why so serious?

i haven't posted for more than a month. time to post something, whether people still read (:

life is a little too short for us to take it too seriously. i don't mean that we should play around and waste time or make foolish and rash decisions, but we shouldn't get so caught up with things that won't matter in the long run that we neglect the things that will run the course of our life.

it's far better to be able to relax, sit back and look at the big picture once in a while and get our direction in life right. i find it a waste for us to constantly be so preoccupied with petty issues here and there that distract us and then lose our way.

if we want to live a life that makes every day count, we have to:
know who we are in God,
know what we want,
know how to get there.

what stops us from knowing who we are in God:
pride

what stops us from knowing what we want:
people & possession

what stops us from knowing how to get there:
procrastination

what gives:
prayer.

so simple. life's not all that complicated. stop thinking that way, and just pray.
