In my life vs On my life

Both "in my life" and "on my life" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "In my life" is used to refer to experiences or events that have occurred during one's lifetime. Meanwhile, "on my life" is used to emphasize the truthfulness or sincerity of a statement, such as "I swear on my life that this really happened".
