Happiness by Darkangel

Every individual undergoes different stages of our lives, starting infant to toddler and childhood to teenage years. Well perhaps, I considered teenage years was one of the happiest chapter of my life moreover I learn to be physically, mentally, socially and emotionally developed. In like manner, happiness is what I've gain. Owing those memories from the persons of your life happiness is experienced. Being a teenager doesn’t mean that it is full of great things and good happenings in life. Many of us encountered different types of problems in different kind of situations. But for me, it’s just a part of my life, a challenge that I should overcome and a mission that I must accomplish.Doing all that things helps me to fulfill the empty space in my life and to get the happiness that I’ve been looking for.

Happiness is not gain through material things, position, power or success.Real happiness can be gain through acceptance and peace of mind. It is not a material reward, it is just a consequence. We become happy and contented with one work and life when we give happiness to others. If we will give a little love to them, it will all comes back to us. Happiness is something that cannot be bought even gold or silver, something we should praise of and something we must treasure. It is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure or joy.

Happiness is described as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities.There are numbers of attributes correlating to happiness such as relationships, social interactions, health, democratic freedom, optimism, religion or any involvement. It forms as a central theme and a state of ultimate freedom for suffering and everlasting peace which can only be achieved by overcoming craving in all forms. It is the end of human existence with God’s essence in the next life. Meanwhile some researchers found that fifty percent of ones happiness depends on ones genes and the remaining percentage is a combination of factors that are results of actions that individual engage for the purpose of being happy.

I think I should never let go of my dreams until I am ready to wake up and make it happen. Trials or chances in life are not meant to make us fall but to see how far wecan fly. Those chances won’t wait for us forever. If we will let everything pass us buy we will never find out how beautiful life can really be. We should not be afraid to get hurt because if we don’t risk something we will never gain anything. Happiness is the best memory that we can receive or achieve in our lives. Our life has so many great options but we don’t have to pick always what seems to be the best. We just have to pick whatever makes us really happy and it will be the best and the perfect choice. It’s easier to be happy if we can look beyond the imperfections rather than by trying to make everything perfect.

Freedom by hard2get

When you love someone, you love him as he is. I alone am perfect it is probably for that reason. That I know what perfection is. And that I demand less perfection of those poor people. I know how difficult it island how often, when they are struggling in their trials, how often do I wish and am I tempted to put my hand under their stomachs. In order to hold them up with my big hand. Just like a father teaching his son how to swim. In the current of the river. And who is divided between two ways of thinking. For on one hand, if he holds him up all the time and it he holds him up too much, The child will depend in this and will never learn how to swim. But if he doesn't hold him up just at the right moment. The child is bound to swallow more water than is healthy for him. In the same way, When I teach them how to swim amid their trials. I too am divided by two ways of thinking. Because if I am always holding them up, if I hold them up too often, they will never learn how to swim by themselves. But if I don't hold them up just at the right moment, perhaps those poor children will swallow more than is healthy for them. Such is the difficult, and it is a great one.

And such is the doubleness itself, the two faces of the problem. On the one hand, they must work out their salvation for themselves. That is the rule. It allows of no exception. Otherwise it would not be men. Now I want them to be manly, to be men, and to win by themselves. Theirspur of knighthood. On the other hand, they must not swallow more than is healthy for them, having made a dive into the ingratitude of sin. Such is the mystery of man's freedom say's God, and the mystery of my government towards him and towards his freedom. If I hold him up too much, he is no longer free. And if I don't hold him up sufficiently I am endangering his salvation. Two goods in a sense almost equally precious. For salvation is of infinite price. But what kind of salvation would a salvation be that was not free? What would you call it? We want that salvation to be acquired by him, Himself, man. To be procured by himself. To comes, in a sense from him. such is the secret;Such is the mystery of man's freedom. Such is the price we set on man's freedom. Because I myself am free, says God, and I have created man in my own image and likeness.

Such is the mystery, such the secret the price of all freedom. The freedom of that creature is the most beautiful reflection in this world of the creator's freedom. That is why we are so a proper price on it. A salvation that was not free, that did not come a free man could in any wise be attractive to us. What would it amount to? What would it means? What interest would such a salvation have to offer? Beatitude of slaves a salvation of slaves, a slavish beatitude, how do you expect me to be interested in that kind of thing? Does one care to be loved by slaves? If it were only a matter of proving my might is well enough that I am the Almighty. My might is manifest enough in all matter and in all events.

