WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE MEANINGFUL ?
Lahat ng tao gusto laging masaya :) Ayaw naman natin na laging malungkot, right ? wala pa kasi ako nakikitang taong gustong lagi malungkot. abnormal na lang yun pag ganun XD ahahaha. Pero ang tanging tanong dyan eh What makes your LIFE MEANINGFUL? alam naman natin na ang pinakamahalaga sa ating lahat ay yung buhay natin, mababasa mo ba to kung d ka buhay ? pero anu-ano bang mga bagay ang nabibigay kahulugan sa atin ? naglista ako ng limang bagay na sinasabi ng tao na pag mayroon sila nito masaya na sila or it makes there life meaningful.
Una, PERA or RICHES
Kung may pera ka o mayaman ka, madali lang mabuhay. lahat ng gusto mo nabibili mo kung may pera ka. Marami ding nagsasabi na kung may pera ka hindi ka na mamomoblema sa buhay. Kung may pera ka man na kasing dami ng kay Janet Napoles sa tingin mo hindi ka magiging masaya ? kung ako may ganong pera napakasaya ko na. Kung marami ka pera at may kaaway ka masasabi mo rin sa kanila yung sinabi ni Anne Curtis na "I can buy you, your friends and this club" grabe napakayaman mo na ata para sabihin ang ganung bagay di ba po ? pero sabi sa BIBLE sa
Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
New International Version (NIV)
10 Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is TOO MEANINGLESS 11 As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owner except to feast his eyes on them? 12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of a rich man permits him no sleep.
Ang Ecclesiastes ay isa sa libro sa bible na sinulat ng isang napakatalinong hari sa buong history na si King Solomon. si King Solomon ay isang napakayaman at napakatalinong hari. Lahat ng gusto niya ay nakukuha niya agad. pero sabi sa verse na yan na ang mayaman na nagnanais pang yumaman at sa tingin niyang kulang pa ang kinikita niya ay napakawalang kahulugan. bakit ? dahil kung babasahin natin ang mga sumunod na verse na ang mga manggagawa kahit kaunti man o marami ang kinakain nila nakakatulog pa rin sila ng mahimbing ngunit ang mayaman ay hindi makatulog dahil sa kakaisip ng kanyang paggasta sa pera niya. Akala ko dati mahirap lang ang hindi makatulog sa gabi dahil sa mga gastusin sa kinabukasan. Ang pagmamahal sa kayaman ay walang kahulugan.
Ecclesiastes 6:1-2
New International Version (NIV)
6 I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind: 2 God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.
Pangalawa, YOUTH AND VIGOR
"Kabataan ang pag asa ng BAYAN"
maraming matatanda ang nagsasabi na ang kabataan ang pagasa ng bayan. sabi rin ng ibang matatanda na pagdating mo ng edad 40 pataas ay nagsisimula ng sumakit ang mga kasukasuhan nila kaya hinihiling nila na maging bata na lang habang buhay at sila ay magiging masaya na. marami tayong gustong gawin sa mundo kaya maraming naghahangad ng pagiging bata habang buhay. tinanong ko nga ang mga tao dito sa aming lugar na kung bibigyan sila ng pagkakataon or chance na baguhin ang buhay nila ano ang babaguhin nila ? marami ang nagsabi na wala na silang gustong baguhin kundi gusto lang nilang mabuhay ng matagal at maging bata na lang habang buhay pero sabi sa bible
Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
New International Version (NIV)
9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are MEANINGLESS.
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.
10 So then, banish anxiety from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are MEANINGLESS.
grabe talaga noh ? ang pagiging bata daw ay napakawalang kahulugan din kung hindi natin alam ang ginagawa natin habang tayo ay bata pa. Kung titignan mo ng mabuti yang verse na yan nakalagay dyan na binigyan tayo ng Panginoon natin ng kalayaan ngunit may kabayaraan lahat ng ating gagawin habang tayo ay bata pa. Kaya dapat ay mabuti sa paningin ng Diyos ang ginagawa natin upang hindi tayo magkaroon ng WALANG KAHULUGAN buhay.
