Are we prepared to go all the way?


We will always have doubts in our lives. Whenever things don't go our way, we doubt if we made the right decisions. Whenever we don't achieve results, we doubt our own abilities. Whenever people start to walk away from us, we doubt ourselves.

With doubts taking place so frequently, no wonder most of us become less confident of ourselves as time goes by. That is quite true - as we grow older, we become more careful. When we were small children, we were not afraid to fall. In fact, we got up each time we fell, because that was the only way to learn and grow. However, as we grew older, we became more afraid to fall because we might break our bones.

Actually, I think that is not a wrong attitude. After all, we need to adjust to our physical conditions. However, it seems to me that all these little doubts will gradually erode our trust in ourselves and prevent us from striving for the best.

Sometimes we might face a really big challenge that seems insurmountable. The first thing to do is not to panic. Back off a little, and try to break the problem into smaller ones that you can manage. It's like climbing a mountain. If you cannot take a big step, then use smaller steps.

But there are times when you are really hitting against a wall. Just like me now, don't know what I am blogging about. But when I receive comments from other bloggers out there, I feel encouraged. Because I realize that people are actually connected. It gives me that little energy to push forward. Hopefully not over the cliff, though.

Am I prepared to go all the way? Honestly, I can only answer that I will give my best.

Hey, Youtube is the next best thing after Google. Look what I found here. An inspirational video of faith....





You Raise Me Up

- Josh Groban

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.
