The Blessed Life

It shall be good that I make efforts to know the meanings of the heart messages.  Have I heard the sigh of my heart?  Does my heart have a voice?  Does my heart have its own language to communicate with me? The heart is always wanting to communicate with the mind and the soul.  It is more than just an organ, just like the brain.  The heart is a centre of unconditional love.  It is a depository of thoughts, ideas and meanings.  The mind and the heart are not each other's enemy.  They make up and complete the wellness of my BEing. I have to pay attention to the voice of my heart.  I need to quiet my mind to hear it.  My heart teaches me what love is and, at its peak, to make me be 'Love'.  My heart is often the mediator of what is good.  It is intuitive and filled with feelings and emotions. I will do myself a great favour when I say these phrases to my heart.  Each day, I have to tell my heart that 'I love you, I am sorry, Please forgive me and Thank you'.  My heart

It is always easy to shift the blame to others than to accept the responsibility.  It is, somehow, a natural defence mechanism to preserve one's self esteem.  When the blame gets directed elsewhere, it lessens own's guilt, liability and shame. What is the usual reaction when things go wrong?  To validate excuses and blame on 'Fate' or 'Luck' or 'Karma' is gross ignorance.  The more I am doing that, the more that I am running away from all of my earthly responsibilities.  I  must not forget that I am solely responsible for all my words, thoughts, deeds and actions. When I am not happy, satisfied or fulfilled, it has to do with me.  It has to do with the way I think.  It has to do with my negative attitude and mindset.  Perhaps, I am too eager to charm others or I am full of anxieties or that I am controlling and, plainly, negative. Until I stop blaming others for my awful and miserable feelings and do not take responsibility for them, that lousy feelings

When I am angry with someone, there'll be someone else that will be angry with me.  When I betray someone, there'll be someone else that will betray me.  When I dislike or hate someone, there'll be someone else that will dislike or hate me.  When I hurt someone, there'll be someone else that will hurt me. (Unless I think I am perfect) Should I want love, I have to give love.  Should I want kindness, I have to be kind first.  Should I want to be respected, it has to be earned. This is the reality in life.  What I give out is what I get back. All my actions affect my reactions.  All my actions affect others, even to myself.  Most importantly, all my actions affect my relationship with God.   When I treat people with respect and honesty, people will give that back to me.  When I treat them poorly, I get treated that way too. While I am here, in the midst of all things, I have to learn about my intention.  Every intention makes the difference.  The only way I can succeed in

The world instills in me many things and she will continue to do so forever.  She teaches me about humanity.  She coaches me to be human.  She shows me the ropes to stand on my two feet.  She nurtures my mind.  She guides my soul.  Basically, she shelters my well being and takes good care of my needs and wants. I have to be grateful for what she has given me.  For all the valuable life lessons to make my life meaningful.  For developing the purpose so that I can acknowledge, at the end of my journey, my Self Identity. Life is a continuous learning process and discovering new things.  The world is the perfect school, and a good teacher, to shape me as a person.  I have to have an open mind and heart and be willing to learn.  I should reciprocate the world's deeds by disciplining myself to be her good student.  I should have a heart to be appreciative and responsive. There will come a day that I have to give back in return.  That's the duality in her nature.  It is the Law of Rec

Joyful, peaceful or respectful relationship is when I can put my feet to feel the emotions of others.  Where I can be thoughtful of the rights and feelings of others.  Where I do not get into their personal space without getting their permission. I should not take matters, in life, for granted.  It is always good that I put myself in someone else's shoes before I jump the gun.  It is good that I take the time to think about how others are feeling.  I have to have tact.  I have to be kind.  I have to be gracious. Being considerate is an integral part of what it means to be human.  It is one thing to feel but putting that feeling into action is another big thing.  What I feel may not be what others feel.  I need to think about how others would react.  I should put myself in their frame of mind.  Everyone that I meet is, somewhat, fighting a battle that I know nothing about. I have to exercise considerate perspective.  When I am angry, it is better that I stay quiet.  When I do not kn

