40 Days of Purpose

Noticed that my blog entries are pretty meaningless... so i hope this entry proves otherwise.

Ever wondered what ur purpose in life was? living your day... just completing tutorials, assignments, studying for exams and tests. Indulging in leisure activities which add little value to ur life... building relationships... merely acquittances rather than life-long friendships. There must be more than this... curious to find out?

Well my church is having 40 Days of Purpose! Going through Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life. If you are free on saturdays... please tell me asap! Orientation Sunday is coming up on the 26th of Feb... so sign up at before that day preferbly.

Reflecting... a meaningful life may have different meanings to different people. A similar discussion was held in GP last year, just that the topic was on success. Many reasons poped out, such as being rich, climbing high in the coporate ladder, raising a family well. Many reasons brought up involved measurements of successes based on marks of measurements which can be seen. Is is only our culture which breeds the stereotype that things can only be measured by what can be measured visibly?

Sure... scientific theories are based on observations from the results of their expereriment. Deductions based on logical thoughts. Yet on the otherhand... religion is based from scriptures, anecdotes and traditions. Religious experiences leave little room for observations as many experiences are supernatural... beyond the realm of scientific comprehension. Are some people really too afraid to place their faith in things unseen?

Food for thought...
