Life Made Simple - the nuggets

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.

- Steve Jobs


The first twenty years of our lives was honeymoon, generally speaking.
Some people had their honeymoon cut short because of financial reason.
But many of us had the opportunity to go to college or uni.

I myself had 23 years of honeymoon. Well, almost 24 if you include my 10 months stay inside my mum's tummy.

The moment we graduate, suddenly we have countless options, and a new sense of responsibility.

I think 9 out of 10 fresh grads that I meet will tell me at least one of these things
- I am not ready
- I don't know what to do next
- I don't know what I want to do in life
or..
- I guess I will just apply as (insert the profession), what else can I do?

The simple truth is,
We all have options, though not all of us have option of being 'not ready'.

And deep down, we always know what we want to become.
It's the doubt, and fear of losing or risking something, that stop us from following our heart and intuition.

The noise outside is often against the voice inside.
So if you always go by 'majority vote', it's unlikely you'll ever follow your heart.

So.. do consider uncle Steve's words.

This life is too short for us to live somebody else' life.

And remember this simple truth,
Deep down.. you already know what you truly want to become. Period.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
