Welcome to My Reflections Page
I am a thinker. Often you will find me quiet in a group of people. While people choose to talk, I will be contented to slip into my own private world of thoughts and reflections. Some of the reflections enriched my life and I hope to share them with you now …
Going Against the Currents
I was canoeing alone at the Secondary Three Camp this year. The currents were strong and it was hard and tiring to paddle against the on-coming currents. Occasionally, I would take breaks and let the currents carried me away from my destination … the place where I would like to be ultimately. I must say that it was relaxing just to flow along with the currents but I discovered that I was drifting away from the canoeing group and my destination. I knew then though it was "fun" to flow with the currents, I was going nowhere. I need to try though hard it may seem to paddle against the currents to reach the place where I wanted to be.
Very often in life, it is easy to go with the currents. But then, the places we reach by drifting with them may not be the ideal place where we want to be. The best place in life is reached by hard work, determination and discipline … the never say die attitude. One danger of drifting with the currents is that we may not realise that we are flowing to the edge of a waterfall, the consequence is unthinkable!
Let check for ourselves today! Are we going along with the negative currents of Life or against them? Where are we going in life today?
