The Blessed Life

It shall be good that I make efforts to know the meanings of the heart messages.  Have I heard the sigh of my heart?  Does my heart have a voice?  Does my heart have its own language to communicate with me? The heart is always wanting to communicate with the mind and the soul.  It is more than just an organ, just like the brain.  The heart is a centre of unconditional love.  It is a depository of thoughts, ideas and meanings.  The mind and the heart are not each other's enemy.  They make up and complete the wellness of my BEing. I have to pay attention to the voice of my heart.  I need to quiet my mind to hear it.  My heart teaches me what love is and, at its peak, to make me be 'Love'.  My heart is often the mediator of what is good.  It is intuitive and filled with feelings and emotions. I will do myself a great favour when I say these phrases to my heart.  Each day, I have to tell my heart that 'I love you, I am sorry, ...

It is always easy to shift the blame to others than to accept the responsibility.  It is, somehow, a natural defence mechanism to preserve one's self esteem.  When the blame gets directed elsewhere, it lessens own's guilt, liability and shame. What is the usual reaction when things go wrong?  To validate excuses and blame on 'Fate' or 'Luck' or 'Karma' is gross ignorance.  The more I am doing that, the more that I am running away from all of my earthly responsibilities.  I  must not forget that I am solely responsible for all my words, thoughts, deeds and actions. When I am not happy, satisfied or fulfilled, it has to do with me.  It has to do with the way I think.  It has to do with my negative attitude and mindset.  Perhaps, I am too eager to charm others or I am full of anxieties or that I am controlling and, plainly, negative. Until I stop blaming others for my awful and miserable feelings and do not take responsibility for them, that lou...

When I am angry with someone, there'll be someone else that will be angry with me.  When I betray someone, there'll be someone else that will betray me.  When I dislike or hate someone, there'll be someone else that will dislike or hate me.  When I hurt someone, there'll be someone else that will hurt me. (Unless I think I am perfect) Should I want love, I have to give love.  Should I want kindness, I have to be kind first.  Should I want to be respected, it has to be earned. This is the reality in life.  What I give out is what I get back. All my actions affect my reactions.  All my actions affect others, even to myself.  Most importantly, all my actions affect my relationship with God.   When I treat people with respect and honesty, people will give that back to me.  When I treat them poorly, I get treated that way too. While I am here, in the midst of all things, I have to learn about my intention.  Every intention makes the diff...

The world instills in me many things and she will continue to do so forever.  She teaches me about humanity.  She coaches me to be human.  She shows me the ropes to stand on my two feet.  She nurtures my mind.  She guides my soul.  Basically, she shelters my well being and takes good care of my needs and wants. I have to be grateful for what she has given me.  For all the valuable life lessons to make my life meaningful.  For developing the purpose so that I can acknowledge, at the end of my journey, my Self Identity. Life is a continuous learning process and discovering new things.  The world is the perfect school, and a good teacher, to shape me as a person.  I have to have an open mind and heart and be willing to learn.  I should reciprocate the world's deeds by disciplining myself to be her good student.  I should have a heart to be appreciative and responsive. There will come a day that I have to give back in return. ...

Joyful, peaceful or respectful relationship is when I can put my feet to feel the emotions of others.  Where I can be thoughtful of the rights and feelings of others.  Where I do not get into their personal space without getting their permission. I should not take matters, in life, for granted.  It is always good that I put myself in someone else's shoes before I jump the gun.  It is good that I take the time to think about how others are feeling.  I have to have tact.  I have to be kind.  I have to be gracious. Being considerate is an integral part of what it means to be human.  It is one thing to feel but putting that feeling into action is another big thing.  What I feel may not be what others feel.  I need to think about how others would react.  I should put myself in their frame of mind.  Everyone that I meet is, somewhat, fighting a battle that I know nothing about. I have to exercise considerate perspective.  When I...

What a wonderful world it will be should I be able, for the love, to inspire and motivate everyone I meet.  That, along the journey of my life I can make aware of God's light.  That, I can illuminate love and kindness.  That, with all things done for the love, the Peace of 'I' will be with me. For the love, I have to start with myself.  I have to let my soul descends to my mind and give it greater knowledge and understanding.  My soul has been waiting to merge with my mind.  My mind has to be ready to accept it.  My mind has to open and not stuck with senseless intellect.   I have to have a mind filled with only love.  When I let down the barrier and open myself to the need for love, divinity fills my well being.  With love, I can live well and be loved. For the love, I must not be selfish.  I have to give love for love to come back to me.  But, love is not a trade off.  I cannot give and expect for some returns or be rewa...

How can I be happy and want to live a life of love but I do not know what love entails.  Love is a four letter word.  Yet there is so much about it that varies from one person to another.  Every human has different perception of what real love is.  And, it can be dramatically different too. Though love encompasses all the intense feeling of extreme happiness, elation and deep affection for someone or something, there is no one best definition of love.  The meaning might not encompass all the emotions that are flowing from one individual to another. To grant love into my life, I need to enlighten myself with its magical wondrous energy.  I need to be able to describe, explain and interpret it.  Only when I appreciate it that the right energy of love comes naturally. I have to define love in accordance to my needs, my wants.  It has to be dear to my heart, meaningful to my mind and very valuable to my soul.  It is a qualitative emotion where I ...

The essence of my own soul is Love.  When I say "I love you", I am starting the process to merge back into the essence of life itself.  I am starting to merge back with the Divine and my devotion to the Creator that creates me. "I love you" is my connection to all relationships.  Importantly, it is my relationship with the Divinity.  It is my relationship with people, with events, with resources and all sources, and with all the breaths that keep me to be thankful to life itself. It is my basic association with life.  With growth.  With survival.  With existence.  With my soul. "I love you" makes my consciousness alive. Saying it can be the most appreciated words.  Saying it means that I have come to appreciate the positive and negative, good and bad, happy and sad, and ups and downs in life. "I love you" creates the impossible possible.  It aligns people with me.  It aligns me with people.  It puts all sources of Life in one s...

Dear my dearest Self, When your world is crumpling down, can it be it's your own actions are causing it?  Can you accept there is nobody else to blame but you?  When you start to have issue with your health, when your heart is broken, when you cry the whole night out of confusion .. can you accept these mishaps are the karma you inflicted upon yourself? How often do you watch your own thoughts?  How aware are you to observe your mouth inventing negativity?  How much do you blame others and not taking full responsibility to own your words, thoughts, deeds and actions? For that matter, are you capable of saying 'I am sorry and please forgive me'?  When saying these phrases, are they said from your soul or just lip service?  Are you capable to recognize and owned your errors, mistakes and wrong doings? My dearest Self, as long as you live, there will always be something that will not be right.  It is a hard truth.  Your intellect is ego driven. ...

When I say 'I know', do I really know?  What am I trying to imply?  Can I accept there are gaps in my knowledge?  When I say 'I know so-and-so', do I really know that person in and out?  When I say 'Oh yes, I know what you are saying', do I know how he or she truly feels inside him or her and the real context? All my life, I am half baked.  What I think I know, I actually do not know.  I am only conveying, expressing, sharing and stating a little of the big thing.  Most time, this deliverance of a 'little of the big thing' is of a personal view based on a personal experience, even when it is of an objective topic. Knowledge is too huge for a human to understand it all.  It is as vast as the universe.  A mind can only comprehend so much in one lifetime.  A mind has limits in the ability to digest information.   The five senses and how the mind processes information are designed for survival rather than seeing reality.  What...
