Personally I think there's more to life than that and Siri needs an update. What do you believe? Knowing what you believe and what you believe the meaning of life is helps you answer this question and not have to askSiri. Plus, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others.
Recently I heard that one of the most searched phrases on Siri is "what is the meaning of life." If you asked Siri the meaning of life she or he will tell you that it's "try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his Oxford or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
- Exodus 20:17 (NIV) Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, some things just happen when they're ready. Whether it's a newborn baby coming into the world, teaching a child to swim or teaching a child at night to not wet the bed in their sleep, it's important to understand. that somethings arrive when they're ready or happen in due time. So don't push too hard, just turn it over to God and create the right behaviors over and over again to help with the outcome. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. If you want to remember what happens today in the distant future, make sure you capture it on film with a camera or video camera. That way you can look back and remember the details of your life and those awesome memories from the best times and some of the difficult times from your life. This weekend I've had the opportunity to watch video and film from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. It's been exciting to see family memories that were some of the best times growing up. So make sure that you create memories and capture them so you can remember them later in life and smile as you reminisce. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. I am very thankful for everything. Being thankful comes from within your heart and then your head. I'm thankful for God's blessings in my life, my wife and children, my family and friends, and my work and my work relationships. What are you thankful for? Jott it down or put it on paper and then make sure you tell those you are thankful for, that you are. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. As a family we celebrate family time. It's a time that we look forward to spending time together and creating special memories. And those memories that we create will help map out our family's best memories. When we look back at the end of our lives it will be these memories that will put big smiles on our wrinkled faces. So make time, set aside some money if needed and make it a priority to create family time. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. No place is perfect, except heaven. Make sure that you understand that if you change jobs or change careers, that no place is perfect. Not the company, not the manager, not your colleagues, and so on. So do what you can to make the place better and be a positive influence for the rbtire team at work. Just make sure you are honest with yourself and that you have taken a good look in the mirror at yourself. Don't give excuses and reasons why you can't. Instead be known for making it happen. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. When is enough, enough? Make sure that you can understand when you ask for too much or you push the limits too far. It's during those times that you can appear self-centered and greedy, Which are both traits that are not considered favorable. The people that know you best should tell you or would hopefully tell you when you're acting this way so you can course correct. Make sure that you surround yourself with people that will give you honest feedback and help you understand when enough is enough. After all,It's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor."
Exodus 20:16 (NIV) Are you comfortable? When you get comfortable you can miss opportunities to grow and become better than you were. Allow yourself to get out of your comfort zone and try something new or experience something different. After all, it's the right thing to do and it models the way for others. |
