What is life? What is the secret to life? What does it mean to be alive?

These questions are at the very core of our existence and I, for one, am not about to preach to you about what I personally think life is. But, quotes just happen to be my all time weakness and so I compiled my favorite ones about Life that get me through the day. I hope they will get you through your days too.

"Maybe life isn't about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it and won." – Unknown

"Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Time decides who you meet in life, your heart decides who you want in your life, and your behavior decides who stays in your life." – Unknown

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." – Dalai Lama

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." – Confucius

"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." – William Shakespeare

"Life always offers you a second chance. It's called tomorrow." – Unknown

"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." – Chuck Palahniuk

"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." – Socrates

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." – Helen Keller

"Ask yourself what is really important and then have the courage to build your Life around that answer." – Lee Jampolsky

"'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table." – Anna Nalick

"Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life. Live for the five a.m.. sunrises and five p.m. sunsets where you'll see colors in the sky that don't usually belong. Live for road trips and bike rides with music in your ears and the wind in your hair. Live for days when you're surrounded by your favorite people who make you realize that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things because they will make you realize that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive." – (a.y)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
