Priorities in Life

Have you come across a time in your life when you question your priorities in life? i did. and it's happening now. Previously my priorities in life would be studies, lifestyle that bring glory to GOD, friends, girls and hobbies. Now i'm in a midst of evaluating my current priorities. Certain Priorities does it worth it to continue to hold on to it?

i'm a bit worry for i'll be entering into corporate working world by end of this year. Some of my friends have no problem adapting into the working world as their motivation is driven by money. That may causes them to have a high level of tolerance and patiences even though they are being Boikot by their colloueges and sclded by their superiors till the max.

i'm expecting to be scolded and given bad comments by my upper managements if i ever can't perform till the best. But i have doubts in my ability/effeciency in adapting into the corporate working world. Another priority that i need to improve is my lifestyle that reflects GOD's glory. i can't do alone but yet it seems like there is none that will be available for support and encouragements. What a sad case? Maybe it's a good thing as this may encourage me to be independent and relying on GOD instead of Human being as mankind are all the time imperfect.

it's good be evaluating your priorities from time to time as priorities may shape your future. What you sow now is what you reap in the future. Be careful of your priorities. Sometimes you may not know your priorities as you have been doing unknowingly in your subconscious. Stay alert at all times.

Very Funny

FEAR NOT for GOD is always close to you.

"...Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" -Matthew 8:26

"I have so many fears, Doctor," said the college-age woman to her therapist. She continued, "I listen to the news and hear about crimes, violence, hatred and war, and the whole thing gets my stomache in knots! I am anxious when I leave the house, a nervous wreck driving my car, I constantly worry about what diseases I might have, and I feel insecure about what the future holds.
"

The therapist nodded his head knowingly, and after jotting a few sentences in his notebook, replied, "Is this how you want to live your life, in fear?"

"Of course not," snapped the young woman as she cleared her throat in indignation."Then why are you chosing to invite fear into your life," he asked.

"Invite?" shouted the woman, "I never asked for it to be a dominant force in my life. It just IS, and I have no control over it!"

The psychiatrist smiled and stated, "You may not be fully aware of it, but we all have control over what thoughts we allow to remain in our mind. Your fear may start off as a sudden thought, but the longer that fear-thought remains, the greater risk you have of it starting to affect you physically and emotionally.

Before you know it, you start to feel anxious, then your belly gets knotted, and, well, you know the rest of the story."The young woman let out a sigh.The therapist continued, "Our brain is a wonderful and complex organ.

While it is great to use our intellect, it is important to not be so creative of mind that we scare ourselves to bits by imagining all sorts of mostly unrealistic and frightening scenarios or maladies." He continued, "I notice you wear a cross."

"Yes," said the young lady as she tightly grasped her necklace, "My faith in God is very important to me."

"So, because you have faith in God, I guess that means you trust Him, correct?"
replied the therapist as he fiddled with the pen in his hand.

"Well, yes," said the woman quietly.

"Good!" said the therapist gleefully.

"Then next time you are feeling fearful, remember that faith, and trust God."

MAD COW

Matt was driving along a country road and noticed that a number of the cows in the field beside the road were lined up looking at the fence. Every now and then one of the cows would charge the fence menacingly. Usually we think of cows as contented and laid back. What was holding their attention and provoking such fear? What was raising their hackles? A dog? A deer (also frequently present along that road)?

Then Matt laughed. Their fearsome stalker was a madcap paper bag, being blown along the fence randomly with the wind. They were mad cows-but not the kind you're thinking of. They must have though the bag was alive.

How often do we chase after, charge at and ultimately suffer much stress over items that turn out to be no more than empty paper bags flitting in the wind? Sometimes we call them straw men: things we think we have to battle, but we really don't.

The first one Matt think of is bad drivers. Now, yes, we need to drive defensively and be on the lookout for other drivers doing stupid things. But since we all do stupid things on the road occasionally, when someone makes a turn without making a signal or speeds up while you are passing, let it go! Don't fume for two miles.

Then there are those who worry so much about health, diet, and exercise they make themselves sick. Yes, these are all valid worries: but I am struck by how often those who are super careful about what they eat, staying trim, and following the latest health guru-then succumb unfortunately and tragically to cancer or heart disease.

There is the empty bag of worrying excessively about self. My schedule. My priorities. My family. My goals. How much I've had to suffer. Such persons are always first to tell their stories. Whether married or single, we need to learn the give and take of considering the needs of others as at least important as our own.

