The Blessed Life

[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.  With these people, we had shared mentally and emotionally w

  [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 'repentance'.  This combo changes it all.  This combo is powerful.  It is the drop

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?  How often do I set them?  How often do I revisit and work

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 mind, my emotional mind, my spiritual mind

This entry is a dedication to one beautiful soul, in particular.   No, I am not going to talk about the individual - nor am I going to name few others, of the similar breed, whom I had met.  This entry is to highlight on their worldly existence.  From where I am, I should not dismiss their presence but to applaud their appearance. I like to share on the new breeds of humans.  No, I am not talking about the extra terrestrial lifeforms invading Mother Earth.  I am not talking about aliens.  I am not a science person.  I do not read much about UFOs nor do I have concrete ideas on them either. But, I want to dedicate this page about a special group of individuals.  They deserve to be talked about.  Their presence, as far as their impact on me, is important.  However, truth be told - I do not have enough knowledge to share about the breeds.  I do not have specific scientific details to describe them. I can never know on the full existence about life, why God creates such and such.  I can ne

And it starts with awareness.  It begins with the want, the big dream, to live a good life.  It kicks off with the desire to understand how the mind works.  It is meaningful with finding the meaning.  It comes forth with knowing the purpose.  It unfolds with universal spirituality. What is a good life?  Is life predestined?  Can I change the course of events?  Why do things have to be the way they are?  How do I determine what would be good for my being, for my soul?  At life’s end, where will I be? Life should not be about a race.  Or, the color of the person.  Or, the religion.  Or, the education.  Or, the accomplishments.  Life is larger than all these. The mind continuously wonders.  In good times, in bad times, the mind does not stop to think.  It is more active when the mind is at Beta and Alpha brainwaves.  It would be good should the mind remains at Theta wave.  The irony, with so much thinking, humans use about ten percent of the brain.  From there, eighty percent of it is fil

To know life is to love it.  Love conquers all.  Love heals.  When there is love, nothing is too much trouble.  Where there is love, there will be time.  With love, that is pure and unconditional, everything is possible.  Love multiplies compounded energies to become something beautiful. Here’s the reality check, the hard truth!  It is when and where there is an absence of love that all kinds of excuses are created.  With not enough love within, without not much love to give or to share, lame reasons come into existence.  When and where there is no love, there is no motivation or lack thereof.  There will be thousands and one excuses.  Ironically, these excuses become good defence mechanisms. Whether life is good and whether it is full of challenges, to love life gives it a better meaning.  Appreciation and gratitude reward itself.  They are not only the greatest of virtues but they are the parent of all others.  They are moral memory that create the webs of blessings and abundance. As

Life is a fixed variable but making choices is not.  Thing is, am I capable of making the right choice?  Am I wise enough?  How, when and why do I make the decision?  What would be the guiding consideration? It is said when a soul chooses peace, there will be sacrifices to undertake.  There shall be a trade in, of sort.  There will be something to lose or something to give up.  It is a choice where the soul does it for the sake of a better cause to move forward, to live a good earthly life and holding on with only love. When an individual chooses peace, there will be solitude.  There will be a state of being alone.  He will be far off from society.  Thing is, with peace and in the state of aloneness, his soul gets to engage in meaningful self reflection.   Self reflection enables one to move from just experiencing into understanding and empathy.  Historically, there are many great solitary stories told.  Life transformed greatly when a soul spent time alone.  Life celebrated divine int
