I was wrong

Had a chat with a brother yesterday. Figured i was applying the wrong methods in my life, and in others' lives.

More specifically, i am talking about my 2 young sheep, Zavier and Alex. I had an aim of wanting them to grow mentally, and spiritually, and i emphasised on them playing less and talk serious more. Problem is, I used a heavy and firm attitude to "force" them to listen to me. No wonder I realised them distancing themselves from me. As expected, from sec2 kids. I don't blame them.

I thought back to the times i started being open with them. We played arcade, watched movie, went for lunch etc. But the point is that there is a connection of openness. As i quote," Be a positive impact to others", said by my mentor. If i really desire them to grow mentally and spiritually, i believe what i need to do is to be a friend again. And be able to understand what they think, feel at the current stage of their lives.

Possibly, the reason i felt so unhappy in church lately is the lack of understanding in dealing with people, and with expectations. I channeled the pressure i received above into the people under me. From this experience, i felt a certain sense of peace and relaxation as i found new direction. To be a friend and a brother to the kids.

So what happens next? I always believe i excel in the things i am passionate in. Could i be a singing teacher like my teacher JJ, who teaches young people in my class(mostly in sec school)?

Maybe, maybe.....