What a wonderful world it will be should I be able, for the love, to inspire and motivate everyone I meet.  That, along the journey of my life I can make aware of God's light.  That, I can illuminate love and kindness.  That, with all things done for the love, the Peace of 'I' will be with me. For the love, I have to start with myself.  I have to let my soul descends to my mind and give it greater knowledge and understanding.  My soul has been waiting to merge with my mind.  My mind has to be ready to accept it.  My mind has to open and not stuck with senseless intellect.   I have to have a mind filled with only love.  When I let down the barrier and open myself to the need for love, divinity fills my well being.  With love, I can live well and be loved. For the love, I must not be selfish.  I have to give love for love to come back to me.  But, love is not a trade off.  I cannot give and expect for some returns or be rewarded.  It is only empowering when I can think 'I

How can I be happy and want to live a life of love but I do not know what love entails.  Love is a four letter word.  Yet there is so much about it that varies from one person to another.  Every human has different perception of what real love is.  And, it can be dramatically different too. Though love encompasses all the intense feeling of extreme happiness, elation and deep affection for someone or something, there is no one best definition of love.  The meaning might not encompass all the emotions that are flowing from one individual to another. To grant love into my life, I need to enlighten myself with its magical wondrous energy.  I need to be able to describe, explain and interpret it.  Only when I appreciate it that the right energy of love comes naturally. I have to define love in accordance to my needs, my wants.  It has to be dear to my heart, meaningful to my mind and very valuable to my soul.  It is a qualitative emotion where I am willing to make sacrifices.  And, how it

The essence of my own soul is Love.  When I say "I love you", I am starting the process to merge back into the essence of life itself.  I am starting to merge back with the Divine and my devotion to the Creator that creates me. "I love you" is my connection to all relationships.  Importantly, it is my relationship with the Divinity.  It is my relationship with people, with events, with resources and all sources, and with all the breaths that keep me to be thankful to life itself. It is my basic association with life.  With growth.  With survival.  With existence.  With my soul. "I love you" makes my consciousness alive. Saying it can be the most appreciated words.  Saying it means that I have come to appreciate the positive and negative, good and bad, happy and sad, and ups and downs in life. "I love you" creates the impossible possible.  It aligns people with me.  It aligns me with people.  It puts all sources of Life in one straight alignment.

Dear my dearest Self, When your world is crumpling down, can it be it's your own actions are causing it?  Can you accept there is nobody else to blame but you?  When you start to have issue with your health, when your heart is broken, when you cry the whole night out of confusion .. can you accept these mishaps are the karma you inflicted upon yourself? How often do you watch your own thoughts?  How aware are you to observe your mouth inventing negativity?  How much do you blame others and not taking full responsibility to own your words, thoughts, deeds and actions? For that matter, are you capable of saying 'I am sorry and please forgive me'?  When saying these phrases, are they said from your soul or just lip service?  Are you capable to recognize and owned your errors, mistakes and wrong doings? My dearest Self, as long as you live, there will always be something that will not be right.  It is a hard truth.  Your intellect is ego driven.  The ego will not let you go eve

When I say 'I know', do I really know?  What am I trying to imply?  Can I accept there are gaps in my knowledge?  When I say 'I know so-and-so', do I really know that person in and out?  When I say 'Oh yes, I know what you are saying', do I know how he or she truly feels inside him or her and the real context? All my life, I am half baked.  What I think I know, I actually do not know.  I am only conveying, expressing, sharing and stating a little of the big thing.  Most time, this deliverance of a 'little of the big thing' is of a personal view based on a personal experience, even when it is of an objective topic. Knowledge is too huge for a human to understand it all.  It is as vast as the universe.  A mind can only comprehend so much in one lifetime.  A mind has limits in the ability to digest information.   The five senses and how the mind processes information are designed for survival rather than seeing reality.  What is out there may not be what th

Anger is a secondary emotion.  Typically, there is always something underneath that is triggering it.  The underlying primary emotion could be fear, jealousy, insecurity or sorrow.  Or, it can be disappointment, embarrassment, frustration or humiliation. Should I do not want to be an angry person, I must not be a control freak to control the world around me.  I have to let that negative feelings go.  I have to learn, in life, that I have my limitations.  I have to learn not to blame others for everything that goes wrong. When I do not take charge and refuse to take full responsibility on my actions and emotions, I will end up an angry person.  I need to recognize my anger and what is lying behind it.  To brew an angry feeling, and let it creep, will not make me to be a happy healthy person.  Nor will it give me the peace of mind. Anger is like a fire that destroys everything.  I should not let it push me and have its energy burns my soul.  When anger starts to spread inside me, I will

