life or living ?

I am starting to ask myself , where am I going to be in the next few years......I realised that I still don't have an answer to that question... all I know is if I work hard and be true to myself then... I think I will be able to live a long healthy life. But then.... what is living? Is that just graduate my studies , have a job , earn money , buy a car , buy a house , fall in love , get married , have some kids , grow old , then die ? is that living ? I wouldn't have an idea on it ... do you ? That is more to life than living, I have been ask myself , is that living the life that I want ? well it is actually a boring cycle and everyone is gonna end up with the same ending no matter you are rich or poor, famous or hated the simple ending is always the end...I think everyone of us will go through this question at least once in our life. Maybe , life is more simple if we think simple. Someone has told me it is important for us to enjoy and treasure every moment and experience that we have, so we won't regrets and being happy is the most important to all..if we are not happy everything will become meaningless.... Yes I totally understand what you mean by... since we born the God has given us a white paper...we are drawing our own life....but till now I am still in lost of the way...I don't know what I want... I guess some people have it all planned out, some people just don't.... Isn't life about exploring? to live life to the fulliest , to find happiness? I guess it will always be an on going process....of course sadness and anger, disapointment are also part and parcel of it... but there should be some differences between each person, because everyone have different responsibility and position in this world...and I believe that I shall have my special "way" of life which others can't be the same as mine.
there is not only money, family, and job in my life , but what? I am still searching...

Love and peace~
