  It has been more than a week into the new year.

  I've been reading things like Holy Discontent, Marriage Covenant, Maximized Manhood for the past few months.

  There are just so many things that are not right out there and too little people to stand up and be counted.

  Even when there are some people, it is really easy to burn out and look at the necessities of a livelihood in Singapore.

  Property, cash, car, taxes, budget, career, job, income.

  They are things to worry especially when you meet your friends, you can't help but compare and be sore if you figured you are on the other hand of the rat race.

  It is really tough to always put things into perspective when you want to lay less focus on such 'necessities' and focus on what is important and meaningful.

  That money is not everything.

  That being rich is not the main purpose.

  But instead it is to fulfill God's desires that is placed in your heart, to maintain holiness, to love, to be fruitful.

   

  Change is inevitable whenever you want to make something better.

  With changes, one must have the necessary courage to create and implement the changes.

  Especially when changes aren't seen to be all that popular in a comfortable environment.

  Especially changes to make things right.

  And a change will only be a change if there is a change.

  Talking and planning changes is not a change unless it is executed. 

  Talking is one thing, ensuring is another.

  For righteous changes, you will need something i call, righteous courage.

  And Righteous courage is a rare commodity now in our time of moral decay.

  One may have Righteousness but no courage.

  One may have courage but not righteousness.

  A leader, however, needs to have both to make an impact in the world.

   

  Resolutions, are useless if there are no changes.

   

  Would you be the one that defeats the dragon?

  Or would you be the one that coexist with the dragon?

   

  Me?

  I want to be one that slays the dragon.

  Lord,

  help me to see the dragon and strengthen me to overcome it.

   

  I ain't going to settle for a good life.

  I am only settling for an eternal life.
