What Does It Mean To Me

I think this means to not worry and to trust in God that your needs will be met, but only if one believes in the Lord.

I think the meaning of this is what it says. You get what you give. Whatever you do will always affect you and who you are.

basically says that if your faith is not strong enough to go through a little challenging then it could

This quote comes into play while Janie and Tea Cake are in the Glades getting ready to leave because of a hurricane. At this point Janie and Tea Cake have waited to late to leave and are trying to decide if they want to try and beat the water or just stay there. I found this quote important because it ties the title of the book in with the situations that occur in the book. They are sitting there and despite the situation around them they can still find security within each other and God.

For me this quote means that you always have to be the best version of yourself, and that in life there will always be sacrificces in order to be succesful.

He is trying to describe that life is short and in the end everything has an ending, the people, the buildings, the wealth, etc. There is no meaning to life if you as an individual don’t give it

He argues that it is man’s responsibility to use this freedom to search for knowledge and enlightenment in order to get higher. It sounds as if he was saying God would be happier to see man reach perfection and would even admire man for being the creature who works on the creation of God the architect, and bring about changes.

In the book called, “Oh the Places You’ll Go!” Written by Dr. Suess; the message he is trying to explain is that we have to make it our day to shine, you might not find a path right away that you're supposed to go on, but you will make your own special path that's fit just for you. However, there's going to be bumps in that path; people will leave you when they see you struggle. Sometimes, you will not want to get back up again.You will be frustrated and you’ll be in dark places that you won't ever want to be in, but, you have to keep pushing forward. You must push forward in order to get out. In the end it all works out, everything happens for a reason and it's your time to go move mountains, inspire others, inspire the world!

At this time, the author maintains, we have two kinds of lives. There is the natural life and the spiritual life and they are opposed to each other. The natural life knows that if the spiritual life got a hold of it, all its self-centeredness and its self-will would be killed. Therefore, it fights for its life. The author compares this to a child who tries to bring to life his toy tin soldier, but the toy soldier did not want to be alive. So, just like us, it would rebel. Because the toy soldier likes the tin, he would think that you are killing him if you tried to change him. Similarly, man has some things about him that he likes, and probably wants to keep. He, too, may become obstinate even if God tried to change him. The author explains, however, that God sent this one man through whom all other men could become a Son of God, and the natural man would have to change for this process to take place. Man could resist, but the opportunity is still there for

Therefore, it is better to fulfill one 's own purpose than that of the creator. But also in the book it discusses how people do not agree with creating one’s own purpose. They think that if they create their own purpose then that means that their life meaning is not as meaningful. I do agree with this to some extent but I also think that we know ourselves the best and if we create our own life meaning it can be the most fulfilling. A quote from this chapter is, “What matters is not necessarily what the inventor had in mind, but the uses or purposes the innovation actually has” (p.12). So this quote is saying that for example the predetermined meaning of humans is not really important at all. It is what purposes a human can bring about in this world.

The book seems to be the wisdom of experience coming from someone looking back and reflecting on their life and wishing to warn the next generation. To advise the reader or listener that whatever their earthly pursuit outside of God will end in emptiness, even disaster, but then calls the individual back to hope if the focus is on living for Him.

While the main takeaway from this passage is that we should plant seeds in every single person we meet, no matter what they’ve done or what we, as humans, think about their lifestyle, that’s not the only thing I take away from it. One of my other takeaways is that God is omnipotent, there is no higher power which ultimately points to the fact that everything happens for a reason and for His purpose. Along with Him being omnipotent He is also omnipresent, essentially meaning that no matter what life seems to “throw your way” He is always in control and always there with you. You are never alone when going through any circumstance, no matter how impossible it seems to get through it all that is needed is for you to turn to Him and He will provide

What does this mean in terms of our personal lives or needs? What does this mean to me, the writer, personally? To be honest I am not sure. My upbringing and moral codes tells me

This quotation is saying that God created everything about us and not only is linked with the point of view above saying that God has already planned out our lives but is also linked with the idea that God created us and chose when we were born so he should

Life is a complicated twist of suffering, laughing, and learning all merging to tell a great story - or great many stories. Based on this view, "it is not the end goal or outcome of life that gives life meaning but rather the quality of the story, the quality with which one lives out and develops his or her role."
