Comments on "Living A Full Life" Essays

Daniel
Daniel, I think this is one of your best posts yet. It was packed with wisdom and very encouraging. You have a talent in explaining things that I often find hard to explain. Many times, I read your blogs and say to myself “that’s exactly what I was trying to say, but couldn’t!” lol We share many similar ideas. You have a way with words, particularly in describing living a full life and living the ideal life. I completely agree that people often get these confused and place materialistic wealth at the forefront for living a ”full life.” But there is so much more, as you discussed, like nature, family, and friends to make you happy. “We are all defined by our insecurities, and I personally feel that life is full and complete when we can HONESTLY define ourselves.” So true! You couldn’t have said it better! A+!

Christina, great paper! Through your readings, I have learned more of who you are as a person, and this week it shined! I admire your independence to “live my life to the fullest degree by absorbing experiences, acknowledging feelings, searching and finding, and maintaining happiness by adding the good while removing the bad.” You seem to have a clear direction and a determination to let nothing stop you. I also appreciate you willingness to point out the negative in life as well. Your picturesque words “I have had rough times where I continued swimming deeper and deeper, rather than just getting out of the water completely” say it perfectly and your desire to learn from your mistakes it most constructive.

Kara, I have enjoyed the blunt honesty in your paper. I think many people struggle with “worrying about living up to everyone else’s expectations “ and are hindered by their own ambitions. Especially, as you stated “these days many people base what your dreams should be on how much it will benefit you, especially when it comes to monetary gain.” THIS IS SO TRUE! I’m glad that you have been so abrupt in stating your opinion, and I wish more people could see life as you, grabbing it by the horns instead of being dragged behind.
