The Blessed Life

A new dusk to a new dawn with a new beginning.   Year 2 0 2 4 – a combination of number 8, which is considered ‘very lucky’ in Chinese culture, had been a good year for me.  From a twist of event to the previous year 2023, where I lost (another) sister, 2024 started with new resolution.  2 0 2 3 was a year of spiritual awakening and it gave me the insight to make things right. I wanted 2024 to celebrate life - my life.  I wanted it to be a year where I shared the celebration with those whom I loved and cared.  It was a paying back thing for their love and care towards me.  The truth for me to have lived up to the year 2024 was a feat out from their love. In January, I found new meaning to what I had previously lost.  The first month, January 2024, brought new meaning to my life.  It was camaraderie of love all over again.  Love, to which I had lost, was found again.  With new meaning, new wealth, new hope of benefiting from an old idea t...

Random Thoughts #24-007 --------- To know peace, I need to hear my words.  To feel it, I need to observe my actions.  Am I aware of my spoken words and the tone they are voiced out?  Am I conscious of my actions and how they affect me and others?   Words speak my mind.  Actions are the reactions of my heart.  Words and actions are energetic forces to form my well being.  They are the AI of who I am, of what I am.  They shape the way I live as a human being.  They reflect me, all the good and all the bad.  They contour my auric fields.   I learn Peace is equated with the Earth Law.  Everything about life is the 70 – 30 equation.  As a living being, I can never be at peace 100 per cent, 365 days a year.  I need to accept the equation.  I must decide which side I want to be at.  I need to be aware at what dominant side I tend to be in - the positive or the negative?   What is peace?  How do I define i...

Random Thoughts #24-006 --------- In the silence of a beautiful dawn, God wants me to be aware.  He always does.  Yes, it would be good that I shine His Light courageously, constantly and consistently.  I have to do it for myself. Of late, I am getting signs where things are changing.  The old me no longer exists.  Today, I am not the same person I once was, though my soul probably is.  A lot has changed.  I should not expect my old capabilities and shortfalls to last. Today, many old versions of me have left me.  Today, the new me arises.  Hopefully, the bad ones go and the good things come / stay.  Whatever they are, I pray for heightened awareness moving forward. My younger days had been free spirited.  My remaining days task me to prepare for homecoming.  Now, I need to live with the full extent on merits accumulation and with convicted faith.  What is created today is the abundance for tomorrow.  When there is fa...

Random Thoughts #24-005 ======= Mostly, we are created with a pair and few single major vital organs.  We have a pair of eyes but each eye, the left and right, has its own view.  We have two ears and each hears at different frequencies.  We have two hands and both function uniquely. Then, there are the single major ones.  There is the single brain.  There is one heart, one liver, one stomach – just to name the few.  Why? What is the beauty in the form on this creation?  Surely, there are good reasons.  The divine creation is probably created to reflect awareness.  Humans are not to take things for granted.  It is for Man to search for meaning.  It is definitely for me, and probably you too, to find the inner comfort to stay in constant harmony and balance, day in day out. In pairs, there comes duality.  There is day, there is night.  There is love, there is hate.  There is joy, there is sorrow.  To live, I have t...

  Random Thoughts #24-004 --------- Perception, once it is dominantly in the processing thinking mind, brings life to a halt.  Perception without understanding kills progress.  Perception without communication divides relationship.  It changes all things which may not end in good way. Perception is personal experience.  It navigates life with the way one thinks, where it may not hold life’s full truth.  It is, after all, a personal belief where the belief is of one's conviction (or, concoction?). Should so-and-so think I am bad, no matter what, I will be bad in his perception.  In his mind, his emotional feeling towards me continues in bad ways.  I am, and will be, of nothing good to him. Should so-and-so hate me, no matter what, nothing I do will be delightful in her senses.  In her mind, her emotional heart will remove any good light coming out from me.  My actions irk her, even the smallest. Love, with strong attachment to an internal...

Random Thoughts #24-003 ---------------     I do not know about you.  This is about me.  I am told no one is perfect.  Definitely, I am not. If you are, congrats! I am delightful and happy for you!  May the blessings be! Blaming others is a bad choice.  Hating others is to hate myself.  Criticizing others is to make my ego alive. Should I want to live a peaceful life, I must accept myself for who I am and learn to respect others for who they are. The best to live the good life is to forgive and to move on.  I am here not to fix someone else's life when mine is crumbling around my own feet. I need to learn to let love be love.  Why can't love be love? The moment the intellect mind thinks what love is, love changes.  Its true meaning changes with revised narrative filled with emotional fragility.  The purity to what love is gets lost.  The words describing it get just as bad.   Love, the noun, becomes an intellect ...

[Random Thoughts #24-002] As I am not far to my golden year, the most important thing getting there is me.  I am dying for a peaceful life.  I want the love of joy in every breath I take, at every moment.  I do not want time waster.  I do not want superficiality.  I want meaning. The less I have, the better it is.  I have to empty my luggage to lighten the baggage.  As Is, it is a small tight spot at my final resting place on Mother Earth.  There is no room for material luxury but my acts, beliefs and practices. It is no coincidence that I had an honest heart to heart conversation with my loving niece at my place recently.  We were talking about letting go.  Something we both agreed – to be happy, in life, is to let go what slows us down. Like her, there were few people who I would want to cancel.  It would do me good to cancel those who are no longer aligning spiritually (PS, it has nothing to do with religion here) with me.  ...

  [Random Thoughts #24-001] This is a new addition to the blog, with probably new post every other day.  It has a hashtag #randomthoughts.   #randomthoughts is just another way expressing my love for writing.  It is to liberate my thinking mind.  It is about my random thought with short writing.   It is a reminder for me to live the good life.  As these thoughts get expressed, they aid the cleaning thought process.  With constant cleaning, my old memories get erased.  As they are erased, a new life begins. Do come and join me to enjoy the beautiful journey ahead. Doing so, all is done!  May the blessings be. --------------------------------   Yes, it is possible to change.  Change is constant. Everything there is to life is possible.  Anything is possible when there is love.  Love conquers. Love bonds.  The trick to life is on 'awareness'.  When there is awareness, next, I need to embrace 'repentan...

Should every day is for me to learn the life lesson and to be a good human, I should - at my age today - have enough knowledge to live the good life?  Do I learn my lessons well or do I take them for granted?  Have I internalized what I have learned and let these lessons to be my guiding light?  What have been the good lessons that shaped my life today? Is not when humans have learned that they grow?  As they grow, do their lives thrive too?  Do their lives flourish and evolve?  Lessons, which are plentiful everywhere, should open the eyes to new pathways toward reaching life goals.  There are great benefits to live quality life with a list of life goals.  Setting up goals helps with better directions.  It triggers to draw healthy and focussed behaviours.  It helps to sustain momentum in life.  Goals lead to greater success and better performance in life.  They improve mental health too. Question here, have I set my life goals?...

It is not about the result.  Instead, it is how I get to the destination that counts.  It will be the cumulative effect on my awareness, determination, efforts, principles and the qualitative amount of love I put in that makes the vast difference landing at the grand journey.  A grand journey is the big walk where everything I do, I give, I participate becomes accountable.  It is a liable journey I have to endure with conscionable responsibility. I am fully accountable and completely responsible for all my actions and reactions, my feelings, my thoughts and my words.  Taking responsibility is a fundamental aspect of being a human, of personal growth and maturity.  It involves acknowledging and owning all my mistakes, all my errors.  No one else is to be blamed. The quality of life after the grand journey depends on how I have walked it.  It hinges on the overall experience from the way I control it.  It deals on my interactions with my mental...
