It's my fourth day at work haha
It's an admin job in an insurance company, 10 minutes walk from Boon Keng station.
I feel that it's time for me to work, to start moving my "wheels" because they were rusty once. Thank God they've been "oiled" again. But what's the big deal, if I'm not gonna move them anyway?
Anyway, I've just found out lately how lazy and irresponsible I can become or rather am.
Work starts at 8 30am means I have to wake up at 6am plus.
Came home late at night from grandma's birthday dinner yesterday haha.. so I really really had a tough time waking up this morning, didn't feel like going to work man.
So after I was disturbed by the alarm there was a battle going on in my head on whether should I go to work or not until a "voice" interupted:
'Make up your mind NOW!'
Boi I was awakened right away, I felt convicted and immediately my integrity(conscience) being questioned.
It's amazing how powerful a thought.. so delicate yet intangible could manifest itself.. when I set my mind on how I was feeling then(the fatigue).. it's almost effortless to come up with lots of excuses on why I can't, which means I could've lied to my colleagues (yuo wouldn't want to tell them you couldn't turn up because you were just pure tired right)
Anyway, the same pattern happened when I start to think of what's right. Immediately it exposed what would become of me if I had given in to the spirit of complacency. It'll probably make me an undiscipline, irresponsible, unreliable person. No I don't want to be deceived, especially if that's the effect of just a mere switch of thought. I don't want to be a person like that man.
Joyce Meyer once said that "We can feel not right but still do what's right"
if only we set our minds fully on what's good and not at all on what corrupts. It always appears to be just a tiny thought.. but this is all it takes for it to instantly manifest and you could wake up one day realising how surprisingly, unknowingly it has cost you.
Indeed.. "make up your mind NOW!". A command. This or that. Yes or no. Obey or not.
Spirit of complacency and that of mediocrity is a deceiving attitude that tells you it's okay, it's just a thought, it's okay it's just a part-time job dont type a big fuzz about it. It sounds great but now we know it's not choosing what sounds good/"what we wanna hear" but what is good. One of Robert kiyosaki's audio CD package is titled: 'You Can Choose To Be Rich' (haha ok abit not-so-link)
Similarly, I was told by Someone that we can CHOOSE to do what's right.
I feel this is one of the ways we overcome evil by good.. by choosing to think of what's good and pleasant instead of the former despite our emotions. It requires discipline ofcourse, there's no need for it if dealing with emotions is easy ahah.. I was really really sianz until that voice interceded for good.. what powerful words hmm..
What's good always prevails in the end.. what's good is victorious in nature. Yay!
