A little saying, or motto, that you keep in mind. It can be about anything. I personally like this, which is on the back of the "Relentless" energy drinks(yes, I'm addicted) :
It's goodbye to the shortcuts,
and hello to the grind.
Nobody ever said it
would be an easy ride.
Suffer for your art.

The definition of life is hard even for biologists. In Biology the definition of life are given by the acronym: REMRING Reproduction Excretion Movement Respiration Irritability Nutrition Growth. Back when I studied Biology, any one of those could define life, for example viruses were considered alive even though all they could do was respire, but fire wasn't considered alive even though it was clearly capable of reproduction, growth and the chemical reaction for combustion is eerily similar to that for respiration. These days I asked on a biology forum about viruses and the consensus was viruses are no longer considered to be alive. However on another web site there is debate that viruses are alive when inside a cell but not when they are outside a cell. This brings us back to the question how is an active virus alive but not a computer virus since a computer virus is self replicating within the medium of the operating system in reproducing it uses energy as electrons need to change the position of logic gates from on to off. So now we have established that even amongst the scientific community there is no consensus about what defines life - let's look at the religious. Genesis 1:30 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so. In ancient times the word breath was considered synonymous with life as a person was discovered to be dead when they stop breathing, this definition then would at first glance mean single celled organisms and multicellular creatures that do not breathe to not be alive - thus excluding fish, plants and most insects. However in Genesis we read that the Lord gave man the breath of life, therefore the breath of life has nothing to do with actually breathing but has to do with a metaphysical thing that was given from the divine that sets that which is alive apart from that which isn't. It is no coincidence that in both ancient Hebrew and ancient Greek the word breath is the same as the word spirit (Heb Ruach, Grk Pneuma) which also by the way means wind. If we then take the definiton of the "breath of life" as a metaphysical "spirit", then we have a metaphysical definition of life which cannot be falsified and therefore cannot be analysed scientifically but can be analysed religiously, from the interpretation of dogma. Life then from a Christian perspective then is metaphysical and is that which possesses a spirit. A spirit is that which is sent from God to animate an inanimate object temporarily and upon the death of the living organism returns to God. Though useful for religious discussion this definition is useless from a scientific perspective as it cannot be measured, quantified or falsified.

Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something. It's better to burn out than it is to fade away. If you have a hammer, find a nail. Engineering - How does it work? Science - Why does it work? Management - When will it work? Liberal Arts - Do you want fries with that? The meaning of life is that it ends.

Mine is kind of long and it may even sound a bit pompous, but it is the result of much thought about how I want to live my life:
I am committed to living life fully, with passion and grace,
each day filled with love, joy and abundance,
using conflicts and breakdowns as springboards to opportunity,
and creating an exciting and inspiring future

"Do unto others as they do unto you then **** off before the police get there". I got a great one in an email the other day-"Treat every situation in life as if you were a dog- if you can't eat it or shag it, piss on it and walk away".
