People live their entire lives in order to fill their heads.
Make rules. Your life depends on the rules you make.

Ephesians 4:15
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

People work hard their entire lives in order to fill their heads

People work hard their entire lives in order to fill their heads, or moreover, to fulfill what their hearts and thoughts want.

However, no matter how much people fill their heads and live fulfilling what their hearts and thoughts want, there is no satisfaction for people’s brains, thoughts, or state of mind.

This is the case with eating. If each person was given one piece of bread as a snack, they would say, “I really wish I could eat two. I would be satisfied then.” But if they were given a second piece, then they still wouldn’t be satisfied and would say, “If I could eat three, I would be full and it would be great.”

This is the case with money, too. Even if you earn more, there is no satisfaction. At first you might say, “I wish I could make this much, then I’d be satisfied and wouldn’t want anything more.” But then once you make that much, you’ll say, “I’ll be satisfied only when I make more.”

This is also the case with your house. At first you’d say, “If I could just get out of this straw-thatched roof house, I wouldn’t want anything more. It would be Heaven. If I just had my own space, I’d be satisfied. Even if it’s small, if I could just have my own house, I’d be satisfied.” But then once you get out of the straw-thatched roof house, have your own space, and get your own house even if it’s small, you still won’t be satisfied, and you’ll say, “I’d be satisfied if it was a bigger house.” And then later, you’ll say, “I’d be satisfied if my house was like a palace. I’m envious of the people who live in houses that are like palaces.”

And regarding a person, you’d say, “I’d be satisfied if I could just see his face.” But then once you are shown his face, you say, “I’d be satisfied if I could talk to him.” And then once you have a conversation with him, you say, “I’d be satisfied if I could eat with him.” However, you won’t be satisfied at that point, either. You will have more and more things that you want. People’s hearts and psychology are like this.

 

Live according to the rules you set

In order to fill their heads and fulfill what they want, people live making all kinds of efforts and putting in hard work. However, even after they fulfill those things, they still won’t be satisfied at that point.

Therefore, people need to live setting a “limit”. Once they reach their limit, they should say, “I’m satisfied,” and live sticking with that. In other words, you should be the one setting rules in your life and living that way. You should live according to those rules, and be satisfied about them. Then you will be full of joy.

Whether the wake-up time is 6am, 5am, 4am, or 3am, people are not satisfied with how much they’ve slept. They want to sleep more. They really want to sleep even for just 5 more minutes, 10 more minutes, or 20 more minutes. Regardless of what time people set their wake-up time as, people’s psychology is such that they want to get more sleep and be more comfortable. Even if you sleep until 8am, once you get up, you want to sleep 5 more minutes, 10 more minutes, or 20 more minutes. And then when someone wakes you up, or an alarm rings, you say, “Let me sleep for just 5 more minutes and then get up.”

Set rules from the beginning, then you will want to do things according to the rules you have set.

 

Fill yourself with God’s head for eternal things

From God’s point of view, the size of a human head is like the size of an acorn cap or the size of a coffee cup. People try to fill their heads throughout their entire lifetime, but they eventually die without being able to fill such small heads.

The process of filling your head throughout your entire lifetime is like this: a person who was sleeping until 4am now sleeps until 5am, according to his wishes, but then he is not satisfied with that, so he sleeps until 6am. Again, he is not satisfied, so he sleeps until 7am, but he still wants to sleep more, so he sleeps until 8am, and then 9am. Then he becomes 90 years old and dies. In the end, nothing remains.

You should fill yourself with God’s head for eternal things. Then things will remain forever, and you will enjoy eternal love and joy.

Those who live using the tricks of their own thoughts are like a dung beetle living in joy while rolling a ball of dung. A dung beetle keeps rolling cow manure, but where would they use it after rolling the dung and making it big? It’s all useless from people’s point of view. The same is true with those who use tricks before God. While trying to fill up their heads with tricks, their youth passes by and their entire lives pass by. In the end, they die without being able to even fill their small heads.

When valuable things are given to people, they don’t know the value at first and lose them instead. Only afterwards do they come to know the value and have regrets. But it is difficult to gain that valuable thing again.

Everyone lives to fill up their heads that are like a coffee cup. Such a life has nothing to do with saving your spirit whatsoever. There is no end if you only try to live comfortably while filling your head. Even if you continue to fill it, there is no satisfaction. So, realize your psychology, heart, and thoughts and control them! Otherwise, your life becomes a life in which you fall asleep while lying down, and a life in which you struggle and die while trying to fill up your small head so that you can be comfortable.

 

Live your life setting rules well

Your life depends on how you set your rules. It is good to set many rules so that you can be aware of them and take action.

If we make a rule and take action, God will also work and bless us according to that rule. If you make a rule and follow it, even if things don’t work out as you expect, you will surely achieve success!

You should make good rules and make a lot of rules. Only then can you gain a lot when God blesses you.

People live with two types of satisfaction. First, they live with the satisfaction of doing more to prosper, and second, they live with the satisfaction of doing less to be comfortable. There is no end to doing more, and there is no end to doing less either.

People work so hard their whole lives to fill their heads, but they die without being able to fill their heads that are as small as a coffee mug.

Even if you feel like you have filled your life with many things, nothing remains in the end. Fill yourself with God’s head for the sake of eternal things! Then things will remain forever, so you will enjoy eternal love and joy!

God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son do everything for us. And what we do is to gain things in our lives. This is like Them catching all the animals in the mountains for us, and us doing all the eating. That is why you are told to give glory through love and thanksgiving to the Holy Trinity.

 

What is love and thanksgiving?

It is to love the Holy Trinity and live according to Their Will.

Should you love and give thanks only with your lips?

 

People live their entire lifetime to fill their heads. If you only try to live comfortably while filling your head, there will be no end. While trying to fill your small head, all your youth and your whole life will pass. Become united with the Lord and live setting rules. The rules you set determine the outcome. Make a lot of rules, recognize them, and take action.
