Find Your Life Calling


A question I used to dread being asked was one we are all too familiar with growing up and sometimes still find ourselves struggling with. What do you want to do? It sounds so simple, like it is something as easy as a want. An impulse we find ourselves indulging in like wanting a drink of water. But a topic could never be more not simple. After all our future does not ride on simply doing what we want to do but is dependent on various factors that need to be considered. Do I want to be a poor street peddling musician that is pursuing passion or a wealthy surgeon sacrificing time for money? Do I even have what it takes to do the job, the ability to fuse words into a relateable message that connects deep with the audience as a blogger? We ask ourselves these impossible questions and find ourselves with no answer to the original, what do you want to do. Sometimes the answer is more simple then we had previously imagined.

The Genesis


In the beginning when Daniel created this blog, the blog was a formless void, formatted with a generic base template. Then Daniel said  "Let there be new generic template", and saw that it was good. Daniel called the blog Thoughts of Babel. He saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.

Who.
Daniel Ahn. I am on a journey to become closer with God through church, people, ideas, food, song, and life. I go to church, read the bible, pray, eat healthy, exercise regularly, sing and dance everywhere, think too much, and try too hard to be funny.

What.
          "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning            of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them".
       
          Genesis 11:6

The Tower of Babel was a story where the LORD confused language and scattered people. Today, communicating with one another seems so difficult. Not only because of the differences in languages, but ambiguity from word definitions, to sentence structure, and even body language. The result of our inability to fully understand one another has been the cause of war, discrimination, stagnation, hate, and every other evil thing to happen to this world.

Why.
Thoughts of Babel seeks to communicate my language and thoughts to the world. It hopes to help others realize their own thoughts, and the thoughts of others around them, so that we can all come closer to speaking one language like in the times of Genesis. It hopes to create a community where people can openly communicate and learn to understand one another while growing in faith.

 One language, one people, one God.

SUMMARY:
My name is Daniel Ahn and I am blogging my thoughts and experiences. The world is too big a place to experience in one life time. I hope to create a community where we can all share and vicariously experience life to appreciate it the way it was supposed to be. Welcome.
