Building a Ship

Why don't we consider love! "Seasons of love" does not mean only now you get loved or love others, but now is the time to know what love can do for us and others. Love is the source of all things, it can drive you, it can cry with you, it can shout for joy with you. Then you have to ask, who is the one who loves us? God is the one, the only one, who can love us to a speechless point, that no one can ever fathom.

So after knowing this, what are we to do?
"It's time now, to sing out, though the story never ends, lets celebrate remember the year in the life that we share. Remember the love, remember the love, remember the love"
Our life continues, so lets sing out and celebrate, for no matter how downhearted or excited you are, someone loves you the same yesterday, today and forever.

This particularly is a very short sharing, nonetheless, it is critical for our everyday lives.

There could be a thousands, millions and billions of things that we know. So the question here is, so what? So what if you know so much? what use is there? Therefore most of us would reply, we know so much because we need a lot to do things we do in our everyday lives. Wonderful! The things we know at least its used for something!

I'm just going to stress on moral values, lessons, etc etc. The very discouraging fact here is, many people now in our world today, we know plenty of moral values. We not just know, but its on our own fingertips. We can easily tell others what to do and why they should not do this and that, but we should reflect on ourselves first and ask, 'I'm i committing hypocrisy, if i tell them not to do it yet i do it?'

We know so much! Yet to a certain extent, we do not apply it. So if we do not apply it, ask yourself again, 'So what knowing so much, its not like we use it anyway?' (after you thought of the answer, come and tell me!) This post applies differently from everyone. Some will feel guilty some will feel good because they know that they are keeping themselves on the right track.

As i said to my friend. 'Rather not say anything than to be a hypocrite.' There are many people in the world who wants to inspire and help others, you and I, yet before we can inspire and help others, make sure that every word that comes out from our mouth is applied by us first.

I'm a school prefect, used to be a assistant head prefect for the afternoon session. When i was younger, during my primary school days, i had great joy fooling around with the prefects. Not fooling around as in hanging out, but like irritating them, basically, kacaoing them from their duty. Until i came up to secondary school, somehow, i became a prefect very unexpectedly. Everything happen so fast that its hard for me to remember why i made the decision to become a prefect. Still, having become the assistant head prefect, i didn't regret taking up that position. Firstly, it made me see things in a different perspective. Secondly, you have power! haha *joking*

So being the assistant head prefect, i put a very considerable amount of effort in it, i wasn't very passionate about it. So where was all my passion? in what things was i passionate about? Honestly, i didn't really know, neither did i realize, or care. That's why i felt that last year was a fun year, full of excitement, but it was very empty.

The situation in the world now, is not about whether we have passion or not. This is because everyone has passion. But the question posted here is, "where does thy passion lie?" It can be in anything ie. studies, work, food, relaxing, or even the things of God. But in the end, wherever you put your passion in, would it be able to get you what you wanted like happiness, joy, satisfaction?

If we do not place our passion in anything, all we will end up doing is beating around the bush. In whatever we do without passion, its also meaning doing things without heart, which also means that although it might be finished and completed, its not a job done well.

Not need to say anymore, ask yourself now, what are you passionate about? Will whatever that you are passionate about give you what you want? and what are your priorities? The highest priority in life should be the thing that you are most passionate about. So if you haven't started asking yourself, quit thinking now, take a short moment, and think about it.

Passion for God, that's where my passion lies

First of all, allow me to define paradigm. It is various patterns or models that one lives by, or a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline. So paradigm shifters are people who dare to make a change, a good change i hope. And paradigm-ers or so i call it, are people who doesn't want to change their paradigm, or mindset.

One day, there was this little child, his mum bought him a balloon, a beautiful one with helium pumped in it. The child was excited, playing with it, pulling it up and down, wow, he had so much fun! But his buttery fingers suddenly gave way. Oh No! the balloon flew higher and higher. The boy starting to express his grumpiness and finally tears starting flowing, drop by drop from his innocent eyes, streaming down his cheeks. The mum quickly took him aside, and said ' hey you! hurry up and say goodbye! the balloon's mum is calling it to go back for dinner! hurry hurry!" the boy, then realizing the balloon was going higher and higher, quickly stretch out his hand and waved goodbye to the balloon. He went back happy, without that guilty and discourage heart.

Who was the paradigm-er and the paradigm shifter? Many times we are like the boy, always one minded, this is this, the balloon is no more, its our fault, then cry. We do not see another way around it, or maybe we never placed any effort to do so. Unlike the little boy's mum, quickly, without hesitation, being paradigm shifter, change the son's paradigm to help him see it in another way, much more pleasing manner.

*WHAT?!* you might be thinking, as how can balloons have a parent. Or why did the mother tell a factual error. But forget those thoughts, its not about the balloon, but its about who we are. So who are you? a paradigm-er or a paradigm shifter? Again you might ask, What's the importance of knowing?

Well, in life, a very true fact is that we tent to focus ourselves onto one direction, one path. Have we ever asked ourselves, is there any better way to go about doing this or that? Especially in school, many clubs, in fact maybe, like to use the word "tradition". Doing the exact same things year after year after year. But its not just doing the exact same things, its the ideas and the way to do it, which is also the same! Not to say that it is wrong or it will surely fail one day, but ask yourself now, Is there a BETTER way to go about doing this? whatever ideas we think of, can never be the best, but it can be worse or better than the original, so that means, in whatever we do, there is always another way about it. Once we understand the importance of moving forward with excellence, we know that we cannot stay in the same mindset, we must continue to push forward. If we do not be a paradigm shifter soon, everything will soon become boring, because its merely a repetition. Now that's what a paradigm shifter is.

Are you one?
