The song 100 Years definately relates to the quote, "The question is not weather we will die, but how will we live," by Joan Borysenko. I think the quote means that you shouldn't focus on the end of your life, instead you should focus on living your life the way you want it to be lived. This quote relates to my daily life in a big way. Sometimes I think too much about how my life will be when I'm older. This quote helps me realize that I need to stop worrying so much about the future, and just focus on living my life. This quote also showed me that I should make the most out of life and not just watch my life pass me by. Life is valuable and you should live it to the fullest, and not focus on the future too much.

I think this quote means that there is no doubt that we will die. The question is how will you chose to live. I am in charge of my own destiny and the choices I make in life will determine my future. Nobody knows when their time will be up on earth, so I need to make the best of every moment I am here. It is important not to take for granted the time we have here and make a difference. The lyrics of this song really make you think about the impact of the choices you make and how every minute counts. Life goes by so fast and I don't want to have any regrets. The lesson I take from these lyrics is make a difference, live life to its fullest because life flys by so quickly.
I think this quote means that it doesn't matter how or when we die, but how we live our life on a day to day basis. To me, its saying that we shouldn't spend our life wondering when we will die, but we should spend it having fun and doing what we enjoy. This quote relates to me in many ways. I remember when I was younger, I would also wish that I was in highschool. Now that I'm in highschool, I wish I were young again. Sometimes I think too much about the future and what my life will be like someday. Wondering about the future is almost pointless because we never know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is too short to think about stuff that doesn't matter, so I would just want to live my life to the fullest every day.

The qoute " the question is not whether we will die, but how will we live." Joan Borysenko relates to the song 100 years. This quote means that you should live your life how you want to and not worry about what is going to happen in the future. I use this quote in my life by not thinking about the future and just focusing on what is happening now. I make this time of my life about what ever i want to do. When it comes the time to start focusing on the future i will. Live life by the moment and see where that takes you.
This quote relates back to 100 years by Five for Fighting, because there both motivating me to live my life in the moment, and not watch it go by. This quote means, dont focus on what might happen, or the worst. Focus on now, this moment, and make it something i'll remember for the rest of my life. Because when im older i dont want to wonder where my life went. I want to look back on the most amazing memories, that will make me so happy inside. Because i will know that i have lived my life to the fullest. "The question is not wether we will die, but how will we live.," by Joan Borysenko reminds me that i am in control of my life, and i can choose what i want to make of it. I only have one shot to make it a good life, and I have to make it count.

To me this quote means that it doesn't matter how you die, but it only matter how you live while you here. This relates to me in a few ways. Its telling me that I shouldn't look too far in the future or look at how im going to die. But that i need to look at how im living now and what I'm doing here on earth. It makes me feel like I need to be a better person and be positive and help encourage others. Also that while I'm on eath I should try to make a difference in others lives and not just mine. That is what this quote says to me.
The quote relates 100% because we all know we will die. The song wants to express how quick your life can change, and how fast it will go. The quote wants to know how you will live your short life. It wants to know what things you will do in it with the time you got. Life can end anytime so how will you live it? This relates to me because I know I will die one day, I don't know when but I will. I need to work towards my future and how I will live my life. I guess the quote just wants to say live your life to how you want it to be.
the song 100 years closely relates to the quote "The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live." because the message of 100 years to live is that even if you have a bad day, you have the ability to make the next day even better. when people are in there teenage years they never really realize how presious life really is, but as we become adults we start to make our mark in the world and the more we do than the more we shall be remembered for. this quote is importent on my life because whenever i do something i always think it out, and i look at it from a prespective of "is this going to hurt me or others in the future" my parents raised me on that mentallity and im going to stick to it for the rest of my life

