LIFE...in general.

so many things are up in the clouds right now, especially with the holiday season in full swing, its hard to sort of plan anything else regarding what i want to with my life. basically they are just plans, nothing more. you see I'm a opportunity guy, i just take whatever opens up. this can a good thing but also can be my downfall. i think i should be more assertive in my life in general instead of waiting for `things' to open up or even happen. it boils down to what i really want in life or what i want to accomplish. life is boring if we choose to be stagnant or `comfy'. i know this will sound cliche but life is really an adventure full surprises, good and bad. one of my general rule in this life is this: take the good stuff but don't get too comfortable because it can get better. also regarding the `bad' is that we learn to accept it and also learn from it. i know it sound so simple but i think that's key in life, keeping things simple instead of being tangled with complexities of it. this will probably sound selfish but i want a build a life for myself. i feel like all these years i've tried to sort of unknowingly base my decision on somebody else's success or opinion. the danger of it was that i never found myself in the process of knowing who i really am and what i want for myself. we all have our lives to live, as a single guy trying to make it out in this fast paced world, i need to have goals, a plan something that will propel me closer to being the person i want and it all boils down to my priorities. i guess in my season it's easier now because i am single and have no kids, but i guess it will come to a point when i do need to not just think about what `i want' but `what's best'. so with that in my mind, i gotta get crackin', here are just some of those `plans' that's up in the air:

1. going back to school (choices: architecture, engineering or industrial design)
i was really eyeing of going to school in BC but we'll see, don't want to get my hopes up but it would be nice.
2. move somewhere in canada, hopefully BC. kinda getting tire of all this snow in toronto. probably look for a job and be all independent you know..hahah
3. find someone who i can share my dreams with and be with me 100% of the way...hmmm must be nice to have this. praying and finding mode
4. mission trips and such, basically be more socially active regarding the things that is happening around the world

everything else is just secondary and still must be thoroughly thought out. but that's the chunk of it..i'm terrified just reading it over but i will fully rely on His wisdom and to remain faithful until that time comes, whenever that is. so yeah i guess i can end with this quote by John Wesley:
“When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before; at present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me”
