The Blessed Life

Thank you for this meaningful quote, Ms Lily Amis (An author) - 'You go nowhere in this world if you think you are better than everyone else.  Always stay humble, child, regardless of what you achieve in your life'. A downfall in life is when I dismiss not to be humble.  When I disregard humility.  Worse, when I am full of pompous attitude and not grounded.   I have to remember where I come from.  I have to remember my roots and all the struggles I go through.  I come from nothing and while I may think that I have succeeded, success is always temporary.   There will always be many hills to climb on my journey in life, in all ways of living.  I am not more important than many others.  Every human is equally valuable, with success or otherwise.  I am not always right and that I do not have all the answers. As a human, I have this primal instinct wanting for approval and seeking acceptance from others.  It is done whether I am consciously aware of doing so or not.  This type of ap

When I take charge to care for my well being, I have to take conscious effort to be kind to myself.  I should know the extent of my boundaries and limits.  I must not make the stress of life any worse than it already is.  While limiting myself can affect productivity and I will not get to know how far I can go, I need to find a balance. A big part of self care is to learn how to cope with difficult situations.  It is important that I draw the line between myself and what are peoples' expectations of me.  I have to be aware of my strengths and my weaknesses.  It is wise that I know how much I am capable to cope and the distance I can handle. When I do not know my boundaries and limits, I will not be doing justice to my body and mind.  I have to define what exactly is too far or too much for me in order to know how much I can achieve.  Without knowing it, it may negatively impact my health. Nonetheless, I should not limit myself forever.  There is no boundary and no limit when I thin

Should I want to empower myself, and be a good human, I must learn not to give any excuses.  I should avoid using excuses for my anger, my disappointment, my frustrations and why I am not getting what I am looking for.  There is no 'outside' reason why things fail other than my own doing. All things start from within me.  I am the captain of my life, steering at the wheel.  When I do not take full responsibility and keep pointing fingers at others, or giving more and more excuses, I am not pleasing my soul.  To make excuses for my difficulties or failures reflects badly on my well BEing. Yesterday, when I was in the queue to get inside a supermarket, a lady had problem with her #TraceTogether token.  It resulted the queue to get longer.  It made some people frustrated, including me.  More than five minutes gone by and she was told by the Safe Entry Ambassador that the battery of her token had gone flat.  She looked at the queue and apologized. Should she have known better, she

Besides taking care of myself, it will be of great significance I take charge of my life too.  I have to take care of my well being so I can function.  And, the idea to take charge of my life forces me to assume responsibility for my well being.  It is where I am taking control for every aspects of my life. When I take charge, I live my life the way I want it to be.  It shall be right by me and for me where I am comfortable in my own skin.  I do not become what others want me to be but to live by the aspirations of my soul.  I will be the captain of my destiny where I manage my priorities in a mindful manner. It is important for me to take charge of my own life.  My safety, my happiness, my joy and all my success rely on me alone.  It is my sole responsibility to fulfill what I am supposed to be.   Others can lend their hands but when I do not have the confident and the courage, nothing is achievable.  Confidence puts me through challenges.  Courage gets me out of my comfort zone.
