The Serenity Prayer

Its lunch time and I am sitting in my office. My other staff asked me to go along for lunch but today I don't really feel like eating. Instead for the pass 15 mins I have been writting down my next 6 months life action plan. When I finished I did a silent prayer to ask the Lord to give me strength to do all the things I have listed down. Probably if there is anyone reading this now, you would probably be wondering what is the big deal. Well, the story will unfold itself as I fill this blog with more of who I am. Anyway, I looked up and saw my coffee mug. There was a prayer painted on it and for once I felt that this prayer summed up all my emotions and all that I needed to get through the next 6 months and do what was needed for myself. I want to give credit to the creator of this prayer but the name wasn't painted on my coffee cup. I will paste his name here once I find out.

THE SERENITY PRAYER:

God, grant me the SERENITY

to accept the things I cannot change,

the COURAGE

to change the things I can,

and the WISDOM

to know the difference.

Why does this prayer mean so much to me at this time? There are alot of things which I cannot change right now but I know with patience and time things will get better.

My first entry - why blog?

I wanted a separate blog from friendster, instead of re-doing my blog in friendster because a blog is like a closet, you need to get organized (otherwise you don't know whats to wear), I thought why not start a new blog? I have to confess and those of you reading this will see I am truly a newbie at blogging.

All my life, I have kept a diary /journal. Writting has always been a solace and has been very therapeudic for me. So, why not blog? This way, if any other persons come across my thoughts and writtings here and may want to drop a comment or share or discuss they are more then welcome to do so.

Was reading alot of blogging guides (I am really a newbie), and they mentioned that a blog must have a certain theme or catch. I have been thinking about my theme and can't think of any that is interesting enough. One thing that has been on my mind alot is that I am not happiest with my life right now (don't get me wrong, I know that I am trully blessed and am having a better life compared to millions of other people on this earth) and would like to change my life to how I always have dreamed it to be. Its just this feeling that know I can do better, and being 26 I don't think I have not much time to waste. It takes courage to go against alot of people to do what you want. Maybe for a start this blog's theme would be "My Journey" to achieving that. It may not be interesting at all, but this is the first step for doing something for myself.
