Lost?
People dont get lost because they dont know where they are; people get lost not knowing where to head to.
Saw this somewhere and it kind of struck me. With a bat. Haha. Not funny. Anyway, it got me thinking. Lets say Im in a jungle. I want to get out and I KNOW i must head north. But how to when I dont have a compass? So whats the difference of not knowing where we are and where to head to?
Im not sure. Isnt the bottomline of it being : Arent you still lost?
Lets see. Lets take it that I know where I am. Im going to graduate. Im going to find a job. Im going out to the working world.
I want to get a good job. I want to earn enough to satisfy my shopping craves (!), to provide my parents with a comfortable life, provide for my sisters esp my youngest, bless the people around me and lastly, to set up a family and lead a comfortable life. However, I have yet to fully decide on what Im going to do, what Im going to work as. For me, it really is taking one step at a time. Is that equivalent to not knowing where to head to?
But so what if you know where to head to? Nothing is for certain isnt it? Economies boom and go into recession, stock prices rise and fall. People dont keep glued to this figures for no reason. It is because of these uncertainties that people always worry, about their future and life.
Yet, isnt it because of these uncertainties that make us stronger? Make us have more faith in ourself? And most importantly, strengthen our faith in God?
The fact is, yes, we need to plan. We need to plan alot of things. How we want to go about doing things, what we want to do, when to do, where to go about doing them, why we want to do them and of course, who we want to plan with. And here in the little red dot, we definitely need to plan financially. HUGE factor.
But its during this planning that we find God, we find ourselves, we find friends that are true, we find our other half, we find love and we find that we are actually really blessed.
Its a choice of whether we want to stay lost and wait for a map to drop down from the sky. Or we find the map, work our way out. No compass? Fret not. There's the sun. It rises from the east and sets in the west doesnt it? Work it out from there then. A maze always have an exit right? That means, there's always a solution. Inevitably there will be dead ends but we are allowed U-turns arent we? =)
This is a super long entry! And it really is a spur-of-the-moment entry. Guess the thought of me graduating soon has made its impact with this exams. Haha.
So. . are you lost?
