Turn “Need to” Into “Want to”

“Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In life, many things happen to us, and how events affect us is how we view and attach meaning to them.

The apostle Paul had this revelation, and he taught the church to view suffering in a new light—to rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance, proven character, and hope.

He knew how to reframe the undesirable things in life to become something that he wanted.

Suffering produces pain, but Paul reframed it to mean the training of his perseverance, character, and hope. Something bad became something precious and valuable.

We can apply this mindset to anything in life so that our trust is always in God and not in our self-efforts.

For example, if you see yourself putting on weight, your flesh may cause you to think, “I must go on a diet and exercise more so that I can lose weight.” This way of viewing the situation makes you reactive—on the defensive posture instead of wholeheartedly choosing to do something because you love it. When something is viewed as a burdensome chore, you will struggle with it.

Instead, why not detach your goal from the activity and just focus on the enjoyment of the beneficial action? You are not trying to exercise to lose weight—you are already young, healthy, slim, fit, and strong. Jesus paid for you to freely receive health and healing by faith.

When you exercise, there doesn’t have to be a goal. You can reframe your mindset and exercise just because you find it fun and enjoyable. “I like to run and feel my body challenging its limits. At the same time, I get time to enjoy the beautiful scenery that God has made, and listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to me.”

Wow, just like that, exercise without needing to gain anything from it becomes something desirable, just like the enjoyable activity of playing games for fun. Guess what, you will still reap the fitness benefits of exercise when you do it.

This method of refraining things is important because we don’t want to fall into the deception of getting things done by self-effort. Whatever is done by the flesh apart from God’s blessing has to be tiresomely maintained by the flesh.

If you’re struggling financially, and you’re always thinking, “I need to work so that I can earn money,” you’ll be perpetually stressed out, your performance at work will de-prove, and the self-reliance hinders God’s gracious provision and favor that must be received by faith.

No, you’re not working to earn money. You are a child of the wealthiest King of Heaven and earth—money is not something worth worrying about. You are always well-supplied and never lacking. God’s blessing makes you truly wealthy in all ways and He adds no sorrow nor trouble to it.

“Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.” (Proverbs‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Instead of feeling forced to work, work because you enjoy it, and because the people you deal with at work will benefit greatly from having Jesus as Lord. You would love to show them His glory through your words and deeds. When you think this way, you detach the goal of earning money from the action of working, and it just becomes an activity that you enjoy and look forward to—it becomes something very meaningful that you can be passionate about.

When you do your best at work to shine brightly for God, to showcase Christ in you, you will still be paid, and very likely, your job performance will improve. The state of mind will change from one that’s dragging your feet to work, to one that runs in, excited to embark on the next task for Jesus’ sake so that more may glorify our Father in Heaven.

Many times, God’s word says “repent”, and I agree that we can change our mind about all the ways we think negatively. Reacting by the flesh, we will always try to compensate for some lacking area by doing hard work, choosing man’s way instead of God’s way. To see a positive transformation, all it takes is a little reframing according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We don’t have to act like homeless orphans fending for themselves on the streets. We have a Father, and we are His beloved children. When your flesh tells you that you “need to” do something, reframe the whole thing by seeing it through Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what that sacrifice has accomplished for you. See how you can proactively “want to” do the task. Rest from fleshly self-efforts, and actively receive the supply of grace for every need!

หลังจากทำเอาแฟน ๆ เกมเดือดกันไปไม่น้อยถึงข่าวที่ว่าในเกมยุคต่อไป เราอาจจะต้องเสียเงินแพงขึ้นอีกราว ๆ 10$ (300 บาท)
.
แต่กลับกัน ผู้กำกับระดับเทพ Cory Barlog เจ้าของผลงาน God of War เผยว่า "มันจำเป็นต้องขึ้นราคาแล้ว"
.
ในสัปดาห์ที่ผ่านมา ถือว่ามีการพูดคุย และถกเถียงกันหลายอย่างมาก เกี่ยวกับราคาเกมมาตรฐานที่อาจจะโดดขึ้นมาอีกราว ๆ 10$ รวมไปถึงตัวเกมอาจจะต้องทำให้มันสั้นลง เพราะตัวเกมใช้ต้นทุนในการสร้างสูงมาก
.
Cory Barlog เองก็เห็นด้วยและทวิตว่า การทำแบบนี้ มันเป็นเรื่องที่ดีและมันจำเป็นจะต้องขึ้นราคาจริง ๆ ดีกว่าปล่อยให้เกมเกมนั้นต้องหาเงินด้วยระบบ Microtransaction แล้วมันจะยิ่งทำให้ผู้เล่นไม่ชอบใจมากขึ้นไปอีก
.
ในความหมายของเขาคือ การขึ้นราคาเพียง 10$ นั้นอาจจะเป็นทางที่ดีกว่า ที่จะให้ผู้พัฒนาเน้นหากินจากระบบอื่นเพิ่มเติม และสุดท้ายก็จะไม่มีใครพอใจกันทั้งสองฝ่าย
.
ในขณะที่ Shawn Layden เผยว่า วงการเกมทุกวันนี้ใช้ต้นทุนพุ่งสูงขึ้นมาก นับตั้งแต่เขาอยู่ในวงการเกม ราคาเกมอยู่ที่ 59.99$ เป็นมาตรฐานมาโดยตลอดนับตั้งแต่ราว ๆ ปี 80 แต่ในขณะที่เทคโนโลยีพัฒนาขึ้น ต้องใช้ทั้งทรัพยากรและบุคลากรเยอะขึ้น ค่าใช้จ่ายในการพัฒนามันสูงขึ้นมาก
.
ก็ต้องดูกันว่าจะเป็นอย่างไรกันต่อไปเกี่ยวกับราคาเกมในยุค Next-Gen นี้ครับ เราอาจจะต้องเสียเงินกันมากขึ้นจริง ๆ ก็ได้ หากมีการปรับเปลี่ยนกันขึ้นมาจริง ๆ ในอนาคตนี้

