Given the best, give my best.

Today, I signed up for a child sponsorship through World Vision. I will be sponsoring a child from Thailand. Paper works need to be completed before the first donation is deducted from my bank account. This is exciting for me as I have always wanted to contribute where it matters. Especially to children.

I do not know who this child is yet but I will make sure I do not only contribute financially but also in prayers that she will be blessed, just as I have been blessed.

I hope that she will be given a chance in life. I hope that she will be able to have a good education such that she has an opportunity to give to others when she grows up. I also hope that she will come to know God and bring about His blessings to her community.

I am a very fortunate and blessed child. Perhaps if I were to compare myself to some others, I may not have received the best material items money can buy but I have receive enough to make me into who I am today. I am very glad that I am not someone else.

I am who I am today not because I deserve it. I have a great pair of parents, though uneducated but responsible. I pray that they will come to know God. They may not know how to plan my path, but God has been the author of my life even before I knew Him.

I have gotten the best wherever I am placed. The best teachers, the best bosses, the best colleagues, the best opportunities - all these, I did not earned nor deserved.. but because of all these, I am successful in life. I do not want to just soak in these goodness, I want people to share in these blessings. I want to once again contribute back to those who are in need.

I need stop feeling that I am losing out and start to give.

Got money, no talk.

I realized all along that I am not cut out for sales. Today I come to understand why.

It is not that I cannot convince. I am quite an influencer/manipulator.

I promote things that I believe in.

However, if at any point, I stand to have direct monetary gain from my suggestion, I will not do it.
