When you were a child you're life is planned by your parents which includes playtime and school. When you were in your pre-teens or teenage years aside from school you have different activities which revolves around your friends. When you are in college your life is planned by your curriculum and thesis. Now, that you are a graduate of a bachelor's degree, with a professional license holder without a job or had applied and still waiting for that phone call. You came to a halt and realize what is life really about? Some say it's called "soul-searching" but I already know I have a soul so why do I still need to search for it? Kidding aside. What is life really about? Is it about working? Is it about building a business empire? Is it about relationships? What is it really about? Please feel free to express your idea/insights.

Life is about making a difference in this world. Life is about what really matters. Life is about doing what one really enjoys doing. Life is about seeking meaning and fulfillment. Life is about treasuring one's family and friends.

Based on your comment; life is about journeying into finding out how to enjoy life by making out the most of what we are given with which are talents, abilities and relationships.

Not quite what I meant. I believe that life ought to be enjoyed though.

LIFE is wat u feel about it. If u feel u want name and fame the u should establish yourselves in any field u are interested.IF u feel u want to be remembered as most lovable person then u would give more importance to your relationships and try to make it more stronger.IF u want to enjoy ur life to the core then u will live each and every moment completely.On the whole i would say life is wat,wat u want it to be.

You keep on referring to "you" how about yourself? So what do you want life to be? On whose/what lens do you see life? Are you understanding life as it is or do you feel it as you are. I'm just curious.

It is such a difficult and meaningful question,i think life is about enjoying you life,lol.When we were young,the life was so memorable and free,full of fantasy.But when we grow older,life become a little hard for us,we need to think for something that we haven't thought about before,but now when i graduate from school,i think i've know the meaning for our life,life is short and colorful,so what we can do is just enjoy ourselves.Good luck.

This is just my view, i have no facts or whatever that can support this. I think life is all about your first step you make after discovery that you have a goal to accomplish. This involves a desire to make a difference in the society, determination to realize your dreams, and applying your maximum effort to come out with desired results. If your have dreams, then don't look back lest you remember your failures. Personal goal should be your drive, limitless effort be your main agenda and always think positive. With all these, you would make it in life. Nice time.

In short; life is about maximizing your potential by successfully using your time and resources professionally and personally in various aspects. It is indeed a good point of view however I think that having a purpose is different from having a goal cause you can run out of goals but not a purpose.
