“how do you vision your life after moshiach comes”

I think my vision of life after Moshiach is similar to how the Rambam perceives it. On a global scale, it would be vastly different. There would be world peace and universal recognition of God. The non-Jews will continue their lives observing the 7 Mitzvos Benei Noach, but they will still have politics and governments and things like that (I do not envision a new world order with a universal government centralized in Yerushalayim and led by the Melech Yisroel and the Sanhedrin… but who knows?).

On a personal level, other than Kohanim, Levi’im, and those living in Yerushalayim itself, our lives will be similar. We will still have similar halachos to what we have today (with the addition of tumah and taharah, aliyah laregel, and others), but we’ll still have to wake up for minyan, and balance working for a parnassah with Torah, and shalom bayis. The ultimate goal in life is not the coming of Mashiach, it’s to get closer to Hashem through Torah and Mitzvos. The coming of Mashiach may change the means to that end, but the goal will still be the same. We will still be trying to earn our place in Olam Habah even after Mashiach comes.
