Life is hard. Is it worth it? I know what makes it worth it for me. What makes it worth it for you?

I think my answer to this varies depending on whatever mood I happen to be in.

Do you mean that in such a way that, when you're having problems, life is worth living to fix them, and when life is good, it's worth living because of what is making it good, or something totally different altogether?

Worth it? Writing a tune that people like, that's worth all of it.

It was a serious question.

My music. My daughter. My wife. Amazement. Wonder. Knowledge.
Not necessarily in that order.

Something like that. When I'm happy, I'm just cheering on with a "it's good to be alive" attitude. When I get down, I tend to be more cynical but I don't lose sight of the fact that I can improve things if I choose to. For some time I've believed that the cure for depression is activity, and I actually listen to my own advice. Then it becomes a game to see if getting out and doing something productive actually makes me feel better, which in turn gives me purpose and pulls me out of being down. At the time, life has a different purpose for me than it does when I'm already happy. And of course there are a million in-betweens, but I'm just trying to illustrate a point. I hope I made sense.
In a simple answer, what's worth it is experiencing good feelings, learning things and overcoming obstacles, whether I chose those obstacles or not. I'm not trying to score points for some afterlife or have grand plans to change the world or something. It really comes down to personal fulfillment.
