"The Unexamined Life is not Worth Living"

An unexamined life is not worth living. People live their lives everyday and sometimes, are still unsatisfied. If you don't strive for your goals and reach for your dreams then you're just settling for something, when you know you could do better. In my opinion, you're not alive unless you're living everyday like it was your last. One of my biggest fears is dieing and feeling like I could have done somuch more with the precious gift of life I had been given. So many people take advantage of their lives, and spend the majority of their life on a couch in front of a TV.

In my opinion, if you examine your life and there is something that doesn't feel right about it or that is unsettling or displeasing, then you know you should change to what makes you happy. You only have one life here on this earth, right now is the time to live it up. Strive for your best. If you want to be a doctor and your aspiration in life is to help other people, dont become a real estate agent, just because it is easier to become.

The way I look at life, is live with no regrets. Do the things that some people think are crazy. Who cares? It's your life, not theirs. An example of this is when my friends went to sing karaoke in a restaurant. Of course, they were nervous, but they had always wanted to do it. And yes, some people gave stares like, "Who told those girls they could sing?" but they just wanted to have fun, and my friends knew that more than likely, they were never going to see the people that were in that restaurant ever again. So why not? If you live your life conforming to what society wants to see and not what you want to be, then your life is going to seem unexamined by yourself even though it is your life, because you didn't live up to your dreams and aspirations.
