I had a discussion with C on facebook. He was apparently quite touched that I looked out for him - I asked whether he had been affected by the flood in UK.
Power, money, the ability and resource to change the world for the better. He sounds like a young idealist.
In comparison, I wonder where my drive had gone. I am no long dirven for anything. I am just getting by. Do I know where I am heading to? It seems like I am just doing the minimal work required so as not to “fail”. But am I using my time to the fullest? And am I really clear about what I want to use my time for?
I think it is time to think about what I really want to do. I think this is a process rather than an end. I wouldn’t know where I am ending up in. God will unfold His plan for me in His time. I think I need to learn and read a lot. Read widely. To explore and discover. To challenge myself in areas or subjects I have never tried. And also, I must pursue excellence. Then in the process, I hope to find out my passion. To sense the calling that drives me out of bed every morning.
And yes, learning for the pure joy of learning is what I want to do now.
