No Fear

It’s Friday night and I just finished my mountain load of work. Just this morning, I thought I won’t be able to make it through, but I did! I even have a few minutes to blog after such a tedious research work and editing an essay.

Yesterday, I learned a lesson from work that I would never ever forget because I was hit hard in the head. I have come to realize never to make delaying things a habit. If there is something that I can do today, why wait for tomorrow? This is one of my weaknesses – inaction, passivity. Time wasted is an opportunity wasted. I wish I remember this everytime I feel lazy to move, to speak, to complain, to shine out. ^_^

I woke up an hour earlier than my usual wake-up time, but I didn’t move. I stayed still and felt negativity consuming me. I was dying to go to work to fix the problem I caused and at the same time I was dreading it, thinking I couldn’t clean up the mess I created. I didn’t know what to do and all my worries just piled up and left me incapacitated. Then, I grabbed Didache and read the day’s bible passage and reflection. It says, “No Fear” - very much appropriate because at that moment I was filled with fear. Once again, God cracked the ice of fear and anxiety overcoming me. I was filled with fire – the burning desire to do what I have to do. I got up with the thought that mistakes are meant to teach me valuable lessons and I shouldn’t allow them to drag me down.

So here I am, done with the things I have to do and much more enthusiastic about life.

Thank You God for this challenging and insightful day!
