Gone are the days when the choice of a profession was either a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Today, life and career coach Anthony Hadeed, chief executive officer of YourLifePurpose Limited (Helping You Discover Your Purpose in Life), says that with psychometric testing “there are 840 categories of careers in the US Department of Labour database under which there are multiple careers, so there are thousands of careers that young people have to choose from, so it is understandable that young people are confused because of the proliferation of career choices”.

Hadeed, a Jerningham Gold Medalist from St Mary’s College in 1979, initially wanted to be a medical doctor.

“My father died when I was 15 but I always wanted to help people, and as a teenager I was always concerned about people’s suffering,” Hadeed told Sunday Newsday.

Let’s face it – we’ve all been wronged in this life in one way or another.  We may have recently or in the past, experienced such a hurtful situation that we are left feeling bitter. Some examples of such experiences are: a marriage breakdown, the loss of a child, being childless, being overlooked for that well-deserved promotion at work, betrayal by a long-time friend, the unfair loss of one’s job after years of dedicated service, and the list goes on.

We have a choice in these hurtful life experiences: will they make us bitter for the rest of our lives or will they make us better people? But you might object – how can a very hurtful and unfair situation in our life possibly makes us better people? Here’s the secret:

The word “gospel” is used over 75 times in the New Testament part of the Bible?  Have you ever wondered what this word means? It simply means “good news”, that’s is!  But wait a minute, exactly what is this “good news” all about, I mean, how good is this “good news”?  I will explain as simply as I can why we should be overjoyed about the good news that Jesus Christ came to bring us, and why it should radically change the way we relate to God and to one another.  Wait and see, you’ll feel like a child again! The image to the left summarizes the “good news” as best as any picture, statue, or medal that I have ever seen. I recently discovered this crucifix by my bedside table as I was struggling in my own life and wondering how close God was to me in my struggles.  Look carefully at the crucifix and ask yourself if you have ever seen one like it – I haven’t.

Have you ever wondered why there is so much suffering in our world, and what purpose suffering serves?  Many people throughout history have pondered this agonizing question but not many have come up with satisfactory answers that are really convincing or comforting.  What about you – what do you think about suffering?  Does it have any value or purpose for us human beings?

Here are twelve benefits of suffering as listed by John Clayton (Lecturer/Writer) on his website: Continue reading →

Do you remember the popular song entitled “What the World Needs Now is Love?”  The song’s lyrics were written in 1965 by Hal David and the music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, the song reached number 7 on the US charts in May of that year!  The next line in the song says:
“It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.”  Seems like a prophesy for our world today, so much in need of healing love.  Continue reading →

Do you know how to boil a frog?  If you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will quickly jump out. But if you put a frog into a pot of cool water, and then turn up the temperature very slowly, the frog will eventually boil to death.  It will not really notice that the water is slowly getting warmer, and that eventually it will die if it stays in the pot.  The same thing has been happening to us human beings, especially in the past century.  Remember the early days of television?  We loved to entertain ourselves with the clean family shows that always had a father who worked a full time job and came home just in time for dinner and to talk and/or lecture the children.
