Consider them

Everyone is eternally interested in what is in it for them. Not that it is a problem. This is just how people are, you , me, everyone. So why don't we think of what is in it for them? Befits you, Befits me. We can make the world a better place. Because we are in the world, our actions impact the world at large. Even if it only helps one person, the domino effect will go on. Someone has to make the push. Servant hood is not making yourself a slave. You don't have to be a slave. I believe God wants us to serve, not slog. I may not be able to save the world in direct terms. But WE can make the world a better place by spreading the love and joy He gave us. How you do it is your choice. Pray God will show you how.

At times we feel for others and we think they could have been helped in a better way. It's not easy to accept that their way may be the best for them. Who knows what is best. It is beyond definition. I guess we can only consider our own circumstances and decide for ourselves. Can't decide for anyone else. We can try to place ourselves in their shoes, but all we can really do is try, because we are not them we cannot truly understand. Try with all our might, that is the only thing we can do really... i think.

the simple things

There are too many products in the market these days that promise to deliver what you don't need. Yet it is good cos it is something new, something innovative, something to make things a little bit easier, to give you more time on your hands, to enjoy the better things in life. Like, like what?

There is always some experience waiting to be discovered. Something more exciting, a different realm. We are curious, that's why danger appeals to us. For fear is being afraid of the unknown. We fear what we don't know, and what we don't know we cannot foresee the consequences, even for what we know, we still try to push the boundaries, refusing to let precedents stop us from the hope of a breakthrough.

We are the only species that nothing depends on for their survival. We are beings that consume. I cannot think of any species that consume as much as we do. We take and when we give back, we feel as if we are making a contribution. When we stand at the point of nature's perspective. We'll be glad those humans didn't take more than they needed out of greed. Nature has it's amazing way of renewal and regrowth. Give some time. Time will take care of everything. But what we are short of is time. And time- we want to control. We seem to want to control everything. Are we freaks or what?

Well i suppose it is a good thing some people do what they do and other people make up for what those people do. In this age and time, its all about one group of humans balancing out the effects of the over consumption of the other group of humans. Humans giving other humans a purpose in life, a passion to pursue.

God is truly working. For what. I really cannot comprehend. The more I try to comprehend the value of my existence, the more the mind wanders into the far end of the world, never to come back. What will be will be. To be basic and to be secure in the knowledge that basic is best. Just be the best you can be. what else can you do?

Inspiration is a beautiful thing

A series of letters put together has no life other then the meaning it is prescribed to it. Then it becomes a word. And this word becomes so powerful however you choose to look at it by placing it in the middle of a sentence. A construction so marvellous you can put yourself across and make people feel how you feel even without speaking. Better still, having a spectrum of ways to digest a particular sentence makes it all the more spectacular.

Life is worth living when you have meaning.
Search for it, find it, and keep it close to your heart.

May your everyday be filled with meaning, does'nt matter what it is, if the meaning you find in your life benefits the greater good or just keeps you from trouble, well i don't see why not purposefully causing harm is not a good enough meaning to get by.

Who can tell you what is best? Providence has to go with acceptance and acceptance is a personal decision. Between you and God, you can whisper in a crowd to Him, cry when you're alone to Him, you don't have to pray out loud, He knows your thoughts.

How wonderful, How beautiful. Nobody can take this away from us. Nobody can control how we think. But God can inspire us to think differently.

The freedom to be happy

Someone once said that happiness lies not in the destination, but the journey.
One has the freedom to choose to either forfeit their happiness or stay happy in the midst of all circumstance.

How do I make a problem cease to be a problem? It is not a problem unless I see it as so.

Perhaps we sometimes look around us and we are enveloped by fear. Because we ourselves judge others, therefore we fear the judgement of others, thus affecting what we do or not do.

But really, really, really,
should we allow that to happen?

Psychologists like to attribute a fear of something back to one's experience hence we blame that particular experience for causing us to act in such a way that is not beneficial to us.

I wonder, do we have a choice?

If God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of POWER, of LOVE and of a SOUND MIND, can we not act in a way that would be for our welfare?
He give and take away, my heart will choose to say, Blessed be His name.
He has made us to overcome.
In every circumstance, as we strive to please Him and Him alone, we can overcome as we cease to judge and understand that the judgement of mere people cannot overwrite the Good that God has in store for those who obey Him. Now the question that leaves to be answered is: How should we obey Him?

Advertising space

It seemed lucrative enough. Smart enough. Something we should all do cos, why not?
It seems a very plausible idea to generate some income on the side. Might as well!

Until one looks closely at the endorsement of something that you have no control over, and realizes: a mistake it was.

How does one support what you don't condone?
Condone: is to give tacit approval towards something. Even when it simply means just keeping quiet in its presence.

Many opportunists lurk and target those looking for monetary support for their personal causes.

Yet more often than not, commendable causes have the ability to speak for themselves and garner the right sort of support even without the need to so much as to seek.

Rather than letting questionable companies benefit by milking it for all its worth in advertising potential, why not inspire those who truly support the cause to lend a helping hand purely for the sake of true, honest to goodness admiration for the stance?

I'm over drug companies dishing out freebies to healthcare professionals to help get their drugs off the market and into the throats of unsuspecting patients who only have praise for their specialists believing that they're in safe hands of a Doc who knows better than the others in introducing this "miracle" drug for their exclusive use. Later do they know they've been taken as specimens of the animal testing calibre...

On doing the neccessary

Polly put the kettle on,
Suky take it off again.

Polly should know by now that the fourth time Suky takes the kettle off again (without any hint of remorse)and deprive everyone of some much needed hot tea in the cold winter nights, Polly should really do something about it.

Or when is it ever going to end?

For every small slip of the tongue, bears a consequence that can be rather damaging when one starts blowing it into epic proportions that can enhance their position as a victim.

Cleverly, Suky knows that placing herself as a victim can easily attract pity and definitely pull votes of empathy in her desired direction.

But this only works when Polly keeps quiet. Because no one knows the situation better than Polly herself, and, of course, Suky too.

Polly must speak.
and put her claw down in the process...

So all can have tea.

Maybe Suky could put her kettle removing talents to good use somewhere where they can use her expertise... Sure sounds like it will work out better for them all!

Everything in moderation

Why thinking too much may not be good for you?

"May my will forever be, ever more your own."

These lyrics sound it out to me ever so clearly.
Indeed, maybe not being able to top the class (Ever!) does have its advantages (in life) after all...
