Module 5: HUMAN PERSON’S ULTIMATE END-AUTHENTIC HAPPINESS!

QUAESTIO
ACTIVITY 1: COLOR MY HAPPINESS

One's concept of happiness vary from people to people, yet the essence of it remains the
same. One would express one's happiness different from the other, but they are common to
their longing of happiness. At this point, illustrate your own understanding of happiness
using lines, colors, symbols and the like. Describe what you think of happiness through the
simplicity or complexity of your drawing. Then write a short explanation of your drawing (not
more than 5 sentences). Give a title to your illustration (based on your own idea of
happiness).
s).
Short explanation of your drawing below:

My drawing of happiness includes a sunflower with a background of diagonal yellow lines

with alternating thickness. I used sunflower because it symbolizes happiness and love,
specifically for myself, my family and to the Lord, and I want to surround myself with
positivity and optimism, just like how the sunflower follows the sun. The diagonal lines
moving upward represents my resilience, that whenever I am down or in a stressful situation, I
always find happiness and optimism and it also is like a staircase to happiness. The overall
yellow theme of my drawing, again, because it symbolizes and looks very happy, and it
radiates so much positivity and optimism.

Process Question:

Have you experienced happiness? How is the feeling of happiness?

Yes, I have already experienced happiness many times in my life. Whenever I get happy, I feel like I am
floating high in the sky, like there is no heavy burden pulling on me. I feel very satisfied, content, fulfilled, and
light-hearted. For me, the feeling of happiness is something that makes me want to continue with my life and
makes me feel blessed for whatever or whenever makes me happy. Overall, happiness is all positive things.

For how long your happiest moment lasted (duration)?

Most of my happy moments typically last for about 1 to 5 minutes. This happiness includes something
like being happy because I accomplished something for the day or maybe something simple like receiving an
item or a delivery. However, the happiness that had a huge impact in my life are those happy moments that last
for more. These happy moments include traveling somewhere like the beach or Baguio city with the whole
family, or just having the whole family in the house together. These are happy moments of mine that typically
lasts for a day up to weeks.

What are the reasons why your happiness did not last long?
Well, in the first place, I believe that happiness is not something that last forever, at least while we’re
living. I think biologically, happiness is something that is constantly changing as we go on our lives. Sometimes
we get happy, and then sometimes we get sad or maybe stressed, and then happy again. Not everything that
happen in our lives would make us happy. There are also some sad moments in our life that we have to bear.
And this is all part of life, because in the real world, if we are to be only happy despite the bad things happening
around us, it would be unhealthy and not normal.
RESPONDEO

Module 6: THE ROAD TO AUTHENTIC HAPPINESS-THE BEATITUDES

QUAESTIO

The human desire for happiness is of divine origin-God planted it in the heart of the human person so that
he/she may seek Him and be united in His own beatitude. Yet, in everyday human experience, humans tend to
satisfy that longing for the fullness of life in the fleeting things of this earth. They would continually desire and
strive to achieve this longing for happiness, only to end up feeling empty and unsatisfied. How can, then, the
human person gradually come closer to the fullness of life one longs for? What should the human person do to
find his/her ultimate end-the purpose of the human existence? Please do the activity below to get you started.

Activity 1: Blessed am I
To consider oneself as blessed, in ordinary language means that one has received something that will bring
contentment and joy to one's life. To be blessed would mean to be gifted. Hence, a blessed person is always full
of GRATITUDE. Are you blessed? Enumerate below the reasons for you to consider yourself as gifted. Stamp
it with an appropriate emoticon to show how grateful you are for those gifts.

Why I Consider Myself as Gifted:

I am alive and healthy 🏋️ I am loved and I can love 💕
I have a loving family 👪 I can help other people 🤝
I can go to school 📚 I am resilient 💪
I have a shelter to live on 🏠 I am observant 🧐
I have clothes I can wear 👕 I am creative 🎨
I get to eat healthy foods every day 🏠 I am dedicated 🙌
I have access to proper healthcare ‍⚕️ I am hardworking 👷
I have good work ethics ‍💻 I will never quit 😤
PROCESS QUESTIONS:

1. What do you feel as you scan your life for blessings received?

= After scanning my life for all the blessings that I received, I couldn’t help but feel absolutely blessed and
thankful for all these things that I have right now. I am beyond thankful for God has given me all these things in
life no matter how small or big, and I am thankful for my parents for giving me a life with all these blessings,
and for teaching us to give thanks for all the blessings we receive and to always share our blessings with other
people.

