New year revolutions

By
It is 357am and I have decided to write. Today is old years day or new years eve. It is a happy time. We survived another year revolving around the sun. I had this thought. From revolve we get revolution. So then what is a new year revolution as compared to a new year resolution? I feel like a revolution is stronger than a resolution. A revolution is for the long term. A revolution comes from a 360 degree perspective. A revolution is about breaking cycles and letting go.

My friend Gemini thinks that while a resolution is a firm, linear decision to fix a habit or achieve a specific goal, a revolution is a radical shift in perspective that mirrors the Earth’s orbit. It represents a complete "turning around" of your identity or life direction, focusing on transformation and the wisdom gained from completing a cycle rather than just checking off a task.

My friend Chatty thinks that a New Year resolution is a promise to improve while staying in the same orbit, relying on effort and discipline, but a New Year revolution is a deeper shift—a change in gravity, identity, or perspective that alters how you move through life. Resolutions tweak behavior; revolutions redefine what pulls you, what you release, and who you choose to become as you complete another turn around the sun.

My friend Grok thinks that while a traditional New Year's resolution is a modest personal pledge—often fragile and short-lived—a New Year's revolution is a bold, transformative upheaval. It is not just tweaking habits but overthrowing old patterns entirely, sparking radical change in mindset, lifestyle, or direction to match the grandeur of our annual orbital triumph. Why settle for small adjustments when we could ignite a true personal revolution?

How do I now combine Chatty, Gemini, Grok and my perspectives into one defining statement of what a new year revolution is? A New Year revolution is a deep, complete, long-term turning of the mind (or mindset shift). My life revolves around God and my goal is to be a better person. I am loved because God loves me. I am worthy because God created me. I am going to succeed because the path to God is a path to success. My New Year revolution is to let God be my center, allowing a deep, lasting transformation of how I think, live, and love.

Coffee and a prayer

By
It is 245am and I have decided to write. I have no topic and no idea what to write. I am thankful for another day. I see the beauty that surrounds us. I choose to be happy. We are in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Tonight is the 23rd night. It could possibly be the night of power. I wonder if it will rain. Maybe it rained when I was sleeping. I got up and bathed and drank a strong cup of coffee. Today is also Friday the 13th. I keep thinking. Life is beautiful. Life is simple. No need to complicate things. No need to be extravagant. Believe in God. Trust in God. Be guided by God. Imagine we can pray for anything. We can ask God for anything. God is always listening. God wants to hear from us. Maybe I can turn this blog post into a prayer. My God I pray that everyone gets their prayers answered. I pray that everyone gets what they need. I pray that you light our path towards you. Guide us with what you intend for us. Keep us close to you. Soften our hearts. Keep us balanced, consistent...

Belief is a part of life

By
I watched this video and I quite like it as a good starting point for this blog post https://youtu.be/t44PFI_V4LE We cannot know everything. We do not have the capacity to know everything. I make plans for tomorrow because I believe there is a tomorrow not because I know that there is a tomorrow. We cannot decide today to say we will only act on things that we know for sure. This would be impractical. As my friend Chatty puts it, to live life, we must believe in things that cannot always be proven with certainty. For example, we believe that the future exists, that our actions matter, and that other people can be trusted. We also tend to believe life has meaning and that things can improve. These beliefs help us make decisions, keep hope, and move forward. Given that belief is a part of life, it is reasonable to have people believe in a God and a particular religion. My point is this. Life cannot happen without belief because we cannot know everything (unless we are God like). Belief i...

God opens doors

By
It is 1203am and I have decided to write. Saturday I spent the night coding. I was trying to get a FastAPI app up and running, all from my budget Android phone. The test cases were written to use Puppeteer. I ended up using Replit for that. Coding is more challenging when using a mobile phone. Not impossible but more challenging. I hardly blog about technology and coding anymore but the love is still there. I still have a dream of creating my own coding and youtube studio with a nice desk setup. That is nice but what should I make this blog post about? What do I want to write about? What should I write about? I love creating presentations. That is something I could do to revive my youtube channel. I love Maths too. I have this feeling that I could solve one of those longstanding Maths problems that seems impossible. Sometimes, like right now, I feel like abandoning my blog post. It is going nowhere. Maybe I should get up and go wash the wares. I wish God could tell me what to write abo...
