Life is a time to experience good things and bad things. Feel sad and happy yet angry or upset. A time to experience things that will either kill us or make us stronger. Life is different for everybody.

To be alive is to have the characteristics of a living entity, such as:
taking in substance and extracting energy from it through metabolic actions, the ability to reproduce, the ability to adapt to changing conditions.
However "life", when referring to our existence as humans, could be characterized as a series of experiences. From our first awareness to our last, we are confronted with sensory or internal stimuli that are synthesized by our minds into a generally linear experience - like a story or film - that we experience as "what it is to be us". Descartes said "Cogito, ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am".
As they say... "stuff happens". Our interpretation of and reaction to that "stuff"... well... that's life!

Life is to live! But how many of us really do! Pains or joy, goods or bad, we need to face it, challenge it, overcome it and live our life.
