"As a man thinketh in his heart"

King Solomon wrote a proverb which said, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". It's not gender specific, it applies to men and women alike. Simply put, it says, "How you feel about yourself - in your heart of hearts, in the quiet inner recesses of the private and personal you, the thoughts and feelings you have from time to time - THAT IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE! And what YOU think about you is, without doubt, the most important opinion of all. Praise and encouragement from others can certainly benefit your self image, but it is what you think that matters most.

Endurance

I always envy that some people have the endurance muscles. These people are able to exert themselves and go for a very long distances for a period of time.

I guess I really need to train well on my endurance in order to get physically fit. I also need to get my stamina back on track. When it comes to exercising. In fact I would rather do more on my cardio then lifting weights.

I am challenging myself to have a 5KM non-stop run in 30 minutes. Giving myself a one month training on that. I hope that I can overcome the challenge. Not the fastest time tho' but I will increase by time. I seriously need lots of motivation for me to run.

I hope I train well on it. I am focusing more on how to help boost my stamina and learn to endure. And not just endure, but to endure with joy. I must say I stink at endurance, but what I need is just patience and faith at the moment. Well, at least i am still pushing forward so that should count for something right?

September by Daughtry

It's the September month tho'. Dedicate this song to all September babies. :)

Who is "ME"

Who am I?

i am an ordinary guy, an average joe, a freelancer, a music lover, a son , a brother, a friend and a whole slew of other things. do any one of these things define me more than any other?

No.

They work together to make me the magical person that i am. i am just kidding, but honestly each of these parts of me define me.

There is a part of getting older that is amazing, and that is self-actualiztion. realizing that who you are is not dependent on any outside forces. i cannot allow anyone else define my worth and value. i cannot allow others to diminish who and what i am, neither can i allow any of the labels control me. i only wish that i knew this as much when i was in high school when i needed it the most.

i'm not the extraordinary person i know, nor the best son, brother or friend. there is always someone who is a better son, sibling, friend or leader. i know i have my own mission in this life. i know that no matter what people say, think or feel about me that i have a purpose. a calling or a divine nature. i am not perfect, great or even good for that matter, but in the end i am who I am. a man that desire much.

i'm proud to be the person who doesn't really write well or speak good and who always gets in trouble for plowing through life, but i am who i am. at least for now. but i know i will change again, someday.

i love this quote by ralph waldo emerson

" To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment"

It's up to YOU

One song can spark a moment,

One flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest,

One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,

One handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea,

One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change the nation,

One sunbeam lights a room.

One candle wipes out darkness,

One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,

One word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our spirits,

One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,

One heart can know what's true.

One life can make the difference,

You see, it's just up to YOU!

Wondering

While you are reading this, I just want you to think back when you were in high school or after leaving high school. What type of personality did you have? What kind of person you are? Are you a better person or worse?

I've been wondering about this lately because I remember having so much energy and enthusiasm. I remember feeling like I could do anything. However, I have to note some good changes about me that have come with maturity. I guess I am more mellow now and I feel like part of my terrible temper is gone. I am more comfortable with myself and able to control myself better against negativity.

And now, I have decided to stick on being as mellow as possible and as happy I can. I'm enjoying being that now. I enjoy learning how to be a better person, a better son, brother and friend everyday. But I just need to do more. I'm working out on having a better positive outlook as well. I want to work more on my enthusiasm for life and to shine forth my personality.

So, my hope is that I can work on these outlooks and really start to enjoy my life with great passion and enthusiasm. But most of all, I got to be HAPPY about it. That's me and that's what life gonna be. :)

Thoughts About LIFE

A short walk is so difficult,
when no one walks with you.
But a long journey is just like few steps
when you walk with someone
who loves and cares for you.

We always look and care for the person
whom we love the most.
But we fail to look back at those
who love us the most.

Death’s not the greatest loss in life..
The greatest loss is when
relationships die inside us while
we are still alive...

Life is not about the people
who act true to your face..
Its about the people who
remain true behind your back..

Time decides whom you meet in life…
Your heart decides whom you want in life..
but your behavior decides
who will stay in your life...

You can win life by all means..
And Yes.. If you simply avoid two things...
1. COMPARING - with others
2. EXPECTING FOR MORE - from others

Life will eventually be more beautiful!

September 2010

September is really a busy month for me.

Lots and lots of things to do this month.

Work schedule. Datelines to meet.

Not to forget about events, birthdays and weddings that needed to attend.

Festive days of Hari Raya also falls on this month.

Really a pack schedule this month.

But what's best about this month is my BIRTHDAY falls on this month too. :)
