From A Heart To Another

When I want to complain, I have to be mindful.  Complaining is an emotion signalling that I am unable to comprehend another's acts.  It is a lack of empathy on my part.  It is me jumping into conclusion.  Without full realization, it is the ego that says 'Hey, I am the good one.'

When I am full of annoyance about something, I must step up.  Not doing anything will not improve the situation.  It is useless, and a wasted energy, to continue to express dissatisfaction and insisting not to let things go.  Complaining, definitely, is not going to harmonize any situations.

Obviously I am affected when I am complaining.  What I am dismissing here, there are deep issues that I have not completely resolved within me.  It is always very easy to shift the blame elsewhere.  When I shift it, my ego does not get hurt.  This is the hard truth.

Instead of complaining, I have four alternatives.  

First:  I can stand up and I can voice up.  I can share what I think, though it may not be the right thing.  Sharing is caring.  As Steve Jobs once said 'Life is about creating and living experiences that are worth sharing'.

Second:  I can walk away.  Walking away does not mean a sign of disrespect.  The situation has nothing to do with me and I just happen to pass by.  Socrates says 'The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing'.

Third:  I can start to reflect.  All that happen outside me is a reflection of what is within me.  Every single person is reflecting parts of my consciousness back to me.  He/She is allowing me to see myself, to grow and to change my beliefs.

As Rumi says 'The truth was a mirror in the hands of God.  It fell, and broke into pieces.  Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth'.

Fourth:  From a heart to another, I can choose to listen without reacting, without judging, without trying to fix or without ruminate over it.  Love embraces all.

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

Circle In The Sand

Image
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...
