Meaningful life

Thanks donut for sharing another thing about you that allows us to know u better! (^^,)

Frankly, i always tot that ur dream is to become famous, successful or rich..cos u like to read motivational books. But i remember once u said that its because you wan to know what how those successful people think. I tot to myself maybe because you are a thinker. And cos i have never really ask, so i duno if it was your dream to be successful and maybe famous and rich. But i'm glad that you have realise someting meaningful from the book that u have mentioned. I guess not all people realise the simple truth "living life to the fullest". Actually Jesus said it.

"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
~John 10:9-10~
Jesus came to the world to give us life. He didn't come to bring us rules, or judgement, or fear, or work. Jesus came to give us life in its fullest form.
To me living life to the fullest not only include doing things that I enjoy, but also things like knowing God more, knowing people around me more, having a deeper relationship with my friends and family, being a blessing to the people around me, impacting peoples' lives, sharing the good news of Jesus to people, restoring broken relationships, discovering my weakness and overcoming it, using the strengths and talents that God has given me for a good purpose... in fact as i grow older, i realise that there are many things that i wan to do... but there may not be enough time. To cherish the time we have now is really sumtin crucial. who knows, i may not have much time left..
Glad that all of us have been reminded of this simple truth. So... whether we go to work or to school, remember to do ur best. When we talk to our parents, remember to respect them instead of quarrel with them. When we see a friend, smile at them or talk to them. In essence, my view is that we should be thankful for this life and live a good one with it, one with no regrets. (^^,)
