THE BACKSTAGE
there's so much going on
unspoken in the back
of the mind

kukerjakan bagianku yang terbaik, Kau selebihnya

Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is kind, if there is any virtue, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8, NIV)

What you think about determines the quality and direction of your life. Naturally, people who think positive, uplifting thoughts have happier, healthier, longer lives. They are less stressed, more vibrant and enjoy better sleep. That’s why the scripture encourages us to think on good things — things that are true, noble and lovely. Some translations say to “fix your mind” on them. When you fix your mind on noble things, you close the door to the negative voices and open your heart to allow God to work in your life.

Choose today to fix your mind on good things. Do whatever you need to in order to keep those good thoughts before you. Write them on note cards and put them in a place where you can see them. Confess God’s promises over your life and declare His blessing on a daily basis. As you fix your mind on the goodness of God, you will rise higher in every area of your life. You will be filled with His peace and victory, and you’ll see every dream and desire in your heart come to pass.

Vision

I often heard people telling you to always follow your vision. If you're facing two paths and don't know where to go, just remember, only follow what brings you closer to your vision.

I do understand that. However, no one has ever taught me how to find our own vision at the first place. Vision is different from a want. It's much bigger than that. It needs an ability to look far outside and deep inside to determine what you really want in your life. 

After all, I believe that human being is created for a specific reason. Each one of us came to this world carrying a duty that only that specific individual can fulfil.
