How Do I Know

A message was posted in a social media group and it makes me thinking.  It makes me wonder how egoistical am I?  Would I be able to realize and admit that I am one?  Am I that sort that must win at all costs rather than I do my best and just be humble?  Do I easily blame others when things don't go my way?

The message reads 'Leave the ego, otherwise everyone leaves you'.  

Even when everyone is to leave me, I have to live a humble life.  I have to find ways whether my arrogance is slowly putting people off?  Do I constantly talk about myself and brag all my family's greatest achievements and not asking others how they are?  Being humble will make a difference in the lives of all humans.

I have to analyze my thoughts.  Do I feel superior to others?  Do I feel inferior to others?  What do I need to do to feel equal?  There has to be a way that I can self reflect.  Should I dismiss not to analyze my thoughts, I can become self centered.

Too much arrogance will not make me to find balance between looking out for myself and taking others into consideration.  I have to recognize my flaws, surely I have them.  I have to swallow my pride, surely I have them too.

Do I think of myself a great deal?  Do I have an exaggerated sense of self importance?  Do I have lots of resentment?  While life warrants self confidence as an asset, I should not confuse it with ego.  It is good to be confident but walking the line between self assured and egoistical is a trickier balancing act.

I reach for Divinity's Hand to guide me.  Please, dear God, make me to be aware of my capabilities and my limitations.  Please guide me not to be overly confident that I cannot admit wrong to myself, let alone to others.

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...