My might is manifest enough in the sands of the sea and in the stars of heaven. It is not questioned, it is known, and it is manifest enough in inanimate creation. It is manifest enough in the government, in the very event that is man. But in my creation which is endued with life, says God, I wanted something better, I wanted something more. Infinitely better. Infinitely more. For I wanted that freedom. I created that very freedom. There are several degrees to my throne. When you once have known what it is being loved freely, Submission no longer has any tasted. All the prostrations in the world are not worth the beautiful upright attitude of a free man as his kneels. All the submission, all the dejection in the world neither is nor equal in value to the soaring up point, the beautiful straight soaring up of one single invocation from a love that is free.

BEST THING THAT YOU'VE CHOOSE by Crusade

Thursday morning, I woke up in my bed at 7:30 am, I clean in every part of my body that I've wash for my self then I sat on dining room. I was thinking what am I do from school and it crash on my brain that this is the day we don't have College Algebra. I think I got home earlier because I thought that our last subject professor isn't attending for us, and my felling is decrease than I care everyday.

I was in a relax mood when I prepare and go to school. Because I belive my God is in my back, and I believe He won't let me go through evilness. I was in "jeep" at the earlier time of my class; it was 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon. In school I go to library, I read and I review the past lessons. But I was too tired to read and review I feel sleepy. After a few minutes my classmate came in library and he saw me too tired. He ask me "hey bro. did you finish our homework in College Algebra?" and I was shock on that sentence because I thought that our professor isn't attending, but he said "no! not thursday that is monday! You didn't here him? He didn't attend on monday because of his work." Then my blood pressure was too high! I think 200/120 pressure. I'm just joking. And I think to my self what am I do?

On that minute my will was turn on, and my will was fighting for my decision. It has a two choices that I'll do on that day, It's either I text my dad by using cellular phone to brought my book in school? Or I ignore that book because base on my hearth that it has a conciousness for my father. He has a lot of work in our house and my heart said "Don't you have a fear in your self, don't worry I guide you. Don't fear that thing because that is only a material, let you see your conciousness for your father that caring a heavy work on your house. And you said that God is in your back! He never let you go from evilness." Then I don't know what am I choose? And it crash again on my brain that "your mother has a 100% full support on your studies". I ask to my self that my mother spend much time, money and effort to build my study comfortable. Then I ask again to my self, what am I do?

And finnaly I choose to bring the book. I got my book and it is time of College Algebra subject, but sad to say that our professor didn't attend on that day. Its time to go home and of course I was very depressed to my decision. To the effort of my father and the worst of all I didn't trust my heart. And my heart speak to me "If you are in God don't worry to your family, God will save them from evilness because your faith is truly to God". I pray for God, and as you percent it, 50% I pray for God to happening in past hour. I said "God I'm so very sorry for the thing that I didn't expect. I'm sorry."

Finally at the end of that day, it has a moral lesson that I have learn, "In time of emergency or time that you don't realy expected the happening, ask deeply to your heart for whatis correct and specially trust God anything what happen on you, because if you are in God you are comfortable for any kind of step that you do. God is always in your back, He didn't let you go from the evilness." But if you understand deeply the two kinds that I have been choosing, it is the same correct. For example in the examination of values education, it has multiple choise that easy to understand but all of them are correct but there is one truly correct answer. At last a lesson was taken up on my self, my heart and specially God the Almighty of all, the only God in whole universe. God is love, Love is God

THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE by briannecruz03

We, people, are unexpectedly created by the God Almighty. We make mistakes and we do bad acts or things in our fellowmen. And in our lives, we can't avoid to have problems and different struggles and obstacles that make our life miserable.

I'm a kind of person who is silent, shy-type, coward and no confidence. sometimes, people around me notice that I'm a crazy one and unapproachable. What could really be the reason why am I like that? Problem. Right, it's problem. Financial problem, family problem, school problem, love problem, problem in friends, self problem...all kinds of problem! The big question is, how can I solve it? When the time my mind has been cleared, I remember a word, a word that can answer my question...HOPE.

Hope is a desire accompanied by expectations. If you have it, you have to be confidence that you will reach all the success and goals in your life. Don't let yourself be affected by the things that are happening around you. Always remember that "when there's life, there's always hope." We can lose our family, friends, loveones, and money but we can never lose...HOPE.

