In this post we discuss the difference between 人生 and 生活 when they are nouns. In English, we use only one word "life" to translate both these two words.
生活 (life): a particular type or aspect of people's existence. (synonyms: way of life, lifestyle, situation, fate, lot)
E.g. 我不想过这种生活了。I don't want to live this type of life.
人生 (life): the period between the birth and death of a living thing, especially a human being (synonyms: lifetime, life span, days, time on earth, existence)
E.g. 他人生的最后9个月 the last nine months of his life

辈子, 日子, 生命 and 生活 are different in their meanings:
辈子: one's whole life, lifetime as a whole -- Here life refers to "the period between the birth and death of a human being."
生命: life -- Here, "life" as in two different meanings: No. 1-"the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter" and No. 2-"the existence of an individual human being or animal."
生活: life. -- once again this refers to "the period between the birth and death of a human being."
日子: day, date; life, livelihood (spoken Chinese). -- The second meaning is very similar to 生活, however it's less formal than 生活 and is used a lot in spoken Chinese.

A sentence using the word "生活" (shēnghuó) could be: "我喜欢我的生活" (wǒ xǐhuan wǒ de shēnghuó), which translates to "I like my life". This sentence emphasizes the importance of life and how it should be appreciated.

In everyday conversation, the word "生活" (shēnghuó) is used to refer to life in general, or to the daily activities of living. For example, one might say "我的生活很忙碌" (wǒ de shēnghuó hěn mánglù) to express that their life is very busy. It can also be used to refer to the lifestyle of a particular person or group, such as "他们的生活很简单" (tāmen de shēnghuó hěn jiǎndān) to express that their lifestyle is very simple.