It is a beautiful gift to my soul when I can commit to spend time sitting in meditation and in prayer.  The time spent to surrender to nothingness brings mental benefits, increased happiness and emotional stability.  It elevates peace of mind and shall decrease anxiety.  The healing effect is enormous. When I chant a mantra or a prayer meditatively, I regain my footing with my soul.  It is the song for my soul and a very personal relationship with the Divine.  I am reconnecting the soul with my life at a higher level. With the chant, the prayer and the meditation, I am recognizing that I am a spiritual being having a human experience.   At this state, I will be able to appreciate all that I have.  My soul shall rejoice. It is the energy in meditation and in chanting prayers that brings a sense of oneness.  The soul understands this exact feeling of tranquillity and how important it wants it.  It is as if, while doing that, the present moment expands to fill all of eternity, with the un

It is never a good feeling to live in fear, with fear.  The fear of getting hurt, of losing something or someone, of getting harm, of change or of failure.  The feeling of fear comes from a mindset that a lifestyle is being threatened.  This threat can be physical or emotional. Fear is one powerful emotion.  It has strong effects on the mind.  It can take over a life, affecting the joy to live. Fear paralyzes lives. Fear happens because there are many unknowns in life.  There are many questions a mind can ask but only God has the answers.  It is this uncertainty that fear creeps in.  The physical feelings of fear can be scary in themselves. Fear prepares me to be strong.  It draws me to have the courage and to keep my head up.  To have faith, as I am told, helps to lessen the anxiety and stress.  So is letting go of the fear and move on. But, before I can stand on my two feet and gain momentum to find the strength, how can I eliminate fear completely?  How do I prevent myself from gett

This is a beautiful simple quote with such an amazing deep message.  It will be good that I think of it carefully and take heart.  It is good that I understand it and get to be real with reality.  Buddha says 'The trouble is, you think you have time'.   Indeed, there are many times that I have taken my life for granted.  That I dismiss not to carry out doing things as the mind thinks there will always be tomorrow.  That I ignore to follow my heart and missed the boat.  That I disregard my intuition and lost an opportunity.  That, I think I have forever.  Reality is, I don't. The more I procrastinate, the more that things do not get to complete.  Likely they will be left on the shelves and, a high chance, they get overlooked.  I have to know that opportunities are not things to be waited for, they are something to be pursued and worked on.   My mind, conveniently, forgets that I cannot turn back the hands of time.  I have to live as though today is my last day.  When I remin

Life is what I make it.  When I choose to see only the bad things, I will continue to see the bad things.  When I choose to think that life is hard, it will be hard indeed.  I have to be aware of my thinking mind.  I should not have a mindset that works against me.  I have to take charge to be positive and think positive. All self created problems in life are the result of my expectations not met.  I have to reduce them should I do not want to feel the lousy miserable feelings again and again.  Instead of looking at problems as problems, I have to shift my paradigm.  I have to look at them as lessons that I need to learn to turn me into a better individual. In order for this paradigm shift to be effective, I have to accept the problems.  Running away or to sweep them under the carpet is not the good way.  It will be helpful should I ask these questions.  Why are they happening to me?  What are attracting them to keep popping up?  Am I the source of the problem? Life is too precious an

When there are people who are disappointed, who are angry and upset with me, this is where that I have to realize about my imperfections.  This is the right time for me to take full responsibility to own and realize it.  This is the time that I have to take charge to look within.  This is when life's real lessons kick into high gear. Such animosity has nothing to do with them but it is about the big lack off that is missing in my personality.  Obviously, my attitude and character are questionable.   I should be thankful that these people, for all the differences, are crossing into my path so that I can wake up.  Everything has reasons. All beings that are in front of me are godsend.  They appear so that I can learn about myself.  They come to let me to realize about my limitations.  They are the earthly divine angels to make me to be a better person.  Thank you, thank you, thank you. The common element with everything that happens in my life is Me.  Everything comes down to Me.  I

