It seems so...

... futile. 

You try to plod on but you cannot see any change. You try to be positive but nothing seems to be happening. Those you expected to somehow show the way were disappointing. I need to see them moving. Are we going anywhere?

And so I gave up. Moved on. Just remain where you think you can do more.

I feel guilty sometimes. Maybe I should just hang on for change is there, at the next bend. Maybe you should do more. Maybe... a lot of maybes.

The future... it is so hard to see. I just wish sometimes that...

The future sure has a lot of maybes, doesn't it? But unless we move on we'll never know what lies ahead...

I know what you mean--but real change always comes after much waiting--instant changes never last long. Hang in there! ..and Happy Easter! :)

Hey gypsy... i know it takes time... i did wait... maybe it is wrong to stop waiting... or maybe sometimes, we need to give it up and move to something else..

hi rudy... true indeed. I wonder though that if I didn't give up, maybe something would have happened...

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
