Entering 2009

 | 


It has been 10 days into the new year and finally, thoughts about the new year, goals and resolutions are setting in.

Although I am still getting used to the fact the Christmas and New Year is over, and Chinese New Year is round the corner, I still find it hard to adapt in between festive seasons and juggling between my normal life and so many events happening before and after.

So it seems sometimes, that I am standing absolutely still as life spins its wheel or rather, moving off really slowly and comfortably into what is ahead for me.

Usually when this happens, I enjoy a little self reflection as I look upon my life from a third's person point of view. I evaluate, I see how things can be better, I do some scary truthful realizations and try.. really try to work on it.

In doing so, I realized that I am not a resolution kind of person. In lieu of my own belief that I am a maverick, I personally believe that resolutions are just another time to follow the crowd and make hopes and wishes which will sooner or later be broken.

However, I believe that instead of making resolutions, I am that sort of person that makes reasonable short term goals. Because I believe, there is the focus and the anticipation of the satisfaction that awaits for me after I am accomplished my goal.

Currently, one of my short term goals is to start thinking of what I should do for my 21st birthday. More on this along the weeks to come, but most importantly, my goal is to do well for my exams.

Somehow, there is a strange hunger and desire to excel in my exams. It might have arose from my previous failure during my A levels. Honestly, I am not so sure myself. But I do know that excelling in my studies is not just an act to prove a point that I am a failure, but to give God my very best in whatever I do.

Hence here am I, regurgitating my thoughts in probably a very unorganized manner (pity for you all ha!). At least, I know that God has spoken to me through many people about one thing I should do about 2009:

Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.
