YOLO is a visualization of how we should be living. Life should be in the definition that we prefer. It should be liberating and allows us to create and achieve our goals without being hindered by attitudes that could dwarf our potential.
Living only once is NOT about wasting time on the things we enjoy without balancing them with the responsibilities of our decisions. On the contrary, to live only once is to maximize it to the fullest. To dig deep within ourselves, towards our true potential. More often than not, this means trying new things, exposing ourselves to new experiences, and doing the things that we don't normally do.
For sure, getting out of the comfort zone isn't always fun. Our brain may be hardwired to feel uncomfortable when doing things out of the ordinary. But with just a little push, we might find a new path towards a new and improved us.
One thing to remember is that fulfilment in life is relative. No two are the same. Thus, the benchmark should not be based upon other people but rather on our own measurement. Have we dug deep enough onto our potential? What is it that we truly want? What makes us happy?
Be happy. Be progressive. You only live once.
