What is Life?

11 years ago

Can I tick all of the above please!

However these do resonate with me at this point of my life.
Life is a Game ... Play it
Life is a Gift ... Accept it
Life is a Journey ... Complete it
Life is an Opportunity ... Take it

Thanks GT

Take good care of those that you love.

I agree... this is a great post! I thought about it and each aspect of life applies in some way but there is one that is a consistent theme in my life.

Life is a struggle... face it.

I'm fighting hard to get my life back on track. I want to be free of financial debt. I ran into many horrors because of it and I dream to be free of the burden of debt. I don't want to struggle to the next check, sometimes starving because I can't afford food to eat. I work seven days a week to make that happen. I have a day job that's horrible but I come home and work harder to make my dreams come true. I love writing and IM and I'm going to stick with that until I'm no longer able to, hopefully until my last breath.

I love philosophy and I recently read something from Nietzsche that inspires me to keep fighting. "Suppose nothing else were "given" as real except our world of desires and passions, and we could not get down, or up, to any other "reality" besides the reality of our drives--- for thinking is merely a relation of these drives to each other". He goes deeper into that meaning, which is about a page and a half long, so I won't write the whole passage here but that's the essence of it.

My reality is that if I keep fighting and working hard every day, one day I'll experience true happiness. To be free of my day job, no serious debts, or worrying if I have enough money to pay the rent. I have no doubts it's going to happen. The struggle builds more layers of strength. If I see a debt free existence as my reality, every day that I work towards making it happen will cause for it to happen.

"Life is a duty - perform it."

My daughter needed help with her school projects. Even if I was "exhausted beyond exhaustion," I had to perform my duty as a parent and help her accomplish her assigned tasks.

My life = my kids. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for the input, everybody!

Like many of you, I appreciate most, if not all items on the list. Which one do I personally need to further develop? I think it would be "Life is a Mystery ... Unfold it" because, while I do have firm spiritual beliefs, I still need to learn how best to fit my talents, interests and goals into the broader scheme of things to add greater value to the world... while I am here.

I believe it was one of the Beatles who said, "Life is what is happening while I am making other plans," or words to that effect. My life is about the journey of "one day at a time" and all the above apply. As I complete one phase another has begun. I have no regrets...my worst mistakes are my greatest assets.

I was about to quote John Lennon I (being the huge Beatles fan that I am) when I saw that you have beaten me to it.

Indeed, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." So know what and who your priorities are and make every single day count.

For me, Life is a Game.

Just like in a game, it doesn't matter what you do, whether you just sit down all the time or fighting monsters all the time. Do everything at your own pace. If you want to be stronger, go and kill some monsters. Take action. Everything is just fine.

Hmm...

Life is a Journey ... Complete it

We sometimes get upset with things happening around us, or things we perceive to be roadblocks or closed doors, but you know what? That is what gives life it's flavour! We need to learn to embrace ALL experiences and cherish them for the value and blessings they can provide.

Life is journey ... live it, love it and complete it ... happily!

It's a challenge because I've NOT yet reached my goal (far from it)
It's a Duty because I believe God created me for a reason, I'm here to complete it
It's a Journey because as long as I'm still breathing, I know my journey in life is not completed.
Life is Love because I have friends and family who cares for one another - praise the Lord!
Life is an adventure because it just seems to be like it. (though sometimes it's more like a game)

I think it basically means to live life to its fullest!

We all have different giftings, talents and skills in life and we should utilize those to best of our abilities and never take them for granted or let them lie dormant and be wasted.

Hence, life is a song...sing it, life is a game...play it, life is a race...run it, life is a puzzle...solve it, etc.
