Faithfulness of Living

As i was about to sleep tonight, a simple thought came into my mind. This simple thought will form the basis of what i am going to share in this blog post. What is this thought all about? Well basically it is the realization that i have not live my live faithfully so to speak. What then is faithfulness? A simple search on Google defines faithfulness as adhering firmly and devotedly to someone or something that elicits or demands one's fidelity. Before mentioning about living faithfully, i must first state that i am firm believer that each of us has a role to play and that role is uniquely meant for us whether you believe in God or not. This role form the basis of the purpose of living and therefore i believe is our duty to live up that assigned roles to us. However very often or not, we fail to live our our purpose or destiny, perhaps due to the common thinking of the world around us that achieving success in our career, having families and etc. On the other hand you may  have the extreme view that poverty is the only way we can achieve enlightenment through various religious view and that's when you have people condemning the rich and famous , stating that there should give up everything and the best part is some people even back it up with biblical verses condemning rich people and etc. What i am trying to emphasize is that really what we think we ought to live by is at times determined by external perception, not internal perception. Now having said all this, let move into what it means to live faithfully

Living faithfully is to consistently live the assigned roles given to us. Say if you are a student now and your role is to study, then u should be studying. very simple illustration. however many of us would agree that it is easier said than done. there are so many distraction, so many fun things to do and as we busy ourselves obtaining pleasure and fall back into our comfort zone, we have forgotten the goal and purpose destined for us. i am of no exception. To make matter worst, you have some jokers which may even be your friends, teachers , parents etc who say u need to live like this or that , u need to be successful and all that follows. it is rather disheartening . i believe that everyone is unique in their own way, from the prime minister to a garbash collector, no one should be looked down upon. Now having said the above, how then do we define our assigned role? this is the most difficult part as it require us to internalize the very inner self and to gain full understanding of ourselves. This is probably the time when meditation and moments of solitude would help to gain a better understanding or ourselves. Talking to people who indeed care for us and our well-being and able to show high degree of understanding or our character would certainly be helpful during this stage

Now lets move a bit about myself. i think for the past few months or even years after my secondary school live that i failed to live faithfully. sometime i am worried of things that doesn't worth an ounce of my time and that pretty much demotivate me to move forward. Come to think of it, that is utter stupidity at it peak. Sometimes i am not truthful to others in the sense i am not reflective of my true self, doing things privately which i would be ashamed when exposed to others. i am also inconsistent in my work and have been slacking lately in my studies. i think its time to recollect myself and to live live to the fullest by not being afraid to achieve anything and put my heart, mind and soul into anything i do. i also need to shield myself from all distraction especially Facebook which i think i am wasting too much time there for no good purpose. i think its time to come back to my senses and just be the best i can be for i believe one of the role given to me is to be the best in whatever i do. i just hope as i finished this blog, it will signify a new beginning in the way i think, work and act. May my God who is full of grace pour forth his blessing upon the works of my hand
