My Facebook Timeline. I love it! <3

“Life isn’t worth living, unless it is lived for someone else.”

What makes life worth living? Is it the feelings you get and have? Is it the experiences, the people you share them with? Is it the childlike desire to learn and be creative that drives you forward? Is it the knowing you have a purpose, contribution and mission that move you? Do you hope in something in the future that will happen? Is it a religious belief that inspires you?

People have different perspectives on how is life worth living. For me, there are many things that make my life worth living. Life offers many challenges but through the love that I receive from my family and friends, I become strong enough to face them. Love that I can receive as I live is what makes my life worth living. The opportunity to receive and share it to others really makes my life worth living. Happy moments that I spend with my loved ones also make my life worth living. They help me create good memories as I continuously live. Another one is the chance to improve myself as an individual and to have a purpose on other’s life.

As I explore my potentialities, it’s worth living to have an impact on other’s life. It’s like knowing that if I leave this world, I’ll be remembered by those people which I have left an impact. And life is worth living because it lets us experience failures and attain success. Failures strengthen us to face the struggles and obstacles that we will encounter while success makes room for more improvement to be an individual worthy to be called as successful.

 What makes life worth living is rising above obstacles and becoming yourself, following your heart and learning to be in the flow. I don’t believe we are meant to suffer. I don’t think being human is natural to our spiritual essences… but I do think the source wants us to ask, to seek and to find what we need to alleviate our own as well as others suffering too. It is also finding answers to my own deep yearnings and getting to the bottom of why I am in this particular human experience and why my soul chooses to dance with other souls. I will probably never get to the bottom of it all, but I think the journey is so worth finding the ever unfolding evolution of my soul.

 Life that I have now is worth living. I was given the chance to experience many things. I was also given the time to be with people who completes me as an individual. Enjoying life to the fullest along with my loved ones makes my life worth living. To be able to live with people who I have a purpose and to experience being loved by them makes my life worth living. Life full of mysteries is worth living although time is too short to enjoy it, as long as our family and friends are there to add colours to our life.

“To know yourself is your first priority.”

I do believe that I know myself better than anyone in this world. But sometimes, I feel that I am a stranger to myself. Why? It is because I am not that courageous enough to travel the path within to achieve a better self-understanding. I believe that for me to have a well-lived life, it is important to really know myself.

  Within me is that little voice that tells me what I should really do. Mostly, I ignore the voice. I should learn to listen to the voice, to understand it. I should learn to trust my instincts. I should learn to love and like and accept myself, as I am, without judgment. I should recognize that I have always done the best that I could, that every decision I ever made was made based on my own understanding, at the time, of what was best for me. It was only subsequent events that demonstrated my original decisions might have been different. So, I have never really made a mistake… it was only after the fact that I decided my prior conduct had been wrong. That’s classical “Monday-morning quarterbacking”. I should center and ground myself every day. Meditate. I should learn to truly listen to others. I should learn that my reactions to others are really a projection of my own. When I see someone I dislike, I should examine myself first to find that within me are the same disliked qualities or personal tendencies that others might also hate about me. I should learn to forgive myself for those judgments I have made against myself. I should accept myself without judgment. If I can do all this, I will be able to accept the world; I will feel comfortable with the world. I will lead a life of comfort, free of anger, free of resentment, free of distrust, free of all those nagging thoughts and ideas that drain my energy. My health will be good, I will honor my body and take care of it, I will honor my mind and take care of it and my spirit will thrive. If I could sum up in one word, it would be ACCEPTANCE. If I can accept the universe and what it brings to me, I should accept it without judgment, recognizing that what I am experiencing is truly a projection of my own, I will have come to know myself and the universe.

  Knowing myself as a person is a lifetime work in progress. For a long time I try to be whoever it is others expect/want me to be. In time, if I am that lucky, I will reject all of that and decide for myself what makes me happy, what resonates with me, what makes sense to me. When I get to that point, I will just relax, embrace it and then I am ready to go out into the world and do things for others, because I don’t have to focus on myself any longer.

"My friends asked me,”Mahal mo pa ba?” Then i replied, “Sobra…” They asked me again, “Bakit hindi mo ipaglaban?” I just whispered, “Masaya na siya, guguluhin ko pa ba?"