One of the most famous singles who ever lived has some good advice for us along these lines: "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" (Jesus, circa 30 A.D. Matthew 5: 26-27)

This is not to encourage irresponsibility. Of course we have to work, drive defensively, be careful to avoid litigation, take due care about our reputations, and so on.
But just remember that God was watching those anxious, angry cows along the fence row, too. If God cares about some silly cows, how much more does God care about you and me?

Focus on GOD

There was a story about a couple who is John and Janice that is on a journey bringing a donkey from their village to the town to sell it. In the begining of the journey,this couple were walking side by side with the donkey. Some passer by saw it and says that they were stupid for not riding the donkey since they are going to sell it off.

So John sit on the donkey while the Janice walk on the side. As they were walking, another passerby had seen them on the things that this couple are doing and the passerby says that John doesn't love the wife as he is letting his wife to walk and suffer while he is sitting comfortably on the donkey. So the John take turn to walk while his wife is sitting on the donkey.

As they were walking nicely towards the town, they meet up with some passers by. This time, the passers by says that Janice is torturing the donkey by sitting on it. As the couple were feeling bad for the donkey, they change their position by carrying the donkey on their shoulder.

When they thought that they are doing the right thing, another passers by says that they are extraordinaryly stupid for carrying an animal, while you as a human have the authority over the animals. It should be another way round, that the couple should be riding the donkey to the town and not the other way round.

Human being are a UNIQUE creature. Everyone had their own thinking and understanding and acceptance and needs. It is pointless to put effort to satisfy Human Being. Whatever you do, there will always be someone out there that will always go against your action and decision. Human Being should fulfill their responsibilities on earth and continue to do GOOD deeds.

Mankind could extinct in the future. Earth will probably not last long. There is no limit in earning Money and we can finish spending our money in a split second. Relationship can break at any times. It seems like nothing last forever. But there are 2 thing that will last for eternity; Heaven and Hell.

GOD's Love is unlimited for his children. GOD and Jesus Christ never fail to fullfil his promise to us. So why wanna satisfy Human Being when they can failed you at anytime, at anywhere, at any costs? It is always the smarter choice to focus your life, objective around GOD. Always maintain a moderation while an extremist with a wrong thoughts will become a disaster.

My Memories.

Good memories is great to have it. Life without Memories is so dead. Some of the Good memories are so nice to have and it is great to be kept inside our heart. Some of the things are not meant to be exposed out.

Looking back at the memories, it feels like it just happen yesterday. it's like "it is so near, yet it seems so far away". when the Memories is sweet, we wish and hope that it will stay everlasting in our heart.

Sometimes i do wish that time will stop at this particular second so that we may enjoy this particular time. But too bad, when that sweet time arrive, it will leave without obtaining our permission. No matter how badly i wish time will freeze at this moment, it will leave us. Whatever is done, let it be done.

Since we can't stop the time, we can captured sweet memories in Photos. Thanks to the creator of Camera. Lol....

Can you spot "The One"? All so serious. Natural is good. Things that happen secara semula jadi is good.

But when Nightmare Memories happen, what can we do to cope with it? Bad Memories about the mistakes we did in the past. What can i do to change and make things right? Bad memories will generate Guilt in us that ultimately will lead us to suicidal when we didn't manage it properly.

Have you experience before that no one come to your aid in time of Distress? Even our Heavenly Father didn't answer our call of distress? Like what happen to JOB???? it is scary. and i can assure you that you will wish you would rather not being born into this Earth.

Love.

People always misunderstand in between Love a person and Like a Person. That is what is happening with Homosexuals for being confused between Love and Like. What a Sad Case?

As it is written in Bible(1 Corinthians 13:4-7), Love is patient, Love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

So what about Like? Like is just a feel good feelings to another person with no communication problem while the friendship grow to be better and better. We may like a person, but that doesn't mean that we need to be with that particular person forever.

But when you Love a person, all that you will think about is Sacrificing your time and everything SMARTLY, but NOT BLINDLY for that person. Just like your Mum put in all her time in taking care of you because of Love.

i guess the best way to check whether are you in love with the person or not is ask yourself whether are you willing to spend your time and everything with her SMARTLY, but NOT BLINDLY or not.

