人生路轉東轉西不如「轉」得好 (第二部份)


需要反思, 尋找召命 :
- 從前的轉捩點或轉變的經驗, 有沒有引領我去回應神的呼召, 帶來真的「轉」, 幫助我行前面的人生路? 我有沒有更加了解自己, 如熱忱、強項?

「轉」= 範式轉換 (paradigm shift)
- 是思維轉變, 心意更新 : 由悔改開始; 人生最大的 「轉」就是跟從主耶穌!
- 不要效法這世界, 要心意更新而變化(羅12:2)
-價值觀(例子)--從以前的: 錢是萬能, 要及時行樂....到現在的: 要優質生活, 要得息得力
-人生觀(例子)-- 從以前的:人生如賭博, 生命沒有意義、目的.... 到現在的:人生如過客, 要活榮神益人的生命
-工作觀(例子)-- 從以前的: 越忙越好, 要適者生存.... 到現在的: 知道為誰辛苦為何忙, 活出工作為祭
-聖俗觀(例子)-- 從以前的: 要離開世界分別為聖; 人在江湖身不由己....到現在的: 要走進世界分別為聖, 工作是作光作鹽
-在事業路(例子)-- 從以前的: Making a living, 單打獨鬥... 到現在的: Making a life, 團隊網絡

「轉」之後就是「合」--事業定位、策略、計劃、目標、實踐、管理、等

定標為達標, 達標為什麽? (第二部份)


為什麽要達標?
· 為表現、証明、.... '我是成功'? 但怎樣才算成功? 是給誰看?
· 達標是責任? 是為競爭? 是為享受?....

· " 神啊!求你鑑察我,知道我的心思...." (詩 139:23-24) 
· 做神喜悅的就是成功!--這是人生觀、價值觀的「轉」
· 達到標又如何? 重要嗎? 是給賞賜?
· 小心(先)發財(後)立品思維. 神未必喜悅這樣去達標!
· 注意: "財宝在那裏, 心在那裏! "(路12: 34); "...不能又事奉神,又事奉瑪門" (路16:13)
· 達標過程可以是美
--e.g.知識、相交、神的陶造、見証持份者、影響社會 
· "成功是在於做,而不在於得;是在於嘗試,而不在於勝利" Wynn Davis

結語
· Our race is a long marathon, not a quick sprint. 
· 從定標竿、達標的過程、成就, 可以更加了解自己 (強弱項、性格、品格、靈性等) 
· 在定標、達標過程: "在你一切所行的事上、都要認定他、他必指引你的路" (箴 言 3: 6)

人生路轉東轉西不如「轉」得好 (第一部份)


轉東轉西的例子
-「拍拖」時常轉「拖友」, 但不知為什麼
-「追星」跟潮流, 時常轉「星」 (或其他偶像如手機、軟件、時裝等) , 但不知為什麼
- 生活行為、溝通風格, 好像「百變梅艷芳」, 很難了解
- 沒有穩定的教會, 也不知道自己的取向
- 頻密地轉工, 甚至轉行, 但不知想走什麼事業路

為什麼繼續轉東轉西?
- 感性原因: 
享受轉變的過程; 沈迷於從前的光輝; 恐怕「登陸」; '偏行己路';....
- 理性原因: 
仍在不同概念中選擇; 還未定位; 用自己的方法追求成功;....
- 不知道原因: 
仍然是迷失, 尋找答案: "我是誰?", "我活着為什麼?", .....
