We owe a huge debt of gratitude
to the wise and caring women and men whose words appear on this site, and
we acknowledge their wonderful contributions to the lives of so many of us.
To the Kellers and the Emersons and the Gandhis and so many others
who have given us so much: thank you.
We'd
love to hear from you--we appreciate all kinds of feedback.
Drop us a note at infoatlivinglifefully.com

Hello, and welcome!
Thank you for dropping by--we really do appreciate your
presence.
Living Life Fully®
is dedicated to
presenting the wisdom of the ages, especially the wisdom that's
specifically focused on getting the most out of life and being
happy. It's based on the belief that if we can learn from those who
have come before us and have shared their knowledge, our lives can be
richer, more exciting, and fuller. Take your time, visit a page or
two and find something
you like, then come back later for something else--there's definitely no
hurry, and no need to see it all at once.
The main thing, though, is to enjoy. If you'll be back, we'll see you soon.
If not,
please make yours an extraordinary life!

I accept life unconditionally. Life holds
so much--
so much to be happy about always.
Most people ask for happiness
on condition.
Happiness can be felt only if you don't set conditions.

Living
Life Fully is all about learning -- learning about life, love,
relationships,
being human, helping, giving, hope, beauty,
and so much more;
learning
about despair and sorrow and
negative thoughts and arrogance and many
other things that
bring
us down. So many people have given so much to
the world
in the form of insights and
observations, and we want to share
those insights with you in the hope that they'll help
you
to learn to lead
a happy, healthy, fulfilling life on your own
unique, individual terms.

Perhaps the
rediscovery of our humanity, and the potential
of the human spirit which
we have read about in legends
of older civilizations, or in accounts of
solitary mystics, or in
tales of science fiction writers -- perhaps this
will constitute the
true revolution of the future. The new frontier
lies not beyond
the planets but within each one of us.

Let
us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
| |
|

|
| |
|
When
indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we
are all members of
one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow
people, regardless of race, color or creed, shall
fill the world,
making
real in our lives and our deeds that actuality of human brother and
sisterhood--until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the
sense of responsibility
for each other's welfare, social justice can never
be attained.
Helen
Keller |

Two
great Kindle books from our site!
First,
the daily meditations from the first year are gathered
together in a single volume at just $2.99 for the entire
year, and second, almost 4,000 of our most motivating and
inspiring quotations are gathered in one volume for just
99 cents--you can
have thousands of quotations that took over a decade to
pull together, all on your
own PC, Mac, or Kindle, to take with you wherever you go,
to read whenever you feel the need for inspiring thoughts. |

Few of us, indeed, realize the wonderful privilege
of living;
the blessings we inherit, the glories and the beauties
of the
universe, which is our own if we choose to have it so;
the extent to which
we can make ourselves what we wish to be;
or the power we possess of securing
peace,
of triumphing over pain and sorrow.

The
hardest thing to believe when you're young
is that people will
fight to stay in a rut,
but not to get out of one.

A
bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note,
a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of seedlings,
an empty scent bottle for the children. . . .
Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?

Don't
hurry.
Don't worry.
You're only here
for a short visit,
so don't forget
to stop and
smell the flowers.
