Another approach to this realization is to think about "my life" vs. "life".

None of us "has" a life. Full stop. Nobody possesses anything that can be called "a life". Instead, we spend some period of time in touch with this same stuff that all of our neighbors plus we comprise. We are witnesses and contributors to Life itself, and none of us exists except as a portion of that whole. We all nudge it this way and that, but while we come and go, the process continues. The process is the cool part.
