Initiative

Just read this somewhere, pretty inspirational:

It’s a cliché to say that every journey begins with the first step, yet it is still true. Talent-plus people don’t wait for everything to be perfect to move forward. They don’t wait for all the problems or obstacles to disappear. They don’t wait until their fear subsides. They take initiative. They know a secret that good leaders understand: momentum is their friend. As soon as they take that first step and start moving forward, things become a little easier. If the momentum gets strong enough, many of the problems take care of themselves and talent can take over. But it starts only after you’ve taken those first steps.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Today's sermon:

Lord, Give me the serenity to accept what I cannot change,
Give me the courage to change what I can,
And give me the wisdom to tell the difference.

The past month or so has probably been the most turbulent time of my life. Things were tough, and it was difficult to be happy, or to move on.

Well, it turns out there really is a silver lining. Good things come so fast that you don't even have time to reflect and think about it. And when you see the golden moment, life after all is not so bad, not so bad....
