My Dear Brother, took a bit long, as was busy in meditating on the supreme soul..
Human Life is a limited manifestation of unlimited consciousness, with limitation defined at many levels, with the triple afflicting modes of material nature.
Under this triple Affliction, The material time manifests causing activity on certain space, where Baddha Jiva's or Material Bound Souls participate in these activities, in one of the three afflicting modes ( Vis -- Satva , Rajas and Thamas ) .
When a soul established itself above, these three modes of nature, than it is independent of Material time, and also independent of this affliction and hence the limits also cease to exist.. as if the Jiva's was participating in a dream which got over..
This process of arresting this affliction is Yoga..
The purpose of life is to understand the manifest and win this manifest and establish ourself in our true form, where we are not controlled, by these modes, and hence not controlled by birth and death and desires.
God Bless you my Dear Brother,
-- Deito

Energy... :-)
Work, rest & play...
Animation...
Happiness...
Strength...
Goodness...
Right Release.
Everlasting...
Diligence.
Not wilting.
Taking a stance.
Effort.
'Fighting'.
"Diligence is the Path to the Deathless State; Negligence the Path to Death.
The Diligent do not die; the Negligent are as if unto the Dead."
(Dhammapada verse 21)
In Pali:
"appamaado amata padam,
pamaado maccuno padam.
appamattaa na miiyanti,
ye pamattaa yathaa mataa".

This is probably what is meant by the adage found in all cultures, that the warriors, the brave, the courageous, go to the Highest Heaven...
No prisoners. :-)
Keep fighting, people; the good fight.
Keeping positive. Keeping loving...
There are results for such actions.
The warriors' heaven...

The greatest mystery of creation has been explained in different ways by different people...
It is an encounter with time and space.. It is the karmic cycle that starts somewhere in the distant past and continues endlessly... The "realized souls" know its mechanism... It is not possible to explain it to the unrealized ones just as the light can not be explained to a blind person... (so they say..)
The God (Holy Spirit / Allah / Para Brahman / call it some name) created the world and its life forms out of His pleasure, protects us for some time and dissolves all ultimately...
Life is love - we are born from love, live by sharing love and merge in the eternal life of Divinity..
Life is love, enjoy it!
Life is a Game, play it..
Life is a Challenge, meet it
Life is a Dream, realize it - Sri Sai Baba.
Where the words and mind return without being able to explain it (the Divine Mystery)... says the Hindu veda (Thaithreya Upanishad) : "Yatho vaacho nivarthanthe apraapya manasaa saha.." (samskrit verse)!
Know Thyself said the wise Socrates... and the saints of yore... Because in the heart of our hearts lies hidden the same mystery that sustains the limitless universe... "Thella therinthaarku jeevan Sivalingam..." (saint Thirumoolar - Tamil verse).. The realized ones know the Almighty is in the Jeeva (life principle of the individual)..
Lord Jesus also progressively explained the principle in his declarations "I am the messenger of God..." "I am the Son of God... " "I and my Father are One..." thereby showing the stages by which a seeker would realise the Lord in one's own self, as declared in the Oriental Faiths...
Thus life is a march from the limited existence to the everlasting presence... its secret is Love - the divine attribute of selfless concern for all life forms... (cf: mundane love is an infatuation that is basically selfish... demanding attention, patronage, etc.)... in such Love we shall merge in the eternall principle that is LOVE itself... say the saints...
Love is life... hate is death... unbroken love and sacrifice bestows the eternity and the eternal beings (like Jesus or Budha &c) could guide and help other seekers to attain that status of eternal life... of which we know nothing from this plane of our limited consciousness...

Life to me is like a journey that you will have to travel. You will have ups and downs and also you will have good times and bad times. But all at the end everything that you went through was for a reason.

When you wake up breathing. When you wake up and can see. When you feel, and dance, and love.
Babies breath and rose bud lips, even when it smells like formula.
Watching the turkey vulture glide, knowing that there are things in the world so ugly, and yet so beautiful.
Coffee and conversation...
The things we do not appreciate until they are gone. The things we know now we cannot live without.
Love, life and faith...the knowing that these three things are intertwined and cannot be separate. Love as only can be felt with truth and honesty. Life as only can be lived with truly lived without fear. And faith, your faith, your path, your truth...

Life is the practice we engage in to help us learn and evolve into more spiritual beings destined for a higher plane within the universe.

The part of you who knows how to breathe, even when you are not aware of breathing; the part of you who knows how many hairs grow from your head; the part of you who keeps your blood doing what it's supposed to be doing; the love..."Loving thoughts are the world's only reality." --A Course In Miracles.
Life is infinite, has no levels/divisions; life is free, perfect, whole, and infinitely creative. There's more...

life is an interval of time between birth and death. Plenty of creatures on this planet living this period but I think it is only to get shape of organs and then pass the time to protect that existance as much as longer can be possible .

It's a noun and a verb.
It's an individual self and it's a dimension of activity.
It's the animating force that brings all that is to life.
