After New Year

After all the fancy past event coverage, is time to get back to current time…back to some thought sharing.

For most, New Year’s Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.

However, I cut down this habit many years ago, because it never works for me. Instead, I set my resolutions from time to time as and when I need to. So, here are few resolutions I set my eyes on for this year (until further changes and updates). Ideas are taken from my pastor message on the first 2008 sermon…which I found it so true.

Here is the thought… “Success can be a stumbling block, preventing you from moving on to the next level”.

The more success you are, the more you are afraid of failure, because every step you took will be known by others. Your pride will not allow you to fail. However, staying still in your existing positions wasn’t guaranty more success, but may de-saturate in time.

So, how should we deal with this?

The key is to raise your focus level, faith level and fight level.

Most of us got stuck in the moment…the moment of glory or moment of painful past. We can’t help to compose and decompose the scenario again and again daily, letting the moment from past affecting everything we do daily. Our decision always stays within the comfort zone we gated for ourselves.

It was stated in the bible…
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Year 2008, we can almost certain 101% there will be storm in life. There’s nothing we can’t do to stop it, but to start working from inner self.

1st: Raising our faith level – by believing He would never give anything more than we can take. Trust Him with our challenges and rely on Him for more courage.

2nd: Raising our focus level – by focusing our mind in things that’s important and ensuring it was done right according to His way.

3rd: Raising our fight level – by doing what we should be doing, not what is convenient for us…even if it required us to fight (not physically…please!).

We consciously became ignorance over critical issues in our life, sometime…due to our fear, or maybe due to the amount of effort required to doing it right.

Now, when the year is still young, shall we set your mind upon them and see it pass?

This is the promise…
…for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4