this quote, "the question is not weather we will die, but how will we live"to me this means that we are all going to die but theres no telling what life will bring us. So we shouldnt waste it. We should live it to the fullest without regret. the earth could end tomarrow. The quot relates to my life because i tell this to myself all the time, if im afraid or somthing i just tell myself if you dont do this later youll be sorry.
The quote "The question is not weather we will die, but how will we live," by Joan Borysenko exsplians how life isn't saposed to be looked at as something completly black and white, where you live and then you die. It should hold color and be looked at as a gift, in which you should enjoy. In relation to 100 years, it definetly creates the feeling that you should enjoy every minuite you have. I can relate to this quote because i want to live my life to the fullest. I definetly dont want to look at all the bad things in life and just wiat to die, I want to exspirence life and all the good thing it hold for my future. Besides, why would i want to die? I only have so much time to do all the things i want to do in life. So, this quote relates to me in the way that shows how i want to live my life. To others, I think it shows them how not to think with blinders on.

This quote has a lot of similarities to the song 100 years. It means that if you lived a long and an enjoyable life then whehter you die doesnt matter. Its all about enjoying the life you have in front of you and forgetting all the insignificant aspects that may come along. Because, if you only focus on the flaws of your life then before you know it your 99 and have nothing good to look back on. This quote relates to my life in a huge way. I tend to always look ahead in the future, and im constantly worrying about how it will turn out. So this quote shows me that i need to live in the moment, instead of always looking in the future.
I think this quote is saying not to think about the end of our life, but to think about how you want to spend your life. If you want to live life to the fullest or not. Live your life the way you want it to be. This quote relates to me, makes me think bout my life more. Makes me think not to think bout the future and just live my life. Live it the way i want it to be and not worry bout the end of it. I think life is to short so you have to live it to the fullest everyday.

"The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live."
Joan Borysenko
In relation to 100 Years by Five For Fighting this quote basically has the same meaning. It means we shouldn't think about the future and how were going to die. Instead we should live in the now and live out our lives to the fullest. For me this comes naturally. Im always thinking about the now rather than the future, and I try my best to live it to the fullest. Though there are times where my mind drifts off into space and I think about the future as well as the present. Those are the only times I really think about the future though.

I think this quote means that you shouldn't just think about how your life will be when your older. you should think about now, and live your live how you want it to be. Dont let others control that, you can only control your self. This relates to my daily life because, when i was 15 i always said "i hate being 15 i feel so young." I'm always thinking about what life is gonna be like in a couple years from now. But really i should be just focousing on my life now. Lifes short, and i should take advantage of that.
If you are to read between the lines and break apart this quote it pretty much asks you what are you going to do with your life. In the first part stating, "The question is not whether we will die", i feel that the author is saying, you really cant question if you will die or not because in the long run, everyone dies. Though everyone will die, questions is how will we live. This part givs me the feeling that the author is asking you how will you live the life that you have.
So to sum up the quote, this quote is really asking, what exactly are you going to do with your life because knowing that you will eventually die, it is up to you how you will spend the life gaven to you.
Personally i live my life based off this quote pretty much. Since i know that i will be passing away eventually, and also knowing tht this time will always be different based on your decisions, i feel i need toi just live life to the fullest. I need to enjoy every second of it, show my love and spend as much time as i can witht he ones i love such as family and friends. With me, i feel the love part is my biggest but to make the ones i love and that love me proud is also very big. So for my love ones, i need to focus and do good in school and go to college and be the best i can be in everythng, giving it 110 % for the rest of my life.

I believe this quote means to live life to the fullest because you never know how long you have. Focusing on the future too much can damage the life and time you have right now. This quote is relative to everyone, but it relates to me in many ways. I am constantly telling my mom how i only have two more years until i move out and start my own life. To somone who is older, like my mom, they are probably wishing to go back to my age where there are no bills to pay. I still wish to be older, but maybe if i focus a little more on right now i will live my life to the fullest. This quote helped me realize this importance.
"The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live."
Joan Borysenko
I think that this quote is saying nobody remembers how you die, but what you did while u were alive. Many people stress over death and its not needed. It happens to everyone at a times thats ready. we should forget it and live in the moment and enjoy our time. People should go out and try to make a difference. In the end we remember people who impacted our lives. In conclusion be an impact player in the game of life.
In relation to the song 100 years, the quote, "the question is not whether we will die, but how we live," is very true. Everyone knows that someday their time will come to die, so they should go on and live life to the fullest. If you mope about all the bad things in life, you're going to miss out on all the good. I relate to this quote because i dont let the little things bother me. Unstead of focusing on the bad things, try to focus on the good things in the present, and in the future. When it comes to death, your life will seem much more lived if you do what makes you happy when you lived it. Nobody want so die with regret, so they shouldnt let the bad things stop them from moving forward in life.

