I can't get no satisfaction~

Day 08 – A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.


I am tempted to say every time that I go to Memphis Blues with the guys. Umm.. tons and tons of MEAT. The whole point of the blog is try to be deep and reflective, so I better give a better answer to that.

There were definitely a couple moments where I felt satisfied, not lacking a sense of direction of purpose. However, the one that resonated with me the most is my second trip to East Asia. I was on a university campus talking to student about spirituality and introducing them to the most important relationship in the World: Relationship with Jesus Christ. I met a student there, codename: sentinel, who was interested to know more about God and develop a genuine relationship with God. He went to a catholic church and was asking me a lot of questions. We met one night at the courtyard and that was when I got to explain to him what it means to have assurance of Salvation. It was an engaging conversation and we had a great time talking. I did not find out towards the end of the night that he has an exam the next morning. This was just such an odd sight because as Asians, you would never choose to take away time from studying by talking about spirituality. I was very encouraged and grateful that he took the time.

I still remember that night as I was walking back to the dorm by myself. I remember the joy that I felt that night. I thought to myself, it makes no sense for anyone to take away 2 month of his life to do ministry in Asia. People must think I am an idiot by not working for the 2 months. Yet, that at that moment, I didn't care, nothing seemed to matter. I realized I was partnering with the creator of the universe and He graciously invited me to share the greatest news to others. It is one of the very few moments in my life where i felt "this is what life is about! this is why I am here on Earth!" We definitely don't follow God on the basis of feeling good about ourselves, but that doesn't mean that we don't receive joy from God as we obey him and follow his call for us. That night, I was satisfied to the fullest.

The other time I can think of on the top of my head is probably when mel told me that she would be my girlfriend. But THAT is a tale for another day....

Performers have the special ability, even among the Artisans, to delight those around them with their warmth, their good humor, and with their often extraordinary skills in music, comedy, and drama. Whether on the job, with friends, or with their families, Performers are exciting and full of fun, and their great social interest lies in stimulating those around them to take a break from work and worry, to lighten up and enjoy life.

Performers are plentiful, something over ten percent of the population, and this is fortunate, because they bring pleasure to so many of us. Performers are the people for whom it can truly be said "all the world's a stage." Born entertainers, they love the excitement of playing to an audience, and will quickly become the center of attention wherever they are. Performers aren't comfortable being alone, and seek the company of others whenever possible -- which they usually find, for they make wonderful playmates. Performers are smooth, talkative, and witty; they always seem to know the latest jokes and stories, and are quick with wisecracks and wordplay-nothing is so serious or sacred that it can't be made fun of. Performers also like to live in the fast lane, and seem up on the latest fashions of dress, food, drink, and music. Lively and uninhibited, Performers are the life of the party, always trying to create in those around them a mood of eat, drink, and be merry.

The Performers' talent for enjoying life is healthy for the most part, though it also makes them more subject to temptations than the other types. Pleasure seems to be an end in itself for them, and variety is the spice of life. And so Performers are open to trying almost anything that promises them a good time, not always giving enough thought to the consequences.

Like the other Artisans, Performers are incurably optimistic - "Always look on the bright side," is their motto -- and they will avoid worries and troubles by ignoring them as long as possible. They are also the most generous of all the types, and second only to the Composer Artisans [ISFPs] in kindness. Performers haven't a mean or stingy bone in their body-what's theirs is yours-and they seem to have little idea of saving or conserving. They give what they have to one and all without expectation of reward, just as they love freely, and without expecting anything in return. In so many ways, Performers view life as an eternal cornucopia from which flows an endless supply of pleasures.