The day that I lost the child within me was the day I became a human.  It was the day that I was exposed to the man-made world of sociology.  I had no choice but to adapt to all my surroundings, mostly unknowingly, to survive. At that tender age, I was made to uncover on every aspects of human social relationship.  At that innocent age, what could possibly happen to any child was the start of many subtle traumas that changed all purity and goodness. Today, after many years, I want to heal that child that I had abandoned.  I want to heal my relationship with him.   I want to heal all pains, all wounds and any deeply distressing or disturbing events that have inflicted me to be helpless.  That have made me to diminish my sense of Self and the ability to live life with full of courage. It is important that I re-engage with him.  Re-connecting with him will help me.  It will lead me to a complete, more confident and self actualized human being. It will make me to recognize my purpose.  Hig

At the end of the day, all that I want is to embrace inner peace.  It is something so dear to me, as important as the air that I breathe.  It is my deep human need.   Inner peace shall make me a better human that will make me to love and respect humanity.  It will make me to accept, unconditionally, all aspects of life, without judgment. Inner peace will not just happen.  I have to work for it, give effort and intention for it to be with me.  I have to cultivate higher and more spiritual meaning in my life.  I have to examine my lifestyle and re-evaluate what is important. Inner peace is a journey of discoveries.  It is a blissful state that showers with contentment, happiness and personal empowerment.  It helps to navigate through uncertainty, suffering and sadness.  It allows me to confront life with an open heart. Inner peace is a state that scales me to see my purpose much clearer.  When there is inner peace, I will get to know where I want to be.  I will get to commit to my worthy

How beautiful life can be when my heart can speak.  That, it shall not use the mind.  That, words are not spoken out from the mouth but only the heart.  That, the very form of communication is from my heart to others' hearts.   Indeed, it can be blissful to hear the actual voice of the heart.  How much do I know the pain my heart endures?  Is my mind in conflict with my heart?  Do I respect at what my heart feels? To speak from an open heart can be vulnerable yet be the strongest.  The heart is where love resides.  The heart is where simplicity and sincerity are.  It is a sacred place with great moral force.  It does not know how to lie.  It speaks without contentiousness or blame. When a heart is pure, and it should be that way all throughout, love shall be the humans' main language.  Everything will be communicated in a heartfelt way with compassion and dignity.  The tone of the heart conveys deep emotional sincerity.  When speaking from the heart, it is often words of open h

I cannot be saying there is a divine spark, in all humans, and yet not to respect it.  Should humans hold the spark of the Divine in their hearts, it is good that I honour humanity.  When together, humans can make life better and meaningful for each other.  When we stand as one with these sparks, we shall create and nurture love and not war. There is divine light in each one of us.  As the author Antoine de Saint-Exupery says in his book 'The Little Prince', "All men have stars".  I have to be mindful of this phrase and let it ingrained inside me.  I have to be conscious of my attitude, my thinking mind and my feelings and opinions towards others. I should not let my mouth invent negative labels on another BEing.  When I call someone 'A Fool' or 'Toxic' or something else, am I claiming that I am superior than that person?  Am I really any better?  By saying these negative words, am I implying that Divinity is a fool or toxic too - since all humans hold

There are reasons for everything.  Why the sun rises and what are my choices when it sets.  Why the flowers bloom and why the wind is blowing at certain directions.  Why I am here while you are there.  Why there is a feeling of love and why is there a feeling of indifference. The responsibility to reason things out lies on me.  So is the responsibility for my success.  I am the creator for creating meaning out of life.  I have to live not by the 'reason' but to understand the wisdom from the experience.  I should not worship on intellect as it does not make me smarter. How important is it that I have to have all the reasons answered?  What do I want to achieve?  Will I question more after knowing the answers?  Must there be one definite and specific answer to every reasons?  Is there an absolute truth? To live a good life is about finding values and not finding every conclusive reasons.  Life is what happens to me.  I am the captain of my heart.  I hold the compass to my walks

To live by my soul is when I surrender my thinking mind.  It is the surrender of reason and reasoning.  The mind is where the ego is.  It is where complication becomes more complicated and simplicity gets ignored.  With no simplicity, there shall be no peace. It is good to find a balance.  The mind must not rule all the time.  The mind does not have human emotions.  It does not know the functions of compassion, courage, empathy, friendship and relationship.  It exists on a selfish task to help me to survive, thinking it would make my existence easier. When I quiet my mind, I open my heart.  I open for love.  It is important to slow down my busy mind to get in touch with my heart.  My mind is constantly busy chatting, always thinking.  The mind is like an electric fan with thoughts blowing everywhere.  When not in control, it scatters aimlessly without clear intentions, purpose or direction. When I quiet my mind, my soul speaks.  While my mind can never be quiet, the objective is not to

