The " Full LIFE"

The definition of living a “full life” varies for each individual. I feel that doing what makes me most happy is what it means to live a “full life”. What inspires and what motivates me?
“ You can not live life, if you are looking for the meaning of life; I believe in the meaningless chaos of life” – Albert Camu.
Please do not misunderstand what philosophy I live by. It’s not that I have a negative out look towards life nor am I critical. It is not to say that life is meaningless. Rather, I believe that life has no ready made destiny or path to take. You should live life as it full fills your desire. The chaos, defined by everyday obstacles, hardships, inbalance, and surprises ultimately define your life. In other words, you define your own purpose in life. It is almost an extreme realist position. I, myself find enjoyment and happiness in things that encourage other’s happiness as well. If I can help make some body smile and had a positive influence in their lives, I am satisfied. In the end living a full life to me consists of many objectives and goals. Ultimately, there all lead to one desire of happiness. To pursue happiness is to ensure a full life. As unethical and immoral the following might sound… I digress. If someone like Adolph Hitler obtains happiness through immoral behaviors, is he then living a full life. Like I originally said, a full life has many definitions. He may think he is approaching his full life. He might think that to live a full life, he must make the german race superior, and eliminate all other races. Therefore, Hitler could have believe he lived a full life. The argument may not be sound. DISCLAIMER: It does not mean that I believe Hitler to be any better person than a Ruthless Son of a Bitch. It does not justify any of his actions. Neither does Hitler’s perspective regarding a full life identifies with my one. I love to feel excitement and I think that if my desire for adventures and traveling is satisfied than I can truly live a full life. I think one of my bigger goals in life is to be financially stable enough to support my family, especially to help my sisters out through college like how my parents helped me. I want to be financially stable to travel the world. I believe in breaking the bubble that society tends to confine you in. Living a full life means to break out of the bubble and learn about the culture. It means integrating yourself globally. I believe in the infinite possibility of knowledge. Knowing and learning is life’s best challenges and best contentment. In the next four months, I seek to learn the differences in Vietnam’s culture, government, and society from right after the Vietnam War to today. I want to learn to understand why people might not like development. I think that every day that I’m here in Vietnam, I break a certain characteristics formed from conformity. I learn to step outside my comfort zone and accept the challenges. After some whining and complaining, I realized that living within your comfort zone limits your intellect and your opinions. In the next years of my life, I plan to make some money. You might think I’m greedy and ugly. However, I believe that right now, I can make very little changes in the global problems I learn about. Bottom line , no matter how one views it, money is power. I want to work my way up the corporate ladder, so that I may be able to productively help people in the future. I am not ignorant of the problems that exist around me here in Vietnam. I can’t help but feel helpless. I guess I can compare this situation to the oxygen mask instructions on the airplane. You can not help others with their mask if you do not have one yourself. That being said, I don’t want to sound like a money hunter. I want to work for the marketing and financial aspect of sports management. I love sports. I want to be successful and ultimately, make my parents proud. My time line
Fall 2011- Being apart of a management team of a corporation while trying to intern for a sports team.
Fall 2015- Finishing my MBA and working for a sports team. I want to see myself traveling and establishing educational institutions in transitional countries like Vietnam. I want to integrate this educational institution idea through the corporation that I work for.
Fall 2020- Opening my own business, possibly start a family. POSSIBLY.
