Seeing people where they are surprises me. Those who have hold on to their belief and has such black and white view of the world now becomes so flexible as if rainbow come out from his mouth when discussing things. He who used to sell "manggoes" now selling stores. She who use to sell duck's egg now a CEO. Who would have think that a high school student can become a CEO?
Who would think bumble bee could fly if no one ever seen it flying.
So what is odds? Is it unsupporting data of now? Is it our past reference?
The beauty of life is that
1. Our past is not our future
2. Our future is not something we can predict
I am not saying that we should forget about planning. I am merely saying that there are times we need to strike balance between seeing the odds of the future and to focus on little things that makes a different now. Cause when the time comes we might surprise ourself on how ready we are on taking the odds. The odds seems to even out at the end.
All things are not started tomorrow but NOW. Right at our very own mindset.

A Shot of Happiness
In life we make mistakes, some decided to carry all the guilt and let it weigh them down. Smile seems to be a burden, sorrow becomes best friends, addiction to pain and punishment becomes a habit. Life never feel the same anymore.
Amazing how a mistake that has been done and over with has haunted people to make another mistake, a mistake of not enjoying the life that the Lord has given to us.
Well I was not exempted with this pain punishing exercise until one day I realized, God did not create me to suffer, God did not want me to be unproductive there was a reason I took that decision either I was not wise enough, not patient enough, not skill enough or other things. Instead of dwelling with the past I decided to take the lesson, share with the young ones on how to handle mistakes and move on.
Take the lesson
Repent
Forgive yourself
Not do the same mistake
Give a shot of happiness
Everyone has the right to have a shot in happiness and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
In this new year, it is time to raise up again, dust yourself off and grab that happiness you've been longing for.
Your punishment has been lifted, the Lord never hold grudge cause it simply not His way.

Captain of our destiny
3 Days ago I was giving training on timeline. It took me by surprise that not many of my students has the ability to see more than 2-3 years in the future. One comment even say that I only work on what's coming to me.
If I do the same thing this year and the next year and the year after that would there be any changes to my carreer? Would there be any new set of skills you have encountered during those time - most likely not. Doing things base on responsive behaviour most probably would make us do the whole circle before pin pointing the place we wanna be. Excessive energy and agony during the process.
Why not doing it proactively?
Why not think 5 years from now what do I want and from there what skills do I need to support that? Instead of engineering our life by accident.
It is funny how I was once like that also. There just so many plans and all fall flat. Instead of thinking harder not to fall after planning, I decided to take whatever comes and see the skills I got from there. I end up with numerous skills that doesn't serve my purpose being here. I become the busiest people with no exact aim, I was overwhelm.
I have done the machine gun approached as to a sniper one - one shot one killed.
A sniper plan the target, took the time (be patient), have the skill and boom there goes the target. Using machine gun makes a lot of noise some got killed but you never really know which bullet that cause this and not sure how to repeat it (dumb luck), what you have is all this busy sound on your head.
Engineering our own life is the best part of being human it's just a pity some of us put this part to the environment,to other people, to situation or to condition.
I would rather put my faith in my decision than to my circumstances.
So, what are you waiting for.
Think of something you want to accomplish within 5 years?
What efforts do you need?
What barriers that might come up?
What skills do you need to accomplish this?
All things are created twice in our mind and in reality. If we can't picture it or imagining it, which is the most easiest part of the whole process, would we even go through the perseverance and the discipline part?
By doing planning, we become a person who's thriving for accomplishment full of hope and faith instead of being a person who's striving on daily basis and not sure where to go, like a boat without a rotor in an open sea waiting for mercy of the wave to bring back to the island.
Let us become the captain of our own ship! Grab the rotor for God sake!
