Movement.

When I look at everything that's happened in the past year and a bit, I realize how fast time passes us by, and how quickly things can change. No matter what we're focused on, or what challenges we're trying to overcome at the time, life doesn't bother waiting for anyone.

I'll never be able to fully answer whether I accomplished all that I wanted to, or if it was all enough. But one thing I can say and truly mean is that I'll never allow myself to be stagnant again. I can count at least five months that I spent spinning my wheels and holding back from opportunities to go forward.

LET'S MOVE.

Footprints In The Sand.

I've never claimed to be a model Christian; I've always been more the black sheep, the prodigal son. But when I accepted Christ in 2003, there was one story that always stuck with me, and one that I've held steadfast to over the years.

A man was walking along the beach with God after his life had ended. As they conversed, the man asked God,

"God, why is it that when I look back at the lowest points of my life, there is only one set of footprints in the sand? Didn't You promise that we would never walk alone, that You would always be with us? Where were You when I needed you most?"

God turned to the man, and with a still voice, simply said,

"My son, there is only one set of footprints because during those times, I was carrying you."

Response.

You know what, I'm not even going to bother taking shots at this girl. I do think she needs a higher collared shirt though, her ignorance is showing. All I have to say is that the lesson here is this;

ONLY ASIANS CAN MAKE FUN OF ASIANS, BUDDY. THANKS FOR COMING.

Vindicated.

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right, swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself.

G.O.A.T.

(Cl)/(R)earview.

Why is change so difficult? It's because oftentimes we are walking towards it while carrying all our baggage. Find the excess weight in your life and check those bags at the door. Don't let that slow you down, and don't bring that into the next chapter of your life. And if you ever need to reminisce, don't turn around; just use the rearview.

When we look back at the path we have taken, will we see the debris as challenges that we've overcome or damage that we've left?

..does it matter?

We are here now, and it's really about picking and choosing your battles. Some are worth fighting for, but others are better off left alone.

The Places We Should Have Gone.

It's been a while since a Wong Fu video has resonated with me, but this one reminds me of why I started following them in high school and why Just Impulse even existed. Filled with deep sappiness; just the way I like it.

What Are Words?

What are words if you really don’t mean them when you say them?

What are words if they’re only for good times, then they're torn?

Real Talk (9).

It seems like everytime I start to question whether I'm heading in the right direction, you always come around and confirm why I chose what I did.

Ironic.

Project RELIGHT (1).

Yesterday was only a step back because I needed momentum for today's leap of faith.

I'm sure there's more to life than this.

Lately I've been working 12, 13 hour days during the week and the wear and tear is starting to show. The burnout has started breeding doubts and got me questioning if this, whatever this is, is all that there is.

So I'm asking God to deliver me from this purposeless, directionless, going-with-the-motions lifestyle that is trying to envelope me. I will accomplish great things in the future, I know it. But first, let me start small;

..Let's get it.
