My new-found freedom in Bandar Country Homes...... Hurray !
WINNING AND LOSING.
The Masters Tournament is one of the most prestigious in professional golf. In 2009 Kenny Perry came second after leading during the final round. The newspapers described Perry as " disappointed but not despondent" after the loss. "I'll look back on it occasionally and wonder what I might have done differently, but I won't dwell on it", Perry said. "If this is the worst thing that happens in my life, I've got it pretty good. I won't let it haunt me. There are so many other things in life that matter more......I'll go home tonight with my family and we'll have fun."
The ability to look beyond our disappointments is essential for followers of Christ. Our focus determines how we face the victories and defeats in life. "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth" (Col. 3:1-2) .This way of thinking looks to Christ, rather than our achievements, for significance and validation. We seek Him, not success. When we strive for excellence and give our best effort, losing hurts, but it doesn't have to harm us. The key is where we set our minds and hearts. - David McCasland. When Christ is the centre of your focus, everything else comes into proper perspective.
P/S I did not run away from my house. I had a scuffle with my ex-, I got angry, took a taxi cab back because I had to settle my credit card bills and seek my father about it, and my ex hasn't switched on his hand phone for two years since and had NEVER had the intention of driving to Rawang to reconcile. He had dumped me for good. My father was sick then and my own mother badly needed my help. So I had returned home to my parents and left my children under the care of the nasty and precocious Mother-in-law. She cares for the children but not in her heart and soul, for she had spoken on and off that she doesn't want kids and doesn't want anything to do with my children. She was forced to work, that luxury Grandma of theirs and she has been giving bad rapports about to everyone in the neighbourhood about my past mistakes and failures. .... I did not buy the wrong things with my credit card, I had BOUGHT FOOD for my children and PATCH up on FOOD for the family...
