The Blessed Life

Constantly as I am telling myself not to judge, there is always a tiny part in my brain that continues to do so.  There is always something that the mind needs to justify, as though that I am perfect.  As though that I do not make mistakes but others do.  As though that I live in a world of mindfulness and not others. My mind is wired to store information and all my experiences.  With all the stored information and experiences, my mind uses them to form expectation.  Judgements are expectations.  Should I want to minimize my judgemental mind, I have to continue to clean my storage bank of information and experiences. When I judge others, what does it say about me?  Obviously I am a self righteous, self justifying human being.  Clearly, my mind creates a hierarchy where I am better and superior than everyone and everything that I meet.  My arrogance has the urge to be right, to be better and to be superior. I wonder how much does my soul can t...

My senses generate thousands and thousands of thoughts.  The brain is one busy organ and my mind formulates thoughts from all the five basic senses.  Should I don't learn to calm myself, these huge amounts of thoughts can trigger stress.  They can create havoc to my well being. Ideally, I have to live with what suits me best.  I have to empower my dominant thought.  I need to know what motivate me and abandon those that do not.  Dominant thoughts are the ones that shape my life the most.  Positive thoughts will make me positive and when I have dominant negative thoughts, I will be negative. With such a busy mind, I have to guard my mouth.  It is a little co-operation mechanism with my brain.  My mouth needs to know what is good, what is important, what is rationale and what is wise.   I have to ask myself before I speak - is it necessary to vocalize the unnecessary remarks?  Is it necessary to have the final word?  Is it necess...

While I cannot be one hundred percent perfect, I can aim to be a beautiful human instead.  To do that, I have to be aware of how I think and how I behave.  I have to hear how I speak.  I have to observe how I act.  I need to be conscious of all my words, thoughts, deeds and actions. Do I know how am I as a person?  Consistently, I have to check if it is my arrogance speaking to me whenever I am interacting with others.  When I think intellect counts, do I know that the functions of intellect can be insufficient without compassion, empathy and love? To be a beautiful human, I have to be aware of my negative feelings.  When they are creeping upon me, do I recognise the danger of feeding those feelings and keeping them alive?  A beautiful human is a moral BEing that strives for harmony and upholds to that value. A beautiful human accepts people as they are.  Do I?  There is no judgement on colours, background, race or religion.  Am I?...

A loving relationship is heavenly.  It is where two or more people, or groups or things, are connected.  It is a bond that grows on basic principles and made rich by values like care, honesty, kindness, respect and support. Building a loving relationship takes effort.  It requires a deep sense of understanding and a heightened consciousness of letting the souls to connect.  It practices heart to heart conversation to increase closeness.  It inspires the minds, the souls and grounds the relationships. A heart to heart talk is not about who is better or smarter or who controls who.  When I want to engage heart to heart talk, I have to leave my ego aside.  I should not engage the talk with a mindset that I am more educated and with an inflated feeling that I have more experience.  It should not involve purposeful humiliation or to run another person under the bus.   Heart to heart talk is a deep communication for a more meaningful life.  Wh...

I have to stand by behind my words.  These words are what made me.  They become the foundation and the pillars of my life.  They form the colours of my aura and shape its auric fields.  They are the sounding board for the Universe to manifest my intention. When I promise to help someone, I have to stand by that commitment.  When I say that I will do (a task), I have to bring it to completion.  When I tell myself to change, I should honour and effect it.  I have to live up and do as I said I would.  I cannot be saying one thing and do the opposite.  Keeping these intentions and be consistent to carry them out create integrity. At the same time, it is super super important that I hear how I say my words.  What I say and how I say them will cause the results.  It is the combined articulation of words and sounds that put things in perspective.  Together, they can divide or unite.  Or they can hurt or heal. Words are vehicles t...

The Universe is in full abundance.  With its vastness, so is life.  When I look at every available opportunities, indeed that life is full of choices.  Where I am today is the direct result of the choices I have made up to this point in my life.  All the choices have come together to create the person I am today and the life I live. Choice is an energy of free will.  With all the available resources on Mother Earth, the freedom to choose allows humans to be what they want to be.  The gift to choose shapes lives exactly how humans wish.  Choice is a piece of a puzzle that fits the whole picture.  Every piece counts. I have to be conscious of my choices.  Everything that happens to me is a result of these choices.  In return, these choices will impact my life tomorrow.  It will do me good should I am able to weigh the benefits.  The choices I make must give me happiness and peace.  They have to be important and they carry va...

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. ...
