Hello,

I Just Thought I would Throw This in.


7 Light is sweet; it’s wonderful to see the sun! 8 When people live to be very old, let them rejoice in every day of life. But let them also remember that the dark days will be many. Everything still to come is meaningless.
9 Young man, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. 10 So banish grief and pain, but remember that youth, with a whole life before it, still faces the threat of meaninglessness.
13 Here is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is the duty of every person. 14 God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad. ECC. 11:7-10. 12:13. NLT.

Let the Peace of God fill your heart in anything you do. If you are in turmoil about anything seek God in Prayer and the Peace that comes will guide your Heart and Mind. Regards Geoff.

wow, I can't help but feel that new living translation was just speaking right at me, as if this question had been long aticipated. I wonder how accurate that rendition of ecc. is. Thats interesting, thanks for sharing it Geoff :)

Hi Alex,

I'm in somewhat of a similar situation to yourself actually so I thought I would post a comment. I am currently studying another course (which I am only vaguely interested in) to be able to get into my course that I actually want to do. Sometimes I really struggle doing the essay's and such but what gets me through is channeling all my frustration of having to do this course into getting it finished. It's probably a little weird but when I have something to get done and I really don't want to do it I sort of say to myself "THIS IS SO STUPID HAVING DO THIS ESSAY THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT! I'M JUST GOING TO DESTROY THIS PAPER AND GET A REALLY GOOD GRADE"

When I get into this mindset I stop whining about having to do it and can just sit down and write it out. It's kind of like someone telling you that you can't do something so you fire up and do the thing to prove it to them that you can.

One last comment I will leave is, in a book I read a while ago, it talks about people making a simple task 10 times harder than it needs to be. Sometimes we need to just get out of our own head and just do it (over-thinking can actually be a BAD thing). I do this all the time as I will turn a simple task (e.g. going for a walk) into an internal debate whether I should go for a walk now or later on in the day, where I should walk to, how long I should go for a walk, whether I should even bother going for a walk as it's really hot etc. etc. So after thinking about every possible scenario (which took 1 hour) I finally put on my shoes and go for a walk. Instead of wasting all the time and stressing about a simple task I could have just said "OK I'm going for a walk now" put my shoes on and gone for a walk straight away. 

Anyway hope all my ramblings may help you in some way.

Kind regards,
Jase

Jase, I can relate to what you posted--thank you for spelling it out so succinctly! Just do it already, right?!
