Responsibility Is A Choice

Unforgettable moment and experience. As thousands of people are queuing for Asia Conference, the usher with their T-shirt motto "I Serve, Can I help You?" ... walking around giving bottles of mineral water to the multitudes.

And I saw one Usher that catch my attention. This hunchback guy serving as Usher, walking around many many times to different area of the queue, giving bottles of water to the people. Hours upon hours, he was still walking front and back, making sure nobody lacked of water. God taught me something here, this guy could have millions of rights to complain about his life much more than us and serve his own feeling. But this guy choose to serving God and serving the need of others. What led him to be boldly made that decision?

Rejection, hurt, discouragement, disappointment, feeling of being treated unfair, self pity ... has been experienced in my life journey and I believe in anyone's life journey as well. Many times our reaction is embracing victim mentality, become bitter, blaming others, blaming situations and blaming ourselves. I guess this is the usual respond from majority of human being. But unusual respond is always a choice. I believe this is what makes this hunchback guy boldly embracing an overcomer mentality rather than victim mentality, by courageously making an unusual decision: willingness to take responsible of our own life. When you do what you can, God will do what you can't.
