FINDING AND CREATING MEANING

Kung minsan po diba po na we tend to complain about whats

happening sa buhay natin kung may malungkot na pangyayari and
sometimes after this pain nalalaman natin kung ano yung purpose
natin. Pero kung hindi man nangyayre ang mga bagay na ganoon
nahihirapan tayo na malaman whats the plan and what is our
purpose di po ba,

So kailangan pa ba nating mapahirapan magdanas ng masasakit

na sitwasyon para malaman kung ano ang purpose natin?

Ayan so

(FIRST SLIDE)

Viktor Frankl wrote that the meaning of life lies in finding a purpose
and taking responsibility for ourselves and others. By having a clear
"why" we can face all the "how" questions of life. Only by feeling free
and sure of the objective that motivates us will we be able to make
the world a better place.

Sa sinabi niyang yun by that, we know there is no question as

complicated as what the “meaning of life” is. And yung ganun na
question kailangan ng philosophical, transcendental and moral
nuances, so often we stick to classic sayings, like “be happy and
make others happy“, “be content“, “do good“.

However, many ask the question and feel a deep existential void.

Kung sa ating mga studyante ano naman ang meaning natin in life
diba if all of our days are the same, aral tulog kain. Sa ganoong
sitwasyon we can’t find meaning in anything around us? Yes we are
student at sa sarili natin alam natin is yung goals natin. However,
Humans don’t have an obligation to define the meaning of life in
universal terms. Each of us will do it our way, starting with
ourselves, with our potential and experiences, discovering ourselves
every day. Moreover, the meaning of life may not only differ from
one person to another, but we ourselves may have a different life
purpose at each stage of life. The important thing is for each goal to
give us satisfaction and encouragement to get up in the morning
and fight for what we want.

DISCOVERING THE MEANING IN LIFE

So we have 3 categories on how we can discover the meaning of our

lives and firstly is

Live with decision and it states in here na The Decisions you make
today affect what happens tomorrow. Make no regrets and live the
best way you can. So makikita natin na tayo mismo yung
gumagawa ng purpose natin in life like for example sa pagpasok
natin dito sa PSU it is our decision so wag tayong mag regret kung
nahihirapan man tayo sa mga gawain ngayon may magandang
kapalit ito soon, and they say the more na nahihirapan ka the more
din na mas lumalapit sa inyo ang success. So lets live our decision
with positivity kase We’ve all seen before: people who handle very
tough circumstances with positivity and motivation. Napapaisip
tayo How do they do that? Paano nila nagawa yun e We all share
the same biological structures. But what sets us apart from these
people is their determination. Being determined to achieve
something, overcome all obstacles and fight for what we want,
however small, will help us clarify our purpose in each stage of our
life.
So secondly on how we discover THE MEANING IN LIFE is Even if
you suffer, have your purpose clear and you will find strength so
dito Viktor Frankl explained in his book “Man’s Search for Meaning”
that there is nothing worse than perceiving that our suffering is
useless. However, if you can find a purpose, you won’t just endure
your suffering; you’ll see it as a challenge. Marami sa atin kung
minsan ang nahihirapan and yung paghihirap natin na yun is
tinatake natin na wala lang tipong nilulugmok natin yung sarili
natin doon and for example some students says kapag nahihirapan
na “ naghihirap pa tayo gawin to pero paano kung masasaksak lang
naman tayo sa gilid” ayan so makikita natin na nagiging useless na
yung problem na nae-encounter natin. Pero kung iniisip natin na
“ay kaya ako nahihirapan para matuto” so in that case naiisip mo
na may purpose yung paghihirap mo diba you wont just endure
your suffering youll see it as a challenge. Dahil at the end of the day
kung nakipaglaban ka sa problema mo makakamit mo yung gusto
mo makakamit mo yung pinaglaban mo.

So lastly Change your attitude to find a higher meaning in life

(basahin nasa ppt)

We are all aware life is not fair. Sometimes we work to exhaustion

and invest all our time, energy, emotions and heart… yet fate only
hands us setbacks. Every dream we have falls apart. Backing down
is more than logical and understandable, pero kung mangyare man
sa atin ito we have two options.

First, to assume that we cannot change what happens to us and be

prisoners of circumstance. Tipong ikaw mismo yung nagkukulong
sa sarili mo parang bukas naman yung jail bars but you kept on
holding it ayaw mong umalis gusto mo doon nalang.

Second, to accept that we cannot change what has happened to us

but that we can change our attitude towards it. Eto yung tipong
just keep o moving e at kahit masakit naniniwala ka parin na may
pag asa, may ibang plano para sayo.

We have a spiritual self that is connected to the Spirit of a God, of a

Sacred or Divine. We may have different beliefs and practices and
we use different paths to connect with the Ultimate. Our experience
with God is revealed in many ways. The most challenging one is
when we are confronted with the reality of pain and suffering.
Viktor Frankl explains that we can find meaning in life even in the
midst of miseries by creating a work or doing a deed, by
experiencing something or encountering someone, and by our
attitude toward an unavoidable experience.

Even in the modern times we are still influenced by the early

worldview about the spirit or soul. This explains the various rituals
and ceremonies that is shared within the community.

So that all about our report, this is group 3 thank you.
