The same but with % of progress :

<Grid>
    <ProgressBar Name="pbLifePassed"

                 Maximum="100"
                 Margin="5" Height="24" Foreground="#FF62FF7F"/>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=pbLifePassed, Path=Value, StringFormat={}{0:0}%}" 
           HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
</Grid>