Pangatlo, WORK
Maraming nagnanais na magkaroon ng trabaho. sinabi sa akin ng magulang ko dati na "anak, magaral ka ng mabuti para magkaroon ka ng magandang trabaho ahh" ewan ko lang din kung sinabi sa inyo ng magulang niyo yan ? Pero sabi ng iba na kung magkakatrabaho lang sila para may mapagkakaabalahan ay magiging masaya na sila. ngunit sabi sa
Ecclesiastes 4:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked,
“and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?”
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!
Ang pagkakaroon daw ng negosyo o trabaho ay isa ring walang kahulugan buhay ! grabe naman talaga ohh, siguro nagtataka ka na kung bakit maraming ayaw ipagawa sakin noh ? pero kung susundin mo ang bible or magbabasa ka ng bible sa tingin ko maiintindihan mo tong mga nakalagay na verse na to. Kahit magkaroon ka pa ng nakapagandang trabaho magiging walang kwenta pa rin ang buhay mo.
Pang-apat, PLEASURE
Ang tao gusto puro sarap na lang ang nararanasan sa buhay, kaya naimbento ang iba't ibang gadget para tayo ang magkaroon ng kaligayahan. pero sa huli magsasawa ka pa rin. sa verse na
Ecclesiastes 2:1
New International Version (NIV)
2 I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless.
Sabi ni King Solomon sa verse na yan na ang kasiyahan ay nakapa walang kahulugan din. kahit kumuha ka ng mga babaeng sumasayaw sa harap mo, oo masisiyahan ka pero habang tumatagal ay mafefeel mo na wala rin pala kwenta yun. Kahit kasama mo pa mga katropa mo at nagkakasiyahan kayo after nun at pagkauwi mo sa tingin mo may kulang pa rin sa buhay mo. Kahit magcomputer ka magdamag at gawin ang kung ano ano mafefeel mo na may kulang pa rin sa iyo. kaya sinabi na wala talagang kahulugan ang panandaliang kasiyahan.
And last but not the least
WISDOM
Marami nang sumikat dahil sa mga naimbento nilang gamit at sa angking talino ng tao. Sino kayang tao ang hindi nakakakilala kay Albert Einstein ? siguro hindi na tao yun kung hindi niya kilala si Einstein. Balik naman tayo kay King Solomon, Siya ang pinakamatalinong tao na nabuhay sa buong history. nakuha niya yung wisdom niya ng tanungin sya ng Lord kung anong gusto niya at pinili niya ang karunungan after syang bigyan ng wisdom ni Lord sinunod naman syang ibless financially at ginawang hari. Ngunit ng magkaroon na sya ng wisdom napasin din niya na wala rin palang kabuluhan ang pagkakaroon neto.
Ecclesiastes 1:18
New International Version (NIV)
18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief.
the more knowledge, the more grief.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF YOUR LIFE ?
EVERYTHING IS MEANINGLESS
Ecclesiastes 1:1-2
New International Version (NIV)
Everything Is Meaningless
1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
WHAT'S THE POINT ? if everything is meaningless
To have a meaningful life you must SURRENDER everything to God.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
New International Version (NIV)
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.

Sabi rin sa John 10:10 "Our God came for us to have an ABUNDANT LIFE"
I will Give some points to make your life MEANINGFUL :)
*Recognize that only God can give enjoyment
Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
New International Version (NIV)
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-14
New International Version (NIV)
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
*Reflect on life's event
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
New International Version (NIV)
18 This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. 19 Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. 20 They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.
*Entrust life in God's hands
Ecclesiastes 9:1
New International Version (NIV)
A Common Destiny for All
9 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them.
*Remember to live carefully before God
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
New International Version (NIV)
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