The quote "The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live."
by Joan Borysenko, I think means live your life, don’t worry about the end. People live to die, death in not avoidable. Instead of thinking of the end, we have to make the best of what we have and live with no regrets.Embrace life.
The song 100 years and this quote are pretty similar, they both have the meaning of live your life. I think that this quote means that you shouldn't worry how you will die, you should be more worried about how you are going to live your life to the fullest as much as you can. I agree with this quote very much. People always worry about dying, the truth is that its going to happy so you should just forget about it and have fun with the time you have left. My grandma was diagnoised with lukemea and ever since then you can tell shes starting to live each day to the fullest more. She doesn't know how long she has, so she is living each day the way she wants to and doesn't worry about the little things. As for me personally, I try my best to just worry about having fun and not having any regrets. And I think thats how everyone should live their lives.

I believe that this quote means that the future is still so far away, and we shouldn't worry about what life years for now holds for us, we should focus on today, and how to make it last. Make every moment a year, and every day a century, just make everything last. How we live is one of the most important things in life, when your older you want to look back and say "Wow, I had such a great life!", you don't want to say "What was I doing? I could have done so much more." When I look back on my life, I want to remember all the laughs I shared with my friends, and the memories I shared with others. This quote relates to me by telling me to focus on right now, not anything else. I want focus on what I have waiting for me for the rest of the day. I always get so stressed thinking of all the things I have to do later, we all need to take it one day at a time. Now that we know we should live our lives, the next question is what are we going to do with it? The choice is yours, and we have a lifetime to figure it out.

In relation to the song, it means to live life to the fullest. We all know our lives will eventually end, and its up to you what you make of your life. You may not always be able to live in the moment, but thats part of life. If you can live each day like your last, your life will have more meaning. We shouldnt think about tommorow or the past, we should live in the present and appreciate each day. If you always have your mind on tommorow, you wont be able to appreciate today. Its up to ourselves to leave our own legacy when our time has gone and past, and our legacy has already begun. What mark you leave behind is how people will remember you.

I think the quote means that you shouldnt focus on the end of your life, but we should focus on the way we want to live our lives. This quote relates to my life in a couple diffrent ways. The first way is that i spend alot of time thinking of my future, not that it is a bad thing just i should spend more time thinking of whats happening today. this qoute send the message live in the moment notdont worry.
I hate blogs.
The quote "the question is not weather we will die, but how we will live" by Joan Borysenko is related to the song 100 years. It is because the quote, like the song is trying to get the message across to you that life will go by fast so you have to make the most out of the time you have. They are related because in the 100 years song the message is that you don't know how long you will. live, 15 years or 100 years, it doesn't matter, what matters is what you do with your life in those certain amount of years you live. This quote can relate to my life because it reminds me to slow things down and to make the most of my life. I think this because it life already goes by fast by itself, theres is any need to make it go even faster. That just leaves one less thing to worry about. When you don't worry so much about your future that will leave you more time to have fun and get the most out of your life.

