happy new year all of you!!

as we bid 2006 goodbye 3 days ago and enter 2007, i'm sure we are moving into the new year with lots of new hopes. though some may feel stressful entering into 2007 because of major exams or changes, many of us enter into it with great hopes for the year.

for me, i've got quite a lot of things lined up.. and it is going to be a very packed and busy year once again. and this year, i really wanna strive to remember people's birthdays and remember to send greetings for festive seasons like christmas. busy-ness has really gotten the better of me in 2006... preparing for marriage and settling down into a new life really zapped much of my time and energy. not that 2007 is gonna be any easier juggling some things that comes with married life, but it does make me think about what i want and how i might go about doing the things i want.

this year is gonna be a year of victory. and where there's gonna be victory, there's gonna be battles to be fought before they can be won. and there can only be battles when there's a prize to be won because that's why we're fighting.

go deep. look far. ask big.

going deep is building the foundation for battle. looking far is looking forward, not just looking at current and surrounding circumstances but looking towards the finish line and what is to come out of the difficult situations you find yourself in. just like a person running a marathon.. along the way you find yourself drained, the lactic acid taking a toll on your leg muscles but does the runner let that stop him? or is he going to continue running because the finishing line is where he really wants to be? and finally asking big. when you ask big, you dream and when you dream, you aspire. that is drive. that is passion.

want a life driven by passion? ask big. let the child-likeness in you take over. like the glimmer you see in every kids eyes when you ask them what they want, have that same faith to ask God, because you're His child.

so if you've not given much thought about 2007, what is your foundation? where are you looking towards? what is your dream?
