It’s not a very encouraging news in the new year to get to know a dear colleague has decided to move to Shanghai and explore a new career course, plus the person our studio has been waiting up on from New York since last August, he suddenly decided not to join us after we have applied and successfully gotten his working visa in HK. It’s not the end of the world but it’s just not very encouraging. My little colleague said we must hate her for her decision, which is totally not true as the studio’s ultimate goal is that we use our creativity to make an impact on the society which at the same time will fulfill us, and the most obvious outcome is that we all would feel happy with our work. If my colleague will feel happier elsewhere, then she needs to move on and get there. But what my learning through the situations is that, me and my boss are extremely calm and stable. We just sit down and think things through and find out what the quickest solution and what could be done to make things better. Joyce Meyer’s sermons this morning for me on Podcast is about how to be stable. To be stable, we cannot let our emotions overtake us and bring us where it wants to be. To be stable is to feel joyful even we can’t land at where you want to be. This requires extreme discipline and submission of ourselves to God and let Him handle the situation. I never realize it’s so important to be stable, not until I recall I used to work with a person who is extremely moody and emotional, every time when I sense that there are things which could set her off, I felt terrified coz I just hate to see things explode and she gave me that pressure. This will be a reminder to me that I can never let myself behave similarly, we have to make ourselves emotionally stable, and that is one of the best way to show our love.
