2. BEFORE you take this course, what do you think is your purpose in life?  How do you perceive your purpose now? Why do you think some people find it difficult to answer such question?
Before I take this course my purpose in life is to be happy and to be successful in life. I want to help people and to achieve my goals in developing my knowledge and skills but when I take this course I fully understand that my purpose in life is to have a path to go back with God because I realized that He is our creator and our true happiness. Some people find it difficult to answer because I think that people have different perspective and confused on what is the true in their purpose of life.


3. Why do we have different understanding about the purpose of life?
We have different understanding about the purpose of life because people have different point of views, beliefs and experiences that divide us in finding the true meaning of our purpose in our life. People also depend on what they want to do or what the things that will satisfy them just like me before but when God came to my life and I understand the teachings and true meaning of my purpose in life it helps me to be more confident and to seek the love of God. 

 
4. How would you relate your desire for happiness with your purpose?
My desire for happiness should be connected with my purpose and for me authentic happiness is not found here on earth but in God. My purpose in life will lead me to my happiness and that is to seek and go back with our God. My happiness should depend on my purpose because once I understand and realized what is the true meaning of my purpose in life then I will be able to find my desire happiness.

Upon watching the video, I have come to realized that the purpose of life depends on how you deal with life. The answer of the people varies differently, some have an optimistic point of view. But for me, the purpose of life is simply to be happy. Being happy has a broad meaning and has a lot of varieties. But by being happy with what you have and who you are, i think you already have achieved your purpose in life.

I have learned a lot of life values in this course, and one of it is realizing my purpose in life. Growing up surrounded by ups and downs of positivities and negativities, i sometimes question my own purpose. But i learned that its not about what we have to deal with in life, its about how we deal with it. I think people have a hard time answering such question is because they are blinded by what they dont have. They see a negative picture of life outweighing the blessings that they receive from God.

We have a different understanding about our purpose in life because each one of us is different. Everyone has their own phase in life, has their own problems and downfalls, everyone has their own victory. We might not always be on the same page in trying to find our purpose in life, but eventually we will come to a point wherein we are thankful that God has given us the life that we have.

  

I have always aspired to be happy in life, because for me that is my main purpose in living. Personally, i dont need a lot of things just be said that i have reached my purpose, because happiness is my purpose in life.

Based on the video, every person has a different perspective regarding the purpose of life. It may be for God, for themselves, and for other people. But for me, I believe that the main purpose of life is glorifying God and following His plans because I know that He will help me reach beautiful places. Throughout our journey in life, we must put God first and everything else will follow; and that will make us realize the main purpose of life.

I believe that it’s because all humans has a different understanding about the purpose of life because of our perspective and experiences. Aside from that, our faith in God may also be the reason of our differences. Nonetheless, the most important thing in order to know the purpose of life is to worship God and live up to His words.
