Pathway Source

With a heart that so desires,
a passion so flaming,
a drive unstoppable,
I have time and again overlooked what is now.
Expecting the finest, and best,
yet forgetting I am not perfect.
Or maybe I am.

That pretty much sums up my day, and journey so far. There are so many things I tell myself I yet to have, constantly expecting more and more, but I have long forgotten to stop and look at who I have become. I'm truly grateful for all that I am now. Being on this path brings me to greater realization of many things, which I wonder why only now? And Emerson's quote was such apt, it brings me to realise that life's more of a journey than a script. It's been a long time since I felt so alive. Thank you guys.

ps. Really I'm enjoying my studies now, stretching some muscles that have been rested for very long time.

Came across a quote from Emerson you guys might find inspiration from.

"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos and the Dark."

Guys,

you have to go to this link. Im reading this, and theres a green point system (Sort of for the UK, and i have to say it is AMAZING) take a look at least and just delight at the design and ease of the information.

WOW

Hey Guys,

Been working out my mind and body for a bit today.
Becoming an activist is not easy, i never supposed it would be, but an overhaul of beliefs, habits and making a stand for myself, amongst the many other stands like being a vegetarian, is like hitting my body with a golf club. The sudden jolt of no nicotine (I am Ciggy Free for a day), The morning meditations and Yoga, the juggling of my immense workload, studies and getting the technical skills to build and maintain a webspace is making me cranky.

But the passion is up, the digging for distinctions has been fruitful.
I'm beginning to understand the psyche of an Activist. What kind of values and principles he hold's dear. The amount of courage and discipline require to succeed in the impossible is staggering.

An Activist Lives simply.
An Activist knows acutely his impact on the world.
An Activist would rather die than betray his stand.
An Activist lives by knowledge and understanding.
An Activist Sees the power of self-expression and voice.

So far, that's about it for 4 days of Pathway.

My research notes are piling up and are staggering. I have a fantasy of publishing a History of Activism Book, since i can't find it on amazon or any library. I don't think it exist, but i'm digging for it still. Imagine, getting funding from a University or Foundation to capture Activism from it's roots to present day. That book will not take 3 months. (haha)

I have yet to acknowledge past GF's yet, but i will....

It is a struggle, this journey, similar to what you shared about Kelveen. But i feel like i'm only at 5% yet my body, mind and spirit is feeling like i'm at 99% already. It's strange; it's feels like i'm starting to get to know myself.

So onwards towards the now... I'm still thinkering with the Wordpress - it's much better to use. Why i'm doing this, is the practice of my Activist Skill set - Internet Publishing.


CL - For Quotes, can you go to the layout? If so, you will see the Quotes box. Click it, than just enter the fields. Play with it....

Kelv - Good to get that strange phonecall from you challenging me on my task... Thanks man, i need more, i can't do this on my own. I guess maybe none of us can.

Keep the research going, and I love you.

• The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined.
• Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
• Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.

It's 2.22am in the morning. Just came back from my walk. It's drizzling out there, and a little windy.

All of a sudden, I had this sensation that I don't know this place at all. I don't know nature, I don't know nothing. It seemed like I was in foreign land.

I happened to chance by a solid movie during my study break time, "I dream about Africa, a true story", about a lady who gave her life dedicating to protecting animals in Africa from being poached. It intrigues me, as I witness the life that an activist lives. Tough, challenging, full of uncertainty, danger, but yet fulfilled. She lived on a heighten state every single moment, for nature lives no mercy, and takes away her loved ones.

Alone sometimes, yet free. Lonely, yet with nature as her playing field.

I began to wonder..

A life of luxury, prosperity, abundance, wealth,

or

a life of ruggedness, simplicity, hardship, but making my voice heard.

or both?

Thanks Dennet and Kelveen for walking along me, I saw further as I stood on your shoulders.

By the way, Dennet, Journal your experiences lah, We want to know what's going on with you too.

Love,
CL

Hello fellow aspiring activists...:)

I feel more alive and awake over the last couple of days, than i can say for the last two weeks.

There are so much struggles going on right now...from sheer lazyness to getting into my favourite mode ; Sleeping!

I was thinking about it, and man, i lack dedication. And i am so commited to explore on this word. I must say, its rewarding. No more tomorrows, no more, untills...if i have to appreciate anyone else besides Yasmin today, it would be myself, and you two guys. I can never imagine going on a journey with anyone else.

Ive started my exercise regime, and i have planned my programme.

1. For every seven day, i will exercise, 30-45 mins (time is progressive), one day in the gym, and one day in the pool.
2. Ill do my IPPT before my birthday, so i have one month to go!!!! So thats my gauge for my meter. Aiming for a gold, but a silver is definately a win for me!!

I am searching for a few links on the green point system, i am having trouble, so if anyone can point the way, please please support me on this.

I am also researching on the education and feminist movement founder. There are more than 10!!! jesus!!! they really go in groups! Good good learning point here though. Power in movements :)

So i am off to my research, and will post the links soon.

Love u all, and love the journals. Keep them coming

Hey guys,

I think a little more context setting for this blog....

This space is for journal purposes.

I think it's best if we use this space to journal, our transition to being Activist. The struggles, the lessons, the support, the inspiration, the triumphs and everything in between; should be included.

The documentation of our journey will be essential, when looking to improve the structure, the context and the content of the Ground Zero program. I hope you understand what i mean. Simply put: Journal your adventure of becoming an activist. The Good, the bad and the ugly. We are defining and giving life to this word, ACTIVIST.

So post away...

PS: I'm still working on the Wordpress Version....

Love

Was appreciated by Jared first thing in the morning when I woke up. It was a journey well walked, didn't felt like I did a lot, but looking at the result, I'm grateful.

Then I got to really start looking at what's with my resistance towards relationship, my beliefs behind it. Perhaps one thing that really was in the way was just myself. Me refusing to let go of control, and just experience what I truly desire.

Have been bucking up with my studies, momentum's picking up but I still think it's slow. And time's getting shorter. So, real serious dedication required down here. Like no joke.

To activism!

Ok update on my day,

Came up with the name of the Team.
Pathway is the team name
Source is our number as founding team.

Eventually we will have Pathway 1, pathway 2 and so on.

The Activist Program will now be called
EnoughTalk's - Ground Zero
How, thoughts?

Decided to do the minutes of the meeting, as i figured i would create a Ground Zero Pathway Handbook as well; therefore instead of kelveen and I doing a double job, i will just handle it myself....

Expect it our by Tmrw night.

I think i will start on Dedication as the focus of my journal, at least for a while. More on that Tmrw.....

I also started my research....Muahaha.....(I am lost)

Ok it's 5 am...

Sleep...

Oh and Chang Liang, You need to score on that paper.. 4.0 is a must.... Or i will kill you.

Folks,

I stayed up all the way till now 2.42am to prepare for my exams tomorrow. Never ever stayed up so late to study before, felt really good that I held on to my word and never gave up. Will be going for my walk in a moment's time just before going to bed. I showed appreciation to thao today, by being there for me yesterday when things were getting a little stressed up. I'm excited embarking on this journey. I'm gonna hold the bar high for you guys.

Chang Liang
