The fact that you wake up everyday means you've been blessed with another day. You may not believe it but people do love you. You mean the world to at least one person.

There's always a reason to keep living. I recommend planning events in the future, no matter how small. I find the motivation to keep going by setting little thrills here and there.

There is always a future, when things are tough it doesn't mean they should end tough. The future is something that hasn't happened yet and can change and you can determine whether or not you will have a happy life or not you just have to keep striving for a positive and happy life.

Because we only experience barely 5% of our lives which are bad, if we give up we are giving up on the good

The use of living is to learn and grow, make unique friends alone the way, going on hiking and doing daring things that you won't do on a regular base, trying something new and being openminded when things get you down and others are giving recommendations.

Everyone has a purpose. It sounds a cliché, but we all may end up being role models to others. Just the fact we are making an effort to find our own place, that means a lot, and we will end up finding what we're looking for.

Through most of history, it's been a hope for the land of the hereafter. Lately though, that's been changing. Find meaning in your responsibility to the society you live in and that will sustain you.

Given the unpredictable nature of life, it's not a far stretch to assume that even if things seem shitty now, they won't get better later. Someone needs you, and while that might seem inconsequential now; when it happens you'll be glad you stuck through it.

Being alive is the best thing that is given to us. Life can be rough and hard sometimes but it molds us to who we are today. Even diamonds are just a piece of mineral unless it is polished. That's what life do to us. It polish us to become great. It is hard to understand for now but someday all of the hardships we encounter will make sense. Just keep the faith.

Life is so beautiful. There are multiple things in life that can help you feel better. There are amazing people on this earth that can help you overcome obstacles that life may throw your way. Life is full of beautiful things such as: nature, music, the people, the food, the cultures, the most beautiful places on earth.

Why I decide to keep living and what's the use of it? I want to see what the future hold for me since at the end of the journey you can turn on your past to see how far you have come through in your life. Especially the hardship you have been through for yourself and other people as well.

There's so much to live for, even if it doesn't feel like it now. You never know who you're going to meet, places you're going to visit, opportunities you can do. These things can be so amazing and make life the best thing going.

Life is precious. Its a gift. Its a result of billions of years of evolution. It is also very true that we humans suffer from various problems be it physical or mental but life is as such. Most psychological problems are an outcome of the the way of life we lead and our relation with the society. But to be able to live is beyond such human problems. We must understand that life is a journey and we must live through the tough times to experience the happiness that are there in this journey.

Every life is so important. If you are here there is a person who wants you to be able to love yourself no matter how hard. First be true to you because how to make the use of a life is sharing the things on places like here so when you get in a hard time there are people in this world that will look at this life and know that no matter what every life is precious, I truly believe there is a use for everyone in a positive way.

That’s a very good question, what’s the use of living... I gave myself this question when I was doubting my own Existence. And at the end of that dark hour I figured that We have a choice to look at life is happening to us or that we are the one who creates our life. I figured that it can matter nothing or everything and Therefore I can try everything and anything during I am alive and see how far I can get. I will risk it all .... since then I have this choice in my mind and I risk =)

The reason to keep living is to enjoy being alive, and to be satisfied when your time comes and your happy.

Don’t you dare talk like that! You are needed, and even if you don’t see it, others do. They could be scared of how to show it, you should know that you’re loved. Even if it’s only me! 💕 you have a future ahead of you, don’t live in the past. You just need a bit of help figuring it out. And that’s okay, because I’ve been where you are. Thinking that nobody would notice or care if I died. But I started talking the helpline YourLiveYourVoice they helped me. I want to help you.

I live mostly to help other people. Even if everything else in life is temporary and empty, the positive effect you have on other people's lives is permanent and makes the world better.

There are many great things in life to live for. Even if you feel alone. There are many things in life that you can look forward to and it only requires yourself. --Coffee--Tea--Pumpkin and vanilla scented candles--starting a new book--Big breakfast!--and chicken nuggets :)

We are here to learn, to teach, to grow and to spread love. This place needs a looooot of love! We are all in this together as souls, let's try to make the struggle that is life a little easier on each other.

Why keep living? Keep living because even in times of great duress there is at least the guarantee of change. If your life is terminated you have no clue what will be on the other side. No one knows - all we know is what happens to your body over the passage of time. In the end, the chances that you'll be able to overcome your hardships far outweigh the limitless potential that the afterlife may not be your escape.

We chose to live because we yearn to challenge ourselves to dig deeper than total and utter despair about our current situations. The saying about permanent solutions to temporary situations is right. Maybe we all don't feel like we deserve to live but we are here aren't we? We have life within our bodies. Some of us are more alive than others, but we are all a stream running into the river of the lives of our future generations. With that in mind, we must all understand that abruptly ending situations that we are currently facing, will restrict the longevity of hope which we have sparked in the hearts of those who surround us and will potentially succeed us. We have all originated from somewhere but if we do not consciously take the effort to add value to our future, our present becomes futile and our past begins to define us. Not much of what lies in your past is worth sitting upon especially because your future is fast approaching and will sooner over take you to transform your actions in your current situation into events of the past, further adding to the incidents that you cannot effect anymore. If there is something you feel could be worth while in the life you live, such as love for others, careers or spiritual connection, find that and invest all your strength and will power into it. Sometimes this will mean cutting away at bad habits yet rewarding every small step.

Lets just know, we are not living because of ourselves, but for others too. You may feel or believe that your existence is triggering others too, but it isn’t. One day if you choose to give up and halt your breath, you’ll kill the people who cared about you, people who needed you, people who loved you. So before taking such step, take a look around you, know that these people are here for you, and you have to be there too.

Because things get better. There is always light at the end of a long dark tunnel. Set small goals. Speak out. Get help. Make a difference.

Because that's the only way forward. People matter and at the end of the day, tomorrow might be better. Change is always possible and opportunities don't have a timetable (unfortunately). You just have to do your best.
