Carpe Diem

been a while since my last blog ha.

This October the Church theme is Branching Out. I shared a series of all the revelations I got from my devotion. I share how to think big, keep going, and honour the process. When I shared about Think Big, I told the story of how my wife started to do handwriting thing. She started a very humble beginning, she wrote dozen of books to train her hand to move the way it will create a steady yet picturesque. I remember she struggled watching countless tutorials and trying to imitate them. Until one night she decided to pour it out on a canvas, and I took lots of pictures of her doing it for the very first time. I must say, I should have not haha. I should take the pictures right now when she can do handwriting eloquently. will do this soon.

Back then, her handwriting was OK. Not even in the category of art yet, but perfectly acceptable for personal consumption ha! Today, she is not that handwriting artist who travels the world, but I will say she can do handwriting and can sell too. She did, in fact, sell a few of her works and take on a few commissions. What had happened? process. And what made her good ? She’ll keep going and keep going and never stop. What made her keep going ? I guess a dream/goal or some people call it a purpose.

When we feel like giving up, purpose is what keeps us going. We will continue to move forward till we arrive at our destination if we are aware of its existence. The difficult part is to persevere through all circumstances. This requires stamina and perseverance.

And where to get that stamina and perseverance, which is easier to say than done? I guess we must try to get that everywhere and with every effort possible. I always think to myself, “Life is a game.” We gotta keep trying if we want to pass the stage. We just need to keep going no matter what. Stop being such a crybaby and keep going. If you need inspiration, find it. If you need a break, do it. If you need a mentor, find one. If you need a community, get out and mingle so that you can find one. You have to keep going no matter what!
