to become a better person
Sunday, March 23, 2008
This is my pledge to turn over a new leaf. I made it myself :D. Inspired by Rev Wilson Teo because he preached about our having power over the devil and how we should not be oppressed by them. And lots of others like passer by and Claudia ;D Love ya guys!
I shall try not to be emo, depressed, pessimistic, vitriolic or hypochondriacal
But I shall show exuberance, exhilaration, and ebullience
(Because i've had enough of feeling unhappy.)
I shall not be vapid, mirthless, abject, or diffident,
arid, ennui-ed, perfunctory or lackadaisical
but show aplomb, assiduousness, audacity, and spontaneity.
(because no one is perfect and I want to enjoy life while acknowledging the fact that i'm human)
I shall not be easily chagrined or riled or take umbrage (because I hate to hurt others' feelings.),
but instead assuage, palliate, and extenuate (err...is that good?)
I shall not affront, berate, castigate, scathe or slander,
eschew, efface, segregate, or depreciate (I've been there before and i'm not gonna let that happen to others.)
Instead I shall edify, encourage, help, build someone up
I shall not be impertinent, petulant, cantankerous or imprudent, (you don't want to rile others for not reason at all)
But I shall be prudent, pertinent, polite and sweet ;D (Why are there so little good words?)
I shall not stymie anyone from coming to know God
But bring others to Christ.
I shall not be obdurate
I shall take criticism with a smile.
I shall not make any conjectures.
God, please help me accomplish all this:P.
For those lazybums who don't want to bother to check those words:
I won't be emo, I will get a life, I will not be easily annoyed, I will not scold anyone harshly, I will not be rude, I will not be an obstacle to those who want to know God, I will not be stubborn and I will not jump to conclusions.