When a mind is constantly chattering, it is not peaceful.  It is fretting on small stuffs.  It is assuming.  It jumps to conclusion easily and without facts.  Living in the busy mind can lead to exhaustion, fatigue, chronic stress and likely depression. Instead, it shall do me much good should I quiet my mind.  A quiet mind is a healthy simple mind.  It is good for the body.  When I quiet my mind, the soul will speak.  Answers that I seek become clear. I have to find ways to clear my mind from thinking too much.  It is important that I do that.  Thinking, as is, is already a great burden.  Clearing the mind is a good way to bring peace into my life even if I am not feeling particularly anxious. While self talk is good, I have to be aware that I am doing just that.  However, should my self talk is constantly filled with negativity and unwarranted beliefs, I am not doing a favour to my soul.  Engaging in negative self talk is usually full of opinions and judgements rather than facts.  It

Life is constantly changing.  Nothing stays the same.  Nothing stays forever.  Nothing lasts and nothing remains.  Yes, everything there is in life changes, moments by moments.  Everything transforms and evolves. Yesterday when I was young, I could run the sprint.  I had the energy of a bull.  And as life moves on and so is time and the space, today I am moving slightly slower.  Today, I make numerous stops to enjoy the breeze, smell the roses and taking to notice the nature more. There is a new normal to everything today, all around the world.  What shall be my psyche to understand to move forward with all these?  Will I be able to embrace it and to let go in order to grow? It is important that I stay flexible and adjust to changes.  I should not be too rigid with my lifestyles.  It is ok not to go strictly by the books as things may not happen the way I think they should happen.  And so are with people who mean a lot to me that eventually cease to exist.  I have to stop becoming atta

It is important that I forgive myself.  I have to forgive myself for making all the mistakes, for adding up to all the flaws and for effecting all the misunderstandings.  I have to forgive myself for all my bad decisions.  I have to forgive myself for all the misgivings. I have to forgive myself so that I can learn from my errors.  Forgiveness gives me the insight to move out of the past and into the present. It is this act of becoming fully aware of my imperfections that I write these prayers.  I am not perfect with my thoughts, my words, my deeds and my actions.  It is my humble request to wake up.  It is a deep hopeful wish to own those errors so that I can improve on the quality of life. These prayers are my conversation with God.  These prayers are my dire attempts to connect with the Divine.  These prayers make me to embrace peace and that, with God's grace, I will find the light. I write these prayers to clean all my past beliefs, errors, miscalculations, mistakes and wrong

The tragedy of a man's life is what dies inside of him while he lives.  But, the man who would know the world seek first within his being's depths.  And the man who would truly know himself develop interest in the world. I am not my thoughts and I have to let the thoughts to come and go like clouds just floating on by.  I am not my emotions.  I am not my feelings.  I am not my body.  I am, in fact, just the light of Divinity. In that light of Divinity in this House of Humanity, I have nothing to do but learn to be a witness to Life.  I have to participate to make the light brighter.  I have to engage in making the House of Humanity a beautiful transitory world.  I have to love the love of the Divine. It is, however, unfortunate that in the House of Humanity, I often forget about this Light.  Instead, with all the accumulation, creation and acceptance of life experiences, I use them against my own source.   The tragedy of a man is when he insists on looking at the past or the fu

Awareness is not good enough when I am not going to live by its true insight.  It is useless to tell myself that I am aware of what is good and what is not and yet fail to act on its real meaning.  It is more an ego thing to say that I know what is right and what is wrong and, yet, continue to live in oblivion. I live in a society where humans live and strive with what they think about each other.  There can be realization, understanding and wisdom but the weakness in humans, in me, still strongly prevail.  Like most, what I see is basically what I believe.  Unfortunately, that is not necessarily true. As much as I am telling myself to live with 'Life Is Beautiful' and 'Don't Judge' modes, it is not easy to consistently stay inside that perimeters.  I am living in a society that feeds on criticism and I am part of it.  Whatever I think of my society, their likeness and personas lie within me too. I cannot change my world when I am not changing myself.  I cannot embr

