Some scribbles in my pocket notebook

Happiness is not leisure. It is not retirement or luxury, it is not the easy attainment of pleasure.

Happiness is the transpiration of growth. It is not merely doing something enjoyable--it is becoming better at it. And the actual realization of aspirations is only momentary in its pleasure because it is only an indication of growth, not its finality.

Too often we attain an object and wonder at the inconsistency between it and our expectations. It is because our souls flourish when we ourselves flourish--attainment without continuance is nothing but a halt to what was food to our souls.

More Love, More Power

It's an amazing feeling when things that don't go your way all come together in the end to harmoniously reveal that it was all in due time to make things go His way.

Collaborating with Danni Chung was such a blessed experience.  I know Danni from years ago when we attended the same church.  She and I attended the same college as well, and now we are coincidentally in the same city in South Korea.  We took this opportunity to collaborate a song together.. but the events leading up to it.. well, it never seems as divine if it isn't personally felt, but let's just say that everything seemed to happen exactly the way they should as willed by God.

Allison Rhee filmed everything, and Danni edited the video.  Enjoy!