When there are times we failed in our tasks or jobs, we think that God left us behind sometimes. Most of the time, we just sit on a corner thinking of the best move or way to stand up. There are people who lost their strength and power to move and go on. Most of them thought that no one seemed to listen and help them. And we really feel the emptiness deep inside ourselves. We all know that confidence is important because it gives us courage to stand out. Dreams give us the will to pursue and love gives us the way of thanking the beloved God Almighty. But life itself is the only one whogives us HOPE.

love takes time by nozomi.hayashi

There's a right time for everything.. Time for fun, Time to study and Time for falling in love.. We, youths are too young to think about it. We should focus first on our studies.. According to my own experience, falling inlove at this moment was like a having what you want but you can't.. I, myself experience that feeling.. I felt like I'm in heaven, He's always there for me, saying sweet nothings, supporting each other.. We are almost a perfect couple, but it was not..

I realized that it was too early for me to think about it or too young to fall in love.. maybe God let me felt being hurt for me to realized that there's someone better than him and someone whom really meant for me.. if love is true, it will lasts.. if it's not true it will not..Love comes unexpectedly, and I'm sure that when that right time comes, I'm ready to give it all

Now, I'm very happy with my family and friends.. They make me feel so special and precious.. They make fall in life as well.. Know it's importance.. thank you for everything, supporting, guiding and comforting me when I'm on my emptiness.. I'm satisfied on the things happen in my life..

You, I would to thank you as well!! I know that you treat me as your princess, maybe it happen because where not yet ready for it or We are not really meant for each.. I hope that you'll be happy like me.. I know that you'll find that special Girl when your ready to face the consequences behind it and conquers it all..

love is a feeling that cannot be defeated if it is really meant for you.. and true love really waits.. It really waits.. Love takes time..

A journey to Surpass by Mis uni

Plants,animals ang human beings, these are the creation of god that mostly struggling in order for them to survive in daily quest of life. In a one snap of almighty’s hand life can be change and even you want to repel the fate of life, it’ just not working anymore. I defined life as the opportunity given to us by god to see the outer and innermost beauty of one of the creation of him, the Earth. And all of happening in us is properly planned by him.

Reminiscing my childhood days, when I’m not mature enough to know what is right to wrong. Questions are confusing my mind about life and easy challenges that I had encountered. And I can’t find the answers yet. In my childhood, playing dolls and houses is what I used to do. There’s no dull moments and tearful supplication. All I remember is the enjoyable things I do when I was a kid. But as I grow old, awakening the truth of life makes me wonder. What is our purpose in life? Why do people have difficult time planning-out their lives? Why there are some undergoing miserable life experiencing the grayest shade of life. Those are questions boggling my mind. As I look-out in our environment, I realized people in this world undergoing different aspects of life.

Some of them feel life as punishment and everything they do can never be good. It’s like they’re walking in a path where criticisms, insecurity, dumbness and loneliness lies, incapable them to succeed in daily task of life. They lost their direction and go as far as using drugs and committing suicide. But there are people who positively take life as a challenge. Sacrificing everything for their aim toward success. They believe that everything has a cause. People in all their busy lives are forgetting to enjoy their accomplishment in life. The reality is that in order to achieve balance in life, we must work at it.

Life and earth are related to each other. Our environment serve as mirror for us people need to observe what is happening around us. We don’t need to be affected by them but to change for the good to save our mother Earth and obtain our morality as a human, being a human and also a Pilipino, what l’m looking forward to my journey in life is to seek for my future and to change for a better me. To be happy, contented on what God’s plan for me. And to be the best that I can be so that my parents will be proud at me.

What Is The Reason Of Being Alive? by Black Butterfly

What is the reason of being alive? This is one of the few questions of a human. Why do we need to fight for the life? And do we need to be alive? Even being alive is so fun, enjoy and full of excitement, still many people commit suicide 'cause they surrendered on the battle of life. Eventhough, many people believe that everyone will die, still they fight for their life. So, I ask, what is the reason of being alive?

When my grandfather was in the hospital, I ask myself, "did he survived? Will the doctor can cure him? Will my grandfather play with me again?" But the doctor couldn't do anything to heal my grandfather. I know that my grandfather is in heaven now and still, here we are, fighting for our life even we will like to see him again.

God said, "if you follow My words, you will receive ever lasting life." This word give a chance or give a reason of their faith but why are there still many people died? Are we sure that if we leave that following God's words, we will receive an everlasting life? What could be the chances? And why do we still fighting for our life if we know that we will be in heaven and receive an ever lasting life?

