In my 19 years of existence, I have suffered from disappointments, failures, and

heartbreaks as I tried seeking life’s meaning. These challenges I had experienced made me
realize that it is not my obligation to find the meaning of life because it lies on my potential,
experiences, and ability to discover one’s self everyday. It may not be my obligation but it is
essential for my existence for it provides purpose for our lives. Whereas, a purpose different
from others.

Life’s meaning takes place once a person sets a clear view of what she wants for herself,
take responsibility and have a strong determination and motivation to face every challenges
that may come across the way. Moreover, finding meaning in one’s lives requires to look
beyond the values and talents. In doing so, we will find ways to make the world a better
place, while enriching our own lives. Thus, one should adopt a stronger, resilient, and positive
attitude in facing life’s challenges to have a better and meaningful life.
