In the End
March 14,2022
I was just looking at the screen on my phone thinking of what to write while listening to some music on youtube and the song in the end by Linkin park played. I tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn’t really matters.
I knew that the song in the end was one of the best hit music by the band. I remembered when I was in high school, it was overhyped. Everyone is playing and singing it. It was so iconic. The lyrics that can touch your soul and with the great voice of Chester, it’s a perfect match. Brings back the old good memories (matanda na talaga). But seriously, after hearing this song again now, it made me think, what does really matter?
There is a truth that unites us. We all want to live a life that mattered and we only get one chance at it. It doesn't matter your background, your skin color, your income, your politics, your religion or your world view. And it doesn't matter what has happened in your past. We all want to know that our lives counted for something that we made a positive difference in the world, with the one life we've been given to live. But how do we achieve this?
First, we believe that we were designed to achieve important things, that we are unique in our being, our personality, our abilities and our relationships, that there is no one else on the face of the earth who can live your life and accomplish your goal and second we remove distractions in order to accomplish those things. It is not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it.
Life is long enough for the highest achievement if it were all well invested. We each get the same amount of time 1440 minutes per day, 168 hours per week and how we spend that time matters.It matters in the short run and it matters in the long run. How we spend our time not only affects ourselves but it affects our loved ones, our families, our communities and all those who come after us. So how do we live our lives for the greatest good for the greatest number of people we choose well. We set aside lesser pursuits to seek things that matter and we do it every single day. Things that matter is about overcoming the distractions that keep us from living out our true purpose in life.
