Faith...I have been thinking about this as I am reflecting on my life one day..

I came to realize that faith involves 2 extremes which needs to be balanced.
Faith requires me to 'give my best effort'on my part and then letting God do the rest for me.

For some, it is easy to say 'Let God do this for me' while they sit back and fold their arms, calling this an act of faith. I fall into this category many times , using this as an excuse for laziness and indiscipline. And I realize it's simply because I lack the faith and courage to see that I can do the task with His strength,that subconsciously I often took the easier way out by saying 'I let God do this task for me'. I am somehow reminded to that faith without action is dead, and I can see this truthful implication in my life.

On the other hand, I think the opposite is true...for some, maybe it's harder for them to let things be out of their control. They strive to give their whole energy on something towards perfection that there's no room for God to come into their plan.
So, it's the 'letting God to the rest' part that is difficult for them to do.

Other attitudes I want to, or at least try to change -->

1) Being joyful always, not depending on how I feel when I wake up in the morning, not depending on my success, academic results, financial standing (always broke though) , my talents, failures, personal disappointments,...the list goes on.

2) Not being critical of a person,..I am surprised at how at times I judged a person by his looks, personalities and so on..

3) Looking beyond a person's physical appearance.. many a times, I did not try see the true beauty of the inner self of a person instead.

4) Having a good character, and not working on my reputation.

5) Being more hard-working...
