Why I Believe Success is Progressive not Culminating.

We all want to achieve things in life, but is it healthy to look at success as ultimate or culminating, or is there another way we can look at success which can prove to be more humane? I believe there is. If we look at success as self realizing or the actualization of our entire human beings, we might be missing out on the little and bigger successes that can give ourselves a real sense of accomplishment and happiness! I believe that it is these kind of achievements that we work for everyday, that actually gives us a real sense of accomplishment and that is way more forgiving than if we look at success as the realization of our entire personalities and souls!

What drives us is very important, because we will only feel successful if we are pursuing the things in life that we actually want! When we make goals we should keep in mind the real possibilities of achieving those goals because I personally believe that it is in reaching those goals that we can say I succeed in that thing. It takes humility to keep pursuing something, even when it feels out of reach and the good thing about looking at success as progressive, is that we can adapt to situations when it looks like a goal is becoming impossibly out of reach.

We don’t need to define ourselves by what we have and have not achieved, because when we meet even a small goal, it should give us a sense of pride knowing that our success is not defined for us ultimately. To quote the Bible, “I have not yet arrived” (Philippians 3:12-14) should leave a lot more room for us to really succeed in the things we set out to do! Without being purely motivational, we can’t really accomplish anything in life without feeling that we succeeded in something, so by looking at our successes in a progressive way, we can feel pride in our past accomplishments, and look forward to the things that we want to achieve in the future! This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring.

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