Many people leave with different reasons and different ways. They are facing the trials, truth and reality but they don't know what could be their main goal in their lives. Many trials have come and have passed but still trials of life will never end. Many truth will be revealed but still there are so many secrets still unknown. Many are facing the reality but still many people want to escape from it. Again I ask, what is the reason of being alive?

When I look at the window, I saw a tree, standing strong, fighting the rain, the heat and even a strong storm. And I ask why is it still standing even it suffers from many trials that tried to knock it down? Are humans like trees? Fighting and standing for their lives? If a human is like a tree, human can be strong as a tree and still standing even there's so many trials come and trials to destroy him.

Even the reason of being alive is still unknown, maybe it could be good to not find the real meaning or answer of it. Maybe it's better to search for the true meaning of it by facing the life and not to escape it. Maybe the queston of what is the reason of being alive is better to be a question of being a human alive.

A Life Worth Living by anonymousdreamer

What makes life worth living? Is it popularity? power or influence? For me, to make our life worth living is to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Living with Christ and knowing or seeking Him is like when you are drowned, the more you need air to breath the more you need Jesus.

The 700 Club in QTV Channel 11 is a show to make our life worth living. A life story of the believers, its about the time that they are lost their life and found by Jesus Christ or How God moves in their Life. Some of the people gave their testimony, almost of them before are addict, drug Lord, killer and other bad habits. They wasted their lives of meaningless things. During they have nothing, that is the day that we seek God, like the story of the Prodigal son, the time that when his resources is gone and almost nothing he decided to be humble, go back to his Father and ask for forgiveness. When they experienced God’s forgiving grace and accept him as Savior they received a new life or transformation by simply opening their heart in faith to Jesus Christ. New life is surrendering our life to Christ. You won’t surrender to God unless you trust Him, but you cant trust him unless you know him better. That the promise of our Savior, the promise of new life, a life abundant and eternal.

To be a Christian you must be a follower of God, be humble and surrender oneself to God. To know that you have Christ in your life you have the fruit of the Spirit such as love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control against such there is no law. They have crucified their flesh with its passions and desire and walk with Christ. Some one says that no complete satisfaction. When you have Christ in your life you a complete satisfaction. As above normal person you are always happy but it doest mean that you have no problem. If you see if the normal person has a problem they are sad but if they don’t they are also sad. To be with Christ mean you have everything because his grace is sufficient and overflowing.
We are died with sin, Alive with Christ and cleansed by his blood. Now we know we are created because we are plan by God’s pleasure, all we can do is give the highest praise and worship only in his name.

Love and Friendship by Palsz

Love and Friendship met at the same road of life. Love asked Friendship “what is your purpose when I already exist?” friendship replied and said “I will put smile when you put tears”!

Throughout our life we get involve into different kind of relationship; other relationships are not forced upon us but we do not have full domination over love. Like if we fall in love with someone, we cannot choose whom we want to fall in love with; even though we have some ideal person we want to fall but love is really incomprehensible and unexpected.

Love plays a major role in our lives. Love serves as a distinct inspiration to every individual. Love exhibits its own purpose and meaning in different ways. There are love in friends, family and another person in our life. Like a mother’s love for her children is countless, that no expensive things can replaced. She will always stand on your side to defend and to protect you.

Another example of one great love is Friendship. Friendship is explained to be as warm mutual attachment by the quality of one’s heart and kindness. Friendship doesn’t by appearance but rather by the inner elegance and beauty. It has a sincere heart and an open mind to love and to respect. Friendship doesn’t measure by a person’s status in life, whether you are poor or rich. You can be friends because of the character you shared. It is true that we can choose friends unlike our families. But what kind of friends we chose is depending on our character. They say that friend brings out the best in us and human cannot live alone without friends. We consider some people to be friends, even though they are not that close but there are some points of situation that they need each other. A friend is not just a close companion. Friendship is about give and take, reaching and seeking help.

Love is not supposed to be always happy, don’t expect love to always make you feel good; but do expect it to make you grow as a mature individual. Don’t be tired to love, you deserve to try and find the one who deserve you’re love. The greatest love that you will find is the given gift from God, so give your heart and trust to God. Because you will achieve the true happiness in God’s will and that’s the true meaning of love: waiting and patience.

