finding your own treasue
i went to mass yesterday and the priest gave a good sermon . . .
he gave a topic about finding our own treasure . . .
it made me think . . . why do we want to find treasure? why are we willing to almost do everything just to find that treasure?
you know, i thought . . . are we just really looking for material treasure? is that the only thing we want in our life? i don’t think so . . .
i believe we all long to find our own treasures . . . and if we look inside our hearts i know we won’t stop in just a thought of a material treasure . . .
i realized . . . what is the ultimate treasure we all are looking for?
it is happiness . . .
and i guess that’s what we need to realize in our life . . . what will make us happy?
you know sometimes, i envy the people around me who have realized what they want . . . where they shall be happy . . . and though it meant that they shall be leaving us at work because they realized what is more important in their lives . . . at the end of the day, i still want to smile because at least they have already realized what they want in life . . .
i thought to myself . . . when will i find my own happiness? how will i realize what will make me truly happy?
it was a question i couldn’t easily find the answer . . . until the homily yesterday . . .
the priest said, even the simplest material thing we look for can give clues to our ultimate happiness . . .
i tried it . . .
what is the most important thing in my life right now? is it that thing that makes me happy right now?
i’m spending more time at work . . . i’ve valued my relationship with my boss mommy mai . . . i want to make sure i’m doing well with my projects and reports . . . i want to excel and prove something to my boss that her mentoring is paying off . . . why do i want those things? why do i want to do it?
then i realized my answer . . . i value my job . . . i valued school back then . . . i valued my friends . . .
i know why i value those things so much . . . and how much i feel threatened whenever i feel things are not going well there . . .
it’s because it through those that i feel needed . . . i feel my worth . . . i feel useful . . . i feel my purpose of existence . . .
yes, i realized one of my treasures . . . the happiness of feeling my worth and value in other’s people’s lives . . .
i wish i could continue doing so . . .
