What is life you might wonder...
To me life is a river full of choices. We follow the tide or swim against it. We need rocks to guide our path, we need to choose a direction when the rivers forks, never knowing what path you would have walked had you made a different choice.
At times the river goes slowly and you can relax and let life carry you, but at times the river is in great turmoil, ever raging, almost drowning you.
But during these times is when you will grow stronger, allowing you to better steer life the way you want it to go. However, no matter how strong you get, you can never influence the river itself, only how you deal with it.
It all boils down to choices and strength. Swim in the direction you want to go, while keeping in mind that the way the river flows is often the path you must take.
