The more i invest and bless others,
The more i am living my life.
Life is short.
We can either choose to be a candle.
Or a shooting star.
Its not the number of lives you've changed.
Its the magnitude.
And to end with that, it begins with obedience towards God.

There is value in time.
How you spend your time shows what you value.
The more time you spend in something, the more you value it.

I am reading John C Maxwell - The Choice is Yours
And i hit the chapter regarding courage.
I think all of us are cowards to begin with.
I wonder if you live your life with courage.
It takes courage to live a life without regret.
Simply because you have to give everything you've got to the dream you are pursuing.
And that takes courage.
You run the risk of losing everything when you give everything for your dream.
But you run a greater loss if you do not even try to pursue your dream.
You run a great loss as well by easily giving up your dream after a few setbacks.
If it is your dream, you fight for it till it becomes a reality.
Then again, does your dream radiate with truth?
Here is what was written:
WE OFTEN THINK of courage as a quality required only in times of great danger or stress. But courage is an everyday virtue, needed to live a life without regrets.
Why do we need courage?
- We need courage to seek the truth when we know it may be painful.
- We need courage to change when it's easier to remain comfortable.
- We need courage to express our convictions when others challenge us.
- We need courage to overcome obstacles when progress will come no other way.
- We need courage to learn and grow when it will display our weakness.
- We need courage to take the high road when others treat us badly.
- We need courage to lead when being in front makes us an easy target.
I connect the most with the first three.
And the first reason why we need courage seems to be the one that speaks the loudest.
In this world filled with many lies, what is your stand?
What you are holding on and believing in, is that truth?
Run in ONE direction.
Run with conviction.
Passion is the pair of shoes.
Discipline is the mindset.
Obstacles and resistance is the race.
But run on.
Run on because you live.
And if you stop, you died.
So keep running.
Run with such faith, that people know you are running to Jesus.
Run to Jesus.