As a human, I possess the Four Control Dramas.  As I live, they have become part of me. I am the Intimidator, I am the Interrogator, I am the Aloof and I am the Poor Me.  I recognize these behaviours in me. (Dear James Redfield, Thank You for letting me to reflect.  Thank You for 'The Celestine Prophecy'.) Whether I act them consciously or unconsciously, they tell a lot about myself.  Whether I react them knowingly or unknowingly, they highlight my imperfections.  Whether I behave them intentionally or unintentionally, they prove that I am flawed.  Aren't these enough to be the case that I am full of wrong-doings? Would I accept and admit their existence within me?  How much do I want to acknowledge that these control dramas are part of me, in each day I am here on Mother Earth?  Should I be proud?  Should I be ashamed? Now, should I completely recognize these behaviours (and I must), what do I want to learn here?  Accepting them, can I admit that I am, literally, the probl

With every face I meet, there is always a story to tell.  Everyone, including myself, has at least a story.  Everyone, in their unspoken ways, is fighting a battle that I know nothing about.  Sometimes, the strongest individuals in the morning are those that cry all night. I live in a world where true emotions are always buried deep within.  For sure, I can never know what it takes for someone to get out of bed, look and feel as presentable as possible and face the day.  I have to understand that everybody has their own hardships and struggles, regardless of whether I can see it or not. Reality is, there is no way I can accurately tell what every individual's life is truly like.  In life, I may walk with a friend but I cannot take his or her path.  That path of life, in everyone, is his or hers alone. I can never know until I make an effort to ask.  And, that does not mean that I will eventually know.  When I am not asking, I must not judge.  I must not look down on anyone nor I cr

When life is teaching me lessons, about acquiring experience every day, I should have a mindset that today has to be better than yesterday.  This philosophy has to make me to be proactive.  This gift has to make me to appreciate all the breaths I take.  That I am alive for another day to make things right. Life is a journey of becoming better human.  It is to prepare my homeward bound for the after life.  Life is not about being better than someone else but it is about being better at myself.  Today is my chance to work harder and be better than I was yesterday. Since life moves forward and does not allow me to go back and fix what I have done wrong in the past, the only choice I have is to look at today.  I have to earn it with a sincere longing to make it right.  I have to be committed, to have better thoughts, better decisions and better actions. As I look back at yesterday, I shall clean, delete and erase all the unwanted data, all those beliefs, conditionings and programmings that

Words are energy.  They live, they grow and they become actions.  Words underscore all actions.  They can either confirm or betray.  It is important that I use words to say the actual thing.  I must not say one word and use it to mean something else altogether.   I shall not talk for talk sake.  That will help me not to let words fly out unnecessarily.  Sometimes, the things that would serve situations best are contemplation and quietness.  When I have nothing better to say, it is wise that I take the silence pills.  There is no necessity for me to be heard nor I have the last words.  Listening will be better, instead.   The words that I use to communicate are reflection of my thoughts.  So is the tone I use to say out the words.  Words act out what is in my mind.  Words have meaning and are powerful.   With words, I build a story, create an action and make someone to feel comfortable and welcome.  Conversely, words can also ruin the story, disarray the actions or hurt someone. Benjami

It is important, at my next phase, that I live my life with heightened happiness, joy, peace and love.  I have had a wonderful youthful life and enjoyed it much.  They filled, guided and showed me on the next path to move forward. With all that I have learned, I want to live by them now.  I want to immerse and connect myself with its knowledge.  From this day forward, I want to flow with the flow of life.  I want a much more peaceful life.  I want a life that elevates me spiritually and be simple with it. Living a simple life is to have space and time for myself.  It is about doing with less.  Having more and doing more do not lead to happiness.  It does not guarantee to be peaceful either.  A simple life is to find the simplest things and being content with solitude and savouring the serenity of the moment. I should not be chasing after the rainbows forever.  Instead, I have to believe that I am inside the rainbow now.  I have to feel that I am living my dreams and no longer dreaming.

