“What gives meaning to your Life and how do you give meaning to your Life”
Life is a long journey filled with more experience’s emotions and opportunities. It is a
gift that should be cherished and appreciated. Every day brings us new challenges and triumphs.
Life teaches us to be more resilient in the face of problems and struggles. Life reminds us that
every challenge that we encounter there is an opportunity for growth and every failure that we
commit it is a stepping stone towards success. Life is the way of relationship, we formed
connections with our family friends, and those strangers that come in our life, these connections
enrich our lives to be more productive and gives us compassion and support from our loved ones.
The support of the family during difficult times provides us comfort and strength, while the joy
and the happy memories that we cherished give us laughter and create long-lasting memories. In
the journey of life, the challenge that we encountered is inevitable, but this is an opportunity for
us to grow and also self-discovery. So, let us embrace challenges and set meaningful goals to
make the most of our time on this beautiful journey called life.
Moreover, the one that gives meaning to my life is the support of my family. Some young
people need the support of their family but they did not have a chance to encounter this kind of
opportunity, because today the most difficult challenge for every child is some of their parents
are not responsible for the needs of their child. So that I am very thankful that I have this family
even though we are not rich, my parents provide what I need, the basic needs that I needed we
studied and learned since elementary and high school and now I am here in college but the
support of my parents continue because they believe that someday I am the one who gives them
a beautiful future. Life is very meaningful if we should know how to value it, the experience that
I’ve encountered in everyday life here in the seminary gives me a strong motivation to continue
and to pursue my studies, everything is possible whether it is difficult or easy but always look at
your main goal the main purpose of your life it is continually nurture the basic knowledge that
you had, valuing the experience. The meaning of life is that you need to go out of your comfort
zone and think that you are always been there, but if you are willing to know what is the meaning
of life, you need to interact with the world, socialize with people, familiarize the different
cultures they had and learned to those experience and we will realize the value of life.
Also, I have many weaknesses in life, but every person is a mix of good and bad
qualities. I am an ambitious person and a dreamer. My dream someday is to become a priest,
because the priest is a big motivator and guide. I would like to motivate people and guide them
to get closer to God for the common good of society. People today strive for power and
superiority there are times when some people became a slave to money, power, wealth, and
authority. For them, life has no meaning because the most important in life are wealth, money,
and power and that’s what their world revolves. The government today is very important in our
society, the government is also responsible for the well-being of its citizens but if we see the
status of our government some of the leaders are corrupt. People today that belong to a society
some of them are homeless, lack of food, no clean water. The life that they had right now is
difficult, they don’t deserve this kind of life if the government is working for the common good
of society it will overcome hunger and poverty.
In conclusion, life is full of experiences. Inspiration is the igniting spark that can help us
to achieve our dream, our goals, and whatever we want in our life. In every moment of our life,
we meet different people and face different situations. In this world, we not only get to know
different people, but we also get to know ourselves in different ways. As we grow in this world
always look at the beautiful meaning of our life. Our perception and outlook toward life, also
change with time and experience just always trust the process. I am very blessed to have a family
in my life they are the source of inspiration for me and my strength. Life teaches acceptance, one
must accept the truth that good times and bad times never last forever so one should be always
ready to face challenges and difficulties in our life even when we are at the top of the world.
Suffering, pain, and misery should also know that the time has come that all of these sufferings
and burdens will end and life will offer new opportunities to succeed. The meaning of life is very
beautiful when we accept every little thing and ignore those bad things that make us suffer. It is
our perspective that makes our life happy or miserable, it is our choice so one must positive
attitude toward life to make it happen and be worthy. Some people think that life is easy but they
did not know that life is full of challenges and difficulties all we need to do is to become positive
in life. One day, when we reach our dreams in life everyone will be satisfied with themselves
because we a achieved what we dream, and all those hardships and sacrifices will be replaced
with success and joy. The memories that we cherished each day, we keep that memory so that
our life is beautiful, everything is worth remembering from the beginning to the end journey of
our life.