To me, this quote by Joan Borysenko says to not worry about when you are going to die, but instead focus on how you are living right now. If you are worried about the future, then you aren't able to enjoy the present. This quote relates to me because I often get caught up in the future instead of living in the present. I worry about what is going to happen, or get caught up in insignificant things. Sometimes while I am caught up in other things, I ignore people, and soon I will regret not spending time with them when they are no longer in my life. While I am doing this, my life is passing me by, and I can never get that time back. It relates with the song, 100 years, because the band is sending out the same message, to live life fully. I will have enough time to worry about what is happening in the future when it is actually happening. I cant choose when I am going to die, but I can choose how I live my life while I am alive.
To me the qoute "The question is not weather we will die, but how we will live," means that to many people wallow in the bad things that could happen. In reality it would be far more benificial to think about your goals for tomorrow. Why worry about something, like dying, if we have no control over it. But we do have control over possitive thinking and our hopes for the future. As a junoir in high school this quote relates to me becuase i shouldnt be focusing on something i cant control, in stead i should be focusing on my future and what i want to do with my life.
This quote can mean many different things. What i think it means you cant waste your life thinking about how your gonna die. There could be many answers to that. You should live you life day my day. You cant play it out day by day. Something is always gonna change. Focus on now, the day you are living. Have fun, but dont make mistakes. There will always be a second chance. Fix everything you can.
To me, the quote is telling you not to live your whole life in fear because you know your going to die someday. Get out there and LIVEEE! For me this means dont hold back in my everyday life, because I never know if today is my last. Live to the fullest because death is inevitable and dont let that scare you from letting you do the things that you want to. Also this relates to what the song is saying about living in the moment. Dont worry about what is to come in your life, just take it as it comes and live in the moment. For me this quote is also a wake up call telling me, yeah tomorrow could be my last day, so dont let that hold me back. I also remember always saying when I was younger that I wanted to grow up and be in high school like my brother and stuff, but this quote makes me realize that I really like being young, and dont want to grow up too fast.
I beleive that the quote, "The question is not whether we will die, but how we live", means that we all know we will die so how do we want to be remembered, how do we want to live. Personally, I could care less how people remembered me. After I am dead, it wont really matter what people think about me. I will be dead. What do I care at that point. However, that does not mean that I want to live a boring life. I want to have fun while I am here. Do things that scare me, just so I can say I did them. I dont want to live a boring life, so that when I am 80 I can look back and see just how little I did. This quote is just another great example of living your life to the fullest. Which is exactly what I am going to do with my life. For example, I played like shit today, but tomorrow I am going to go out to practice with a new day, and a new mindset. Im not going to dwell on the fact that I played like a ten year old. Im going to move on and fix it tomorrow. Dont dwell on the pst, but dont forget about it either, because the moment you do, history will repeat itself.
The song 100 years absolutely relates to the quote, "The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live," by Joan Borysenko. I think that this quote means you shouldnt worry about how long until you will die, it means that if you want your life to be great you have to live it to the way you want it to be lived. This quotes helps me realize that i need to stop worrying about the future and focus on what is happening right now. This quote also showed me that you need to make your life fun and enjoying, and not let life just pass you by. Life is too precious to live in the future and not pay attention to what is happening around us.

The quote "The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live."by Joan Borysenko relates a lot to the song 100 years. I think this quote means that you shouldn't worry about what happens in life, just have fun. And how we shouldnt spend our life knowing that we can die at anytime, but just let that go and have as much fun as we can as possible. This relates to me alot. I usually always end up thinking about where, or what im going to be doing late on in life. This quote makes me realize that i shouldn't have to worry about that until im actually there.

