The Weird One
A friend of mine asked me one of the best things I could ever heard, she asked me to write a book. Interesting , right ? Hmmm….
Actually not literally a novel but some write ups or articles that can help her realize something about life or everything.
It all started with one conversation that went deeper and deeper. On our conversation she asked me what’s my greatest fear, I really find it hard. So I changed the topic but she never forgot about it. She told me that her greatest fear is being alone in this world. I find it funny since I was thinking to myself that, it will never happen. She explained that she watched the movie 5th wave and she realized that. I told her that, that movie is boring .So that’s how it all started…
Then I said its my turn to ask question, you know what my question for her ? This question made her feel a bit crazy just like me when I first read those question myself when I was in High School. The question is , ” What is Life for You ? “. She said the question looks simple, but the answer is difficult.
What is life for you ? That’s the question I asked my friend.
When you answer that question it will reveal a lot of things related to you. About the things you care most and those things that are important to you. Its like a seed that soon to be a tree if it will be nurtured properly with care and guidance. This question can grow from root to trunks to branches to leaves to flower and soon will bear fruit.
If you say for example that life is game that you must win, you will always perceive things as a game that you need to be triumphant. Your decision will revolves there. You will try hard to win almost at everything. But if you see things as a mess you’re life will be a trash. It looks to me that this question will soon make you realize your life purpose, the reason why you’re here. The essence of your existence.
When I was in elementary and high school those are the questions I’m determined to find a concrete answer. ” Why am I here ? “, When I was young I’m not sure if I enjoyed it or not since I was a type of kid who thinks a lot of stuffs and is very curious about the world. And no one will ever stop me from finding answers to all my queries inside my head. But I don’t rush things for the answers they will pop up at the best time and most of times when you least expect it.
One my question before was ” Why am I here ? ” . I always wonder whats the reason of my existence. When I was a child I experienced some scenarios that are not so good but still managed to lived. But those are the moments that made me think if there’s a certain reason for my being. That was when I was in elementary days.
Like I said before answers will come at the moments you least expects them. I still have that questions in my mind when I started in my secondary level of education. You believe in timing and God’s time ? You must believe it , I’m telling you.
I had a classmate in high school who’s fond of reading books. One day, she brought a book at school and I’m not so sure how I came up reading that book. That is the book that helped me realize the purpose of my life. It helped me answer the questions, why am I living ? What’s the reason I’m still breathing everyday ? What’s my purpose here ?
One of the best thoughts I can still remember from that book is listed below :
– There’s a main reason why you are here. You might be thinking that you’re just an accident or your parents didn’t plan to have you in their life. Yes you might be right that they didn’t plan to have a baby like you but God did. Before we were conceived we were already planned to live here in God’s purpose.
After reading those phrases I was stuck reading that book. I just can’t help myself reading the book page by page. I’m not a religious type of person but every words I’m reading that day went straight directly to my heart. It’s an amazing feeling. Then I started thinking again the real purpose God wants me to fulfill here. I started to write the things I love doing and thinking how can I contribute to others by doing what I love.
You can start thinking what’s your purpose as well by asking these questions :
– What are the things you love doing or you’re passionate about?
– What are you skills and on what area you’re good at ?
– Using those skills and talents how can you contribute to the world ?
You must always think that God placed a seed in your heart that needs to grow. That seed needs to be nurtured everyday so that later on, it will grow as a great tree that will soon bear great fruits.
Right now , I can say that my journey of realizing my life’s purpose is just starting. I know someday in God’s right time the great seed implanted in me will be a great tree with great fruits. A glimpse of what my purpose in this world ? I have a notebook with the sentences below.
“I am a philanthropist. I will be a famous writer helping people realize the dreams they always dream about. I will educate people on how to be financially free with my financial & self help books. I will have my own foundation for named ” Juan Child, Juan Love “, its a sponsorship that in one family they will help one child whom they will be supporting til they finish their education. ”
I hope reading this article will help you find your way the purpose of your life. You can also read the book of Rick Warren ” Purpose Driven Life “. It will also help you a lot.
– Come on guys let’s live the life we always wanted to live ! May all your dreams come true.
