    Ought to be like You

    Too many memories made that I just can't get over it as quickly as I wanted. Heck, I don't think I should even get over it.

    Home is where the heart is, but where is my heart?
    I came here wanting to update more but this weather and stomachache is making me lose my focus and words.

    [Edited]

    I was going through my e-mails in my POP folder (I have no idea what that is) and I came across one email my dung dung brother sent me. When he was still all nice and encouraging - now he's so distant and cold (I hope he reads this hehehe).
    Patience and Persistence

    Nothing great is ever accomplished without persistence and patience because, in order to be successful, your dreams must translate into work.

    The people who succeed in life are the people who are willing to do what they don't feel like doing. They are not mastered by their moods, they are mastered by the Master, and they establish their goals and plans according to God's will.

    Eliezer was a great example of patience and persistence. We see his patience in choosing the right woman by making a detailed plan. He didn't make a snap judgment. He wasn't impulsive. The Bible says in Genesis 24:21 (NIV), "Without saying a word, [he] watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey succeed."

    If you are going to really reach your goals in life, sometimes you have to delay gratification. You have to do the tough thing instead of the fun thing, the right thing instead of the pleasurable thing.

    Any goal that's worth achieving is going to have obstacles in the way. You need to have a long-term view so, when difficulties come, you can persevere knowing that you are going to get past it.

    God's timing is perfect and ours is not. When you find yourself in God's waiting room, just be patient and persistent. A God-given vision will always be fulfilled.

    -Rick Warren
    The topics "patience" and "persistence" are always something I've struggled with, I'm sure everyone else too (but this is my blog). Although I like to think that I'm one of the most patient person I know, this particular "patience" is not from the fact that I am really good at tolerating others. This particular "patience" is the ability to tolerate delays and continue doing whatever it is. Like, even if there isn't any visible results, continue waking up early anyway (hardest thing for me to do).

    I've always only wanted things that were instant. I've always been the kind of person who refuse to invest in something that seem unattainable. I've always talked myself out of things - but that is another topic altogether. 


    This e-mail was sent over 2 years ago, which got me reflecting. I like to think that I've grown in certain areas, but I'm pretty sure "patience and persistence" are not part of it. But as we go along from here, I'm feeling hopeful.


    Love, Peace & Uh huh
