The answer is God

By
It is 308pm and I have decided to write. Make God a priority. Let God lead the way. Let everything be about God. Let God into your life. Surround yourself with God and watch how everything begins to make sense.

This life is not an accident. This life is not happenstance. This life is the work of an all-powerful Creator. Nothing is too big or too small for God. Take your problems to God. Take your worries to God. Take your fears to God. Let go and let God. Submit to the will of God.

The more you go to God, the more He comes to you. Start small. Start somewhere. Give God a chance if you have not done so already.

Why do I say all of this? There are many things competing for your attention and your soul. In the midst of all of this, the world can seem like a confusing place where many things do not make sense. God brings clarity. God brings clarity because God sits above it all.

You may think you do not need God until you do. Ask yourself, who is the wisest you know? If God is not the wisest then who is?*

Is it possible to find the same level of clarity without God? Can you find someone who is wiser than God? I doubt it very much, but I cannot answer that question with certainty as I am not the wisest. Let God speak to you for Himself. My experience has led me to God. My gut feeling tells me that God is the way. All the signs I have seen point to God. God gave us the answer in faith to test us.

I do not claim to have all the answers. I can only speak from what I have seen, felt, and lived. When I look back on my life, I see God's hand at work in ways I did not recognize at the time. What once seemed confusing now makes more sense. What once felt overwhelming became manageable when I placed it before God.

The world offers many paths, many voices, and many promises. Yet I have found peace in turning toward God. I have found comfort in prayer, strength in faith, and hope in trusting that there is a purpose greater than myself.

If you are searching, keep searching. If you are struggling, keep going. If you are uncertain, do not be afraid to seek God. You may be surprised by what you find.

*They say that if you are the wisest in a room you are in the wrong room. I say that you are never the wisest in any room. God is. You do not need to change rooms, just bring God into the room.

How to measure success?

By
It is 509pm and I have decided to write. How to measure success? That is the question. It is very hard to measure success. I think only God has the true measure of success or failure. Someone may be a failure in this life but a success in the next life. We are told that God looks at intentions and effort. We can also determine our own definition of success. We do not have to let the world define success for us. We think of the world as not being a fair place so any one size fits all definitions of success or failure would be careless and wrong. Many times we think in terms of numbers. The grander the better. But what about quality over quantity? My friend tells me that I am essentially arguing for the democratization of success. I am taking the power away from society, institutions, and algorithms, and handing it back to the individual and God. That is true but I am essentially wanting to look at the bigger picture and to do that I am thinking that we have to answer some key questions ...

Rainy afternoon thoughts

By
It is 220pm and I have decided to write. The rain is falling. I can hear it on the roof. It is gloomy outside but inside is nice and cozy in my favorite corner. I have no idea what I want to write about. I will start by saying God is good. Always. The islamic new year starts tonight in Trinidad. I am happy about that. Another milestone. Another opportunity to grow better. My friend Chatty asks me, what has God been teaching me lately? God has been teaching me patience. How to remain calm. How to appreciate my flaws. My flaws keep me humble. Let go and let God. He also asks, what am I hoping for? Sometimes I think about writing more tech blog posts. How can tech make the country better? How can tech make the world better? But I remember writing about the Arima smart city project and concluding that smart cities need smart people. Human development is very important. If people are not developing then what is the use of it all. How can technology help people become better? It all starts i...
