What is life all about?
It's about filling in time when your not having sex or stuffing your face with food.

Life is about discovering your limitations, and then through will, discipline and practice transcending them.

I read that as "not waking up to the cat".

There are also those limitations you can't transcend, so it's better to simply be mindful of them. Not everything is possible.
