my light bulb moment

I had a “light bulb” moment recently. It’s like a switch had been turned on and the light was shining on an area that has come into sharper focus and stronger scrutiny; the coming thirteenth general election of Malaysia.

I have heard and watch campaigns on both sides and I have discussed and heard many opinions. One biggest thing and the surest one, is that we have been ‘controlled’ to perceive all policies in certain ways. In fact, the word government comes from two root words; ‘govern’ which means to control and ‘men’ which means the mind. Hence the word government means to control the mind. I love Abe Lincoln’s Gettysburg address which ends with “government of the people, by the people and for the people so that the government shall not perished…”.

My point is this. There will be somethings we are passionately brewing within our subconscious minds awaiting for the right timing to manifest and brought to light and impact us, our lives, the people with us and maybe, in accordance to our calling, the community and/or our country…

We are all created for a meaningful, personal and deep purpose. And only when we have taken action on our purpose that we experience fulfillment; we find our place in our living or we realize what and why we are here for.

Never cease to discover this for ourselves. Always serve, freely give and explore continuously. And in the end, we’d know that our lives mattered. We’d acknowledged we lived to the fullest. We’d be comforted that we did our best. We’d know we are leaving our legacy.
