1. For me, living a meaningful life means being real, being true to ourselves, being humble,
being kind to yourself and others and having goals to work on . A life where you don’t
need to pretend to be someone you are not. Where you let other people see the real
you. Sometimes we are also the reason why we feel miserable. We are stuck in the
thought that “ they won’t accept me if I won’t pretend to be someone else”. Living a
meaningful life is living a life being real and true.
Humble, yes, life won’t be meaningful if you’re so proud with what you achieve or what
you have, celebrate and enjoy your achievements in silent, that would be better. Being
kind to yourself and others is also a factor that contributes to making life meaningful as it
makes peace within ourselves and other people, no arguments, no fights. A life without
a goal is also not worth living so make a list of your goals in life and achieve all of it one
by one.

2. It’s to reflect on what we need to do and what is not and also identify the goals I want to
achieve in life. I already have my goals in life and I already achieved some of it but there
is still more to work on. If I already achieved all my goals in life then I can say that I
already achieved a meaningful life.
DISCUSS
3. Yes, suffering is worthwhile. Why would God allow us to experience suffering if it is just
for nothing, if it’s not worthy? Like what is written in Bible (And the God of all grace,
who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will
himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast). God makes us suffer to
helps us become stronger so we won’t easily stumble when we are faced in harder
situations. Suffering doesn’t mean God is punishing us, but it is His way on helping us to
grow. It’s like a training, that helps us improve more so we could have a better attitude
towards life and other people. And another, living this life without suffering is not worth
living.
