The Blessed Life

Every day is a good day for a good day.  Each day is a day where life strives to teach me with new things, new lessons.  I must have an open mind.  It is good to anticipate the good things.  Opportunities, as they come, do not just happen.  I have to take each day to create them. Each day is teaching me how to live.  I have to teach myself to face it, with courage to begin and discipline to endure. I need to know what to choose between what I want and what I want most.  With such determination, victory becomes a matter of time. It can be a busy, tiring day.  Or, it can be a happy, peaceful day.  Or, it is a sad, lonely day.  How the day goes by, with each day, is a gift.  It is how I perceive and live it.  Whatever I need to face, it is important to experience the day with positive mindset. It will do me good should I wake up every morning with gentle reminder to myself.  I have to tell myself, and my Inner Child, that there is nothing wrong with us.  That, we have patterns to unlearn,

To change life, I need to change what is inside of me first.   It has to be beautiful for it to get reflected beautifully on the outside world.  When I work to make myself better, everything else will take care of itself. To understand the future is a good thing.  To have goals in life is encouraged.  But, do I live looking at the future or do I live living in the past? I will not know how to love should I do not know the feeling of love inside me.  I will not know how to sing a good song should I not know what a melody is.  I shall be a winner, in life, when I make the best of everything. There is a difference between a good inside and a good outside.   Just as in the situation where some people talk to you on their free time or they take their free time to talk to you. It is important to learn the difference.  It is important to know the difference.  When I can be critical on myself, I learn I am not perfect.  When I learn to know that I am not perfect, I will learn to accept ot

'The apple does not fall far from the tree' , so it says.  It is a phrase to connect of who I am with that of my parents.  So here I am today, a living person of my family line.  I am grateful to be here.  I am thankful to my parents, their parents and their parents' parents.   The lineage - the family tree - would go on and on, all the way back to the beginning of creation.  I have the karmic relationship from my father and his side.  And, so does the traits - the attributes, the characteristics, the qualities - from my mother's side. I am a spark to the sum total to all of them.  I am the sum total of all their good and all their bad.  I have inherited their joy and pain, their love and hate, their success and struggle and their dreams and idiosyncrasies.  There shall be, and always be, something of them inside me.  It is the process of nature.  DNA is shared, it is passed down, like it or not, from them to me and every body else in the family tree.  Each one of us nu

  Should I want to live a peaceful life, I must learn to take responsibility on all my actions.  I have to own my words.  I have to be vigilant on my actions and reactions - and to make sure they are positive. Life is beautiful when I can no longer blame others for my errors, my mistakes.  Life is beautiful when I accept others to be my teachers.  Life is beautiful when I do not take things personal.  Everything in life and my relationship with others are about learning.  It is about my growth.  Should I take every thing personal - from what they want to tell me and from what they want to share with me - I will fail to be a human. I must learn to get rid of things that exhaust my soul.  I need to recognize what makes me happy.  I shall not pretend to be happy when I am hurt.  Yes, I will never able to heal if I keep pretending I am not hurt. Forgiveness is important.  I have to forgive myself should I am not able to forgive others.  A repeated mistake is a choice. Should I want to lear
