Do you evaluate your life? And if so, how? By what criteria? What would you say you have done or achieved that has made your life worthwhile (or justifiable even?)

I don't think it's for me to evaluate my life. I just have to do my best. The people whose lives I touch in my travels will do the 'worth' thing.
Aaargh! I sound like some old hippy wierdo...

I have done nothing that makes my life worthwhile, that is the great thing about it. I will probably never be remembered by anyone other than those who are close to me, yet I have been happy and for the most part at peace within myself. And that is what makes my life worthwhile.

My life's worth? Goodness, how can one even contemplate that? Doesn't stepping out there scare you? Isn't it prideful? You know, unless God reveals, we don't even know our own heart. Only God can allow us to have a worthy life. Many of us are decieved into thinking our Christianity is fine, because we are in what is considered a cultural norm or Christianity. So, we judge ourselves by what we percieve others doing, and we judge ourselves by our perceptions of what we think God wants from us. But, the Normal Christian life, is the life of a Saint., that is capital S. Walking in perfection, allowing poverty in your life, giving all your time for the benefit of others, praying for others constantly, walking in humility, becoming so filled with God that miracles are so common. And with all that, still believing you are the most sinful creature in the world, even when miracles abound. That is the normal Christianity.
Is it any wonder, many become bored with Christianity here in America? To them there is no challenge of any kind. And those that try to do more, are looked down on, as religious. No one seems to be trying very hard to be Christian here, and no one seems to be upset about that aspect.

My life is worth while because am open to learn the lessons that come my way to help me develop as a person. Everyday I try to live life the best I can and hopefully affect someones life in a positive way in the process. To find what I am put on this earth to do makes my life worth while. Enjoying time with my son, family, and friends.

Without free will, life can have no external value. Since there is no free will, life has no external value. Life has only the value we ourselves put into it. Since free will doesn't exist, however, the choice we make to put value in it or not is entirely moot -- we make the choice but not by free will. All in all, life is worthless. That doesn't make it any less interesting to be alive, but there's really no point to it.

I used to hate my life. I love it now, because everything works out. I just wish everyone could get as much enjoyment out of life that I do.

Prior to my salvation my life was not worth the dirt I was formed from. After salvation my life has been pure gold.
