Climb with Courage, Rest with Wisdom

-


I was sitting on the 13th floor alone
Brooding about life,
When a spider caught my attention.
It climbed to the 13th floor and kept climbing even with the storm out there.
It climbed back up every time it fell.

Why does the spider climb so high?
Striving to get to the top?
Why is it is going that high?
It probably thinks it can get a better catch up there;
Or maybe it believes it can just keep going and going till it attain its goal.
Well, that’s what I chose to believe.
The spider did not stop till it got to the final floor.


Like the spider that keeps climbing, keep moving toward your goals. But also know when to stop and enjoy what you have achieved. Hard work is good, but don’t let the chase for more take away your peace. Face challenges with courage, never give up, but remember that life isn’t only about how far you climb, it’s also about finding balance and happiness along the way.

    When the thought of giving up arises, we should look back and see how far we've walked and remember the reason we started the journey. Good words

Understanding God's Direction and Protection

"When you get what you want, that's God's direction. But when you don't get what you want, that's God's protection." This quote has been attributed to various sources, but regardless of its origin, it speaks a powerful truth about faith and trust in a higher power. At its core, this quote suggests that sometimes the things we desire may not be what is best for us, and that sometimes, setbacks and disappointments can be blessings in disguise.  The first part of the quote, " When you get what you want, that's God's direction ," suggests that our desires and aspirations can at times be aligned with God's plan for us. When we achieve our goals or receive what we have been working towards, it can be seen as a sign that we are on the right path. The achievements can give us a sense of purpose, direction and fulfillment.  However, the second part of the quote, "But when you don't get what you want, that's God's protection,...

Accepting Change: The Temporary Nature of Relationships

  Life is a journey marked by constant change, and one of the most profound truths we encounter is that nobody is guaranteed to be in our lives forever. Relationships like friendships, family ties, or romantic partnerships, can evolve or dissolve with time. This impermanence can be unsettling, but it also serves as a reminder to cherish the moments we share with one another. Understanding this reality encourages us to appreciate our connections while also preparing for the inevitable transitions that life brings.The temporary nature of relationships often stems from various factors, including personal growth, starting a family, differing priorities, amongst others. As individuals, we are constantly evolving, and sometimes this growth leads us down different paths. Examples, Siblings drifting apart as they start new family; Friends we once thought were inseparable may grow apart as their interests and lifestyles evolve. Similarly, romantic relationships can shift due to changes in v...

Judge by Experience, Not by Gossip

Life is full of opinions. Friends warn us about certain people, coworkers share stories about colleagues, and social media spreads rumors in seconds. But note that everyone is more than what other people say about them. It is easy to form impressions based on the opinions of others. Colleagues, friends, relatives, neighbors or social circles may share negative experiences or warnings about people, but I want you to know that there is always more to a person than what other people say about them. Relying only on hearsay can close doors to valuable relationships and opportunities that could benefit you personally or professionally. An example is my real life experience with a family friend who close relatives and neighbors marked as “too proud and not willing to help". But when I decided to meet him in person to try my luck about needing a job, I met a warm, generous person who after few weeks, helped me secure a job opportunity I desperately needed. That experience taught me a last...
