For God-knows-what-reason, I've having this sudden urge to blog at this hour. Just some random thoughts that popped in my head during the day and just wanted it to be expressed in words, to the best of my ability.
First off, the message last week was really something to take with us for the rest of our lives. Those who were there to listen to Pst Paul Scanlon preach, will now know of the 'Frog-Kissing Process'.
When things in life don't go our way and we're forced to take a detour or do something that our heart is not even enthusiastic about, what would be our reaction? This made me recall some random thoughts that popped up of my head when I was still working in Asiasoft, sometime last year 2009..
For a season when "Frog-Kissing" was the right thing to do, people seemed to understand and support you through those times. However, when the need to do so has passed and time to move on, you may find that it has become a habit. You're doing it out of habit, and not because you HAVE TO anymore.
Was my stint in Asiasoft, right from the start, a "frog-kissing process"? Was I really happy? Looking back now, this chapter of life that I went through was actually clouded with happiness which didn't last. Sure for next 6months, I was enjoying it. But I soon began to feel the desire to study. Back then, I was worried about the finances that was needed. I didn't dare to take that step and believe that everything will fall into place. I just continued working until it became a habit. With the inner desire to study getting stronger, I became even more hesitant to take that first step. Why did that happen? Habit.
Fast forward to year 2010, I'm pursuing my studies in the area of my interest now. I'm happy and motivated. Now, I just can't help but wonder why I wasn't bold enough to just go for it? Why were there so many worries that were uncalled for? Now, I have the answer for myself.
Moving on, I've seen a few real life examples of friends losing their jobs & income already. I can't help but wonder again if they are going through the "Frog-kissing" process too. Inside of me, I want to share my thoughts that were running through my mind. I want to let them know that they were meant to move on, gain new experiences and build on a career. Though I've only managed to talk to 2 of them about their ultimate goals and dreams in life, but I'm glad that they are actually doing something to change now. For every opportunity that comes along, I'll seize it to share my 2cents with them.
Valuable life lessons can be learnt anywhere & anytime. I have realised that I've learnt much when I observe people and putting myself in their shoes now. Circumstances do not have to happen to you all the time to make you learn and mature. Being observant and wise to learn from others will be even more beneficial for self-growth. This maturing process is gonna get interesting especially when you start to see society in a different light. Somehow, looking at people's expressions and reactions will tell you quite abit on how they're living their lives from day to day.
End of each day, I will tell myself..
"I still have much to learn."
