    You and your life...?
    What is your personal thought about how you should/would want to use your life?
    Leave all the traditional or general answers to the sense of life. What reason have you found to live if any? What would you like your life to be so that it satisfies you?
    Do you find it a hard struggle to make a sense of it all or you find it easy and even enjoyable? Is there anything in particular that makes you glad you're here now?

    Let me know!

    Make the most of my opportunities, because even though we don't know if there is an end to life we may as well do the best with the means.

    Also, bacon.

    Joy. My only purpose in life is to enjoy myself - I plan to do this through success in my work and leisure activities.
    And Dinnes is correct; can't forget bacon. :cool:

    To do the things I enjoy as often as possible, to have a family, and to be able to look back and think that my life wasn't wasted. Pretty much what I'd guess everyone wants. I'd obiously like money, but only to fun the aforementioned goals.

    When I become Super-Evil-Arch-Overlord of Everything Shiny and Awesome my first law will be to make Bacon compulsory.

    Never stop finding things to laugh at. I'm too young to have any serious life plans beyond that.

    To reach my potential in as many aspects as possible, making the most of many opportunities given to me which so many other people don't have. Happiness is obviously factored into it, but I consider that a subset of opportunities - if I make the most of what I've got (in the long term) I'll be as happy as I can be. And I think happiness tends to give the wrong focus and often leads to short-term decisions, like playing video games (I do, but it's not best in the long-term!).

    Just my approach to it!

    (...)
    I follow my destiny to understand why I am here. I guess if I walk along this track, I get answers to this question.
