Sometimes In Life

Sometimes in life, I need to stop for a moment.  And, I must stop for that moment.  I should not keep going without taking the time, the moment to ponder for what is next to come.  I must not chase after my shadow without spending time to appreciate what is there in my hands.

There must be a reason when I stop for that moment.  What is important is for me to be grateful.  I have to be thankful to what life has given me, to where it has brought me.  At that moment, I need to realize what I have done, what I have traded on all my options.

In this world that is full of pleasure so frail, I need to sit back to smell the roses.  Wisely, I must be grateful and acknowledge the source of goodness in my life.  I need to pause to recognize the daily moments that bring me joy and be thankful.

Day by day, everything about my life shall unfold.  Should I not take the time to stop for that moment, I may not know who I am.  I may continue to wander, might be blindly or carelessly, without letting my soul to guide me.

When I take the time to stop for a moment, I am allowing my mind to rejuvenate and to slow down.  Only when I stop that I can have a deeper understanding of appreciation.  Only when I am taking my time to take a breather that I can be reminded about the purpose of life.

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 won’t let go. When I keep thinking I already know and I feel that I am

Stop Complaining

Image
Should I am a good person, why is my life not perfect all the time?  Why am I not feeling peaceful indefinitely?  Why can’t I be happy constantly?  Why are there continuous recurring hiccups along the way?  What made these feelings fleeting? Getting old is one thing.  To get sick and weak, as age progresses, is natural.  But, while I am still not old old, why am I not having a steady balanced good health?  Why are my body and my health kept failing me? Have I pondered much about these questions?  Or, do I live in denial and insisted that I live with the good vibes the entire time?  Have I not wondered on my unpredictable fluctuating inner wealth?  Am I too arrogant to shrug off any indicative problematic signs on my belief system?  Does not my bad health or my anxiety teach me the life lesson? Who is right?  What is right?   Who is wrong?  What is wrong? So, here is my cry for help :   Should there be a human out there, who gossips about me and totally free of life problems, please pra

Learn To Value Yourself

Image
It was penned by one US President that ‘all men are created equal’. I do not have the wisdom to elaborate on it but that phrase, in itself, holds dear in my heart.  It makes sense to me.  It gives me the insight on how to live my life.  It gives me the assurance to hold sanity to my mind and soul. My success and my failure, in life, are my doing.  I have to take full responsibility and no one is to blame.  Blaming others for my mistakes only reflects on my shortcomings, my bad as a human.  It shows my inability to take charge on all my actions.  It reveals my poor, flimsy attitude and negative character. Should I succeed, or I fail, is because I am allowing it to happen.  It happens because I lose the sight that all Man is equal, that each human is born with equal potentials, with a pure soul.  In any of our imperfections, we are created equal.  When I acknowledge it, I will live a gracious life.  With such acceptance, I become socially aware and I will have positive impact upon mysel
