My life is like a vapor. Now you can see me, but later on I will be gone. Whether I like it or not, life is short. Death is sure whether you are rich or poor, famous or not, sickly or healthy.

I love the way you express it. Vapor would be good nor bad. It help some cloud to pour rain. Atleast least you vanish for a reason.

I like how you shortly described your life. Simple yet full of meaning. That is what my mother used to tell me before, I can never bring expensive items in my grave. With that, I have learned the simplicity of life at its finest,

Really is. It sounds very poetic. Very deep and meaningful. And it tackles a topic that is the very real and yet a lot would not be very willing to talk about. I like how wenkx03 put it in a way that before you go, you have served your purpose. It gave depth on phrase.

I agree. Most of the people are afraid of talking about death. It is very short yet full of meaning to deliver. It has a very big point to discuss that everyone have their own purpose in their life that later on, they will just vanish and be gone.

Yes, definitely! This is so true! Life is just temporary. We are here now then gone later. It appeareth for a little time and vanisheth away. We are just like a wind that cometh and returneth not gone.

Exactly my friend. Live your life like it's your last day on earth every day that you wake up because you don't have any knowledge as to when you would be called back to your God the creator.

What you don't enjoy in this life here on earth, you are definitely not going to be enjoying it when you are dead.

I was too close to too many things. And I never made it there. That's how I may sum up my life. I think lot of questions remained unanswered. And lot of things didn't ended properly. So on that note I'd say that life is lot complicated than many of us can imagine. That's what I'd say.

"Thy will be done." Those are the words that I kept on thinking everyday, reminding me to let everything be on its way. That could summarize my whole life so far as I will just go with the flow and trust His plans for me. I just enjoy and cherish every moment given to me and appreciate all the blessings that came into my life.

Things might not be going according to my plans, but it's going according to His now I'm the happiest I've ever been.

That's the best way to describe my life now. It's honestly better than when I was the one taking charge and doing things because I think it's what's meant for me. I'm glad I've taken the time to listen and pray, and now I'm on track.

I agree. And the moment you lose the motivation to learn new things or meet new people, it's time to reflect. Life is a never-ending learning process, I'm not saying I do it all the time, but at least I try to be a better version of my yesterday self one step at a time.

Life is a Roller Coaster Ride for me, there's always a feeling of uncertainty and risks but also satisfaction and rewards. I do believe in Fate and Destiny. There are ups and downs, which is quite normal, the thing is one must always finish the ride.

I think my motto in life keeps changing depending on what challenges I'm facing and what challenges I have overcome. My mantra at the moment is living my life like it's golden.I put myself and take care of myself, I also try to reach my fullest potential in everything I do at the same time I try to enjoy myself as much as possible. I also don't take rubbish from anyone no matter who they are because they are just human beings like me.

"What you could do today, you do it now so you could do something else tomorrow". This is my favorite phrase that shows how you must be productive. In some point you could save a lot of time on accomplish the other things that you planned for the day.

My life is wonderful, as a normal human being, I've been through ups and down, and the downs was really so heartbreaking like I lost all my hope in life, I'm not comfortable in sharing what it is but it hit's me hard, I got dropped out of college and life was miserable way back them, but now I thank God and My Family for everything, because now I'm happy about how's my life going and every single day I'm trying my best to reach my goals, and that wouldn't be possible without God and My Family.

That's inspiring. It's not that bad when you share your deepest fears and regrets. The feeling before telling others is actually worse. The anticipation can be too much to handle at times.

Some people are going to judge us for our failures and mishaps in life. But there are those who will help us. Kind souls who will uplift instead of judge. I'm glad you found them in your life.

Its great that you were able to take things positively and move ahead in life. Each and everyone of us goes through some difficulty or the other at various points in life. We have no other option but to fight on and go ahead in life. Change is inevitable in life, one has to accept whatever circumstances we face in life and move on.

I can relate with your life summary. Things happen for a reason. Sometimes we're left feeling like we've gone through the worst. And then something else comes along. These challenges make us who we are.

Conquering them gives us much needed experience.

I try to remember a simple saying. Nobody's perfect. As much as we want to be great at everything we do, we probably won't be. And that's okay. The good news is that we can still find out what we're good at. Maybe it's a useful skill such as having good memory recall. It could be a sports skill like basketball.

Whatever it may be, it's something special. So don't be too hard on yourself when you fail at other stuff. That's what I tell myself at times of doubt.

I had already experienced the harshness and kindness of life.My life is all about trial and error. Whenever I take risk, it's either I will lose or I will win. I do plan for the future but I let the present do all the work for me. I leave the past behind and move on in life and learn from my mistakes. I don't fear death either so I always take risk when needed. The phrase would be: "Live your life to the fullest without the fear of dying."

I think for me I would choose the phrase "Live life up to the fullest" to describe my life because I am the type of person that I would enjoy my life by doing good things to my fellowmen because I know that life is just too short and I should make use of it. I know that it is good to live in this world since we are experiencing some good things that makes us happy and satisfied but all of us would die, we just don't know when that is why I am trying my best to used my life for meaning things in my best ability.

I summarize my life as a "TRUST". I cannot perceive my future or what is in store for me so I just trust God for it. I just trust Him every single day of my life. When I wake up another day, I just throw my problems at his feet and tell God that I'm giving it to Him so I will not have to fear and worry about it. I tell Him that He is in charge and I just continue on with my day and do all my work. That's just how I survive everyday of my life - "TRUST God".

I'm satisfied with my life and I'm really happy since I've moved in
Minneapolis. I lived in a big city for a long time and often went to clubs, bars and had a lot of fun. I thought it was a better life and that everyone should live it, but I was wrong. Everyone finds their happiness in different things. After a while, I decided to move from the city to the suburbs. I found a website with home improvement services, there are many other services, such as care for the sick and elderly, housing options in different suburbs, where everything is arranged for a good and even life. So is anyone is looking for an independent living community in Minneapolis, you also can use that site.
