MORRIE
By:
Mitch Albom
One person can truly understand the true meaning of life if it will
be taught through experience.
For some, life may be boring, but once you truly understand its
essence you will be amazed that understanding true meaning of
life is interesting and self-fulfilling because it will direct you
towards your purpose.
Enjoy your life to the fullest. Always do the best you can do to
avoid regrets and what ifs at the end. The LORD wants us to live
our life meaningfully and abundantly. Life is beautiful if you tried
to explore and look on its positive side.
Let’s not forget our words and have integrity. Do not forget
people who became part of our heart and life especially our
friends and family no matter where we go, how far we’ll reach
and how big we’ll achieve.
Do not let the world choke us and do not let pains, frustrations,
disappointments and failures drown us and made us change into
someone that is notto be proud of and unpleasant to the sight of
the LORD. Do not consider these things as a stumbling block but a
stepping stone to reach our goals and establish our own identity.
But remember, when time comes that you get what you desired
to get, do not be overwhelmed and controlled by it. Having fame,
wealth, power and honour are good but loving these is a different
story. You should be the captain of your life and not be
manipulated by anyone or controlled by something else.
IV. THE AUDIO-VISUAL
People may think your life is miserable, will pity and think you as a
useless individual but as long as you continue to dream and
believe in yourself and in GOD, you will survive. You are
determined and strong-willed individual always bear that in mind.
As what Morrie said, “Just accept what you are able to do and
what you are not able to do. In other words, focus on the things
that you can do and not on what you can’t do without regrets.
Accept your past without denying it or discarding. Past is past. It is
already over and you can’t do something to change it. Just be
accountable and responsible to face the consequences of your
actions and decisions may it be bad or good.
Also, learn to forgive yourself and other people who wronged and
mistreated you. Forgiving is setting yourself free from all the
weights and burdens of life. Forgiveness gives you peace of mind.
Forgiveness is freedom.
And lastly, do not assumed that it’s too late to get involved.
Socialized with other people and also learn from them. Show that
you care and love them while you still have them and time.
V. THE ORIENTATION
Never neglect someone while they are freely expressing and showing
their feelings without hesitation and doubts because it will make your
heartdown and heavy.Do not distance yourself from people who can,
uplift, encourage, love you genuinely and bravely, and help you to be
the best version of yourself. Do what is right for it will make you
happy and satisfied. Love is about honesty and second about
happiness.
Continue to spread your wings and fly up above the sky without
forgetting the kindness and love of others showered and given to you.
As what Morrie said, “Dying is only one thing to be sad over but living
is something else.” Once we die, we physically but the way we live
and use our life is lasting and that is our legacy. Legacy will remain
and may influence the next generations. Through our legacy and
philosophy in life, we will be remembered forever. While being dead
is not necessarily means breathless. It can be mean emotionally
troubled, physically tired, mentally exhausted, financially drained and
socially impaired.
VII. TAKING ATTENDANCE
Everyone has its own concerns in life, own business, agenda and plans
for the day. But no matter how busy your life it may, do not let it
overwhelmed you. Take a pause, take a deep breath and try to reflect
on the things that are happening to you. Minimize time spent on
chatting, gossiping, and watching someone else’s drama. Just focus
on the things that will contribute to your growth and maturity as an
individual.
As what Morrie said, ““The culture we have does not make people feel
good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if
the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.” Do not go with the flow of this
world. Have the courage to stand on what you believe is right and
fight for it. What you’ve got are the results of your actions and
decisions. You are accountable and responsible to the consequences
either good or bad.
Take notice, acknowledge and count all the blessings that you have
received and not the thorns you think that hurt you. Stay to have a
positive outlook and spend your time doing things that are beneficial
to you as well as the others. You are the master of your life. You
create your own routine and establish your own identity. Choose to
live a meaningful and purposeful life by devoting to do good to
yourself, neighbors and community. Living as good example of
humanity letting not the world shut you down making you feel
confused and depressed.
VIII. THE FIRST TUESDAY WE TALK ABOUT
THE WORLD
Meet new people, learn to socialize, and trust others. If you can’t
trust others, how can you build a good relationship with them? These
are great factors that can help us understand our self-worth and
boost our confidence.
As this chapter says, “The most important thing in life is to learn how
to give out love, and to let it come in.” His voice dropped to a whisper.
“Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it
in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right.
He said, ‘Love is the only rational act.”
Friedrich Froebel says, “Come; let us live for our children.” The key to
finding the meaning of life is to stop worrying; complaining and
murmuring about things we cannot change anymore. Be more
focussed on the things we can do and not on the things we can’t do.
Set our goals and priorities selflessly; living our life stress free.
Selflessly, it is not just about us but also about the people that
surrounds us.
I just want to share with you the ten ways to love shared in facebook.
Its okay to feel bad about things let it out; cry if you have to but don’t
dwell on it. Live a victorious life and let not sickness take you down.
Enjoy every moment of your life with your friends and love ones who
love you unconditionally, encourage you unceasingly and support you
all the way. You are what you think you are. If you think you’re
miserable, then you’re miserable; but if you think you are not, then
you are not.
