Our life is just temporary so we
must make it worth living. How? For me, pursuing those important things in your
life is what makes your life worth living. We have our missions here on Earth
to accomplish, but do we know what it is? I have heard a talk from a church I
have visited once and there she said that, we must have our own legacy in this
world. We must leave our own marks and in that way, we have done what God
wanted us to be.
Well
I’ve got to say that Bertrand Russell had made his life worth living by sharing
the three things that affected him throughout his life in his work “Three
Passions I Have Lived For”. Wherein he first sought for love, then after that,
he sought for knowledge that made him cloud nine because he forgets his
loneliness with love and knowledge and believes that there’s hope to
everything, ready to depart, but then, he realized the suffering of the real
world. About my own passions in life, I can say that mine are family, strength
and the urge to help others. First is family. Why? Because from the beginning,
they already served as your armor, and till the end, they won’t be leaving you.
They will forever support you and always believe that despite all the struggles
you’re facing, you can do it. My second passion in life is strength. As I have
watched the movie Life of Pi, it is said there that life’s true opponent is
fear. That fear is the thing that can defeat life. So for me, it is very
important for each of us to keep ourselves strong. That after the challenges
we’ll encounter, chin up and smile. Believe that you’ll surpass everything and
that you’re strong. Even the word itself is very powerful. Strength is a
powerful thing and we must embrace that for us to continue living a positive
life. But then after having our own pleasures in life, at the end of the day,
we must not forget that we need to serve others as well. This is my third
passion, helping others even in the simplest way, that can make a difference.
Because, just by seeing a person smile and feel light after you have helped
them makes me wonder that,’ I really am
blessed. I’m not struggling as much as this one does’, it makes me want to
capture those picture perfect smiles that this person is showing. And even
though he is suffering, still, he never gives up.
My
passions in life might be different from Bertrand Russell’s but I believe that,
no matter how different it is from others, as long as it is a service to
mankind, it’s alright. We’ll never know, maybe the passions we possess will be
our legacy in our future. We just have to make every day worthwhile, you must
be dedicated with what you do and give your whole heart to it. And lastly,
never end your day without thanking God, He is the reason for everything and in
return, the least thing you can do is communicate with Him, because God made
you an instrument to help others and no matter how tough life could be, He is
always there to guide and lead you.