If you can’t give people happiness they want, just try to be nice to erase their sorrow; I guess that’s the essence of friendship. You can have many friends but it’s really hard to have true friends who can honestly say what’s wrong with you, even it will hurt you. True friends are also given gift from God to serve as an angel to guide you in the right path. It is more painful to loose a true friend because I know that it is hard to find a true companion. So I value my friends as I value myself.

True love can only be earned if you receive love and you know how to give love back. Friendship put smile in every faces, even life has so many problems to offer; you can make it with the help of sweet and extraordinary friends.

"At first impression you will say that I ‘am quiet, boring, and hard to deal with; but once you know me you will wish that I ‘am quiet. I ‘am moody but friendly, there are times that I just want to be alone. I am simple but expressive. I admire someone who knows how to play guitar. I love sports especially volleyball, I also love spicy food. I love my best friends and my family." -- Palsz

Life by Monick_momo14

There are lots of people enjoying life,there are lots who knows the meaning of life but few of them know the true meaning of life,then the rest doesn’t know it.We can still see people in the television who commit suicide,people who don’t care about the life that God gave them. Incidents happen because of carelessness,and many other stuffs, this things do happen because of the people involved,they do such crime,where in fact they commit sins through this, they kill human beings,where in all lives in this place were given by God as a gift from Him.

I keep on asking myself,what is the meaning of life?Dictionaries shows this as the meaning of life: life is the interval of time between birth and death,The interval of time between one’s birth and the present. This meanings came from different kinds of people, came from different thoughts,ideas and own beliefs as they go through the process of their lives,they suddenly put up their own meaning of life as they realized their selves. There are so many people who are tired of their conditions in life, so as they comprehend their status they may say that life must be unfair,their reason might be because of the poverty, but some has a very wide thinking not to look at the dark side but,on the brighter side,though they are experiencing poverty they still thank God for the life given to them because they believe that things in the land are not permanent,where in as good people die they will be more happy because God prepared a very nice place in heaven for them,but when rich man end into death with a poor heart condition and shows greediness while he is still alive he can bring diamonds,gold and money to his grave but can’t bring it on his next life.

As I wake up every morning I thank God for giving me another day to live,to explore the gift He gave me.As I see my family,and my special someone I thank God for my life.As I go to sleep I do the same thing I pray and ask Him to give me another morning.There are times whenever my parents scolded me,yelled at me.I usually think of disappearing, but whenever I close my eyes in darkness I am afraid to be left alone and die.I’ve started to hate myself for thinking of wasting the life given to me,because there are lots of people in the hospital,people who’s living on streets,for those who are suffering,risking their lives doing everything just for survival and start a new life.I have realized how important life is.

Another thing that makes me realize how important life is,because there is someone who loves me so much and I love her most.It is very important to be loved and to be in love with someone who shows me the real meaning of LIFE.

It Is All For You by Jack Stone

Every time that God gives us one great morning to spend, there is this one thing that always reminds us to live our lives once more and make it much better that it was yesterday. Having so many things to do everyday makes us very exhausted, yet we still manage to go on. When every single task we do seems unworthy of our time, just think that it will help us improve ourselves, or much better, we can think of someone who inspires us as well. Thinking of someone who is really close to our heart makes the exhaustion go away. Just the thought of living our lives for someone else can make our life sail very smoothly and freely.

Funny, sometimes sarcastic, moody and serious, these are the traits of him that made Leo fall in love... all over again. He is Joseph, my former classmate in National Service Training Program. Every time, I and this guy are talking, I always feel that the time is passing so fast. We talk about anything that we want to know from each other or anything that we can share about. He is also the reason why I don't fail to go to school. Aside from my family and friends, this guy also never fails to tell me how important going to school is. My friends too- Budz, Ryan, Ate Karen and to you guys, you know who you are, are very important to me. They are my second family, I must say, they are the ones who untirelessly give their time for me. We are very happy to spend our time together, and I know that we can climb every mountain, sail the wide ocean of this universe and we can also eat all the street foods we want. We always share simple things together, yet it brings extreme happiness to us.

It's not bad to try new things, explore and discover something new about ourselves. Show people what we have got and don't be afraid to hear comments coming from them. Life is too short my friend, use it wisely and productively. Event hough life is complicated, we can still make it easier to live, just think of the people whom you love very much. Always say to yourself that "It's all for you", so that you will be motivated to work hard and pursue things you want to achieve.

"Being with my friends makes me happy, knowing that we are sharing good quality of true friendship. Simple things like talking and listening to music is the one of my favorite things to do.
