“Life is long if you know how to use it.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
If you spend your time wisely and do things that matter to you, life feels richer and more fulfilling. Imagine two people: one spends all their time on the couch watching TV, while the other learns new skills, travels, and builds strong relationships. Even though they live the same number of years, the second person feels like they had more life. It's like filling a jar with rocks first and then adding sand; the rocks are the important actions and experiences, the sand is the little, less important things. If you focus on the rocks, your jar/life feels full. So, make the most of your time by doing what you love and what will make you proud looking back.
