Living my life to the fullest?

How do you know you have lived your life the way you wanted to? And at its fullest?

Have you ever questioned yourself, what is my purpose in life?

You will probably never know the value of life unless you have come to experience a life and death situation, or losing someone you love, or probably become really sick.

I read the book "Veronika Decides to Die" by Paolo Coelho, it says a lot about valuing life. I love this author.

The main character was really eager to die with no particular reason. She probably just got tired of her boring life. Her attempted suicide lead her to a psychiatric place, so instead of dying, she was able to meet crazy people.

She learned that her failed suicide would lead her to a heart failure and she only has a week to live.

As days went by, little by little, she has come to realize she still wants to live. She met a guy, crazy guy, and in a few days she fell in love with him. Isn't that crazy? Probably. Because they are!

In the end, Veronika lived because the only remedy to her sickness is to have that will not to die.

Same thing happens, you will only realize the worth or value of something / someone, if it’s already gone or if you’re slowly losing it.

How important life is to everyone? For me, really important. Everyday is a new day and a new life.
