Life Management

It's coming to that time of the year again. Christmas.. It's the time that gets me thinking about everything.

Recently, I've been reading a few books on analysing financial markets and one of the common topics is technical analysis. For just about everything there is to trade in the markets, there'll always be a technical way of analysing the probability of future success, and ultimately hoping to lead to the right decision. If only trend of life would adhere to the world of probability and statistics, making decisions and sticking by them would be so much easier won't it? Knowing A+B = Success in one situation doesn't always mean the model works for another.

I'm finding decisions extremely hard to manage, and there's no clear model to overlay my decision making process. No one to blame, I think that's part of the experience and integrates into my personal learning curve. Somewhere in the middle of it all, I need to relocate where I had left God out of the equations. As real as a trader's haunch, there God will be in navigating the way to the north. The never ending way up.

I've made so many bad decisions. I can't undo them. I can't unwind time. But I sincerely pray, God will guide the damage control process that needs to follow. And restore the collateral damage that had ensued. I apologise if I had not seemed to be the godly person most would expect me to be. Carnality has eaten a large portion of my persona. If spiritual cellular regeneration were possible, I would like to attain that at the speediest instant. Still, I conclude with this. The journey of life is about evolution, never about revolution.

I hope I do not have an unhappy Christmas. But I wish all the more for you all.
Happy holidays. Happy birthday Jesus (presumably).
