"MAYBE IT'S TIME TO REST ON OUR LAURELS."
--
Pandemic has brought up a lot of things I need to heal through, and this is one of them: the idea of the "perpetual achievement". Sound familiar?
We glooorify it. What you did today is good, yeah - but what about what you'll do TOMORROW? You'd better be going higher, stronger, faster - never stop, don't you dare. Post the next ig picture. Generate tomorrow's tiktok content. Hope for likes. Touched the sky? Blow a hole through the atmosphere and torpedo straight on to the next burning star. The you from yesterday? We don't know her. We're better. Upgraded. V 2.0.
I've been living my life like this for years now, but the past 2 years have forced us all to BE slowed down and re-evaluate.
Don't get me wrong. Ambition & achievement are wonderful. (There are certainly many more things I want to achieve, and much coming up that I'm going to be sharing with you guys. Never stop dreaming.) But dreaming becomes a problem when it turns living into a nightmare, because you can't stop trying to put distance between yourself and yourself. Stop being the shadow you are continually trying to win. It's EXHAUSTING. Aren't you exhausted? I am.
So maybe the truth is this: that we were put on this earth to do ONE good thing with our lives. ONE properly good thing.
And maybe that's winning a great Waterloo style battle, or achieving a certain dream. Maybe it's finishing one great performance. One great thesis. A beautiful painting. An espresso magnum opus.
And then - we let that be enough. And we rest on our laurels. "Greatness" does not have to be continually proven. Likes are transient, clout & remembrance fade. Do what you do because you love it, and it is good, and it fulfils you. If when your day comes to an end you can say "I did this one thing to the best of my ability and it was good" - that is enough, hero. Be at peace. The bards will sing of that one deed. The song will be equally wonderful without infinite stanzas.
So rest on your laurels, goddesses. You've earned it.

THỬ SỨC VỚI ĐỀ THI IELTS SPEAKING PART 2 - QUÝ 2/2021
Các em có thể download file pdf ở bên dưới nhé, gồm bài mẫu + từ vựng + tạm dịch tiếng Việt
Describe a science subject that you studied and liked.
You should say:
* What it was
* Who the teacher was
* How you could use it in life
* Why you liked it
When I read the cue card, the first thing springing to mind was Physics. It was a mandatory subject in secondary school and I was instantly impressed by such a great subject in the very first lesson. It basically involved both theoretical lessons and practical ones. We studied theories in the classroom and then carried out experiments in the laboratory.
I still vividly remember our Physics teacher - Mrs Thanh - a patient, understanding and knowledgeable teacher. Her competence in teaching Physics was undisputed and her unique teaching method made learning the subject a piece of cake.
Learning Physics, I’ve gained an insight into some aspects of science. I realized that everything happened for a reason. Thanks to Physics, I could explain some common phenomena, such as the formation of a storm or why lightning always comes before the advent of a thunder’s sound.
Physics develops my logical thinking. I have always been conscious of the consequences of an action. For instance, when I have to be faced with a dilemma such as choosing the right university, I think twice and take account of all the criteria like school prestige, facilities, majors and my strengths and weaknesses before making up my mind.
You may think it has nothing to do with Physics but to me, it’s the outcome of learning Physics by which I have my logical thinking sharpened. That’s why I like Physics a great deal.

A Scene of Heavenly Glory
“For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm, the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them, for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”; and so fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:18-24 WEB)
Imagine the passage above as a scene in a movie. The person who wrote the epistle to the Hebrews described it most beautifully.
Picture this with me: a mountain on earth burning with fire, shrouded in blackness and darkness, with lightning streaking and thunder booming all around. This is Mount Sinai when the Old Covenant of the Law was given. A trumpet blast sounds and the voice of God gives a severe warning with a threat of death as two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments appears, floating in front of the screen.
Suddenly, the tablets are snatched away as if by a strong magnetic force and balanced upon Jesus’ hands right before the nails are driven into His hands. As the Roman soldiers hammer the nails down, the stone tablets are also attached to Jesus’ hands at the cross, crucified with Him.
Then, the camera pans upwards, zooming past the clouds. You see Mount Zion, the mountain of God in the distance, and the heavenly Jerusalem sitting upon it, radiating gloriously like a priceless jewel. Reaching a huge pearl gate of the city, the gate rolls aside, and myriads of angels fly across like a flocks of migrating birds, singing beautiful songs.
You see the river of the water of life dividing the city into half, with trees of life on its left and right.
The camera follows the river that proceeds from God’s throne, into His sanctuary at the highest point of the city, and you see the Father seated as judge over all, and standing on His right hand is Jesus smiling and His arms outstretched to welcome you with a loving embrace.
The scene ends with a close up on the ark of the covenant in the sanctuary that has the blood of Christ sprinkled upon the mercy seat, and the camera zooms into just one drop of His blood crying out for your blessing, redemption, forgiveness, favor, healing, restoration, and all good things as the credits roll.
Can someone please turn this video idea into reality? I would if I had the skills and funding to do so!
The Bible contains the geographical layout of Heaven, and hints about what we can expect to see in eternity. In my eBook “A Tour of Heaven and Eternity”, you can join me on this discovery journey to see what awaits us beyond this lifetime: https://bit.ly/heavenandeternity
