What vs When

Just an idea came to my mind, people tend to lose hope cause they add the "when" parameter to the "what" they want to achieve or see;

* They worry about the "when" more than the "what".
* When they can't see the "when" they lose vision of the "what".
* They think the "what" is impossible when the "when" is not given.

If we think of anything we have achieved, or anything happened around the world, we will find out that no one ever knew when exactly he will be able to achieve his goal or get his change done. When Edison was trying to invent the bulb, he didn't know when exactly he will see it working in front of his eyes. When you applied for university, you didn't have knowledge when you would graduate, yes, you knew it should take 4 years or so, but, were you so sure this is the time it would take to graduate? You could get sick and miss some exams, and lose a year. You could face trouble with some of the subjects and lose years. You only hoped it will take you the 4 years. And if it didn't, you knew that someday you will make it, cause that's the way it goes!

When God created us, he gave everyone a mission. Everyone has the control to choose his mission, everyone has the control to choose "what" to do (disregarding if that meets God expectations, we can discuss that later). But, God kept to Himself the "when". When He sees you have done what is enough to get your "what", His "when" applies! So, a way or another the "when" is in your control, you have to do everything that is possible and impossible (as you believe at that time) to achieve "what" you chose to do. Do it all, get it all. It is that simple! The thing is that you don't actually KNOW "when" it will happen. It has been covered by God. And I believe God chose to cover it to test our faith in Him. At the moment you get tired, and believe it is impossible to do your "what" you won't really do it, cause God expected more of you. He expected action. He expected faith. If you think it is impossible, it is because of you!

Make up your mind, and leave the 'when" parameter to God. Enjoy your journey, and never stop.

Have a good day :)

What a WONDERFUL world!

On Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Send love, receive love!! This is what I experienced this year. As everyone knows, today happened to be my birthday! And, for my surprise, I got the highest number of birthday wishes ever!! I even got wishes form someones that I never expected they will!! The thing, that NEVER happened before! NO words can tell how happy I felt for those wishes. YOU all made my day :)) Though, I was wondering, why this year specially, what happened, what is the change?!! I kept wondering. Before, yes, I always loved everyone around me, never hated anyone. I know, I was too busy before with the much trouble I lived in. Maybe I didn't have much time to turn to people around me. I know this year was different, I started to concentrate more on people. But, still I don't believe this is the reason why. Later on, after a lot of thinking and wondering and remembering, I remembered that in the past few days, while attending a course for PHE, we did some exercise, an ex...

About Letting Go

They keep telling us that letting go is about forgiving and forgetting. They say when you do forgive and forget you are released from the past, from the abusive relationship, from the ghost of that person hunting you. But, what if you forgive, and forget, and try to move on but still feel stuck in their energy? As if they have octopus arms that keep dragging you back to their being, and there seems no way to escape! Maybe what you have been told all your life is wrong. Maybe in some cases it is not enough to just forgive and forget. Maybe, just maybe, you need to walk one extra mile in their favour so their arms are unwind and you are able run your own life. You believe he/she is a devil, who doesn't deserve good? Maybe they are, but the universe has other plans than having them punished directly for the wrong the did to you. Maybe, they are not as bad as you believe. Maybe, it is all about walking that extra mile to release yourself. It is about you, not about who they are or what...
"Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."
