life journey
One's unfolding path
Life journey is the path or progression of a person's experiences from birth to death, often invoked when reflecting on personal growth, challenges overcome, or lessons learned.
The phrase frames existence as a voyage with meaningful stages rather than random events: Looking back on my life journey, I see how each setback shaped who I became.
It appears frequently in self-help contexts and memorial tributes.
