The Blessed Life

     Dear You , Everything has an end.  Everything has a beginning.  It is the end of a year and a new beginning is about to happen. It has been one good year where our paths crossed.  Where you have made a presence in my life.  To teach me with something, to impart me the knowledge about life.  Without you, I will not have learned.  Without you, I will not have known on the facts, the information and the skills to go through the divine experience of what life encompasses. To this 👆🏻, from a soul to another, "I love you, love you, love you." It has been another year where our experiences bring us to agree and disagree.  Where my mistakes have to be owned and where my wrong-doings need to be acknowledged.  I am not perfect and so long I am called a human, without doubts, I make mistakes along the way.  I may have imposed my presence onto yours.  I may have inflicted pains.  And, I may have taken advantage. To this 👆🏻, from a soul to another, "I am sorry, I am sorry, I

 See, observe and watch how babies grow.  How these innocent souls try anything they will.  They are not afraid to venture.  They do not know what is failure and strive to make things work for them.  They make attempts to do practically all kinds of things.  They are free spirited. It is when the parents, and everybody else major around them, start to nurture and teach them that their utmost potentials get inhibited.  Fear is being introduced in their lives.  And so are the many rules and restrictions.  They grow according to what is told to them. All parents love their children.  They want the best for them.  Be known as, much of the children's values are those of their parents.  Children are influenced by the parents' likes and dislikes, the parents' principles, morals and standards. What I am today is the product of my upbringing.  At the critical period of development, at my young adulthood, I become almost like my parents.  I live with the standards and values of those

Perfect joy is in the little things.  Are we nourishing the little things in our lives?  Are we making the little things to spark joy?  Are we allowing them to spark the light and letting them, with gratitude, to burst with opportunities?  Or, are we taking all the little things to be unimportant?  Are little things too insignificant and they don’t matter?  Are they too inconsequential and too trivial?  It is often said we are not to be petty.  We are told not to fret over small stuffs.  We are frequently reminded to let go of things that are not important, in the grand scheme of life.  Essentially, life is better when we do not let life forces to focus on things that do not hold significant importance.  It is good to take the best and trash the rest.  While there is meaning to everything, not all things are meant for immediate actions.  Do not count the chickens before they are hatched. That said, does it make us, unconsciously, to be complete

  Forgiveness has to be done from deep within, with heavy feelings of regret and remorse.  It is not an act to get away or to sweep things under the carpet.  It is always easy to say ‘I am sorry and please forgive me’.  However, these words mean nothing when they are not sincerely meant. We have to be mindful on why we need to forgive.  Importantly, why is there a need to do it?  What is the purposeful purpose?  Can forgiveness erase the past, all the wrong deeds?  With forgiveness, will it make us a better person moving forward? Let us forgive ourselves every day.  Let us forgive others every day.  Let forgiveness be a norm every day.  Let us forgive to become a better human. Whether we are to forgive ourselves (and/or others), the mind needs to concede to the resolution.  The alignment is crucial to make things right.  The heart needs to internalize.  It must not be for the mind to take a stand to brush away on what was wrongfully schemed.  There should