"The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live." I think this quote means that we need to focus on the things happening now and not live in the future. Everyone is going to dies eventually and we shouldn't really be concerned about it right now. I mean, being prepared for the future is important but living in it or wasting time being afraid of it isn't really good. People need to live every day to its fullest because it could be their last. A lot of people are really scared to get hurt or die and they hold back while they are living. Instead, they can be going out and experiencing new things. Something that goes with that is one of my favorite quotes is "Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening, love like you've never been hurt, and live like its heaven on Earth" by Mark Twain. This applies to me because I need to just have fun and live life better. I'm happy now but I can still work on not holding back.
The song 100 years realtes to the quote, "The question is not whether we will die, but how we live" by Joan boryenko. The quote is saying that no matter what we do we will die, but we have to live our life to the fullest. Since their is no changing death you should do whatever makes you happy. Which the song is saying live in the moment. It relates to me because I want to live my life to the fullest. Just live in the now, and worry about the future later.
I think the quote "The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live." by Joan Borysenko basically means live in the moment. We spend too much time worrying about our future and what life holds for us ahead. Its your life you should live it the way you want. Many people die with regrets, that wont be me. I believe everything happens for a reason, because you are in control of your life. I believe everyone should live life to the fullest so you dont miss out. This quote relates to my daily life in many ways. I want to live my life the way i want, with no regrets. Its not worth it to worry so much about your future when your living in today. We should make the best of today, and enjoy it while you can!(:
Death cannot be a question. it's inevitable, and one day it will catch up to us. How we live is a little more tricky. I don't exactly know how to answer it. i cant find the words to express the way to fulfill my life completely. because i know in ten years I'll be a different person, searching for different things. all i can focus on is the right now. and i think if right now, and each moment life presents to me, I live it to the fullest extent. And appreciate the things i have now, and if i keep moving forward doing the things i enjoy, the things that truly make me happy, I'll be proud of the life i lived.
In the song, 100 Years, the quote "The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live." relates to me because of several reasons. I have always been wondering what I was put on this earth for. Where will this life lead me? I have no doubt that this quote tells us to live in the NOW. Why should we look several years into the future? We need to live life as if it would end tomorrow. I want to be a "kind, helpful" person while I live. This is how I choose to live my life.
I think this is saying that people are so focused on how they are going to die then to live ur life to the fullest. If u are focust on how u will die ur whole life u will never go anywhere. If u don't worrie about it then u can live with no regrets and no doubts. For example, as a teenager I feel invicible. I feel like I can do anything. I don't even think about dying becuace it is so far away. You don't need to live ur life in fear of dying. All u need to do is live. Zack ruffin
I think this quote much like the song is saying to live life to the fullest. We all know at some time we will die. And if we spend all are life worrying about how or when we die we loose that time to be having fun and enjoying the simple things in life. I am not saying to be careless or reckless and die doing something stupid. I think you should step out side of your comfort level and make goals for yourself to accomplish. This quote makes me want to work hard every day and take nothing for granted. Often i think my life is so hard over little things. But i now realize that many people have it a lot worse then myself. So i want to appreciate my life and the small things that go along with it.

This quote is definatly related to the song, 100 years because it refers to how we life our lives in the time that we have. It means that no matter what, we will all die, but whats important is how we choose to live out our lives. It is important to live the best lives that we can so that we don't end up regreting things that we can't fix. This is the same message that is portreyed in 100 years, just in shorter terms. This relates to me because it is how i try to live my life, and i hope that when i get old, i dont look back and have alot of regrets. this quote reminds me that it is important to strive to do well and reach personal goals, and that it's improtant to be who you want to be. Overall, this quote is a great piece of advice on how to live, and it motivates me to reach for higher goals.
Inevitably we all die. It's not a question, it's fact. How we live on the other hand is obviously our choice. You can make something out of yourself, or not. Either way its totally up to you. To me it means get off your ass and do something. Lifes not about waiting around for something to be handed to you. I make my goals and set my standards, and work to achieve them.
The relationship between 100 years and the quote are very similar. This quote proves that we should worry about living life before dying. Make every day something to remember, and look forward to the next. I think about my future and how well it will turn out in the years to come. This quote makes me want to know what is ahead of me and how i will adjust to everyday life. I personally feel that peoples lives would be more positive if they worried about living everyday as their last. Live life as if it could end any day and leave death behind.
I Think the quote Very much ties into the song. The quote means to live life to the max. To not worry about the future, and just focus on the now. Because when you worry about the future you lose sight of the now, and the stress can build up so much that you feel like the weight of the world builds up on your shoulders and there is nothing you can do about it. This song has helped me learn to take advantage of every day and not worry about the kids that judge me.
I think the quote is saying that we should be remembered for what we do during our life, rather than the fact that we have passed. Its really telling you to live life to the fullest, and not let things pass you by. It relates to me because I tend to think too much about the future, and whats going to happen when I'm older, instead of focusing on now. I worry more about where I will end up in life, and if I'll end up happy, when I should be worrying about being happy now. You can't dwell on the past, and you can't worry too much about the future. You have to worry about now, and care about being happy and succeeding now. Most likely, if you succeed now, you will succeed later in life. You just have to live your life how you want to live it, and not concern yourself with the past and future.
I think this guote is saying that it is a fact that we will die one day so stop worrying about it and live your life. This quote definitaly relates to the song 100 years. It relates to it because in that song it is also telling you to live your life. What i learn from this quote is to not be thinking about what would happen if you do this or that and just do it. It also is saying that if you keep worrying then that's just what your going to do you whole life and you won't actually live it to it's fullest potential. It relates to me because i usually try not to worry to much.