As the song goes, 'There can be miracles when you believe'.  Indeed it is and I believe in that.  Believe is like a magnet.  It attracts what is honestly desired, genuinely wished for.  As Louise Hay says 'No matter what we choose to believe or think, the Universe always says "Yes" to us'. When these beliefs do not turn into miracles, it has to do with me - the way I think.  It has nothing to do with the process.  It is the fault of the mind not able to focus, not knowing what it truly wants.  Believe profoundly influences the next best thing.  That, it opens the Universe inside of me because there is deep faith and hope.   I have to believe in something in order for that something to exist.  The so-called miracles happen because I live for that purpose.  A purpose that I believe in.  Miracles are what I create, when I let go and let God.  There are miracles when all the actions taken put me in at the right place at the right time. Miracles happen through natu

The spiritual body.  The mental body.  The emotional body.  The physical body.  These four bodies make up the person that I am.  Each of these bodies serves me through my conscious and sub-conscious minds. They can either complement or in conflict with each other.  When they are complementing, life is good.  But, when they are in conflict, it is where dis-eases appear.  It is a condition where there is no 'ease' but ill health.  It is a situation where emotions get tangled in the webs of stress. At the other end, there is my soul where it connects to the higher mind, super conscious mind.  The super conscious mind encompasses a level of awareness that sees beyond material reality.  It is the mind of light, the all knowing intelligence.  Here, it is where every aspects of consciousness are experienced. As a human, I have to be one with all of them - all the four bodies and the three minds.  It is the only connection that raises the human vibrations.  Ideally, when they come toge

I have to ensure that my conscious and sub-conscious minds work in tandem, in perfect partnership.  I should not have the conscious saying one thing and the sub-conscious wants another.  When these two are in conflict, nothing favourable is achieved. When my conscious mind, for example, wants me to go out of the house to take in fresh air, it is good that the sub-conscious mind co-operates.  More than often, the sub-conscious dictates the reaction.  Based on the example, when my sub-conscious feels lazy and wants to stay indoor, I will not go out. I have to be kind with my mind, on the way I think on a daily basis.  Awareness is beneficial.  It is good to focus only on my dominant thoughts and let go what's not.  Thinking is a heavy burden to entertain all the 6,000 (and more) thoughts every day, which will compound to the next day.   My mind is a creature of habit.  Unfortunately, the mind focuses more of the negatives rather than the positives.  When I do not take charge and dism

I am not perfect.  Yes, I have many flaws.  Day by day, I make every mistake under the sun.  For this reason, do I deserve love?  Am I worthy of it?  Or, do I have to be humiliated, be made to feel ashamed?  Who shall be the judge of humanity? Unconditional love, simply put, is love without strings attached.  It is love that I have to offer freely.  I should not base it on what others do for me in return.  I simply have to love and want nothing more than their happiness.   It is like the love my parents have for me or the love all other parents have for their own child. Comparably, when it comes to friendship, how far can unconditional love go?  How do I know that I can engage unconditional love unreservedly?  For that matter, how much do I take the time to know about my state-of-being-friends with all my friends?   Friendship is as important as any familial relationship. Friendship is a combination of affection, loyalty, love, respect and trust.  It is based on mutual appreciation.  F

It is the duality of life.  Duality teaches me that every aspect of life is created from a balanced interaction of opposite and competing forces.  Yet, these forces are not just opposites.  They are, indeed, complementing each other.   I cannot win and win again and again endlessly.  I will not fail and fail again and again forever too.  All is fair in life.  There is a great and greater purpose to it.  The hashtag to all winnings, and otherwise, lies with the role my heart exhibits. To grasp acceptance in life is important.  Whenever I fail, I should be thankful.  What I should avoid, when I fail, is the feeling of defeat.  I should not give up.  I must not swear and curse.  Failure is about picking myself up.  It is to learn new lessons, to acquire and to realize that I have not given my utmost best. Whenever I win, I should be grateful.  At the same time, I should be humble about it.  There are more lessons to learn here.  Will my win make me arrogant?  Will I forget about humility?

