How to serve ?

The act of service is inevitably important regardless of personal activities or at work. As a religious person, your attitude resembles your personal belief, or the God that you model to. If you are free-thinker or atheist, your attitude resembles your personal value or requirement towards self.

In my opinion, I am serving others as I am serving God or vice versa. My performance or my impression from others definitely become a guideline of self improvement. I keep reminding myself to be a GOOD, instead of a WORSE. I compare with MYSELF, instead of compare with OTHERS. I models the GOOD ones, instead follow the BAD ones.

Recently, I am feeling real bad towards my commitment. I am still performing, but my perception toward it is getting worse. Today, the lesson hit me to come to realization. I ought to understand, what am I doing shows who I am. I have to be the greatest, instead of making myself steps back from becoming the greatest.

3 important points on act of service that I have absorbed in today lesson

1. Consecrate

I have to sanctify my heart and soul. My heart should be purified, and away from all the sins or temptations. I will be careful with my words of mouth and my doings. Think first before I speak and do.

2. Responsible

I have taken the challenges, so I have to continue with it. I will adjust and adapt myself, instead of hold back myself. My doings ain't only reflect myself, those could be an impact for others.

3. Devotion

I have to complete my task, doing whatever needed to be done in a day. Avoid from procrastination. Be effective and conscientious. Fast food style cannot be practiced, when the quality has taken into consideration.

I am thankful, for the lesson.

I am feeling better now.

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