I think that the quote from Joan Borysonko means that it doesn’t mater how long you live, but how you lived your life. I feel that you shouldn’t worry about when you are going to die. You want people to have good memories of you when it is your time. Like famous people that did great things during their time like Gorge Washington and Pope John Paul II are some examples. This quote relates to me everyday. I want to have good grades so that it will better me in the later years of my life. When I die I would like to have people know me as a good, smart person, and did helpful things.
This quote is basically saying that no matter what, you are destined to die. Everyone dies at one point and no one lives forever. However, thats not the main point. It is mainly saying that its not good to think about how or when you will die, but rather how you live your life. After I die, I want to be able to look back and not wish I had changed a thing. The quote's saying that it's the moments that take your breathe away are the ones that define you. Everyone should cherish their lives and these breathe taking moments when they happen. For me, I want to savor my young years, because once I grow up, I won't have as many friends and I wont be able to have all the fun that a young kid has.
First of all, I feel that this quote totally relates to the song 100 Years because they both have the same message: Live life to the fullest.
I think that this quote means to not think about the end(dying), but to think about the here and now; the present. It makes you think about everything in your life; what you did an hour ago, what you did five minutes ago. It makes you ask yourself the question were the five minutes just spent of my life worth it? Life to me is everything that you have. If you aren't living it fully, what is the point of it?
This quote relates to me entirely. It relates to my personal life and the things that are important to me(education). It allows me to look back on those times when I didn't try my hardest or made a wrong decision and learn from those experiences so that I may be able to live my life to its extent.
Life is a gift and it can be taken away in a second. As individuals we must realize how truly valuable our life is and take into consideration how we live it each and everyday.

The quote, "The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live," relates to the song 100 years very well. We all know that some day we will die. Just because we are going to die doesn't mean we should be extremely concerned with death. Instead, we should try to live like there is no tomorrow every day. We never know when we are going to die, so we need to make sure that we enjoy life while we still have it, but also make sure we are being smart about what we're doing. Since I'm a teenager, death isn't really on my mind much. I don't really think my time is limited, but when a couple of my brother's friends died this summer it showed me that we honestly don't know how much time we have and the people around us. I need to cherish the time I have with the people close to me, because I never know how much everyone has.

Everyone knows what there fate is in the end. Everyone knows that all our living and all the things that we do come to an end. However it is up to you on how you want to spend your life. Yes, you have people who spend all there time on what is going to happen when there gone. To me this quote means live in the now but also think about how you want to live in the now. Everything you do should be because you want to do it. Live your life how you want to, don't focus on the end. Focus on what is important now and you will be happy.
What I think the quote, "The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live," by Joan Borysenko, means in relation to the song 100 years, is that in the end everyone dies, so life is not worth worrying about death. It means that what is really important is living. People shouldn't worry so much about what happens after they die, otherwise they might miss out on what is currently going on. It is nearly impossible to live your life without regrets, but its not worth dwelling over them. Life is too short to be worrying so much about the future and and death its self. How this relates so me is that, I myself have spent large amounts of time contemplating death, and in the end it isn't worth the time. There is nothing anyone can do about dying. Its inevitable and a part of life. What we can actually do something about, is truly living your life, and that is worth the time.

