I'm not really that excited for Christmas this year...
I'm looking forward to the new year more and getting what I need to get done.
It's time to move to the next level... we're not all getting younger... time is moving and things are going on we need to get ourselves somewhere!
Just been really contemplating about things--this week until the new year is like a time of contemplation for me.
But regardless... I thank God I am able to see this time and I thank him in advance for what he is about to do.
God bless

Selfishness
I'm a really selfish person.
Yeah, I do nice things, but at the end of it all, it all toils down back to one person-and that is myself.
We always want things, we always ask for things, and when we don't get them, we moan and complain.
There was a statement I heard today at church about how we look at where we're at now, and if we ask for anything from God, and don't get it, we immediately think there is no God-- yet we don't think about what the future holds.
And it's so true... we're so encapsulated with what's happening now--the situation that is happening now, rather than thinking ahead to where we are going to be.
I'm just sitting here thinking my head out about so many things.
God will help me.

One of those days...
So much for posting that blog--i've even forgot what the topic was!
Just been in a really pensive state today thinking about a variety of things, but just mainly thinking about the fact 2012 will be here very VERY soon.
Asking those questions.. what have I accomplished this year? I haven't really done anything that I can say 'Yes, I accomplished this'
Next week, I really want to sit down and start planning stuff I need to do for the forthcoming year. Time is ticking. Not saying I'm rushing, but I need to start making movements and setting milestones for myself.
I can't just be here idle and not do anything.. God has something for me to do.. but until I make a move, it won't get done.
*sigh*
God bless

The realisation of it all..
That the year will be finished in about 3 weeks.. and I'm going to be 24 next year!
*gasp*
But... this entire year just has gone too quickly-- is it me or does every year seem to zoom by faster?
Anyway... again, I know I haven't blogged for a while... I really need to set my priorities straight again because I was having a talk with my brother and I outlined that I'm getting really lazy, because when I come home from work I don't feel like doing anything but sleeping..
But in order to play hard, you need to work hard too right?
And generally as woman, there are things we need to polish up.. and I'm at that stage now.
Gotta stop being lazy!
I also feel like my communication with God is running dry as well.. like it's starting to diminish.. that has to be sorted out asap. I can't be having that.
I'm going to strive to blog again later because there is something I have been thinking about...
Till later,

The ways of the mind
I'm going to go at a different angle here and raise up something.
Our minds are very powerful and I don't think we know how powerful it actually is. It's a scary thought.
Take a look at the film in Inception: the primary basis of the film is about dreams.. about our subconscious mind. Regardless, it is our mind, and look at what we can create even while we are alseep-- so what about when we are awake?
If we could use the full potential of our minds, this world would be something else, I would have say.
Why I'm saying this is because when you think or reflect or meditate, or whatever you do when you hear a good word or you hear something negative or whatever, you start to formulate ideas in your mind, or you start to think and analyse things in your head--things that may have not been mentioned we are thinking about them and working out every scenario that could possibly be done in our minds.
Yet, they haven't happened, or even been mentioned.
Crazy, right?
It's not crazy.. it's reality.
A lot of what we conjure up in our heads have--or never will happen, but we imagine them to be. That's why there is something called imagination. What's the basis of the word imagination? Imagine.
If you start to imagine things negatively, this is how you drive yourself to paranoia, to madness, to all of those mental illnesses that they like to diagnose people with. I don't think it's medicines, it's our own selves overly thinking about unnecessary things that have been said, and we end up driving ourselves mad--literally.
That's why it's always good to stick to the positive route--no doubt there are going to be negative circumstances that arise, but it doesn't mean you should dwell in them.
The ways of the mind are something..
