Had a meeting wid my mentor yday for the first time.. He's a nice guy.. Gave me a few pointers to life, which felt like things that i've been hearing these past few weeks too, juz wanna share it wid u guys.. Hope it helps! :)

Are you satisfied with your life now? If yes, what are you satisfied with? your career? your grades? friends? To assist you in answering this question, think 5yrs back.. 5yrs ago, what was your goal? To grow in God's ways? To get into a uni of your choice? To have a good and reliable network of friends with whom you can share your troubles n joy? To have a good family? To get married with a good job? To get rich? And now.. Are you living it? Are you living the goals u've set yourself 5yrs ago? Was everything just as u wanted it to be?

Are you happy with what you are right now? Do you find joy in whatever you do, or do u detest every minute of life to such an extent that you wished that this is the last stretch of road you have to walk on? Do you find joy in your work?
God told Adam to name every animal he sees, and Adam did it. Did Adam see it as a job? He had to name all the animals that he saw! Imagine if it were you, would you give up immediately? It was because Adam trusted God and His ways, having faith that God was helping him, that gave him joy in his work.
If work pulls you down, may your joy be lifted higher. If life crashes down on you, may the joy of the Lord shine on you. For its when you are trialed, when you are tested, when you are stretched, where you'll be trained.
Some of us know this, many others don't. Is this the reason for us to smile in dirt and sweat? A meaning that grows into a beautiful flower once placed in us? I boldly say YES. Going forth in joy is what i've learnt, helping others is what i'll do, praising God is what i love, Smiling sweetly is what i'll show..

Also learnt about measurement in a whole new concept. If you say you'll work harder? DEFINE harder.. If you say you've been studying till 4am last night, what time exactly did u start? If you said you've studied for 10 hours non stop, did 10hrs worth of information get installed into your head? If you say you want to be rich in future, how rich is rich when you'll never get satisfied?
If you say that you're the world's happiest man, DEFINE happy! Not everything's about quantity, as most of the world believe now. Even rich people die feeling hollow.. Feeling that they've yet to accomplish their goals. Quality time, quality studies, quality goods, quality life.. These are so much more worth being sought after. Life is not just you standing on solid ground, waiting for something to happen. Life is also not like an ocean, for you to be floating about occasionally fishing for food. Life is about stepping into sinking sand learning how to make it solid. Life is about stepping outside our comfort zone, always ready to handle any circumstances.

Start planning now.. What would you want to be 5years from now.. Trust me.. U'll be surprised 5yrs from now.. Feel free to comment..
