The Blessed Life

To know myself, I have to know the people around me.  I have to describe them in truthful ways.   I have to think of everyone in my family and be mindful of their strengths and weaknesses.  Then, I think of my close friends and do the same.  I will continue next, to think of my other friends.   Next, I shall think about my colleagues, my neighbours and so on.  It will do me good should I extend and think of everyone else that cross my path. The larger I can think of more people, the better it is for me to form an idea about myself.  About my values, about my attitude, about my beliefs and behaviours. People with whom I interact with are gifts from the Divine.  Everyone has a message for me.  They show up at the perfect time in my live to reflect something I need to heal within myself. My reactions to all these groups of people are indicative to who I really am.  When I am judgemental of others, I am, in fact, judging myself.  When I point my blaming index finger to someone, I point thr

Let everyday be a good day for a good day, no matter what.  I should not make it otherwise.  When I can make myself to believe in that, everyday will add a little cheer and spirit to my daily life. A good day is when I spend my time and attention on things that matter.  That gives me a smile at the end of the day.  A good day is when I feel that I have achieved in doing a good task, even the smallest thing.  A good day leaves me feeling more energized. Yes, I have those days when nothing goes right.  Are those days, when nothing goes right, can be controlled?  Why do they have to happen? It is what I create, knowingly or unknowingly, that lead for the things to happen.  When I instill an energy of doubts and compound it with negative emotions, everything will not be alright.  When I do not take charge and do for the sake of others, very often nothing can go right. As a human, I have more control over my ability to have a good day than I think.  When I think that everything is a happy t

Thank you to Louise L Hay, I get to learn on my general health.  Her wisdom teaches me that I have to take charge and be responsible for my well being.  In her book, 'You Can Heal Your Life', it educates on the health impact from wrongful thinking.   My thoughts, namely the negative ones, create all my physical discomforts and ill health.  They manifest into all kind of sickness to my physical body.  Everything grows from the seeds of thoughts that I plant in my head. All health problems - be it cancer, diabetes, fever, migraine, pains, skin diseases, vertigo and the list goes on - have to do with the process of the mind.  It has to do with the lack in self esteem, self concept, self worth and self love.  No, it is not about narcissism.  It has nothing to do with vanity or arrogance or being stuck-up, for that is not love. How I think, the process of my mind, determines the state of my being.  When I think negative, I become negative.  When I think of hate, I become hateful. Th

When I want to hear others out, it is important that I have an open mind.  It is important that I listen and not to jump into any conclusions.  I have to hear out entirely and make an effort to understand.  When I commit to listen, I get to know better.  I should stay away to listen to reply. The day I think I know everything is the day I have the most yet to learn.  It is good to engage in conversation with an open mind.  I have to respect the merit of what other people say.  I should avoid the temptation to immediately judge what someone else is saying from their own perspectives. I have to be an open minded listener.  I have to leave my ego when I want to listen to others.  I have to be ready to be open to new ideas or new ways of thinking.  It is good that I throw away any pre-conceived notions. A good communication is when I exercise empathy even when I may disagree.  Yes, I have my opinions on just about everything but when I am listening to others, it is good that I put myself i
