Why I Don't Live Life to the Fullest

8/31/2016

79 Comments

 
Picture
It’s trendy these days to publically proclaim how much you’re loving your life and really living it up.
 
“I live life to the fullest” is a saying often repeated.
 
It’s usually attached to a photo of the person hiking or at a nice beach, celebrating with friends in Vegas, or while posing in front of their shiny new Range Rover.
 
“I live my life to the fullest” is also a recurring mantra for Facebook posts, hashtags on Instagram, and profiles on dating sites like Tinder, JustCuddling.com and TheAmishNeedLoveToo.net
 
No one really knows from whence the “I life my life to the fullest” slogan sprung, but it’s so damn ubiquitous now that it’s even too cliché for a t-shirt. And they’ll put anything on those!
 
In fact, “I live my life to the fullest” has also morphed into:
 
“I keep it 100!” (I assume that’s percent, not miles per hour.)
 
“’Living the dream!”
 
And for one brief but dark period in human existence, “Living la vida loca.”
 
But what does it really mean? To me, it seems like it’s always in the context of the person:
 
Doing more.
Being more.
Going harder.
Making more money.
Achieving more.
Taking advantage of every second.
Never being bored or inactive.
Enjoying luxuries and the finer things in life.
 
Don’t get me wrong – all of that is great. No one can argue that these aren’t noble pursuits if that’s what motivates you and makes you happy. But I can’t help but notice that they usually have one thing in common:
 
More.
 
They all talk about getting something that you don’t have now. It could be more money, having more good times or looking more like a super model. But when you get down to it, “I live my life to the fullest” really has become “Look at me! I’m having way more fun than the rest of you schlubs!”
 
In some way, we’re all guilty of this. We leave breadcrumbs of social proof that we’re more fulfilled with our time here on earth than the average person. But whom exactly are we trying to convince? Ourselves?
 
Of course, having goals and ambitions is amazing, but have you ever noticed that we don't ever talk about living life to the fullest along with photos of us:
 
Spending time with our children,
Saving to get out of debt,
Or volunteering at a homeless shelter.
 
Is it then a condemning statement about what we value most as a society? Why is it that the majority of the population claims to be living life to the fullest, yet we have record rates of anxiety, depression and are more stressed out than ever?
 
Perhaps it’s another popular saying that sheds the most light on “I live life to the fullest”:
 
“F.O.M.O.” or Fear of Missing Out. It seems to me that these two concepts are inexorably tied.
 
So I’d like to balance the conversation with this:
 
Sometimes, it’s perfectly fine not to live life to the fullest. Do something or do nothing – it doesn’t always matter. In fact, do whatever the hell you want just as long as it makes YOU happy (DISCLAIMER: assuming you’re not stealing from the elderly, exposing yourself in public or hurting puppies.)
 
If you thoroughly enjoy something, then just do it without all the guilt and self-condemnation. Give yourself permission not to keep competing against an impossible ideal.
 
Take a nap. Then take another one.
Drive a beat up old car that ruins any chance you have of attracting a suitable mate.
Stay home on a Saturday night when “everyone else” is out partying, then order a pizza then eat it all yourself, including parts of the box with melted cheese.
Exercise because it feels good and makes you healthier, not so you'll look a certain way. 
 
I guess what I’m saying is that it would be healthy if we stopped feeling like we always need to rush around trying to get more, do more or be more.
 
We are and have everything we need already.
 
What we need is more genuine happiness and less trying to prove that we’re so damn happy to everyone else.

- Norm  :-)

Hi Norm, Thanks for your postcard! Great to hear about your adventures. Your piece on "Why you don't live life to the fullest" reminded me of this email that I recently received from The Center for Action and Contemplation. It talks about how as a culture we worship "success". I posted it below and I hope you enjoy it.
Be well! Judi

Mature Spirituality
Tuesday, August 30, 2016
We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness. Little do we realize that God is maintaining us in existence with every breath we take. Each time you take another breath, realize that God is choosing you again and again—and yet again (Ephesians 1:4. 9-11). We have nothing to work up to or even learn. We do, however, need to unlearn some things, and most especially we must let go of any thought that we have ever been separate from God.
To become aware of God’s presence in our lives, we have to accept what is often difficult, particularly for people in what appears to be a success-driven culture. We have to accept that human culture is in a mass hypnotic trance. Plato already said this, as most religions do at the higher levels. We are sleep-walkers, “seeing through a glass darkly” (1 Corinthians 13:12). Wisdom teachers from many traditions have recognized that we human beings do not naturally see; we have to be taught how to see.
That’s what religion is for, to help us let go of illusions and pretenses so we can be more and more present to what actually is. That’s why the Buddha and Jesus both say with one voice, “Be awake.” Jesus talks about “staying watchful” (Matthew 25:13, Luke 12:37, Mark 13:33-37), and “Buddha” literally means “I am awake” in Sanskrit. Jesus says further, “If your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light” (Luke 11:34).
We have to learn to see what is already here. Such a simple directive is hard for us to understand. We want to attain some concrete information or achieve an improved morality or learn some behavior that will make us into superior beings. We have a “merit badge” mentality. We worship success. We believe that we get what we deserve, what we work hard for, and what we are worthy of. It’s hard for Western people to think in any other way. But any expectation of merit or reward actually keeps us from the transformative experience called grace.
Experiencing radical grace is like living in a different world. It’s not a world in which I labor to get God to notice me and like me. It’s not a world in which I strive for spiritual success. It’s not a cosmic game of crime and punishment. Unfortunately, many of the world’s religions at the lower levels do teach that, even if indirectly. Many religious people are afraid of gratuity. Instead, we want God for the sake of social order, and we want religion for the sake of social controls. God cannot be seen through such a small and dirty lens.
Gateway to Silence:
Let be. Let love.
