Enjoying the journey, not worrying too much about the destination. Sorta like what James Taylor said in that song, "Secret O' Life."
Now if I could only practice what I preach....

I'm glad you asked that. I've been keeping it to myself for so long. And you know how tempting it is to tell a secret.
The secret is that there is nothing BUT life. I know you've been told that there is life and there is not-life, but it's not true. Think about it. How could that be true? You know a plant starts from a tiny seed and grows into a giant tree, right? And it does that by using the water, the air, the sunshine, and the dirt which become the tree. So they must all be part of life, too. If you think they are not, then what is a tree? Is it a giant pile of not-life with a tiny seed of life in it? Of course not.
The same thing applies to humans. A tiny seed (egg, sperm) grows by accumulating surrounding material, mostly the animals and plants we eat and the air we breathe. But the animals eat plants and we have already shown that the plants eat dirt, water, air, and sunshune. Therefore all the surrounding material we "live" in is part of life. Even sunshine and sand is part of life.
So the big secret of life is that the universe is alive and, according to the astronomers, growing! Yes, it's expanding, getting bigger, and if you could live long enough then you could probably watch it reproduce.

to find that answer we have to break the word into it's smaller parts, li and fe. What do these 2 words mean? Nobody knows. It's a mystery and so is the meaning or secret of life.

The secret of life is life because either way it goes if you die you live and if you live you die.

Work hard, expect negative things to happen,don't let people live rent-free in your head,don't go ga-ga over celebrities because they don't care about you and be tough,self-reliant and not look down on the less fortunate.because after all,that COULD be you.Good luck to you.One more thing,treat your body like a temple.
