yale asked: what's my meaning in life..

chim no? I haven't really thought about it actually, like really sat down to think about it..
the question caught me by surprise, because I think, it's time that I actually thought about it, like seriously..

I guess for me, most importantly is to live a contented life.. I have dreams and passion, I work towards my dreams and passions, but I don't want to get sucked into the endless cycle of work and life.. I guess I've been blessed much by God to be able to live so comfortably and contented with the blessings He has given.. what better family can I have? what better friends can I ask for? what better dreams and passions and opportunities can I hope for?

I don't have big dreams or aspirations.. people say to chase your dreams and be ambitious, but I'm not one to go all out.. Not that I don't strive to achieve or do my best.. But everytime I look back at my past, I feel contented at how everything has unfolded..

To me, I try to just be appreciative at what God has done and is doing in my life... and perhaps to make the world a better and happier place to live in for the people around me.. it doesn't matter if certain things don't work out the way I want or hope for, sometimes I fail, whether be it studies, work, family, relationships.. but I look forward to what tomorrow brings, and I'm happy to have reached so far ahead in life..

What makes me happy and contented is probably much of seeing the people around me are happy and contented as well.. spreading the joy, sharing the pains, fighting the sorrows, whatever it takes to make people cheer up.. my sadness is not worth other people's happiness, and as much as I can, I tend to keep my emotions to myself so that I can share in other people's happiness.. and seeing them happy helps me to get myself back on my feet, and to realise what joy and contentment really means to me..

So, have I answered the question? maybe, maybe not.. but at least now I know what I really look forward to in my life, and what really matters to me probably..
