Tube Thoughts 30 617 am

If someone was to kick you in the face, how would you react? What if they hit one of your loved ones?

Why we give so much credit to violence? The will and need to upgrade oneself is not part of the ego that wants to own the whole world as playground.

I believe that the biggest salesperson is Satan, because his temptations create a need and he's offering the supply.

I believe that love is an act of will, a process that has daily updates and is based on your experience, patience and need to be involved. If partners don't respect and support eachother there is no reason for them to continue.

Tube Thoughts 28-29 617

TheEverday is an opportunity to do more and as long as you're breathing, you still have a chance to change your life for the better.

Some people say this blog depresses them, others love it and quite a few find it interesting. Spend some time here and decide for yourself.

I started writing in English because of my international friends, whom I love and respect very much. Wish I could have a cup of coffee with you all today!

I believe in science and God, because one explains what the other can't do it in words. They complete each other.

I've said it and I'll say it again: having the right kind of people next to you is a blessing.

Admitting your faults can sometimes work against you, but it takes courage to do so. One of my weaknesses is getting up early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, so I need 3 alarms to wake up.

There was a time in my life when I used to be late to every appointment or date that I've had, but being annoyed by the other people being late. Now I've changed and I like to be on time and I really appreciate when I don't have to chase the other person 50 times by text/call to confirm a date/appointment.

I have people that I look up to. I have people that I admire. I have people that I don't like, but I don't hate them. I don't have idols and I'm not into sports, music or grouping. I don't have preferred things or colours that I can't live without; I just like stuff that is good, well made, great priced and makes me feel better.

I believe that a great partner completes  you and doesn't want to change you because feels that you're enough. A good partner will want to build a strong team of two so you can rule the world together. Of course looks are important! Of course money are important, but not in the way people think that money bring you the happiness and way of life that will compensate for feeling unwanted or unloved.

Know your God

Most people who dream about Heaven and a New Earth have no ideea what it mean. They want to escape this grey world to a heaven where gold is everywhere and life is peaceful and bliss. Most of their reasons are selfish, and they think that one can get there by doing good deeds, or by not eating meat or by going to bed at 9 pm or by bombing 50 infidels.

What if you get there, but God is missing?
What if you don't even care who's there, as long as you're there and you have no more wars, hunger or pain?
A heaven without God doesn't sound like heaven at all. More like Bali, Swisserland or any other perfect place where money bring you everything you could possibly want. Heaven is where God is. It can be anywhere, as long as He's there with you.

You have to be responsible and disciplined with yourself in order to be able to help others, and since this an ongoing process, it's always the right time to be kind and care for those around you.
Start with what you have and you can build on it. Do everything you can now, and as long as you're breathing you have a chance of knowing more and more about God.

The only way to go to heaven is by having a person connection with Him. And that is grace. Prayer is a talk, a chat between you and your heavenly father. You don't need to spend hundreds of hours on your knees, because He is everywhere and loads of conversations can happen between you two throughout the day. Even now.
Let's pray!

Wait for it (617LDN)

"The Wait" is strongly conected with the will and obedience. Is your choice to wait when someone tells you to do so, and your mind in less than a second evaluates if you should listen or follow your own will, because when you're waiting you're following someone else's will and schedule.

WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH
As a teenager I wanted to believe the girl telling me that we need to wait for the right time to be together, but I always knew that it was only a polite "NO".
When I grew up a bit, I discovered that recruitment agencies and companies use the same tactics​ when they don't​ want you to work there.

NOT NOW
There are cases when waiting doesn't necessarily mean a NO. For example, your driving license: it's not instant, you have to learn and work hard to get it. When you're a kid and want to grow up, it doesn't happen over night. Oh! and what a tragedy it is when you grow up to quick!

Sometimes things happen even though​  you didn't wait for them, like getting old or your exams... or the seasons... or just the sunset.

HOW TO WAIT
I believe in constant-proactive-wait, where you're constantly getting ready and prepare for whatever comes next, so when it's here, it doesn't catch you by surprise. For this you need a clear mind, peace inside your soul and faith.

Imagine if the race dogs would look around and think that the cage is their tomb... and there's no more hope for them... But no, they're ready to run for their lives once the gates are open!

When you're stuck, you should make yourself ready for when the opportunity arrives, to start working twords your dreams and goals. Build your tools, read your books, know people, make your bed and get ready to upgrade yourself! Because you don't know where life will take you in 1, 3, 15 years from now.

Are you ready?
Good.
Now wait for it!

London and days of terror (617)

I don't know about you, but I miss a lot of people and a lot of places from back home. Yes, I miss Romania, but there's not much to do as Landscape Architect because people don't understand the need for consultancy or proper design for the outdoors.
I'm going to stay in England as long as I can, but this terror attacks and Brexit don't make it easy at all...

Just 1h before yesterday's attacks I've crossed London Bridge with my cousin and we were looking for a place to park near Borough Market and walk adound there, but all parking spots were full and rain started so we decided to go home.

I trust in God and I know He's in control and keeps us safe. A lot of people blame God for allowing people to die in violent situations or in hunger, or innocent childrens to die of AIDS or cancer... I don't have yet a proper answer to explain why He allows it, but when I do, I'll share it with you. If you could see the bigger picture, without emotions of feelings involved... Zoom out a bit and you might get your answer.

"Yeah, but it's easy to trust God when you live in a nice house where you have food to eat and you're healthy!" Guys, EACH OF US has periods of time when we'd be better off dead than alive, but God is good enough to keep us alive and strong to see the end of days, when we'll have answers​ for all our questions. As long as you breathe, you can still change your life and know your God.

I can tell that my life wasn't always easy, but He is here for me and helps me see the whole picture, and walks step by step beside me. I'm praying for all of us.
