Human Life; you can make or break it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today many people question about life and its meaning and purpose. Many are dissatisfied and unhappy with Life and as a result these persons are doing many negative things. In spite of many wonderful things that life has given and achieved still many people ask big questions about life. Many try to seek the answer in books and films, in wealth and money, in position and power, drugs and alcohol etc. To find answers for our life one needs to accept the vocation of being human. One needs to understand the purpose and meaning in a spiritual circle. The purpose of life is to serve and love God, to be always in union with Him and with the entire creation. When we walk with God and accept his mission in our life then we feel happy and contended. It all depends how we organize our life. We need to live a full life filled to its capacity with meaning and purpose, and pursuit and fulfillment, and satisfaction without forgetting the creator and giver of life.

You can make or break your life without knowing it. Those who soar higher are the ones who have accepted the life with challenges. They are ready to swim any ocean because they know that doing this will bring them happiness and joy. Some die at a young age but keep living life without any purpose. These are the ones who don’t see any purpose so give up living the call and vocation that God gives. They are living men who are dead to everything. Many think that others will make me happy but it’s a wrong perception. It’s all in one’s hands to make life beautiful and happy. It is not depending on others to make our life fruitful and peaceful. The others can take us to lake but cannot drink water for us. Life creates thirst and hunger and life teaches us to find water and food. Look at the animals and birds, they find their necessary things to life their lives. When there is aim and goal in life, it never leaves us along but helps us to reach and achieve the goals.

I have learned in life one important lesson: Never say “NO” to anything even if it is a challenge. Never go by the standards set by others for you. Don’t even compare your life with the others. You are the real hero and gem.. You can shine like the star if you believe and accept yourself the way you are. Dream the dream, which are within your reach. Live in the present and not in the past. Past will guide your to live your present and to look with hope towards future. Follow and imitate good people who are like lampposts in our lives. I had many of them in my capuchin vocation. They have guided and helped me to grow. Their lives have been a big inspiration and motivator for me. One great friar I would like to mention is Br. Remigius Sequiera who died recently. I was the luckiest guy to have him as my formator all through my formation. His impression on me is great. His life was one of commitment and dedication. I have never seen a friar so happy and contended like Br. Remigius.
