Shit happens because Life is a Journey

The distance between you and your desired future is fear. And sometimes life happens. Or God happens. Or shit happens. Or the devil happens, depending on your faith or perspective of life.  You see yourself in the worst case scenario.  You just get enmeshed in those situations you feared the most; those things you dread happening to you just happen. You see fear, you live fear and then fear loses it X factor over you. You dared feared. You reacted to fear. You challenged fear and then you see fear as just another eventuals of life. There are exceptions; those who live in the shadow of fear and this is where the faith factor or perception of life comes to play. When you take responsibility for yourself it is possible to get out of it through self determination and will, but it is also possible to get overwhelmed by the situation and sometimes those type of people give up on life and just live as shadow for the rest of their lives. Life happended to them. Shit just happened and they could not make it themself. The others are the faith people. Those who believe they have a responsibility and duty to God.  They know they have to place their emotional support on a greater power, rely on people and rise up to challenge their fears and circumstances always. Shit happended to them but the bulk just stop at their table. Life could not have  been better had shit not happened. Then through process (because the journey itself is an experience needed at destination) they overcome fear and arrive at their desired end. And in realities such end never comes because in the course of their journey they realised that the end they desired from the beginning was only how far they could see and having come thus far they discovered there are more territories ahead yet to be covered.

The road to self discovery

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?’-Marianne Williamson

The Beautiful Ones are not Yet Born

History is a reminder of feats and exploits of the past. Date and time might sometimes have significant value but what is often crucial is the feat(s) achieved and when such feat is repeated or surpassed another history is written.   The writer of the book of Hebrew simply called those historical feats recorded in the previous chapters (11) as cloud of witnesses (12:1). Those clouds of witnesses are there to remind and urge us on that we can repeat similar feats and even surpass them. The writer summed it up in the last verse that we can do better and those who have gone ahead of us are waiting and urging us to surpass those feats. They will be ridiculed if we cannot surpass them. They would be incomplete if we shrink in comparison to their achievements.  History does not limit us in any form and does not want us to shrink at all from such exploit. All history is about is for us to leverage on those feats and stand on the shoulders of those heroes to see further. History be...

First Follow

Jesus want us to talk about Him, He wants us to lead people to Him. What we tell people about Him must be true. Our act and conduct must show we have had encounter with Him. Talk less and let your conduct show you have had encounter with Him. Now this is the real deal, you can't act it up, you will fail. Don't try to impress anybody because you will become a laughing stock. The only thing you need to do is follow Him. Follow Him until you become like Him. It is a journey and not a hundred meter dash. So don't act up as if you have no weaknesses or failings. People will see you fail and fall but it is how you rise up and follow after every fall and failure that will draw people to Him. Don't act up too holy or too perfect, just follow Him. As you follow, you will get transformed all the way. The more you look at Him and follow, the more your natural tendencies fall off. The more people see Him in you. Acting up make you look too good to b...
