The Blessed Life

As a human, I make mistakes.  I have to own them.  I must not shift my faults to others.  Shifting to make others be responsible for my mistakes reflects badly on me.  When I cannot take full responsibility on my bad acts and judgement, will the divine light within me get brighter? I need to check my pride.  Too much of it alters communication and connection.  Too think so highly of myself will make me to focus on the downside of others instead of their beauty, no matter how significant.  How can I allow myself to think such thing when all men are created equal. Should I put myself high up on a pedestal, it changes my relationship with others.  It can ruin on the ways I live to reach out to them.  I need to stay humble, regardless of any achievements. Success and material accomplishments are temporary.  Plus, I do not get to bring them with me on the day I leave this world.  Getting myself too attached with them all will, unconsciously, make me to lose humility. Pride is a crime where

I need to remember this wisdom, always.  You said (something like) "Do not complain the mess on your neighbour's front door when there's ton of untidy state of things at your backyard". I want to be reminded too with this: "how people treat me is their karma; how I react is mine".    Yes! I should not judge.  When I do not want to be judged, then I should not judge others.  I should learn to refrain from negative utterances in all conversations - when making comments, when giving opinions, when telling jokes and when sharing - at all time.

To be upset when others are judging me is the result of my own doing.  What I give out is what I get back.  I am my own greatest enemy.  I am the one that sabotages myself.  It is circle in the sand - what goes around, comes around. The law of cause and effect is unbiased.  As I sow, so sh

Kindness facilitates humans to understand and reducing the chances of friction and conflict.  It is an act, a moral code, that makes interaction among humans gainful.  It imparts richness and ethical beauty to social dealings. Kindness is selfless, compassionate and merciful.  To be a good human, I have to be kind to one another.  It includes in all my acts, my words and my thoughts.  It is good that I nurture my heart to be tender and that I easily forgive. The more I practice kindness, I will experience positive mental and physical changes.  My acts have to be friendly, generous and considerate.  My thoughts have to be filled with love and peace interacting with others. In everything that I do, I must do to others what I would have them do to me.  When I want to be kind, I must not think to gain any explicit reward or to avoid certain punishment.  My acts of kindness are to strengthen relationships.  They are to give me a sense of joy, peace of mind and the fulfillment to be a human.
