Youthful Spirit

Do you have a youthful spirit that is within you? How can you know if you do have this kind of personality? Let me guide you by reading my blog. This is all for the youths like me who are seeking for their responsibilities, enjoyment and at the same time being youth.

Being youth is a wonderful stage in our lives but at the same time it is also the most memorable and the downfalls in our life. Why did I say that?

Being a youth is a wonderful stage in our lives because you have the privilege to enjoy your life having fun with your friends, peers, and making contact with other people. I mean you have no commitment at all (if you have no relationship). You also enjoy your life because you are still living with your family, who supports you and giving all what you need to continue in your journey. You also enjoy being youth because you have the privilege to study, to know more things in life, to have a job someday because of your hard work.

Being a youth is the most memorable and probably you will experience in this stage the downfalls in your life. Did you know that this stage is the longest and the most memorable stage in our life? Being a youth is difficult because you have responsibilities and at the same time you do have limitations in all things, but I agree that this is for your own good. Yes, I am like you. Your parents and siblings secure you at all times and they need to know where are you going, who is with you etc. (what,where,when,why,WHO?)

Being youth is hard because you have to meet their expectations and some other youth’s parents plan their child’s future. What I mean is for example; “you need to take up this course because this is the best for you”, you need to follow them even you don’t want the course they are encouraging you to study from. You have to take that course because your parents are the one who pays your education and everything.

In this stage you also have to meet and leave your friends. Why? Lets just say that you graduated from a school and you will transfer to a college university. Some teens say that “ I wish that we will stay forever in high school, because Highschool is the best stage in our school life” yes, I agree that highschool is the best and the most memorable stage in a student’s life but It doesn’t mean that you should stick yourself in highschool. Moving on with your journey takes sacrifices and responsibilities. You have to sacrifice you highschool loved ones because you need to go and face your journey in college life.

Don’t be afraid to be freshman college student because whether you like it or not, college is part of your life and without entering college you will not have a professional job. Some people say that college is difficult, hard, and stressful. Being a college student, I do all my best and I don’t believe in their sayings. If you believe on what other people’s comments about college you will not have your own identity being a college student. Don’t follow them rather make your own goal in college life. There you will meet new friends, colleagues, teachers and other people that may help you pursue your goals in your college life.

These are all parts of being a youth. Where there is laughter and there are tears. Just remember this. Being a youth you need to sacrifice, face the challenges and to know what your goal in life is. At the same time, don’t forget Our Almighty God, He is the only one who can really help you. Prayer is powerful.

How to Discover your Life's Purpose

How can you discover your life's purpose? Definitely, it’s not your career, your job, your hobbies etc. Absolutely, I just want to ask why do you exist here, because you have your own purpose in life right? You have your goals that you need to do before everything else turns out into nothing. If you are the kind of person who doesn’t believe that you have a goal in life, it’s okay. It won’t prevent you from knowing and realizing that you have purpose here in this world we are living to.

If you really want to know what your purpose in Life is, let me teach you some tips on what I have read from one of my favorite Journal writers (Steve Pavlina)

First, you must not think about anything. Make your mind blank from confusions, hatred and problems that are screaming on your mind.(Including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).

There are many ways to know your purpose in life. If you follow to the process, you will have more chance to expect it to work. It will not prevent on working as long as your mind is settle into it.

Here are the steps:

1.You can open a word processor here in your computer with a blank page.
2.Write at the top, “What is my real purpose in life?”
3.Write words that come into your mind reading that question.
4.Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. Absolutely, that is your purpose in life.

Done? You can cry and cry, it doesn’t matter if you are a strong man but believe me you do have a soft and a kind heart inside your true personality. I know that for other people this is stupidity, but I can only question them that have they tried it? Or are they really interested to know what their purpose in life is?

It’s okay if some of your words are similar, you may even re-write your previous answers. You can write down whatever comes into your mind. During the process, after writing many answers but still seeking or searching for the right answer you get tired, That’s normal but don’t stop, push yourself into writing, just focus and relax and be with your own self.

You may also discover some of the words you’ve written down that gave you a little bit of emotion but didn’t make you cry at all. Well, take note of those words; underline them as you go along. When you’re getting these kinds of words, it just means that you are getting deeper in the process. Go with it. Don’t stop.

I prefer that you need to do this alone so you can focus on yourself more. If you don’t believe it, I suggest that you start with “ My life is useless” or “I don’t have a purpose” then start over there.

My own personal experience in this test:

Before I started this test I locked my room, turn off the fan and everything. Everything around me is silence and I can’t believe it, my surroundings cooperated with me. It took me 15 mins. until I reached my real answer.

My final answer is : to give my family a wonderful life, to give love and not asking for any return and to live the life full of peace and happiness.

Knowing your purpose in life is the easy part. The hard part is making yourself in the path where your purpose is.

Just try this and only you is needed in this test.
