Wants and Needs

Many years ago, I've read articles and speak to people about their needs and wants. What is the difference between them and how does it have an impact in our lives? Well, based on my understanding of when a human needs something, it is a necessity in his or her life. However, if a human wants something, it is just an additional item to satisfy their desires. Well, I have seen countless people buying what they wanted and in the end, after trying once or twice, they shelve those items somewhere. After a few days, weeks or even years, they would either pass it on or sell it or throw those items away. Pity isn't it?

Well I have a list of items I wanted to do, it sounds crazy and I hope there is enough time to do as much of it. Time is short, sometimes 24 hrs a day doesn't seems enough at all.
Here are some of the things I would like to do as much as I continue breathing:
1) Getting to know the Father more.
2) Getting both licences done and over with.
2) Completing my course as soon as possible with as much knowledge in my mind.
3) Expanding a particular company locally and internationally.
4) Learning a musical instrument such as drums, piano or guitar.
5) Learning architectural works and engineering fundamentals from a professional that I know of.
6) Settling down with my soul-mate
All these takes time, and time is of the essence.

I chatted with a particular woman last night, she told me about her boyfriend and her plans to settle down after a couple of years. Hoping to set up a family and live life happily. Sounds like a fairytale in a ever-changing and tempting World? I pray so for her.

It struck my mind that in a couple of years time, it will soon be my turn thinking of such stuff, after settling down in my career first (of course!). But who will that woman be, to be my soul-mate? Will she be the one that I am looking forward to be with now? Or will she be another one that God will place her in my life? Maybe somehow, I might not even cease to live to see that day coming, as I may return home soon enough. Such foolish thoughts some might say, suicidal? No way, I never believe in giving up my life for such things. A crowd act!!

Well, whatever I hope to achieve in my life so far has been blessed by the Father. Many miracles had happen and blessing has been given to my life in terms of studies, friendship, work and maybe (I am believing in this a lot) relationships. Apparently, thus far in my life, I have achieve academic excellence, leadership skills and working experience that is fun, loving and entertaining. (I Praise You for that, Father). But in terms of relationship, it is not as smooth sailing as it gets. But I'll challenge it, with the faith and trust, to overcome any obstacles in my relationship.

I want to experience what a wise human once told me. That in your journey in life, there are rocks that block your path.
You have 3 general decisions to make:

1) You will stop at your tracks and even if you try to move on, if the same rock appear, you will stop at your tracks again.

2) You can try smashing the rock away from your path, and every time if the rock appear, you will smash it. But how long can you keep on smashing rocks?

3) You can find a way to overcome it by changing your path or going around it. And every time the rock appear, you will adapt to the circumstances and overcome it.

However, after overcoming each rock, you will experience something special (differs for individuals) at the other side of the rock. I want to experience that as well. I want to overcome obstacles in my relationships to savour the victory. But the questions lies... will You be there to experience this with me? I believe in You, and You got to believe in yourself more.

Mistakes can be rectify, decisions can be overturn. But what You believe can never be change so easily... I pray that that day will come, for both of us to achieve this together.
