But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.

For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.

Trust in God’s unfailing love.
Hope in God’s good name.

Two simple actions — yet both require deep faith.

It feels fitting that this message of trust and hope comes on a Friday. After five days of grinding through the week, faith can weaken as energy runs low and our eyes drift toward the weekend. Fatigue has a way of testing what we truly trust in.

God has already shown us evidence that His love never fails. He keeps His promises, even when circumstances suggest otherwise. God makes the impossible possible. We hope in His name because He is almighty and because He wants what is best for us.

We stand firm in our love for God knowing that His love covers us. Walking with Him gives us hope for the life He wants us to have. Trust grows when we stay. Praise follows remembrance. Hope becomes steady when we anchor it in who God is — not in changing circumstances that come and go.

Give me strength to stay anchored to You, Lord.

I planned to meet a friend today who needed help, so I woke up early and did my 36-minute sit. It’s 10 minutes shorter than my usual 46, but it gave me time to write and still make it out in time.

Plans changed — she’s still stuck at the hospital for her checkup — so here I am, writing this after preparing a document she needs.

Today’s sit was interesting. Knowing when it would end helped me not fixate on the timer. Yesterday, all I wanted was for the alarm to ring. Today felt different. There was more observing of thoughts.

The mind still wandered, but I found the joy and intention to keep bringing my attention back to the breath. I realize I need to revisit The Mind Illuminated to refresh techniques that can help keep my sits engaging.

One thought that kept returning was how the emptiness at the end of the out-breath feels longer than it did a couple of years ago. Just an observation — but an interesting one.

Yesterday I wanted to do my long run, but I didn’t feel like I could complete it, so I settled for a short one instead. It’s been two weeks since my last run. Time really flies when you let habits slip.

Tomorrow is my family Christmas lunch, and I plan to go to the gym before that. It’s been months since my first — and only — session. I keep telling myself I want to bring the habit back, yet I keep procrastinating. Writing this here is my way of holding myself accountable.

Last night I came home late after meeting two friends to help them incorporate their company. This was a door God opened, and I intend to walk through it.

An opportunity to help anchor a business that supports companies setting up in Singapore presented itself to me so I agreed. Yesterday was my first case with two Singaporeans. The next one involves a Vietnamese and a Singaporean — a bit more complex — but these will form the foundation of a new corporate services business we’re starting.

God, bless us with more work. Help me grow this business while I continue writing faithfully.

I didn’t meditate before bed last night because I was exhausted, but I’m writing this as a reminder that I need to return to that practice consistently.

Yesterday brought a low-cap degen coin called MEMEVERSE. I entered, it pumped, and I didn’t fully exit. I left a moon bag overnight — which is now down 50%.

The good news: I exited about 75% of my position earlier, so the damage wasn’t too bad. I’m holding the dust for now, along with my bag of NOTHING.

My takeaway: I’m still holding too long.

For memecoins, my new rule is simple — once it’s up 30%, I exit fully. We’re still in a bear market, and capital preservation matters more than moon dreams. This rule will change only when the market clearly shifts.

I think I’ve reached the ceiling of what the mass-following method can do. Twitter no longer allows me to follow more accounts.

So now comes the pivot.

I’ll slowly unfollow lower-follower accounts — maybe five every hour — and shift my focus toward posting and replying more intentionally. Growth will likely slow, but that’s okay. This stage forces me to rely on better content instead of shortcuts.

This was always going to be unsustainable. Now it’s time to solve a new problem.

The weekend is here. Christmas is one week away.

As we continue grinding, let’s not forget God’s unfailing love. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. Because of that, we can trust in His love and hope in His good name.

All glory to God — forever and ever. Amen.

So what should we do?
