Well, there seems to be lots of thoughts going through my mind these days. It's not an unusual activity or event, however its keeps me thinking and wondering about weird topics such as why is life made this way instead of another... Its not suicidal thoughts, no worries about it. (To those who hates me, it's gonna be bad news for you... Wahaha)
Anyway I normally received daily devotional news from Rick Warren via e-mail. Today's post topic was on Feeling Are Fickle - Faith Is Forever. Basically, it speaks about faith outlasting feelings. Just like in Scouting, my friends used to asked me, why am I still into it? Well, I was taken aback when one of them commented that passion would die off someday. (Wisdom Keeper, its not only you who spoke to me about this... haha kidding). Well I do agree thus from then, I thought through and decided that its for several reasons now.
1. Personal Growth and Development
2. Assisting my brothers and sisters in their goals (I'll always try to do that, however sometimes due to my lack of tactfulness... it ends up in a negative way)
3. Guiding the next generation to be better scouts and citizens in the World.
Seems like a whole lot of things for me to do and for me to stay on. I do agree with Russian Bear that there'll come a time when you have to take a step away to let the new generation to carry on the tradition. Further more, once a human were to reach his or her turning point in life, there are other important matters to settle. Talking macaw said once that scouting do not give you money for your livelihood, there's no obligation as its all about volunteerism.
I do agree with both brothers. In fact, I spend my money in Scouting instead of earning money. However, compared to the experience, the laughter and happiness... its priceless. In time, it will be my turn to make the decision to do other things in life, such as a proper career, a family (includes relatives and cousins) and other areas in life. I wouldn't say that I'm fully prepared for it... however, I'll do my best.
Honestly, today's presentation for MFS, I wasn't really confidence at first. I prayed and still feel that insecurity (perhaps I'm just freaking myself out again)... until MIssy Jassy started with a boom and bang! Then it got the entire group rolling and scored! Haha so cool.
After which, working was fun. It really got into me that fishy restaurant became a focal point for me and some close 'brothers' (what we call ourselves as kitchen brothers... haha) coming together to sit down and talk about how to improve our restaurant as well as to laugh out loud about the weirdest situation that we faced during the course of work. My friends also asked why do I go down willingly to help out even if they do not pay me... well, its for my 'brothers and sisters' who are working there (some by choice, some by attachment).
Well, one project down, few more to go. Ganbatte everyone!!
Well, little girl, you came and you left and you came into my life again. I wonder what's there installed next?
To Cottontail, you're not alone... we're all in this together. As a patrol, as a team as a CREW!
To Raging Bat, I've heard praises from your trainer... Keep up the good job. I know its pressuring and tough at times, however that's where we learn to grow and do things we normally do not do in our comfort zone. Imagine carrying 5 pans in one hand? No one dare to start on it, till the runners (your trainer and me) began to experiment and push ourselves during such operations. Soon, you'll discover your potential and try to break it each time. It trains you more than you making drinks and salads. Cheers!
To Wisdom Keeper, one McWiki please! (No link again... randomness)
Have faith and always smiling people. If you do not enjoy life, what's the point in living and looking forward to the next day? Ain't it right?