Doing the right thing for myself paves for an enjoyable beautiful ways to live my life.  I have to list the right thing.  It has to be by me, for me and to me.  It has to make me feel good.  It has to inspire me to become better individual. What is the right thing?  I must not think selfishly.  It has to be socially right and acceptable too.  I have to do good and be good.  Doing good and being good make a journey in life wonderful. I have to cultivate self care, taking care of all facets of my life.  It includes money, relationship with my loved ones and, most importantly, my relationship with myself.  Self care is about giving my mind and my soul a sense of peace.  That brings abundance of happiness, joy and good health. Doing the right thing is important.  Choosing to do the right thing is about who I want to be.  Underneath my name, my career and my home, who am I really?  What do I stand for?  What matters to me?  Who do I want to surround myself with?  What can I contribute to ot

Words used to express intentions mean nothing when they are not from the heart.  Words alone do not mean much.  It takes more than just words after words after words.  It is how they are said that means everything. Words are to be articulated and connected from love in the heart.  The tone of my voice, to carry out those words, plays an important role too.  It matters as it creates harmony.  My tone clarifies and conveys meaning.  My tone affects how others perceive me.  Also, it measures on their willingness to listen. I have to constantly remind myself to hear and listen on the way I speak.  I should not cheapen my words to cheapen my talk.  There is no necessity for me to be heard when I have nothing good to say.  It is not important that I must fill in any awkward silences.  It is not necessary, nor it is funny, to make others laugh all the time. The words 'Listen' and 'Silent' are both spelt with the same letters.  The more that I talk less, the more I learn.  Sile

Today, as I am saying goodbye to another year, I should spend a little time to do a reflection.  Doing so, I am giving respect for the past.  Only when I know where I've come from that I will know where I am going next.   Hopefully, my reflection can help me to see how everything is connected.  It is to be hoped that it gives me a sense of accountability and purpose.  Trustingly, I will get to understand myself much better. My mind needs to know the importance why I have to reflect.  While it might get me nowhere, it shall be of great significance to give some thoughts on the next stage of my life.  It might not be about finding happiness, it can be about enjoying all that I have. Similarly, it is about gratitude, that I can cherish all the things that took place.  When I can acknowledge every happenings with love, surely there will be time for gladdening my heart for all the experiences. For this reflection, I will ask myself these questions.  It is to add and find the sum total o

Whenever there is a nudge to do something good, I should just do it.  I should follow the intuition.  It is the Higher Self prompting me.  It is my Inner Child prodding gently.  It is the angel saying, 'Hey, I am here'.  This is how the Universe works; that unspoken messages are being trusted subtly to influence behaviours and decision makings. When I follow these nudges, there are high chances that good habits are developed.  That, I shall rid any inertia and procrastination.  That, I nurture spontaneous acts to become proactive in life.   Being spontaneous is a good trait to have in life.  It opens any uninhibited manners and builds courage and growth. Nudge is the language of the Universe within me.  It aids me to get closer to hearing my inner voice.  It is designed to initiate and to shape events.  It is a divine energy within that is bursting with information to make things right.  It is the divine flame supporting the mind-body towards achieving for something good.

Every time I see good loving relationships, and those that have been together for decades, I thank God that I can witness them.  They remind me of my parents, and everyone else that I know, about being together.  How those decades of them together, in loving relationship, survive so well till death separates them. It is always a lovely feeling to see long lasting relationships.  I admire their commitments to make things work.  I adore their patience.  I stand in awe at their coping mechanisms.  I respect their willingness to take the time to understand conviction.  I crave for meaning and their harmony. Relationship takes hard work.  It takes two willing individuals striving for the ultimate.  Even if the couples are soulmates, made in heaven, relationship is about two people with different background coming together.   Certainly not an easy task as there will always be differences.  Yet, when a relationship that lasts for decades, till death do them part, speaks volume. It shows the i

My words and my actions need to sync.  They have to have consciousness.  Words and actions are powerful to shape integrity, identity and intention.  When I can keep and honour my words, I shall become the person that my soul can be proud.   My soul needs to feel worthy to guard and protect me. When I say something, others expect me to do it.  So is my Inner Child.  So is my guardian angel.  It is only right that I honour my words.  It is a measurement of my own worth.  It is my commitment that I have to hold and keep.  When I don't, I destroy my own values.   Else, I lose my connection with all these individuals.  Worse, I will develop a reputation for not following through on commitments and be not trustworthy.  When that happens, I am letting everyone down.  Importantly, I distance myself with my soul and the divinity within me. When I say 'Oh, I will call you later', will I do it or conveniently forget about it?  When I say 'I will be there when you need me', do
