New Challenge

The New Challenge

I got a new challenge...but first I must explain that it is nothing like the message that came through my handphone. This one is genuine, and I must say, more thought-provoking.

We had attended a workshop (ya...sob..sob...I still can't go shopping in the afternoons), and there were deep questions we had to answer. One of my friends turned to me and said this..."If you are a pragmatic dreamer...then how will you ever fly? You need to get rid of the chains that bind you to the ground."

Ah...we are back to the oxymoron again...that some cannot fathom. While there is truth in what he says (sadly), I understand where he is coming from. This is the free-spirited person, who is bold enough to keep on trying to push his ideas not matter how many times he gets shot down. But I do worry for him, for its takes a lot out of him to keep his beliefs and passion going. If his wings keep on getting clipped, he'll forget to fly altogher.

While everyone dreams of utopia, it will take a lot more convincing to believe that the ideal state can exist. But like I say,...we can try to be masters of our destiny is we are able to take responsibility of the choices we make.


On a different note....I do realise that there can be things that I cannot control.
My cell...no....make that my 'siao' phone is really out to get me.
Is there anyone out there who can please explain why I get I get the inverted image on my screen? Today, the only way, I can read my messages on my phone is to use a mirror!!! It has also decided to censor and screen who I can receive and send messages to...Oh..oh...I better do backup...it may just decide to obliterate all my stored numbers! If there is anyone out there, whose handphone has a life of its own...do share with me...so that I know I am not alive.


Prayer for Today:
Dear God, I survived the afternoon. I have learnt that sometimes being 'different' can be a really lonely experience. I have come to terms with the decision I have made, and find a meaning for it. Today, I want you to bless a few people who have given me the strength I need. I know my plans will shock some, but please help them understand the reasons why I choose the road I am to take. - Ameen
