see related"A lazy person is as bad as someone who destroys things." Proverbs 18:9
I was going to write a blog about how wonderful my day was, but then as I sat down to read a bit of the bible, it really opened my eyes. I have sort of decided to write a bit on the piece of reading I did today, and the impact it had on me indeed; Proverbs 18
To start off with.. yes I suppose I have been trying to be somewhat more Godly, and have been to a certain degree... still lacking a bit on prayers, reading and really putting God before everything else, but I'm working on it ^^ I am currently still extremely captivated by the "Wisdom to live by" which has really opened my eyes to the book of Proverbs, I have never previously though that the bible could in fact be this relevant to our daily lives. Anyways I read Proverbs 18 today, and it amazing how it really does hit home in many aspects and has really got me into deep though. Both about the current life I'm living, the one I want to live and have also managed to kick start my thoughts into life as a lawyer... I don't really know where to begin but I think I’ll just highlight a few verses which really touched me.
First one is, with no doubt, 18.9. "A lazy person is as bad as someone who destroys things." ok, I am without doubt one of the laziest person in existence. All my school, work, etc reports from way back in year 2 of peak school has been the same, something along the lines of "Lincoln is capable of the work and has potential, but he is just far to laid back and does not put the effort into it. (aka lazy)" = =
I don’t even know how many prep talks my teachers, house masters, parents and even close friends have given me saying that I can’t be like this. But every time I just seem to be able to get pass with minimum effort! Ok I’m not the SUPER clever, but to be honest... I’m a bit clever... Really didn’t do much work for GCSEs or A levels... I remember clearly that after I totally failed my A levels, I said it was the time to change. No more lazy lifestyles and a "so what" attitude... I swore I was really going to work hard and put the effort into Uni.
Guess what... It didn’t happen.
I would think I did pretty well for the 1 month or 2, worked hard, prepared for lectures and tutorials in advance, got all the reading done, but as time passed. I’ve once again been pulled in by the endless distractions of this world. There is ALWAYS something new on iplayer, always a new episode/chapter of some TV series, anime or manga. There is ALWAYS a party going on somewhere, a club to go to, people to hang out and chat with. Always something else to do besides what I’m supposes to do. Well frankly speaking, I’ve really fallen behind on my work, didn’t even bother to prepare for the tutorial today let alone do the working. My 6.5k assessment piece still stands at just over 300 words and I still haven’t been bothered to sort out minor things I don’t fully understand. I know I’ve said this countless times in countless occasions. But maybe this time, I can actually do it. The verse of 18.9 really hit home. I am basically as bad as an arsonist! I am, in effect destroying my own life, letting so many people down and not reaching the simplest of expectations. I think it is time for me to get of my lazy ass and get some work done... for once...
Another thing which started me thinking in proverbs 18, is the start, verses 1-3, it talks about the unfriendly, the fools and doing wrong. Frankly, the first thing which came through my head was "those are all effects of excessive amounts of alcohol" ok. I know I’ve popularly said "I’m going to quit drinking" as much as I’ve said "I’m going to start working" and to be honest, I no longer think not drinking at all is even possible! ^^ leading from the "learning self-control" session we had at Scott's place a week or 2 ago, I think this really leads on to say that yes, I should stop myself getting drunk and pissed so much, it’s not only bad for my health, but the pulls me down into "unfriendliness, acting like a fool and doing wrong"
Hehe anyways, this blog has once again gone on for WAY to long xD The word count is most likely fast approaching 1k again! Why oh why can't I be this effective and quick in writing essays and assessments!^^

To be honest, I really don't expect anyone to read all of this, perhaps its why Xanga rules! Serves as a great way to let all your feeling burst out of you and in some sense, tell the world.
