recently i've found out that many people around me (include myself) has been facing the same problem. Harsh decision making in life.
ok to start with, this post doesn't meant for christians only it meant for everyone.
Alot of people has a misunderstanding of the word JOY, joy doesn't mean happiness only. in fact in time of sadness we can rejoice too. joy is a inner security inside a person's heart that rise up to the surface even when they are facing problems. the highest level of joy is to be able to sing songs of praise (happiness) even when you are facing the darkest problems in your life, may it be a broken relationship, bankcrupt, death of close people and many more to come. life is full of problems and situations that seems too big for you, instead of running away from them in fear the best way is face them with hope. for when a person has determination miracles will happens.
once i heard a story of an war at england. the enemy is sending them with their strongest air force striking into their homeland. and england's weakness in war is air. but a few pilot was determined to protect their country with their life. less then 50 fighter planes went into the sky to face the enemies who shows to be thousands. 50 went aboard, 50 returned in whole. the enemy was totally strike down.
to have determination first you must have hope of a brim of light of life. to have this hope first you must be able to have a positive thinking. always thinking of negatives brings fear, fear that they will happened but if you count the positive things happening in your life you will find out that they are so much more then the negative things in life. as you are able to feel the joy of life you will not fear.
and without fear about failure in life you will have the inner peace. peace a beautiful words you always hear in miss universe can start from every single one of you reading this post now. peace is not just everyone living peacefully together. but it's something more powerful. many people get insecure because they did not feel the inner peace of life and always wonder their life with fear.
therefore i'll conclude that life is tough but look forward with hope and when they come don't run face them with peace & joy that you will fight this battle of life and win gloriously.
