The Blessed Life

Should I want to achieve anything of value and meaning in life, I need to be consistent.  To succeed, there should be a desire to keep a constant momentum.  Being consistent is the difference between failure and success.  When I take any tasks lightly, there's a chance that I will simply give up half way.  Worse, I am losing myself on my own evolution and purpose of life. I have to be consistent in my endeavours.  There has to be conviction to gain greater insights and understandings.  The push has to come from within me, nobody else will be able to do it for me.   Like Rumi says 'It is your road and yours alone.  Others may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you'.  There is a feeling of inner peace and joy when there is constant purpose of doing things consistently. Consistency is an act of courage.  The courage to persevere and the bravery to know that things work.  It is about being regular and steady.  I have to put consistent efforts in order to see results.  

I should not hang around with people who make me not who I am.  I should live for who I am and not by what others want me to be.  Pretending to be will only hurt my soul.  I should not mix around for the mere sake of appearing to be popular.  It is better to be authentic rather than about being good.  I have to be who I am.  I have to be where happiness is. But, before I get to know where I should be, I have to know what I want to be.  And, before I get to know what I want to be, I have to have the identity of who I am. Who am I?  Am I just this body?  Am I a label of my name?  Of my status?  Of my achievements and experiences?  Of what I have and what I do not?  What is my Self Identity?  Is there more to me than my physical image? When I introduce myself to others, how do I let them know who I am?  I can describe myself with my name, my occupation and my interests.  But they are all the physical aspects of my earthly presence.  Is there more of me than all these? I have to be who I a

The mind can be a friend or an enemy.  Very often, the mind relies on the past to predict for the future.  While the past is a good gauge to safeguard on my well being, it can also stop me from progressing.   As a human, I hinder my own growth by over thinking.  Sadly, the mind often tends to form an idea about something before it really knows much about it too. I have to look forward and not to be stuck in my past.  I have to dream big, the bigger the better.  When I set my goals higher and should they fail, I will fail not at the very bottom.  Aiming high gives me better results. I should not downgrade my dream to fit my reality.  Instead, I have to upgrade my conviction to match my destiny.  It is such conviction that motivates and pushes me to success.  When there is such a conviction, it accelerates my ability and builds bigger courage to handle all kinds of challenges in life. There is nothing wrong to think big.  When my dreams do not scare me, then I am not doing right for me.
