Ambition

yesterday my friend asked me what my ambition is.

That got me stumped.

I have absolutely no idea.

When i was younger, there were a whole myriad of people i wanted to be - teacher, tai-tai, commercial designer, journalist, author, singer, pastor ...

yesterday my friends asked me which part of the world do I want to go.

I have absolutely no idea.

A rural town, a bustling city. A place with friends, a place with strangers. To work, to study.

yesterday i asked myself what i wanted to do with my life.

I didn't have an answer.

Am I leaving my life like a dust in the wind? blown about by spur-of-the-moment whims and ideals?

Am I satisfied in building my grand castles in the clouds?

Is it very cliche to just say that all i want to do is to be different, and to make a difference?

Great things start from ideals.
I'm a fervent supporter of lateral growth. Go try your hand at different jobs and experiences. Pray about it, and you'll get your answers!

Hmmm... i believe in a purpose driven life thats centered on Kingdom Living. Where in we discover our strengths and weakenesses, spiritual gifts and natural gifts, and our inate personalities, to fully realise the work that God has prepared for us to do. Not just mindlessly working for money, or practicing religious christianity, but true genuine worship of God, and fulfilling the special purpose He has for each one of us...
