The Blessed Life

Everything in the Universe is constantly changing.  Nothing is permanent and nothing stays the same.  I have to look forward to the future.  I have to look forward to the unknown.  Wisely, I have to stay in the moment amidst all these changes. Life, somehow, is best understood when I look backward but it must be lived forward.  The past is always there.  It lives inside of me and it has helped to make me who I am today.  But it has to be placed in perspective.  The past should not dominate the future. When I avoid the present moment, or I keep going back to the memories of the past, I create anxiety about the future.  Uncertainty can be frightening.  It is scary.  Which way a thing changes depends on me.  Everything that happens to me is my own doing. I have to create my future and it starts today.  I have to manifest all the good things.  I have to clean today and visualize that everything is well.  I have to trust for a good future because I am going to spend the rest of my life ther

From my heart to another, I wish you well.  From my soul to another, 'I love you'.  From the thinking mind of mine to another, 'I am sorry'.  From the human me to another, 'Please forgive me'. Here, on Mother Earth, we share our destiny.  We walk towards finding our meaning, our purpose.  We intertwine our experiences with hope that we are to learn from each other.  All the little things are not tiny matters that we share along our ways.  There is no escape.  We cannot be the only man on the island. As humans, it is unavoidable that we may not see eye to eye.  We may have to agree to disagree.  We disagree and agree.  It is, in those occasions, that lessons are learned.  We give and we take.  We take and we give.  Life is not about you nor it is about me.  Everything co-exists for greater purpose towards the 'I'. As a divine human, there is love for each other.  As a soul, I have to embrace this emotion.  I have to make it better.  I have to respect.  I

I feel so blessed to receive these beautiful messages.  I feel the presence of an Angel who is helping me to clean and erase my errors as a human being.  The messages touch me and they are of great life lessons.  I want to embrace them.  I want to internalize them. For the love of life, I am sharing the messages here.  As I re-write them, I pray that every sentence will connect at my cellular and conscious levels.  That these sentences continue to clean and erase all my errors, all my wrong doings and all my imperfections, from the beginning of time till now, and they bring me to the Shangri-La of God. Thank you, dear Peace of 'I'. [Quote] 01) After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, I started to love myself. 02) I just realized that I am not an "Atlas".  The world is not on my shoulders. 03) I stopped negotiating with the fruit and vegetable vendors.  A few cents won't change my situation but might help the poor guy who is saving

While I hear the sound of the words being spoken, I have to pay attention to the words by listening to them.  Hearing is not necessarily listening nor is it necessarily listening well.  There is a lot of difference between hearing and listening. Listening is about finding out what someone thinks about something.  When I truly listen, I have to put my attention, interest and heart into it and understand what is being said.  It requires me to be patient, receptive, open minded and not to be judgemental. The greatest problem with communication is I do not listen to understand.  Instead, I listen to reply.  I have to avoid doing that.  I have to listen with curiosity.  I should not put words in other people's mouths, fill in gaps or presume to understand the person fully. I have to listen for what is behind the words.  And when it is time that I need to say something, I have to speak with honesty.  I have to act with empathy and integrity.  It is important that I show grace and compass
