In my own Opinion (STRESS on Opinion)

Life is Not easy. This we all know.  But the only thing that keeps Me going, 
is the fact that I know I have a limited time on this planet.  And not 
knowing HOW long that is, makes me want to accomplish everything I can.

If someone were to tell me I would live forever, I would probably become the 
worst procrastinator of all time.  Take a decade vacation.  "I'll clean the 
house in about oh, 5 years or so. No hurry! I'll be here awhile!" Etc.
