WE ONLY LIVE ONCE

“We only live once, live life to the fullest”.  I cannot totally agree with this dictum because for many it becomes misinterpreted.  Because their reason “we will live one time, so live to the full”, so you will overdo it like eating whatever they want.  The use of this justification “we will pass on this world one time so we have to enjoy, indulge and get overused of it’ is so popular.  You will only live once so make the most out of it like indulging wine, vices, the bullshit, materialism, relationships, etc.  We will just live in this world once so maximize our life, let us make the most of it.

For me, this should not be literal, instead why don’t you translate it to different take?  We will only live one but not live to the fullest and instead (we will only live once) live life correctly.  To live it to the fullest, maximize your life and make it better like your socialization and your personality.  We will pass on this world once so let us live it rightly.  Do not abuse your body to many different foods because this is what will make your sickness.  Not because we have the capability to buy them doesn’t means we can eat what we want.  There is still limitation because you are what you eat.  If you have an illness it is because of what you ate.  The truth to this matter is that you will eat because you really want to eat delicious foods and not just because you can afford them, thanksgiving, or feeling blessed.  Do not abuse your money.  Not because you have it then you will but every expensive and latest thing because the truth is your worldliness is existing.

We cannot make our life to the fullest because when you get there, you will still feel to want the fullest.  The fullest today will not be the fullest when you get there so you cannot really live to the fullest.  Our happiness and hunger is endless.  We have indulged in silly things but once you've done them you'll still be looking for more to surpass those silly things you did.  You have already eaten at expensive fine dine-in cozy restaurants their delicious lamb, beef, pork chicken and sea foods but you cannot deprive not to eat again these foods to these restaurants because it is already in your taste buds.  You already bought the latest smart phone model but after just few weeks and months, there will be another new model of smart phones so that is what you will aim to buy.  Being child is just once so we will give whatever makes the children happy.

Instead of enjoying so much, why don’t we give it different meaning as mastering, bettering and enhancing our body, personality, spirit, talent, mentality and emotion?  Teach the children how to work hard to get their dreams and not become spoiled brat.  Prefer to eat healthy foods and have work out to make your health your wealth and live without enduring or undergoing serious illness.  Be helpful, empathetic and socialize well so that your personality will become so pleasant to other people.  Be God-centered to make your spiritual personality have the much-needed and most-sought peace of mind.  Cultivate your talent and value your job to become that you may be useful.  Open and broaden your mind, be modest, and ignite your emotion to live up your life.  When you able to do these, you can really say you live your life full, you have come into full circle, or if that is the circle of life may be.  When you able to do these in your life in this world, this is the meaning of you have just live once so live right.
