Life itself means birth, usefulness, a reason to be alive, and that there is some purpose for all of us being born.
All around us is “life and living things” of all shapes and sizes.
Life is what this planet was made for. All around us are dead planets with no life on them. It is no mistake or “bit of luck” that life exists here on earth and not on the other planets.
You are a life. Your existence is not a “bit of luck”, all life is important. As a confident person you interact with other life on the planet in a positive way, your impact on other people is needed and wanted, even though this may not be obvious to you all the time.
If you are reading this and you don’t feel that your life is worth living then that is a result (like a scar) that something went wrong for you in the past and caused you to lose courage and confidence, or possibly to never even gained confidence and courage due to childhood/life events.
Your current attitude towards yourself and life is a result of what you have experienced, been taught, and how much you understand.
If you currently feel negative then that is due to your past forming these bad feelings that you have about yourself today.
The famous saying, “There but for the grace of God goes I” helps us understand other people, and that we could have been that person if we had lived that person’s life.

Proverb:
“There but for the grace of God go I”
A recognition that others’ misfortune could be one’s own, if it weren’t for the blessing of the Divine.
Humankind’s fate is in God’s hands.
More generally, our fate is not entirely in our own hands.
Usage:
This proverb is an expression of humility; in using it, a speaker acknowledges that outside factors (such as God’s grace, or his upbringing) have played a role in her/his success in life.

I realized some years back that my life could have been anything, and also that the home that I was brought up in makes a great difference how a person turns out. And the people who influenced someone else’s life could have formed me into another person if I had been brought up in another home.
I realized from this that I have no right to judge other people and their lives, and I I have no right to even judge my own life or character. A lot of what I have done, especially when younger was simply reacting back to whatever was happening to me or around me.
All that I really have control of its the right to improve my personal character, try to understand why I turned out as I have, and do the best I can to improve my life, other people’s lives and I know that together the common folk can change the world positively if we all stand in fairness and honesty.

We can do this. We are worthy. We deserve better than what we are currently forced to live and put up with. Life can be much better.
