Who you are and who you want to be

Being the person you dream to be and the person you are are two different aspects. One is reality and another is a fantasy that has the potential to be a reality. But often times we make decisions that goes on a path away from reality.
Right now Lets focus on three things that shape us.
1. Time
2. Energy
3. Resources

Your time is your life. Every moment you spend your time with someone, it means you are sharing a part of your life with them. Every time you play 6 hours on the computer which means you used 6 hours of your life on the computer. Time is that precious =). Where and who you give your time to gives a statement of who we are and who we would like to be

Your energy comes hand in hand with your time I believe. What effort and energy you are willing to pour in shows it. Like for example if I play basketball and during a match I will play whole heartedly dribbling with my might and skill to pass or get to the basket....you would say " Hey, he is serious in what he does". If I were to do house chores lazily i would say, mopping the floor as if I had no backbone it gives a statement as well...." I am not into house chores ". This is all just an example

Resources. Your money.....wait pssht actually all these are your resources XP which includes your time and energy. How you allocate them somewhat defines who you are.

Scenario~ 
Example, if you claim to be a family person. You love your family but you work hard day and night. Leaving early in the morning and coming back late at night. You earn the big bucks and claim it is to support your family. Yes it is true. You need the money for the family. But see how it contradicts? Family man but works all day. Maybe I should call the person a Working man. See what I did there? You want to be a family man but you allocate your resources somewhere else. Instead of spending time to with your family, you place your money into investments for the future, your time into your work, your energy and effort in how you finish your work to impress the boss hoping for a promotion. But, you miss your child's first basketball match who scored the winning basket, your wife's first sonogram, your parent's birthdays ( they aint gettin' any younger), and so on.

I give you the points you put them in your situations and see whether you are the person who you want to be.  There are many more examples you can come up with.
Keep it sweet and simple.
Peace out~

My Testimony(My Grandmother)

So lately I haven't been updating my blog. I'll tell you why now. After my finals, I had to go to Penang, to visit my ill grandmother. My mother was pestering me and my brother to hurry back afraid she would not make it. My friends could see it in my face that I was troubled. So I did go to Penang with my friends on one Sunday morning. BTW, my grandmother suffered from cancer of the pancreas. Seeing my grandmother... I was in shock, she was so frail and thin. I ask her how was she and she replied " What do you think?" . I said " You look, very thin grandma" and she nodded. She was really weak. The next day she could not speak at all. She had no energy to open her eyes or even utter a word, just moan. My mother was taking care of her for the pass three weeks. I came and helped her out. My mum was teaching me how to take care of her and asked me to do it. Amazingly my grandmother was recovering. The next day she could talk. After that she could read the new...

Relationships are worth restoring

Just to be clear, when I said relationships I did not limit myself to just boyfriend/girlfriend but to every kind of possible relationships in this world. Relationships are always worth restoring. They are what matters most in life. Relationship with God,friends, siblings, with your boss, parents, soul mate, wife, children, etc. They build bridges between each other. If your live as a hermit, live within the shadows, think your are better off alone, then you wont grow. We can only grow in a community where we learn from our mistakes, humble ourselves,....wait getting off point here. Life is all about love. Love is the most powerful thing. We should learn how to love . For me, I would like to be in the ministry of restoring relationships. For those who do not know what ministry means, it means some kind of governing body or main focus in a job. For this case, governing body for restoring relationships. They are worth restoring because every relationship hold opportunities in greatness...

Be silent, and listen

What does it mean to wait, be silent , and listen?   Before I begin, I also be silent and think, whether this would bore you readers .....and then I continue XP  The words silent and listen are usually used in a parallel manner if you noticed. Doing these three things needs patience. There is always a time to be silent and a time to speak . One cannot listen if they are not silent. Sometimes, wisdom does not come from telling people what you know, showing them you are right, proving them wrong, later on to feel all high and mighty. Sometimes wisdom also means to be silent, hear them out, listen to all their wrongs and rights and taking it in. The right time will come to say the right words. Ever heard of.. ." It was the right thing to say, but wrong time to do it"? Yeah it is as you have read it. One can cause unfavourable damage if they keep speaking but on the other hand, one can lose opportunities when they become silent at times when they are needed to be heard. ...