After making the fans boiling the game, it's the news that in the next generation of games, we may have to pay more expensively around 10 $ (300 baht)
.
But the director of the goddess Cory Barlog, the owner of God of War reveals that ′′ it needs to raise the price
.
In the past week, there was a lot of talk and debate about standard game prices that could jump around 10 $ including the game may have to shorten it because the game costs so high.
.
Cory Barlog self agrees and tweets that doing this is a good thing and it really needs to raise the price. It's better than letting that game earn money with Microtransaction system. And it will make players more dislike.
.
In his meaning, a 10 $ increase might be a better way for developers to focus on eating more from other systems and eventually no one will be satisfied.
.
While Shawn Layden reveals that the gaming industry nowadays has gone much higher since he has been in the game industry, the game price has been 59.99 $ as the standard since around 80, but as technology has evolved, it takes a lot of resources and staff. Rise the cost of development is much higher.
.
Let's see how it will be next about the game price in this Next-Gen era. We may really need to pay more money if it really changes in this future.

QUARANTINE

1. Today is 18th March. I am at home. I have been quarantined, required to stay at home because the Government has ordered a partial lock-down, to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

2. On the 12th of March, I met a group of young members of Parliament of Pakatan Harapan (PH), to explain what happened. At the end, before leaving they requested to have a picture with me. I did not think much of it. I did not think they would be infected. They crowded around me, closely so as to be in the photo.

3. On 17th March my assistant Sufi, showed the photo and told me one of the MP from Sarawak had proven positive when tested for Covid-19.

4. I did not think much of it. I was feeling well.Indeed, many visitors remarked on how well I looked. But the authorities thought differently. A team of doctors and nurses had arrived at the Perdana Leadership Foundation where I was working and stopped me as I was going home for lunch.

5. They took a swab and told me I had to be quarantined for 14 days from date of contact.

6. And so here I am, home-quarantined. I had been talking to people to be serious about this pandemic. I have even done a video clip. Now I must be serious and accept being quarantined.

7. This Coronavirus is something that we never had before. It is easily infectious or contagiousand in a number of cases it is fatal. We have no medicine or vaccine to counter it. All we can do is to treat symptoms like fever, cough, breathlessness and if there is lung infection and you are old, you may die. I am old, 94 years old.

8. The threat posed by Covid-19 is due to ease of infection and possible death. To manage the infection or contagion, it is necessary to isolate people. They must avoid being close to each other. Since we usually do not know who has the virus, everyone has to be far apart from each other.

9. Since men by nature are gregarious, keeping millions of people apart from each other is extremely difficult. When we work, travel, play, watch games or at the cinemas we would come together.

10. When we travel, almost always we would be confined in vehicles close together. To avoid this, we have to stop travelling. This affectsthe tourist industry greatly. In many cases there is a 70% decline.

11. The airlines would suffer. The tourist industry would suffer. The hotels ground transport, restaurants would suffer. Employees would suffer as they may be laid off. Their employers will not be earning money enough to pay them.

12. For Malaysia the tourist industry is the secondbiggest foreign exchange earner, after Petronas. The Government would lose a lot of revenue.

13. People working in the tourist industry would lose jobs and income. This would be terrible because these people need food and drink.

14. In Malaysia the Petroleum industry is not big. But it’s a big contribution to Government revenue. At times Petronas paid to the Government as much as 80 billion Ringgit. The budgeted price of one barrel of crude for 2020 was fixed at USD63 per barrel. It is now selling at less than 50% of the budgeted price. Government revenue may go down to 30 billion.

15. The stimulus package involved an increase in Government expenditure and a decrease in taxes. Meeting this extra expenditure with decreased Government revenue would be challenging.

16. In the meantime, even a partial lock down would reduce business and profits. Again,Government revenue would be affected.

17. For the small enterprises, the loss would be terrible. These people earn today for today. Even if they are able to do some business it would not be sufficient to pay for their food. The Government may have to give them financial support.

18. What is happening in Malaysia is happening to the rest of the world also. Industries may have to stop or at least reduce production. Exports and imports would be affected. Economies would go into recession worldwide. Even the richest countries would suffer.

19. Truly we all are faced with a terrible catastrophe.
