For my parents, for my sister, it looks like the second option. Not that they don't enjoy traveling and experiencing new things, but they are very much grounded in their respective areas, grounded in their own groups of friends. They have definite goals and a clear(ish) picture of how to get there. And I pray and ask if that is where my life is heading, but I don't get an answer. I get a big nothing. Or I get a big "Wait." I like to be prepared. I want to know what life lived to the fullest means for me and feel like I'm going to miss out on it if I don't know what it is ahead of time.
I know that I won't. God has always been too faithful for that to happen. But that doesn't stop the need to know. To search it out. To wonder if my actions are leading to that life well-lived.
Just a passing thought.

Interesting question. I think the life lived is one in which you take pleasure in everyday things. It's enjoying that cup of coffee in the morning and the conversation you have with a friend. The debate you have over studies in class, and perhaps seeing from a different point of view through conversation and discussions. I think its the little things that you'll look back on when you're older and be glad that you did them.
However, I'm certain that you will have a well lived life with your faith and good heart. Whether it's one spent traveling or settling down and creating a family. Your faith will lead you on the right path. :)
