.Survival.Success.Significance.

Not a bad Saturday at all. Though i had a disturbed sleep.. thanks to the little king in my house~

Been a crazy week. Never worked this hard before. Makes me question myself all over again. Well, I'll see how it goes...

Today's sermon kicked off the 40 Days of Purpose program in my church... Talked about "What on Earth am i here for?" Some people merely survive on a day-to-day basis, probably out of no choice. Others breathe success like their lives depended on it.

Currently, i think i just want to survive through this period. Success is still something i'm trying to figure out. Hard to define. Harder to answer when questioned. But ultimately, i want to be significant. To know that something happened only because i did it. Woah. That sure feels good when i think about it.

Had a good chat with a good o' friend after service... To be able to share thoughts over a cuppa is one good thing in life. Then talked to this old lady at the bus-stop. In fact, it's the second time i had met her at the bus-stop on a saturday night. She was waiting for her son to finish packing up at their fruit stall at the market. Since my mum runs a veggie stall, we had some common things to talk about. I'm glad i speak my granny's dialect. Old people are so easy to talk to... or at least the ones whom i've met so far. Talking to her is relaxing. Hahaha. Except i got strange stares from these two hip guys in front of me. Oh well, but who cares. She's cute. :) I wana be able to serve the elderly some day.. Or maybe work with them. Surely it'll be less stressful...

"You could reach all your personal goals, becoming a raving success by the world's standard, and still miss the purposes for which God created you."
