Life has many interesting happenings and given situations. Either life can consist of some of the best or worst times in your existence. However, we have to balance the good in life with the bad. Perhaps we have to find our own meanings and motivations in life, or follow those we like. What meaning does life have in your opinion? Thanks for your input. 

Life is a game, an opportunity to do everything that it offers. Achieve everything, achieve anything. It is about experiences, both good and bad. The completion ratio is important to me.

Do not confuse this for me saying "life is a joke". Life may be a game, but that doesn't mean it's not supposed to be taken seriously. It is most certainly something important, as it's the only thing you have when you get right down to it. All you have is your existence. With that in mind, I wish to achieve everything, see everything, do everything (within reason, dont get any ideas) and live a fairly decent life.

Life is what you make of it, so make everything of it. Survive, overcome, and accomplish.

You know....in the past some people or most I used to say that I hate my life for reasons, gave up before to try and fix anything that made me to go into depression about things. I was still helpful towards people giving them advice when they needed. But when it came to me I just didn't bother to think for myself and how I could make my life possibly better. Until I met more people who convince me other wise. To look into my life more told me I could be so much more. Said to like yourself more because there is a lot more to me than I never seen. I actually tried this and I am happy I did. I now value life and do my best to achieve what I can do to help myself get to places to do more impossible for myself. I like my life now as before I felt that I would only have a bleak future. But now I can see how wrong I was that I can have a bright future.

youshi has already said half I would have posted, so it wouldn't make sense to say something similar to that. And I wanted to share this part instead for a reason.

Life for me is like a time trial,  You only have so much time to make an impact and to have something for people to remember you by.



And like a time trail, you only got one shot(one Life) at doing this.
And like a trial, your going have your rides of ups and downs and hardens hips, but as history has proven the reward eventually comes through facing that harden-ship(Abraham Lincoln is the best example here).



Some people say it's like a video game, but that's not 100% accurate because in video games you have multiple opportunites to relive(despite dying) and undo those failures/mistakes; however, in real life you only get one shot at everything so it's best to take that opportunity and use it to your full advantage.


So for me life translates as this:
Enjoy your time, Be greatful for what you have, always look forward past the hardenships, reap the reward that may await you, and more importantly make sure it counts enough to be remembered.

Ultrajeff : life to me is like a journey where sometimes the road is smooth and other times it,s lumpy sometimes you find yourself reaching a fork in the road and don,t know which way to go but it,s during those times that you do the best you can to make a proper decision and if you should happen to fail you don,t give up instead you move on knowing that eventually things will get better,to me there are many surprises in life some are good and others bad but as my grandmother once told me sometimes you have to take the good with the bad and make the best of it
