BE HUMBLE TO SEEK COUNSEL

``Advice is like a snow – the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper in sinks into the mind.`` - S.T. Coleridge

As we all know that in the journey of finding our purposes or the things that we are passionate about might not be an easy ride. Some people might already know what get them passionate since they are still young, but some people might know and start doing what make them passionate about in their late careers or even in their late life when they are old and retired. One of the strongest reasons why some people can identify their passion faster than others is because they are humble enough to seek counsel from others.

Advises can either bring you forward in life or backward. Remember that not all of the advises that you receive are good advises. Use your heart and mind to filter these advises. And never feel embarrassed or shy to ask for advice, especially regarding your future and what you are passionate about. You never know. Perhaps, some of the moments where you ask for advice would be the moment that you have never expected, because those are the moments that are so called, MIND-OPENER SESSIONS.

Don’t limit your options. Best advises not only come from your closest family and friends, they might come from professional help as well from those who has been there and knows what to do to make you save time and cost in pursuing your dream and passion.

Please keep in mind that no matter how good and how much advice we have received in our life, these advises will not do any good if they never been acted or pondered upon.

Thus, Be Proactive in Seeking Counsel. Better yet, Be Proactive in Doing and Pondering the counsel and advises that you have received. Prepare to be amazed, because you will come across some MIND-OPENER SESSION that will truly shape and change your life for the better and get you super passionate about your life.

Seizing the Kairos! - Make the Most of Every Opportunity

Make the Most of Every Opportunity

5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. - Colossians 4:5-6

Everyone knows that time is constant and precious. Time is constant because it will always tick without stopping. Time is also precious because once it is ticking, it would never come back again.
Supposedly, everything that is constantly moving and will never come back should be appreciated because this thing will never be repeated in our life, and we only have one chance to seize this thing.

Yet, the reality presents different thing. Many of us waste our time in things that are not bringing values nor building our life at all. In fact, some of us might have destructive habits whether we realize it or not. Some of us might also stuck in demeaning and destructive relationship with other people or even things, that somewhat have become addiction.

 The Word of God reminds us to go back to God's original plan for our life. God reminds us to "make the most of every opportunity", to always seize God's given chances (kairos) in every moments and opportunities that life have been presenting to us. It means that there is always light in every darkness, sweetness in every bitterness, salt in every tastelessness. It means that we can be the light and bring Godly perspective in every hardship and troubles.

How do we make the most of every opportunity?

The answers are there: Stop wasting time and start building healthy and Godly habits. Be Wise and ask God for Wisdom and it shall be given to you. Fill our heart and mind with God's grace through the meditation of the Word. Pray to God so that everything that comes out of our mouth is truly impeccable and bring strong flavors to those who we encounter everyday.