2. How do you respond to blessings? How is your life affected by these blessings?

= I can say that I have many blessings in life, and with all these blessings, big or small, I never use those
blessings without giving a single thanks. I don’t take these blessings for granted and I accept it whole-heartedly
while giving thanks to God and to the people who gave it to me. My parents taught me to appreciate even the
small blessings in life, and now that we have so many blessings in life, I always say thanks and never waste or
take any of these blessings in life for granted. I always cherish these blessings and share it with other people
too, because that is how I was taught, and that is one of my principles in life too.

3. What do you wish for in your life?

= What do I wish for in life? Well, I wish that people appreciate even the smallest blessings in our lives. With
the current society that we have, almost everyone wants everything good, expensive, new, and all things
materialistic, they never get satisfied in life because all they think about is what they don’t have but they never
look at the blessings that they already have. So, I wish people learn to appreciate and be thankful to God for
what blessings they already have, instead of thinking all the things that they do not have.

MODULE 7: TRAVERSING THE PATH TO HOLLINESS

OBJECTIO
Activity 2: I am response-able...

One sign of the human person's maturity is one person's ability to own his action, and therefore respond to the
situation created by it in accordance to who he/she really is. One's action is one's responsibility, and therefore
must respond to the consequences of such action. At this juncture, make a short statement (3-5 sentences only)
of your whole hearted acceptance of the kind of person you are now, both good and not so good, and that you
take full responsibility of your course of actions in the past and now, and why you would take the responsibility.

I whole-heartedly accept who I really am right now and I take full responsibility of all the actions that I have
done and will be doing today. I will also take full responsibility for my actions because I believe I am now
capable of understanding what actions and words that I say are right and what is not. I am already mature
enough and that is why I would always think twice before even doing or saying anything in order to avoid
causing any harm or trouble.

PROCESS QUESTIONS:

1. How do you feel doing this activity? Why?

= After this activity, I feel quite anxious because I know I already have much bigger responsibilities right now
as a young adult and I think there will be more as I move towards in life. That is why, I am now exercising how
to make actions properly, to always think before doing it, and to take full responsibility for every action I will
do.

2. Do you fully believe that you’re 100% responsible for the kind of person you are now? Why?
= No, I do not believe that I am 100% responsible for the kind of person I am now. I do believe however, that a
big part of who I am right now is because of me. I don’t believe it because there are still a lot of reasons that
molded me into who I am right now. I chose to be this way because of those external factors and I accept who I
really am right now. Back then, I was bullied, so what I had to do was to be strong. I never wanted to be bullied,
I never wanted to be strong because of that experience either, however, over time I adapted to become strong
and to never let anyone bring me down. I may not be fully responsible for me being strong because of that
experience, but it whispered to me a responsibility to help other people who are also being bullied just like me.

RESPONDEO

 Knowing the nature of the human acts, its constituents, and its morality, one must take a second look, a
closer inspection of ones personal life. How near or far are you from fulfilling the good of the human
person? What plan of action are you thinking after realizing and internalizing these things? At this point,
please make a brief action plan in our life as a response to what you have learned.
 The NEXT Thing I am Going to DO

I believe I am not that far away from fulfilling the good of the human person. First, I will never make
bad intentions in order to bring other people down. To be honest, I never do this. Second, even
though my intentions were good, I want to make sure how I will be performing my actions the good
way. I will remember that all of my actions will be my responsibility. Third, I will think thoroughly
first what could happen if I have done a certain action. I will ask myself: will it be beneficial? will it
bring any good? will it bring harm? or will it cause trouble? I always ask those things to myself first
before doing anything or saying anything because even though I may think that my action will bring
good, it might be different from when my action was done so I must think first. Understanding that
all our actions will result in counter actions or consequences, I always have to keep those things in
mind.
