Hello friends

When people say "Life goes on", what does that mean to you?

Well to me, that phrase *life goes on" simply means whatever you are passing through right now isn't the end of the world. It means you should not keep dwelling on bad experiences rather seek to move on with life because they say better days are ahead.

Life goes on can also means to forgive yourself of the past mistakes and bad decisions you have made and get on with what is ahead of you.

It could also mean that what you did is nothing compared to what you think you did. Meaning what you did is not really relevant so do not think it stops any thing. So it means to simply forget.

Does "Life goes on" make you feel better when something bad happens, or does it not help? Why?

It depends on who said it to me and the bad thing that happened. For instance if you gave me some money to trade for you and I lost it, and you tell me forget about it, or life goes on, in a way it makes me feel better. Infact I will feel like you have forgiven me and decided to let it go.

But in a case where the money used for the trading is mine and let's say that was the only money I have and you tell me life goes on, I will really not feel okay with it. It may not help me at that point. Infact I may get offended because how can you tell me life goes on.

So you see it depends on the circumstances the phrase was said and to whom it was said.

Knowing that we only have a certain amount of time, how does that change how you live?

Well this actually makes me want to maximize the time I have. I live my life free from an form of offense, unforgiveness, hate or bitterness.

So I take my life seriously pursuing only the things that makes me happy, gives me joy and peace as long as I am on the right track with God.

This is the best way I live my life. Right now am living my best life. Setting goals and making plans to achieve them.

What does it mean to be strong and bounce back from tough times? How do you do that?

To be strong and bounce back from tough times simply means not to keep dwelling in the things that went wrong. Yes things have gone wrong but is there a solution? What is the way forward? That's what you should be thinking.

Forgetting the past is one sure way of moving forward. If you can't forget the past then there is no future. Until you forget the past , you can not bounce back from the mistake made.

To be strong means not to break down. Staying strong implies fighting hard to succeed even after a major loss.
