A Holy Man

"Never lower the bar."
-Mr.Hardt

For once, I'm glad I attended something related to church this weekend. Actually, the whole experience really lets me relax from so much stress from other things, but I somehow end up agitated despite that. But not this time, because I've found my like-minded group of people.
Before Synergy, I thought I was alone in believing in certain things, like waiting for true love. But after listening to Mr.Hardt's funny and inspiring stories and explainations I know that those beliefs I thought were only mine are actually shared by people of my own religion. I realized that's probably where I formed those beliefs from.
So I don't have any bad feelings toward my religion anymore. I know it's not the easier way to live- Mr.Hardt said so himself- but I think that it will pay off in the long run. I have faith that it's something much bigger than I ever gave it credit for, and it deserves a chance.
I'm really glad I had this weekend to see that.
Secondly, about the beliefs thing- I really am relieved to know I'm not being stupid. I truly hoped that I was doing and believing the right things and now I know I am. I'll still have to work on that confidence thing, but honestly, I don't think I'll ever get it. Pride just isn't my forte.
So anyway, Mr.Hardt was speaking directly to us women when he said, "Never lower the bar".
He said that the number one question girls ask him in his surveys or whatever is "Why aren't there any good guys?"
There are good guys. But unfortunately (malheuresment =D ), there are fewer than there have been before. Mr.Hardt warned us not to lower our standards and settle for less and less. He said that we'll find that "holy man" someday that WILL be perfect for us if we keep faith. Just like how he met his future wife when he was dared to wear his "Jesus. JESUS. JESUS!!!" shirt to school. (Lyn and I would have loved to have those shirts, just for the memory. I wonder why they didn't give them to us for attending =S)
As I sat there listening to his stories, I wished everyone could be there listening, too. Because it really was great advice that would give people so much more hope and inspiration. I know that if the entire world could have heard him, they would feel just as inspired and reassured as I did, and I really wish everyone gets that opportunity someday.
