Yeah, it's been a while since the last post. So many events have happened since I got back from Asia. I am trying to settle down and figure out what to do with my life at the moment. Working a part time job was a decision I made to at least support myself in some way. But as of now, even to this day, I'm still not sure what I want to do with my life. To be honest, I have the drive to carry myself out of this prison of uncertainty, however, the method and opportunities before me seem scarce. That is why I am still on a constant search for my vocation. This transition period is so hard on me.
But as with the time that I have before I find whatever I'm looking for, trying to make an effort to slow down is what I strive for. It is better to keep training myself in acquiring different skills and to keep learning in all aspects, than to sit and rot idle while waiting. Perhaps it's the enormous amount of time I have to surf the internet, or the accidental events of watching the media, probably both of these factors have played into me being extremely interested in politics. Maybe it's the frustrated and tired out constant search for purpose for my life that drew me into wanting to change the world that made politics so appealing. Whatever the reason, I have grown a passion to change the world around me.
I have become aware of the different current events that are happening around me. It's no secret that the world's economy is not just slowing down, but on the verge of a global meltdown. These aren't just threats, but real events, just waiting to become history. With an economic background, I am able to see the consequences of our current world order and it is indeed startling. Luckily, I also am able to see what I need to do to prepare myself for such a debacle. Wanting to spread my concerns with my friends, I share with them, passionately, about my views and also what they can do to protect themselves when the collapse comes.
If there is one thing that I have learned about myself recently, is that I am able to discern. God has probably given me the gift of Interpretation. I see value and Know value. Often times, I am not satisfied with the cover, Not satisfied with going skin deep, so I search deeper, looking for the roots. I believe this is where you find value. It's common sense really. In many situations, the plot always seem convoluted and distorted. Granted, sometimes things really are that complex and grand. However, most of the times, especially when dealing with things of an organic nature, it is very much like dealing with the wizard of Oz. At first, the images brought before you are un-explainable, and all answers lead to something extraordinaire. It blinds you from reality. However, when you start to ask the right questions, slowly but surely, the wizard is revealed to you as no more than a man with buttons and levers.
So I guess to tie this post together and pull its random thoughts together, I guess what I really wanted to express was that I do have a talent that I am aware of. But really, I want to use it to the best of my potential. I want to use it for a purpose that will satisfy my yearning for greatness. Hopefully, my vocation, my calling, has me set using my abilities to its potential. Sorry, there is no food for thought concepts in this post. This was more to just get my thoughts in order.
