Living for a new tomorrow.

Great message...

this week's sermon really impacted my life.. hee..

i really felt that the message is really true.. we really got to work towards maturity.. and maturity takes time.. it's not just a one time event.. it's a process.. even if along the way.. it seems so difficult.. hang on.. new breakthroughs are one the way..

and i felt that team work is really important.. alone.. we can't accomplish much.. but in a team.. the amount that we can accomplish are multiplied... hee..

what really speaks to my heart is this part.. it's about attitude..

everytime we got to hold fast to our hope without wavering.. when circumstances are difficult.. choose to be positive.. and believe.. mark 9:23 says "all things are possible to him who believes." everything starts with a great attitude.. if you live your life full of negative thoughts.. then your life will be miserable.. as you will sub-consciously work towards what you believe in.. so if you believe you are a failure.. you can't succeed.. so choose to be positive in everything you do. whatever you do, believe, and it will come to pass.. you might be emotional at times.. but you can choose to control it.. you can tell yourself to make a decision to think differently.. choose to think positive..

everytime when problem comes.. face it.. don't try to avoid it.. in order to live a truly victorious life, you got to learn how to solve different kind of problems in your life. even if you choose to avoid it now.. you still need to face it in e future.. as there might be a flaw in you in that area.. if you don't deal with it.. the problem will still be there with you.. so learn to solve it.. you need to have a breakthrough here..

then besides that.. we got to really help one another.. and not just me, me and me alone.. but really need to help others also.. learn to think of others and not just yourself.. think things like what can i do to bless someone around me.. don't be self-centered.. don't always think about yourself only. if you focus on yourself.. you'll never grow. we have to change our attitude. be like Jesus: an attitude of serving willingly..

and in life.. learn to smile.. stop complaining.. be positive.. things will turn out better. for me, sometimes i'll always tend to focus on what i don't have.. so end up i'll hear myself complaining about this about that... hee.. during cell group.. the message just hit me.. i have to take away this lousy attitude. instead of focusing what i don't have.. think i different perspective.. focus one what you have right now.. what the Lord had blessed you with..

though i don't have enough money.. but i choose to focus on God.. He's my provider.. He'll bless me with great blessing that i won't have enough room to receive it.. i own alot of things others don't.. my life is much better.. much more blessed than alot of people... i felt that my life is really happier..

instead of finding the negative things to talk about.. why not choose the positive to talk?? nothing is perfect in this world.. but why always talk about negative stuff.. isn't there alot of positive things to talk about also?? learn to be thankful.. don't always complain..

in all circumstances.. praise the Lord.. even if things reallt turn out sooooooo bad.. for me.. i want to choose to praise God.. as He gave me a chance for me to grow stronger. when things don't turn out what i expected to me.. i still want to praise God.. as i know from there.. i learnt to be wiser.. i learnt to deal with this kind of problem better..

if you keep complaining and complaining.. you can't learn from it.. for me.. i will learn to complain less .. as i know if i continue to have this kind of bad attitude in me.. it will not only affect myself.. but the people around me.. my friends, relatives, etc.

for example.. last time when exam comes.. i will always complain... "aiyoh.. why the paper is soooooo difficult.. the teacher sure want to give us a hard time.." but later i realise.. teacher give us difficult papers.. they really cared about us.. they want us to learn from mistakes.. next time we can deal with these diffcult questions le.. i felt that i can learn better than papers that are super easy..

what's the point of scoring high marks and you actually learnt nothing.. coming to school is not about grades.. it's about what have you learnt.. i really learnt this in a hard way.. hehe.. that's during my O's... cause i scored super bad for my mid year and prelims.. then i was quite "complainy" that time.. hee..

anyway.. choose to have a beautiful attitude... if you need to change the attitude.. change now.. don't wait till it's too late... :)

i hope that this will benefit you.. hee.. cause this message really impacted my life alot.. after cell group that day.. i realised that i really complain quite alot at times.. i'll tend to complain about the same thing to different people.. hee.. sounded so bad rite.. hee.. but i learnt to be more positive.. now.. i'm less "complainy" le... :)
