Top 10 Reasons to Live

Life's a bit of a rollercoaster, wouldn't you say? It's full of ups and downs, unexpected turns, and moments that make you laugh until your sides hurt. It's a personal journey, and what makes your heart sing might not be the same as what makes mine tick.

Maybe your thing is climbing the career ladder and feeling that sweet sense of achievement. Or perhaps it's those simple joys, like having a good giggle with your buddies or welcoming a new pet into your family. The beauty of life lies in how different it is for each of us. It's a kaleidoscope of experiences and emotions, all woven together into this crazy, beautiful thing we call existence.

So, what's your reason for sticking around? Maybe you've got a whole list of reasons, or maybe you're still trying to figure it out. And hey, that's perfectly fine. It's all about finding what lights your fire, what makes you want to jump out of bed each morning with a smile on your face. If you haven't found it yet, don't stress - plenty of people are still exploring and discovering their purpose.

Think of life as a story that you get to write, even when some chapters get a little tough. While you're here, why not take a moment to appreciate all the amazing things that make life worth living?
The Top Ten
1 To love

Life's glory, life's pain, and life's favorite prospect. The one thing everyone vies for, whether it's from family, friends, or a companion. As twisted as a person may be or even if they won't admit it, we all want the same thing: compassion and the feeling of knowing you're wanted.

Love is the greatest thing of all time. Praising the Lord simply comes with love. Love is the essence of life, the ultimate key to happiness.

Love is the dance of eternity and is everyone's favorite thing in existence. Love endures all things.

Love is what creates life. It motivates us, comforts us during hard times, and is something we all need. Every single human desires love.

It makes us better people and shows us who we are.

2 To accomplish your wildest dreams
3 You are beautiful
4 To enjoy all those little moments that make life what it is

The good things that happen every day, because barring a few things, everything is little, but it always has a reason for happening.

5 To praise God

Love comes from God. God invented love. Also, the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. That in itself is enough proof for me.

Whatever you believe in, believe with all your heart. That's what I just said.

6 To enjoy sex, drugs, and rock n roll

Okay, maybe not drugs as much (they can kill you), but I would think the rest are well-deserving.

Yeah, life is about having fun, not sitting at a desk. Go out and do something new.

7 To touch the lives of others
8 To see the future

This is a big reason I haven't killed myself yet - to see the technology of the future.

But I think I was born at the most perfect time in history for many, many reasons, even though I do kind of still want to live in the 80s.

Technology and climate change issues make the future really interesting. The longer we are alive, the more of the future will be ours.

9 To teach people
10 To grow wiser

11 To be remembered

To be remembered is the most important thing to me. I move a lot, three or four times a year, and it scares me to know that one day they won't remember me.

To not be remembered, to me, is like everything you do in life was a waste.

I say that I want to be famous. I know there is a very little chance, but it's still possible.

Sally Ride got a one in a thousand chance into NASA and now she is always remembered by people. Can we be the same?

I plan to work for NASA when I grow up. I want to make a discovery so amazing in astronomy that people will remember me for centuries.

12 Because we were born

I agree with this comment because it speaks of something natural, such as being born. Being born is the first step in living.

Why do I find this reason very interesting and convincing?

13 To live life on the edge, to make the most of everything
14 To take over the world
15 To get to heaven

All other reasons I've read are only temporary.

That's our main purpose here on Earth.

16 To make a difference in life

We all have our own beliefs. However, my beliefs make me feel that my best reason to live is to do something that will be favorably remembered for generations to come.

We are only on this planet once, and to touch so many would be the pinnacle achievement.

To leave a mark on this planet, to change the way people think, to strive for something more. Without people with this mindset, we'd still be in the Stone Age.

17 Your dog would totally miss you

Well, mine wouldn't, but that's beside the point. He would miss barking at me and jumping on me, though. It's pretty entertaining. For him.

18 To see the stars
19 To travel
20 To watch as many movies as possible
21 To see a child smiling at you

And all those magical moments when you think, "Hey, life is worth it." This includes loving - lover, friends, family, somebody you look at in the street who makes you feel happy, whoever - and being loved. These are the things that make you truly believe in love, humanity, trust, happiness, and life.

One of the best rewards in life is having a child and making them happy.

22 To try to become a celebrity

I definitely won't become a celebrity, but I'll definitely be fine.

23 To explore the universe
24 So you don't have to watch your future family make dumb decisions
25 To accomplish goals