A matured person will not do things according to EMOTION. Have you meet up before some people that always do things according to EMOTION? For example, when they feel good to study, then they will study. When they feel good to have dinner with family, then they will have dinner with family. A matured Person will do things because of Responsibility.

Feelings is important but Not everything. i do agree that in a relationship, feelings is important. But does that mean that when both have no more feelings, they need to break up? Feelings doesn't happen in a blink of an eye. It need works.

So a feelings is like a Fire on a Stove. There will be a time when the gas tank will run out of gas and can't produce anymore fire. So when the Gas is dying down soon, it is time to do something to replace the gas tank and so that the fire can continue to go on. So whenever a feelings seems like almost gone, please do something to spur up the relationship and fire up the relationship again.

A friend of mine send me an E-Mail before about some special Quotes. I like one of it. It stated that "Never Explain Yourself to Anyone. Because the one that likes you doesn't need it, and the person that hates you won't believe it". I feel that it is quite true. Sometimes explanation is pointless if the other party doesn't trust you. But nevertheless, we still need to make explanation sometimes to a certain group of people only.

Branded Self.

Since young, we have been exposed to branded things when we follow our parents for shopping and through other medias such as TV and Internet. We Subconciously think that BRANDED things is good and symbolized a very important status, Pride and Dignity. but have you ever think before that the truth is that it is actually we, as the Human Being are making the lifeless things to be BRANDED, not that the branded things make us look BRANDED.

Look at all the Hollywood, Bollywood and Hong Kong artist and celebraties. It is them that make the LIFELESS THINGS to be BRANDED and famous. The thing that i want to say is that when we are famous or full of confidence or Have Plenty of Knowledge, whatever we wear and how we dress up will looks cool and great even if the clothes are not BRANDED.


So i disagree in idolising BRANDED things. Some people really had no self-controlled and keep on persisting in buying BRANDED things. Cars is another good example where MAN are dying to get an expensice car as they thought that an expensive car Symbolized a high status and rich. They thought that people didn't know that their "EXPENSIVE CARS" are being bought by car installement with more than 7 years car loans. These kind of people are so Naive. They know that their financial status can't allowed them to get an expensive cars, but yet, they still go for it for the name of PRIDE and EGOISM. This kind of thinking is so silly and Naive.

Which kind of people do you think have a higher Assets and Properties? 1st group of people do not have expensive cars and BRANDED things, but always go to exotic places for holidays and to see more things at the other of the world and every year have at least 5 to 10 trips to other countries. 2nd group of people have some BRANDED things and 1 Expensive cars, but can't even afford a trip to other countries for more than 10years due to multiple loans and credits burden.

So which 1 do you think is better? Which 1 do you want to be? The 1st group with less Loan Burden and less So-Called BRANDED things but manage to go for holidays every now and then. or the 2nd group of people that keep on buying BRANDED things to make himself or herself to "LOOKS" more confidence.

Time is Valuable.

When i see this picture, i was astonished by the statement. i kind of like the statement. Your time is important and so does mine. i don't mind spending some quality time with the one i truely Love. But when the other 1 does not appreciate you anymore, then it would be no point giving your precious time to that particular person.


I learn a valuable lesson. Friendship requires both parties effort. I do appreaciate every single minutes in my life which is given by Our Heavenly Father. Wake up from the Dream because it is the time now to chase the Dream.


i Dream and hope and wish to found the 1 that i truely Love. but life is not just about romance and love only. There is still a lot of meaningful things to do in our life. Cheering up other people, caring for some1 else, building up our career, aiming to go to other poor places to do charity works or creating and inventing some new stuff. We can go extra miles and further with Love.


i do understand that life sometimes is so dead without Love inside. because i Personally experience that before = A Life Without LOVE. and it is very scary. It is like a nightmare. but thank GOD that it is only for a short period of time only. So i truely understand the feelings of a life without LOVE. Life without LOVE is like a world where everything is Grey. Thank GOD i manage to get out from this kind of situation in a very short time.


Time is Valuable and that is why when i see some the things will not bear any fruits even if i put my time into it, then i'll quit that particular things. So sometimes you will see that in the 1st place i'm motivated to do certain things. but half way through, i seems like on the way of giving up to do that thing or drifting away. it is not that i'm a loser, but i see that there is no bright future or positive results even if i continue to pursue the thing or person.
