Real Love

Photobucket

Philippians 1:9 (New International Version)

9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight

My bible commentary says, “Real love requires growth and maturation.”

Savoured over every single word. It now has a more profound meaning then being just a simple one-liner.

Philippians 2:2-4 (New Living Translation)

2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

Shalom.

From Cs to Bs

Photobucket

Caught a snippet of the show hosted by Quan Yi Feng. She made a very interesting remark…

We used to chase after the 5 Cs, Car, Condominium, Credit cards, Cash, Career. But many years since then, we are chasing the 5 Bs, Billionaire, BMW, Bungalow, Body, Brain.

Man and their insatiable desires.

Having a huge craving for macarons. I need a sugar rush!

Jealousy

Photobucket

When you look closely at the word jealousy there’s something vital that stands out. The feeling of jealousy makes you feel lousy! Karen Wolff of Christian-Books-for-Women.com considers the causes of jealousy and then describes simple, practical steps for overcoming jealousy.

How do you define jealousy?

The word “jealously” in Webster’s dictionary is defined as “zealous vigilance.” Somehow this definition doesn’t seem to carry the powerful force of emotion in jealousy. The Bible says in Proverbs 27:4, “Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?” (NIV)

That seems to give a little more meaning to the word.

Background

What ever happened to the days when people were genuinely happy for one another? Do you remember those days when nobody ever wanted something that someone else had? Oh, wait! Those days never existed.

Jealousy is probably one of the world’s oldest emotions. It’s been around since the beginning of time. Look at Cain and Abel. Now there’s a prime example of jealousy run amok

ommon Causes of Jealousy:

  • Unmet expectations. Many times we place unrealistic expectations on ourselves and the people around us. Often times we feel things should come easier and faster to us. Then if things don’t happen when we think they should, we inevitably run into someone who already has what we want. All of a sudden, we feel this surge of ugly, green emotion called jealousy.
  • A sense of entitlement. For some reason we have this ingrained attitude that we are entitled to things. Kids leaving the nest for the first time believe their own standard of living should be the same as their parents. They don’t consider that their parents have worked for years and years. Many times people with financial problems feel “entitled” to buy things on credit, even though they know it’s a bad idea. Having the nicest car and the newest toys seems more important than getting out of debt.
  • Insecurity. It is so easy to look at other people and wish we had what they have. And so many times it doesn’t stop there. We start berating ourselves for not having what they have. Then we begin to believe negative junk ourselves. The next thing we know, we’ve developed insecurities in our relationships.

Cure for Jealousy?

So what can we do about jealousy?

After reading about all the stuff that can cause feelings of jealousy, we may feel like we’re doomed. We may think we’ll always come up short in some area of life. But that surely isn’t the case.

Overcoming Jealousy

Here’s some good news! There are a few things we can do to stop the jealousy ball from rolling right over us.

How to Overcome Jealousy:

  • Stop comparing yourself to other people. You were created as a very unique and special person. God had a plan for you long before you took your first breath. Relish that thought. Love the fact that you’re special. What God has in mind for you isn’t the same as for someone else. So you don’t have to feel bad that you don’t have all the qualities, features, money, or anything else that someone else has. Your journey is just that — yours.
  • Stop worrying about you all the time. Find a way to be a blessing to someone else. When you change your focus away from yourself, all of a sudden your self-image improves. You get to experience the feeling of satisfaction that only comes when you’re a blessing to someone else. Your priorities start changing, and one day you realize that the things that used to make you so jealous and so nuts, don’t bother you so much anymore.
  • Stop wanting what other people have if you’re not willing to go through what they did to get it.When you see a person who is physically fit and looks positively great, it’s easy to feel really jealous. But are you willing to work out every day? Are you willing to eat healthy and look for ways to be healthy? If you’re not, then there really is no reason to feel jealous, is there? When you see a person who is physically fit and looks positively great, it’s easy to feel
  • Start focusing on all that’s positive in your life. God has given you so many wonderful gifts that many other people don’t have. Focus on using those gifts to help someone else. Since your mind can only consciously think about one thing at a time, doesn’t it make sense to make sure that “one thing” is positive and is moving you toward the really great things in life?

      Resolution

      Breaking free from jealousy starts with your thoughts. When you change the way you think, you change the way you feel and act. The easiest way to change your focus is to begin by helping others. It will definitely be time well spent. Or better yet, thoughts well spent.

Perceptions

Photobucket

per⋅cep⋅tion

1. the act or faculty of apprehending by means of the senses or of the mind; cognition; understanding.
2. immediate or intuitive recognition or appreciation, as of moral, psychological, or aesthetic qualities; insight; intuition; discernment: an artist of rare perception.

This is a world of perceptions. Why do we do what we do? Because we envision them to be the right thing to do. Who set the morals then? It is but mere mental prospect that we make sense of, and is acceptable to the vast majority. In examining all the relevant details, we draw an insightful and perhaps meaningful relationship to it. However, it is such a pity that all these are wholly our mental construct. Unless challenged, they remain of little worth to all but the origin’s mind frame.

Why do I say that? ‘Cos I had the firsthand experience last night where someone rocked me off my pedestal. Interestingly, no one gives a second thought to whether their well-established cognition is credible. Their programmed mind will automatically draw connections with past experiences when facing the external cues. Such is a sure formula for stereotyping and having unnecessary biases. I must admit I was too quick to relate a few separate issues together and thus giving some utterly nonsensical advise. On this account, I sincerely apologise. (Yup, it’s you I am talking about)

What I must appreciate and strive to do more of in the future is to be more objective and question critically. Notice critically not cynically. In re-telling an account, most often, we present it through our perceptive filter. We say things to make people share the same notion as us. Conveniently, we might even drop off details that are not to our advantage. Therefore, question. It is not enough to hear and accept. After all, what we are hearing is what people wants us to know. The crucial and likely most essential part is probably the unspoken. As such, it takes conscious effort to live not outta our perception but what is of the truth.

Life is a pilgrimage and this is just another attraction that allures me to its deep beauty. :)
