Have you ever wonder about why you are here? Why do you born from this family?or why do your parents named you this (whoever your name is)? Some people do to the way they have been raised will thing that their life doesn’t matter at all and some other will think otherwise. The you are raised matter only to a certain point. After that the way you live your life matter more.

Once or a few times in my life, I have wondered about that. There’s time when I don’t know why I have been born. And why my parents decided on my name. At some point before finishing my high-school I was lost because of my background and seems I’m not worthy for anything. No one wants me. I’m just a tool to help my parents to get their status by earning good grades in school. Unfortunately, I was not that smart and quite lazy. A worst combination at all.

After a while in university I was given a purpose in life. Do you know what is yours? There are 3 things that you need to remember
1. You are not an accident
Hopefully you never feel this, but there might be a point in your life that somebody or even yourself told you that you are an accident. Trust me, you are not. Your parents might not planned it, but you are formed by purpose. I don’t know what you believe, but a higher being has formed you in the family you are in. You might have bad experiences but it is for some purposes.

Everyone or some people will try to instill that kind of thought to you. Please don’t believe it. If you ask them how you are formed, no one of them have control of what happen. I feel grateful that no human has control in forming me. Can you imagine what happen if somebody have control to form the body? He/she might feel adventurous and try different things like putting the feet as the arm, put one eye instead of two, etc. How do you feel, if you just know about this, that there’s somebody that in charge of your life?

2. Everything happen for a reason
You might never know or take a long time to know what’s the reason. But for everything it happens for a reason. There’s a time when I don’t know why I need to experience bad things when I’m still young. most of my cousins rejected me. Some part, I’m still not fully understand, but I think it happened because I was very insecure and I don’t like to hang out with other people. This experience help me to build my confidence and my temperament on how to relate with other people. I was not really sympathetic with others, I can say this is unfortunate or fortunate that I learn a bit how to be sympathetic with others because of this experience.

Keep in mind that you might not know the reason until the end of your life. That’s okay. It happens for your own good. Even though it seems hard and seems just want to make you down, it has a purpose. I might sound like a positive thinking guy, and I think I try to think positively on the situation. I know I still take some time to accept the situation at the beginning. And this process is necessary, You can’t just think positively at anything every time, there’s time to grief before you can move on and that’s okay. After some time, I hope you can see the reason behind it. And if you don’t, don’t worry too much, the day will come for you to understand the reason.

3. YOLO, so make it count
If you don’t know, YOLO means “You Only Live Once”. Some people use this as a license to do bad stuff, crazy stuff or use their life for inspiration for others. I agree that you only live once, and you’ll never know how long you live. But as it is today, make it count. No one is going to be like you again. You are here in this era for a reason and only you can fulfill it. No one else can take over your role. They might be able to do it too, but it won’t be the same on how you do it. The importance thing is not whether something gets done, but the process that you do to it.

I’m inspired by Switchfoot (This is your life) The lyric says that “This is your life, are you who you want to be..” Are you living your life so that you’re making it count? I hope that by remembering that you are matter and there’s only one chance for you to go through your life, you’ll be able to make it count for a better place

At the end, you might not be somebody that will be remembered by a lot of people, but live your life, so that you’re remembered by people around you that you’ve done the best you can and their life is changed to be better because of you.

How do you live your life when you know the uncertainty in life?
