How long are you going to live?!
50, 60, 70, probably 80 years.
Not long enough, right?!
Life is too short not to enjoy, so while you still have time, remove that “Boring” tag in your so-called life and start making it a wonderful masterpiece.
Here are some tips that will help you escape from your self-made rut and start enjoying each waking hour of your day.
1. Be Grateful:
Stop whining about the things you don’t have and how wrecked you think your life is. Rather, enjoy what you have and work on getting the things you desire. Gratitude is a good defense against unhappiness, so it is better to keep your sense of gratefulness alive. Moaning about your life will only attract negative vibes, so be wary.
2. Get out of your comfort zone:
Life is all about taking risks; and that’s the exciting part of it. Get out of your comfort zone and don’t be afraid of rejection. Challenges and failure are part of life. Once you learn how to take risks, you’ll soon realize how good it feels not to let moments pass you by. Trust me, you’ll get more out of life than what you are asking for, if you keep on trying.
3. Live in the Present
Enjoy the present and let go of the past. You only have one life, so make it worthwhile. Brooding on the past just hinders you from the things you should be enjoying at the present.
4. Set Exciting Goals:
Stop lazing around and give yourself something to be busy about. Write down a list of all the things you want to do and make a timeline, not to stress you out, but to remind you of your goals.
As what Paulo Coelho stressed in his book The Alchemist, “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
So don’t put limits to yourself because you’ll never know what may happen.
5. Experience the Unfamiliar!!
Getting into something or trying something unfamiliar for you may seem scary, but nothing is more fulfilling than being able to conquer your fear. The world is a big place and there are still lots of things waiting to be explored by you. Do the things you never did or even imagined doing before. Go to a foreign place where you know no one. Eat something exotic.
You owe it to yourself to live a wonderful life. Be grateful, and live in the present. Get out of your comfort zone and experience the unfamiliar. And set exciting goals.
Be Adventurous!

Amy Winehouse performs drunk! Has she lost her mind?
By: MusicMovieLovers | 19-11-2007
Amy Winehouse should finally say 'Yes!' to rehab and get help. Soon. The troubled Brit singer -- whose husband was jailed a few days ago -- recently started her UK tour with a concert in Birmingham, and it was a disaster. Throughout the performance, Amy was slurring her words and stumbled on stage. Her fans then started booing and leaving, to which she said 'To them people booing, wait 'til my husband gets out of incarceration. And I mean that.' At one point she even dropped her mic and walked off stage. Has she lost her mind? Does she really think people will accept that from her? To pay good money to see her perform and she's drunk? Will her record label drop her soon if she doesn't shape up? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YRvtjWUSS4&eurl=http://www.aolvideoblog.com/2007/11/15/amy-winehouse-performs-drunk-at-concert/
A nationally known pathologist has examined the ...
By: jake.brown | 17-11-2007
Former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden examined Kathleen Savio's remains on Friday and determined that she died after a struggle and her body was then placed in the bathtub where she was later found, Savio's family told WFLD-TV."She was beat up and placed in the bathtub as a cover-up for whoever done this," Sue Savio Doman, Savio's sister, told the Fox affiliate.A coroner's jury initially ruled that Savio's 2004 death was an accidental drowning (despite there being no water in the tub). But now, with Drew Peterson's fourth wife missing for more than two weeks, authorities are re-examining the circumstances of Savio's death."There was marks on her hips, her arms, her elbows, on her legs, her feet. ... There was a struggle. She did fight," Savio Doman said.Peterson, 53, who resigned this week as a Bolingbrook police sergeant, has not been named a suspect in Savio's death. But he is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth and current wife, Stacy, who was last seen Oct. 28, 2008 and whose case authorities have called a possible homicide.What I want to know is how did the police botch the Savio case so badly? How could they have so seriously messed up the investigation as to rule the third wife's death as an accidental drowning when there was no water in the bathtub? Are they that incompetent?Do you think Drew Peterson is responsible for his 4th wife's disappearance? What are your thoughts?
