Friday The 13th

 

Yup. It’s Friday the 13th today. The 13th day of the year 2012.

While some may be superstitious, let’s try to fill our mind with more positive values. Let us try to make this day a special one; through Faith, Hope, and Love.

How?

Well, by focusing on those who are in need, the ones who are affected by natural disasters all over the world today.

Let us forget our worldly matters for a few moments, concentrating on these people in need. They need our prayers more than we ever know. Though we are in different parts of the world, different countries, different races and beliefs, but He, the one who has the Power over us, our body and soul, and the whole world, He will hear our prayers and help those who are in need. Through faith, hope, and love, we pray for these people, and He will answer us. Aid will come in many ways. When we see or hear it, we know that our prayers are answered. Remember, whatever we ask, we have already received it. We only have to pray and believe.

These are the people who are being affected by natural disasters today:

1. Deadly flood – South-eastern Brazil

2. Deadly landslide – Compostela Valley, Philippines

3. Deadly tornado – State of Orissa, India

There are many others who are in need. We may not be able to help them physically, but our prayers worth more than any physical values. Let’s forget our hatred, selfish heart, or greed. Fill ourselves with Faith, Hope, and Love. Let’s make a better day for others, and we will be blessed.

Till then! :)

Imagination Is Unlimited

 

Hello! Shalom to all!

You may be in the same continent as I am, which is midnight at the moment. Or maybe you are still in the daylight, doing your daily task. Midnight gives me a kind of feeling, like cruising with the DJ on the radio, listening to smooth jazz, feel the groove, et cetera… Can you feel it now? Soothing, isn’t it? :)

Wondering why am I still awake at a time like this? Well, night time is where my brain works best, usually after midnight. We all have our “best time”, a special time when our brain is performing at its best than most of the time of a day.  Some says that if you are a student, this is the best time  for you to make your revision. If you are a creative designer, use this time to generate more brilliant ideas for your designs.

I will usually use this “best time” to jot down things inside my head, which contains ideas on everything that I do. These ideas are very different from what I have during daytime. So I will take the chance to write down or illustrate on paper before they fade… It really helps me in my designs and others.

To share my “best time” with you, a topic that really fascinates me early this year, that is “Imagination”.

There’s a quote by Einstein;

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Imagination is more powerful that we ever think of. It is a thing that attracts the Positive or the Negative. This is where our Faith lies. If we imagine of something good, and we have Faith in it, then we attract the Positive. If we suddenly lose our Faith, and imagine the opposite of the good thing, then we are actually attracting the Negative.

Whatever we imagine or think of, it has actually been done.

For the Christians, it is already stated in the Bible, for example in Mark 11:24;

I tell you, therefore, everything you ask and pray for, believe that you have it already, and it will be yours.

Remember then, if you think of Positivity, then the positive will come. But if you think of Negativity, then you are attracting the negative to you.

So focus on the Positive. You’ll get what you want.

God Bless… :)
