The Blessed Life

Nothing is permanent.  And so is my life.  Mother Earth is a transient place for my earthly journey.  Here, I am attending a school that is preparing me for my spiritual evolution.  I have to constantly give my very best while I am at it. I want to be the kind of soul who shall improve on the quality of life.  When I look at the end of life and be one with my Creator, I hope to enter Heaven's gate. When I am alive, I intend to live.  I should have dreams and dream them big.  I have to live life to the fullest and enjoy each day.  I must learn how to live.  I must learn to take risks.  At the end of each day, I am answerable for every moment of my life. I pray for change so that I can be flexible with the ways I think.  I pray for guidance so that I trust myself.  I pray for happiness so that I am not my ego.  I pray for peace so that I accept others unconditionally. I pray for abundance and I realize that it is my doubt that keeps it away.  I pray for wealth and realize it is my he

All humans have the mind, body and soul.  But, each human has his or her own beauty.  His or her own uniqueness.  His or her own idiosyncrasies and peculiarities.  His or her own belief system and values.  Each human is, indeed, special. Everybody is the same.  Everybody is different.  Such, there are no two people who can be absolutely and completely alike.  Each one of us has some hard wired behaviours.  Each one of us goes through different ways of upbringing while living under the same world. How do I live with differences?  I have to live for who I am and not by someone else's ways of lives.  When two people have beliefs or values that differ too much, it creates friction.  Friction, in itself, is not healthy.  It does not unite but divide.  Along the way, harmony is lost. I have to accept that there will always be different strokes, different vibrations.  Though a healthy relationship involves compromise, I should not sacrifice my life and bend to someone's core principle

When I have no joy within me, there shall be no joy outside of me.  When my mind is struggling, so are the ways of my life.  When I cannot find peace within me, it shall be useless to seek elsewhere. Peace is a state where there is no anxiety in the mind.  Peace is about accepting everything around me.  When there is love in my mind and in my heart, compassion is awakened.  Divinity lives in the heart.   When my mind keeps on thinking, thought after thought non-stop, it creates anxiety.  It wipes out all peace. I have to practice a state of consciousness that is serene, insightful and inspiring.  To insist to have an intellect mind does not make me smart.  Intellect does not mean understanding is achieved.  An intellect mind is full of expectations.  It wants to see things from restrictive, perhaps selfish, perspective. Life is As Is.  To be true to that, I have to stop asking mundane questions. Questions can be irrelevant and without much knowing, they can be food for the ego mindset.

It is good to remember that my existence matters.  At the same time, I have to recognize there are other humans, many people that I know, who are better than me.  They are successful, they work harder and they have accomplished a lot more than me. I have to walk my life with my head down.  I must not envy them.  Instead, I should celebrate their existence, their triumph and victory.  I must not get stuck in self pity with my reality.  I have to step outside of my story to be happy for them. Respect is important.  I have to respect their accomplishments.  I have to be happy for them.  When I do that, I make myself not to compare.  It will make me to be grateful with what I have.  It will make me to accept my circumstances, the way they are, and teach me the lessons on life. Whatever it is that I do, chances are, I will run into a situation in which I am not as good.  Not as skilled.  Not as talented as the person next to me.  I have to acknowledge my weakness.  I have to accept it and b