Life isnt about worrying when you will die or how you will die. The purpose of life is no duh living. What you do with your life, who you have in your life, and how you live is what is most important. When you wonder about your death or worry, you potentially ruin your chances of life. You either live in fear, always being worried, or misery. You begin to stop doing things you normally would and it effects your every day life. Living to do what you want and accomplishing the things you want is more important than being paranoid.

The song 100 years has the exact same meaning as the quote. They both tell you that you must live life to the fullest. The quote says its not about when you die. There is no question that you may or may not die. It's a fact, you will eventually die. So instead of thinking about how you die, you should make sure you are living your life to the fullest because that is what you have the power to change. You can not change death, but you can change living. It's better to live a short, fullfilling life than a long, worthless life.

I think that this quote goes directly with the 100 years song. Sometimes we are so worried about dieing that we forget about living first. As i said yesterday we literaly have to cherish every moment we get. We get caught up in the little drama and conflicts that we forget to stop and enjoy life. I always think of my grandpa when someone says live to the fullest. He was a great man, who always had a smile on his face. I will never forget the stories that he passed on to me. I think the main point of the quote is just saying if we live life to the fullest and have fun dieing wont be so bad. If youre life is complete i think anyone can accept death.

I believe that Joan Borysenko's quote "The question is not whether we will die, but how will we live" can be interpreted in a many different ways according to one's self. Personally, I think that the quote is basically saying that yes eventually everyone will die, but that should not be a person's main focus. Instead how one chooses to live their life and hopefully living as if there was no tomorrow is the main message in this quote. Joan is encouraging us to follow our dreams, set high goals for ourselves and try to live life to the absolute fullest, which is similar to the main points of the song 100 Years from earlier. I find that the way I try to live my life, relates almost directly to this quote. Most of the time, I choose to live my life by looking at the positive side of things and trying my best to live with no regrets. Life is way too short and tomorrow is not guaranteed as Joan Borysenko's quote displays.

this quote definantly relates to the song 100 years because we all know we are going to die, but thinking about it only blocks your focus on living your life. To me this quote means that if u look back on yourself, your wasting time because those are years you will never get back. If you just worry about the life in front of you, you wont be be ashamed of the life you lived.
I think the song relates to the quote. They both talk about living life to the fullest before you die. I thik the quote means to not focus on when and how you die, but when and how you live. Live your life to the fullest, the way you want to live. The quote relates to me because I need to live my life and not try to take everything so seriously. I shouldn't worry to much about the future and just stay focused on what I am doing now.
this quote definantly relates to the song 100 years because we all know we are going to die, but thinking about it only blocks your focus on living your life. To me this quote means that if u look back on yourself, your wasting time because those are years you will never get back. If you just worry about the life in front of you, you wont be be ashamed of the life you lived. The song 100 years sends the message that if you dont live life to the fullest, you will be looking back wishing you could change what u did. but the quote means that you cant choose how you die, but you can choose how you live.
I think the quote means to not worry about when you will die but how you want to live your life now. To not think abut the end and focus on the present. This relates to me because thats how i want to live my life to be happy where i am now and make the best out of it.
To me this quote is referring that you can only live your life once, you don't get a second chance. You only get one life so live it to the fullest. Everyday I try to live my life to the fullest. I don't want to live my life consetly thinking what could've been. I take chances, yeah it occaationly it gets you in trouble but why live your life always walking on your tippy toes, walk out of the box sometime... you'll enjoy it.

The quote by Joan Borysenko is related to the song 100 Years. I beleive that the quote means that everyone dies eventually whether it be tomorrow or in sixty years, so people need to stop being so worried about when they will die and start living their lives the way they dream to. I think the quote definately relates to me because ive still got so much life to live, and im only sixteen once, so i should enjoy my youth and slow down and worry about things when they happen. It is always great to be prepared for things, but its never great to obsess over things, and stress over things that wont even happen for another two - three years. The quote also made me think that instead of just letting life fly by me, that I should enjoy every moment. The quote made me believe that every moment is not a right, but a privledge. It made me think I should concentrate on whats happing in the present, and not whats going to happen in the future as much.
