LIVING FULLY LOVING DANGEROUSLY

There is a tag-line I fiercely believe in, "Live Dangerously" and I thought it is kinda heroic in a way. It seems like in this generation, everyone craves to live dangerously, breaking out of the 'typical' in life, forsaking money, abandoning a stable job, pursuing dreams/vision, climbing the highest mountain, fighting for a cause - worth or not worth fighting for.

In fact, a friend who knows me well told me that I was living dangerously (or rather recklessly), resulting with all the troubles in my life.
Yes, resulting with troubles.

But today, I stumble upon a better tag-line. It's actually from a book title -Following Jesus Through the Eye of the Needle: Living Fully, Loving Dangerously. (A book by Kent Annanfe) I think Kent nailed it.
Perhaps this is the correct quote.


Living fully - Not only living in the now but living in all past, present and future. 
Grasping every moment, finding meaning in it.

Loving Dangerously - risking yourself physically+emotionally to love others unconditionally- especially the unlovable - no, not the poor kids on the street or someone dying of some sickness. I'm talking about that jerk has 'everything' in life but just need to annoy you for his entertainment, that jerk who thinks he is God.

Sigh. I think that is not easy at all.

*Disclaimer: I do not deny that we're made to live an adventure - almost dangerously.

INFP AND SPARTANS

One of those enlightening coffee talk with Ze. Some of his wise words. Ze :  When we find the courage to grab life by the horns , we're in it too deep. We need to take control of our lives Ze :  But then, we do get to choose our ideals . Our ideals can change. If we let it. Ze :  Psychology is not for the fainthearted. Ze :    Dealing with the mentally unstable, insane, volatile, and ill... it takes incredible strength , mentally, you have to be like... 300 Spartans. Just be THAT strong. Ze :  The emotions... once it grabs a lot of your attention.... it doesn't let loose easily . I practice emotional control. Control the chemical equilibrium in your brain. Ze :  In real life, you have to learn to be tough because reality.. is well... real. You don't have to give up idealism entirely. Only the portions that conflict directly with reality. You can keep the ideals that give you a survival advantage. So...

WORKING IN ARTS: ADVICE

  The distilled version appears below. Embrace the fact that you’re young. Accept that you don’t know what you’re doing. And don’t listen to anyone who says there are rules and limits. If you know your calling, go there. Stay on track. Keep moving towards it, even if the process takes time and requires sacrifice. Learn to accept failure. Know that things will go wrong. Then, when things go right, you’ll probably feel like a fraud. It’s normal. Make mistakes, glorious and fantastic ones. It means that you’re out there doing and trying things. When life gets hard, as it inevitably will, make good art. Just make good art. Make your own art, meaning the art that reflects your individuality and personal vision. Now a practical tip. You get freelance work if your work is good, if you’re easy to get along with, and if you’re on deadline. Actually you don’t need all three. Just two. Enjoy the ride, don’t fret the whole way. Stephen King gave that piece of advice to Neil ...
