The Continuous Ramblings Of Vuong Pham

Another blog post, another stream of consciousness. I just had a read of my good friend's poem "Life Is" by Glenn George, and found it very inspiring, it's sentiment that yes, there are evil things that will happen in life, but the important part of living and having a happy well-being is to look for alternate ways as opposed to "slitting your wrists" all the time, which can be a 'easy' downward loop in thinking, behaving, etc. Here's the poem: http://spellinggooroo.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/life-is.html. I have recently been attending new church services, experimenting with different religions, and this has to be the saving grace that I've been looking for. In the Hillsong service I went to recently the pastor said something about the motivational power of compliments. Some stand-out phrases he referenced which inspired him throughout his life were: "God's enjoy going to use you more", "You're doing better than you think you are". He told a story of how he was teased and ridiculed as a teenager for being a virgin. He now has a wife and kids, and held out for the right person, and was now a successful pastor travelling overseas to different churches to encourage and motivate people. I'm still waiting for the right person to come along :-) Hope is again on the horizon. Vuong out.
