Everyone, welcome to my 90th post of my blog! WOOHOO!
Yes, many have reached way above 100, but as for me, I have made it thus far, and I'm glad at it. So welcome to my 90th post, as I recap and unify all 25 lessons that I have previously written. Something I call the unifying lessons to reach the goal of application.
Let us begin a journey that I will embark, shall we?
We all know that life is unfair, but before we can move on, we got to learn how to embrace it and do something about it, rather than just complain and speak, we should use our hands and work the plow (Lesson 8). Now knowing that we got to do something, we also have to know to stay whole and not sway with our character and values. We got to learn integrity, by living our private life the same as our public life, and not be "good here bad there", basically, walk the talk (Lesson 7). Therefore in life, by being whole and having integrity, we got to learn to make our stand, stands on values, stands on politics, stands on religion, stands on the economy, stands on social issues, etc (Lesson 17). Knowing to have integrity and make our stands, we got to first of all accept it, because we have don't even accept it, we cannot live it (Lesson 16). Then after accepting, we got to apply it because acceptance without application is useless (Lesson 11).
In fact, in life, personally, it doesn't suck, but problems and hindrances try to make it suck and we must learn to overcome them (Lesson 2). But if we don't know what drives us to move on, we will only be stagnant in front of the problem, and so we have to identify what drives us (Lesson 5). Now knowing what drives us, we got to place our passion at the right place because everyone is passionate, but its what we are passionate about which counts more (Lesson 10). But even if life now turns out well, we must continue to remain humble, a critical attitude in order to continue learning and to teach and pick others up on their feet (Lesson 23). In the midst of this, never boast about what we have achieved but take it as a blessing and continue to be humble (Lesson 24). But sometimes we are so near yet so far because when we set our priorities and start doing well in certain areas, we end up forgetting the other parts of life (Lesson 13). That is why we need to understand our focus and set our focal points because we have to major and major and minor and minor (Lesson 22).
When we do things, we also have to know that sometimes its not always about the work that needs to be right, but instead it should be our attitude first which needs to be made right (Lesson 4). Once we got our attitude right, that isn't enough, because we got to let it get an A1, so that wherever we go, its the best character for all (Lesson 21). As we aim to reach an excellent character and attitude, we then got to understand that doing things and doing it well, are 2 major differences (Lesson 1), or in other words we got to do things to our best, the very best, and doing the best is indeed being professional in what we do (Lesson 20). But doing this well, will there karma? Is there an opposite reaction? There is nothing to worry, because as long as we do our very best, God will guide and lead us through (Lesson 25).
We also got to change to become paradigm shifters and change mindsets and the way of thinking in a positive way than to sit around and follow norms or "traditions" (Lesson 9). But in the midst of change at home, we still cannot take our parents lightly like a toothbrush (Lesson 3) and we must respect and honour them, all the more so knowing the importance of it in the bible (Lesson 18). Therefore, mean what you say, whether at home, in school or any where else, we have to watch over our use of tongue (Lesson 6). At times, we end up winning, but we must ask, did we really win? Because some people cheat to win, bribe to win, but they don't really end up winning, so when we win, ask ourselves whether we have really won (Lesson 19). But sadly, the world is such that after we have won, be reminded that there is someone out there, who is better than you and strive to improve rather than be discourage and give up (Lesson 15). But we can have the assurance not to be the best, but to have hope in God, so that in whatever we do, as long as it is pleasing and glorifying unto God, we just have to do our part and God will be there for us (Lesson 12).
So all in all, I do all these so that I can change to be a better person and by being a better person I hope to impact others so that others can impact others and it goes on and on, because I do believe that the very little that I do, I and so do you, can make a difference in one's life (Lesson 14). It is said, "I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one"
I'm aiming high, but more importantly, I have to stay high and last long, oh help me God.
Love,
Wai Leem
