Because I Love You

There have to be meanings for everything.  They are the main ingredients to make lives meaningful.  Having a sense of meaning brings fulfillment with purpose.  They make lives useful.  And, to make my life to be useful, I have to love my purpose.  I have to love all the best possible meanings for all my thoughts and actions.

Because I love my parents, for example, I will do whatever to make us happy a lifetime.  Because I love God, I ask Him to provide peace in my life.  Because I love life and I wish to find the how to make me happy.  Because I love you and I must live to be good at loving you.

There is nothing in the world I would not do because of love.  In the endless pursuit of happiness, happiness should not be the goal.  By itself, happiness does not give a full meaning to life.  It is merely a by-product of being useful.

What really makes me happy is when I can be useful, when I am useful.  When I can create something to bring meaning to myself and the world.  When I create usefulness to something and be a blessing to everything.  

Ralph Waldo Emerson, a philosopher, wrote 'The purpose of life is not to be happy.  It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well'.

I must ask myself what am I doing that is making a difference?  I do not have to change the world but I need to do the little useful things should I want to love life, to love myself and to love others.

Just like the love I am receiving from God; just like the love my parents nurtures in me and just like the love from the people that truly love me.  It is the usefulness, out of love, that makes me to love this life.

I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.

Circle In The Sand

Life.   What do I think of it?  What do I want out of it?  How do I want to live it?  What motivates me to live?  What truly drives me to succeed? Without knowing what life is and how I want it to be, life gets stagnant.  Worse, everything I do will be circle in the sand that goes round and round.  I am not allowing the light inside me to become brighter.  It is a disservice should I not let Life to grow to its full potential. My light has to guide me.  My intuition should be the legs to walk me.  My gratitude will be the golden key that opens all opportunities.  I have to take awareness seriously.  It is to realize on the consciousness towards my existence leading to a man’s search for meaning. Every day, I am faced with the never ending battle between what I feel and what I know.  There is a persistent stubborn voice of reason trying to fix what is not meant to be.  There is constant struggle against a heart that won’t let go. When I keep thinking I already know and I feel that I am

Stop Complaining

Should I am a good person, why is my life not perfect all the time?  Why am I not feeling peaceful indefinitely?  Why can’t I be happy constantly?  Why are there continuous recurring hiccups along the way?  What made these feelings fleeting? Getting old is one thing.  To get sick and weak, as age progresses, is natural.  But, while I am still not old old, why am I not having a steady balanced good health?  Why are my body and my health kept failing me? Have I pondered much about these questions?  Or, do I live in denial and insisted that I live with the good vibes the entire time?  Have I not wondered on my unpredictable fluctuating inner wealth?  Am I too arrogant to shrug off any indicative problematic signs on my belief system?  Does not my bad health or my anxiety teach me the life lesson? Who is right?  What is right?   Who is wrong?  What is wrong? So, here is my cry for help :   Should there be a human out there, who gossips about me and totally free of life problems, please pra

Learn To Value Yourself

Image
It was penned by one US President that ‘all men are created equal’. I do not have the wisdom to elaborate on it but that phrase, in itself, holds dear in my heart.  It makes sense to me.  It gives me the insight on how to live my life.  It gives me the assurance to hold sanity to my mind and soul. My success and my failure, in life, are my doing.  I have to take full responsibility and no one is to blame.  Blaming others for my mistakes only reflects on my shortcomings, my bad as a human.  It shows my inability to take charge on all my actions.  It reveals my poor, flimsy attitude and negative character. Should I succeed, or I fail, is because I am allowing it to happen.  It happens because I lose the sight that all Man is equal, that each human is born with equal potentials, with a pure soul.  In any of our imperfections, we are created equal.  When I acknowledge it, I will live a gracious life.  With such acceptance, I become socially aware and I will have positive impact upon mysel
