The Blessed Life

Kindness is a gift that everyone can afford to give.  It is the simple quality of being friendly, generous and considerate.  To be kind is more than being 'nice'.  Kindness is an act rooted in empathy and acceptance.   There is no price tag to it.  In fact, the more I can give it, the more is the reward.  There should not be any reasons why I have to be kind to others.  When I can be kind to others, it not only changes me, it changes the world around me too. Kindness is the energy of the Divine.  It is, and always will be, an act of love in action.  Kindness improves quality of life.  It can bring my soul closer to another.  With kindness, it elevates the soul vibrations.  Kindness can make a bad day good and a good day better. I have to cultivate this energy.  I have to instil it in my thoughts, my words, my deeds and my actions.  I have to remind myself that the act of kindness is why I am here on Earth.  It is...

Every day is a new beginning.  Each day can bring a lot of promise.  There are tiny miracles in each new day.  It is how I see them.  It is how I present the perspective.  Every single effort is changing my body from the inside. Yesterday has left me and I have to look forward to move on.  It is good that I take stock of what I have left behind and then look ahead.  A new opportunity means a fresh start with all the wonderful possibilities. When I greet a day with an open heart, I am telling my mind a chance for new opportunities.  That all the efforts that I put on today will create for better tomorrow.  When tomorrow comes, it will be another new day with new beginning.  And, I have to continue to greet it with another open heart.  Little by little, a little becomes a lot. When I let the cycle go on, day after day, I honour to live in the moment.  Living in the present moment means that I am living my life consciously.  ...

Do I accept life as it is?  Or, do I dictate the stories of life with 'What if' and 'what it should be'?  Do I doubt everything that is happening?  Do I often think that there is always something else, something better?  And, can I be satisfied with what is presented to me? Can I accept that everything happens for love?  That, there is good reason to why things happen the way they are?  Behind everything that is happening is seeking for my gratitude.  Behind all that is happening is God's plan to make me feel safe, though my mind may think otherwise.  Everything that is happening is a catalyst for the next big good thing. Fighting with the intellect will not help me to accept life as it is.  The ability to understand is far beyond any intelligence.  My intellect does not know much of the truth.  I have to accept the intellect is ego driven.  It thinks it knows better and more.  What it does not know is the poor translation...

The mirror is a powerful tool.  It is also a very useful tool for self reflection.  The mirror, hopefully, would be able to let me see my identity and more.  I have to allow it to provide clarity to understand myself. I have to stare hard at my reflection.  And, I must have the willingness to look further within.  When I engage in self reflection, I am making a conscious effort to know 'who am I?'.  It shall be an exercise to better understand myself, to be able to define who I want to be and to set myself on the path to infinite potential. It is solely my duty to decide whether I want to see the real me in front of the mirror.  It is said that I can learn from reflecting.  When I see myself in the mirror, what do I notice?  What do I see?  What do I learn?  Will there be something that I want to change, to improve? At the same time, I have to look inside my mind when looking into the mirror.  The more that I see and the more I...

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...
