"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had"
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
About this Quote
This quote by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross speaks to the importance of living life to the fullest. It suggests that when we understand that our time in the world is restricted, and that we don't understand when our time is up, we should make the most of each day. This means valuing the minutes we have with our liked ones, pursuing our enthusiasms, and taking dangers. It likewise indicates bearing in mind how we spend our energy and time, and not wasting it on things that do not bring us happiness. Living life to the max is about taking advantage of every moment, and not taking anything for approved. It's about being present and appreciating the charm of life. By comprehending that our time on earth is restricted, we can take advantage of each day and live life to the fullest.
