Compared to What?

Life is Just Is.  Should I make a remark that life is hard, what am I comparing life to?  Who am I compared it with?  When I say that tomorrow will be a better day, what is the basis for my positivity?

It is natural that I shall look for differences and similarities in life.  But, is there a need for it?  The attitude to compare robs me of gratitude, joy and fulfillment to what life is.  Worse, it prevents me from fully living my life.

When I insist to compare, I am not giving myself to live with faith.  I make myself to envy on others and seek theirs rather than appreciating what I have.  Constantly doing so, I fail at giving gratitude.  It robs me of my most procession - life itself.

There is nothing good ever comes from trying to compare myself to others.  Comparing my life with others is a losing proposition.  Fact is, there will always be others who appear to be better off.  And, that should not affect me should I accept my self identity.

There is no end to the comparison game.  The more I let my mind to compare, I will never, ever find an end to it.  Comparing to measure up against others holds absolutely no importance in life.  A contented life is taken away by the unhealthy habit of comparing myself to others.

I have to celebrate who I am.  Everyday, I have to live my life as who I am and not by what others think or expect of me.  The goal of life, my life, is to be the best of who I am that I can possibly be.

I love you.  I am sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.

Circle In The Sand

Life.   What do I think of it?  What do I want out of it?  How do I want to live it?  What motivates me to live?  What truly drives me to succeed? Without knowing what life is and how I want it to be, life gets stagnant.  Worse, everything I do will be circle in the sand that goes round and round.  I am not allowing the light inside me to become brighter.  It is a disservice should I not let Life to grow to its full potential. My light has to guide me.  My intuition should be the legs to walk me.  My gratitude will be the golden key that opens all opportunities.  I have to take awareness seriously.  It is to realize on the consciousness towards my existence leading to a man’s search for meaning. Every day, I am faced with the never ending battle between what I feel and what I know.  There is a persistent stubborn voice of reason trying to fix what is not meant to be.  There is constant struggle against a heart that wo...

The New Breeds Of Humans

Image
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 exi...

Everything Is Connected To Everything Else

I need to remind myself not to chase after Heaven, unrealistically, when my works on Earth are not done properly.  I have to make sure that my earthly duties are not neglected.  I need to perform them correctly and satisfactorily and I do them from a good heart. These earthly duties are my utmost responsibility for they are the yardsticks on my performance as a human, as a soul.   On the same principle,  I should never get too busy making a living that I forget to make a life.  How I spend my time on Earth is crucial.  It is what I do here that will determine my worth, my usefulness.  It is the sum total of my faith and my take on spirituality.  It has to be carried out with full consciousness in harmony with Heaven and Earth. Where there is a beginning, there is an end.  Death is not an ‘if’ but ‘when’.  How do I live?  Do I yearn for a beautiful ending at the end of my time on Earth?  Heaven rewards what I do with my lif...
