Wake-up call ...from Gods

I laughed at myself as I named this tittle, because I've never believed in gods. I believed more in science because every scientific argument has solid proof. Or, I believe more in taking actions with plans executed correctly to yield precise outcomes that match the predictions. In other words, I don't believe in relying on chances that are given by god, but rather chances that we created. But lately, all that thinking have been changed.

Like a computer, we are created with a physical body (hardware) and mental mind (software) that control our activities. We don't function well without our physical health, and we don't thrive without a clear mind, or a believe system that help us determine what we're doing. And for a long time, I have been on auto-pilot, or even lost... philosophically. But lately, by listening to many ebooks, have help me shape up my thinking, I find myself more motivated and determined. From life experience, to dating, to finance, to social skills, to health... It is like, god is giving me guidance, or secretly reminding me specifically. Because apparently, I made countless copies of these ebooks that I have and given them to my brother, or my friends, none of them seem to pay attention nor appreciate their value. Perhaps, it's just me who needed guidance and found advises to be useful; or perhaps god is specifically helping me ...or perhaps... it's just a coincidence LOL

Rhythm of life (dedicated to Kimee)

Perhaps it's a disease, a mental disorder, or a psychological bug that scrawled into my mind and fed on my thoughts. Or maybe, it's a mental stage that I'm stumbling into as part of of my growing-up process. Whatever it it, I still haven't find it yet ...the purpose of life.

"The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living" --Socrates
I guess I'm not alone in this journey so called "life". Many people from many generations, different backgrounds, different cultures, different continents on Earth, have wondered about the meaning of life. And of course, Kimee too :D ...Anyway, this is an audio book (Audible mp3) that I stumbled into not too long ago. It's called The Rhythm of Life, written by Mathew Kelly who described his experience during his young adulthood when he paused and started pounding about his "purpose of life". The whole audiobook is about 9 hours long. It was quite interesting, philosophy-wise.
