Washing Machine



"If you were a washing machine, how will you be happy? “Have you ever thought of that? It's silly but really, if you were a washing machine how will you be happy? The answer is simple. You'd be happy if you wash some clothes. Why? Because that's what you're supposed to do. If you were a washing machine and you tried to make some coffee, you'll end up being stressed out and crazy because that's not what you're designed to do. 

So, how will we be happy? 

As human beings, we'll be happy if we're being humans. We'll be happy if we're doing what were supposed to do. First of all, what are we supposed to do? What's our purpose? Knowing our purpose is very important because it will direct our lives. If a person chooses having fun as his purpose, then he'll be investing most of his time on partying. If I choose getting rich as my purpose, then I'll spend most of my time earning money or doing business, no matter the cost may be. Wealth is certainly not a sin, but using it for wrong motives is. I'm just saying that choosing a purpose is so critical that it will control how we spend most of our time and sometimes our whole lives.

What is our great purpose? What’s one purpose that will give us eternal significance? The purpose that will make us feel we're doing the right thing. A purpose that will surpass having fun, earning material possessions and achievements. It's loving God.

Loving God is what we're supposed to do. If loving God is our ultimate purpose, we'll experience what life is really about. We'll wake up early in the morning and appreciate His wonderful creation outside our windows, rain or shine. We'll have fun with people we love and have our parties in places that still glorify God. We'll earn money to be able to provide, serve and be a blessing to others. We will pursue integrity in school or in the office. If loving God is our purpose, we'll seek Him first and believe that things will happen in His perfect timing. No trials or challenges will break us. Most of all, if loving God is our purpose then we'll invest most of our time in relationships and we'll give high importance to family, friends and others. We'll enjoy loving them and meeting their needs because it's through loving people that we best show our love for God :)

(1) WHY DO PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO SMOKING? It all starts with one try, "YB" and when we love the feeling, we're convinced that it is a source of SATISFACTION. However, when our level of satisfaction dwindles, we crave for the feeling once again, which causes us to further with the addiction. We tend to depend on it like OXYGEN. Cheers to non smokers! And more cheers to quitters! Why do we seek for things that will give us satisfaction that's merely fleeting, and surely leads to nothingness? What's sad is that even if we know it, WE DO IT. (2) THE SAME CYCLE GOES OUT FOR WEIGHTY THINGS such as drugs, alcohol and sex. These are things that are terribly OVERINDULGENT that once people fall into it, a cycle of search, satisfaction and emptiness is formed. What's more, when an addiction can no longer supply us with the level of satisfaction we yearn for, we move on to our next FLEETING FANCY, not knowing how further damaging it is to us, and to t...

Smile

I worked for some time in a coffee shop. On my first day behind the cash register, my boss just told me to do two things, “say thank you and SMILE” I’m good in following orders so that’s what I did throughout my shift. At the end of my shift my boss told me that people felt good because of my smile! According to them it was warm and welcoming. Since then I would always smile when faced with a customer. To smile is the simplest yet amazing thing you could do. Actually it’s one of the best things you could do for people as well. Smiling at them will make them feel good. It could make a stranger's day. It’s free and it feels good. What are your reasons to smile? I’ve come up with a list on reasons for me to smile right now. Knowing that my favorite hero “Wolverine” is Canadian Knowing that the movie “The Avengers” is almost out Knowing that I’ll be reunited with my family again Knowing that I have awesome friends all around the planet Just thinking of how wo...
