The Blessed Life

The mind is constantly adapting and continuously learning something new all the time.  Learning is the never ending process that continues till the day death happens. How does my mind learn?  My mind is like a sponge.  Just as a sponge absorbs water and grows when it is wet, the brain absorbs knowledge and grows when it learns new things.  It soaks up huge amounts of knowledge from the basic five senses.   The mind absorbs information from every sight, every sound, every smell, every taste and every touch.  Gathering data is a natural thing that the mind do.  It does it effortlessly, continuously and indiscriminately. I need to be conscious of what I am allowing my mind to absorb.  Repetition is a mother of learning and whatever activities that I am repetitively doing will become me.  Should I keep watching TV series that's full of 'drama', I become 'drama' in my life too.  Should I keep listening to sad songs over and over, I will feel ...

Dear Divine Creator,  I reach for Your Divine's Hand.  Grant me clarify and focus as I walk further into my journey. Should time and space are sacredly to work for me, fill me with courage and strength that I can be at zero.   That my life can be useful.  That my presence be a blessing. Today, at the beginning of another year, I reach to You with this prayer for my mind, my inner child and my soul. (Sharing this wisdom from Louise Hay, from her book 'You Can Heal Your Life'.  Thank You, Louise Hay) [Quote] I am willing to let go.  I release.  I let go.   I release all tension.  I release all fear.  I release all anger.  I release all guilt.  I release all sadness.   I let go of all old limitations.  I let go and I am at peace.   I am at peace with myself.  I am at peace with the process of life.   I am safe. [Unquote] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It is important that I find balance in my life.  While it is essential that I make good sustainable money to survive, I should not make it as the ultimate goal in my life.  While it is key that I enjoy my life, I have to balance it by giving myself time to walk a holistic spiritual path too.  There has to be a balance between my material world and my spiritual life. When I am at the peak, I have to remember where I come from.  When I am at the bottom, it is good that I accept it positively.  At any moment, I have to stay humble.  I should not be too proud with a mindset that 'it will never happen to me'.  Life can turn around on me any moment. I have to ponder on the wisdom of Socrates.  He says 'Are you not ashamed of caring so much for the making of money and for fame and prestige, when you neither think nor care about wisdom and truth and the improvement of your soul?'  There is so much truth on his wise words. To live a balanced life mean...

Believing in myself means that I have faith in my own capabilities.  It means believing that I can do something, that is within my ability.  When I believe in myself, I can overcome self doubt.  I shall have the confidence to take action and get things done. It is important that I trust myself.  Trust creates courage.  I have to find the courage to fan the tiny inner sparks of possibility, within me, into flames of achievements.  It is the self confidence that allows me to keep looking for what can be my best. To be myself in a world that is constantly trying to make me something else is an accomplishment.  The beliefs that work for me has to come from not always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.  Naturally, I have fears, have doubts and have worries but I must not let these feelings stop me from believing. Self belief requires a holistic plan of actions.  I have to take control of my thoughts and feelings.  I have to overcom...

"The greatest thing you'll learn is just to love and be loved in return."  This is such a beautiful sentence, taken from the song "Nature Boy". Love is amazing and it is universal.  I am born of love.  Yet, I do not think much about it.  I take love for granted as much as I am accepting without question the air that I breathe.  Both sustain lives and yet I do not give them much thought.  Yet, I hardly think of them because they will always be available or stay exactly the same. When was the last time I thanked Love and the Air?  When was the last time I said "Thank you" to all the things that are around me? Have I thanked my wallet that houses the money, the important cards and that carries a photo of my loved ones? Have I thanked my bed that gives me the good goodnight sleep? Have I thanked my house that provides me with a safe home? Have I thanked the green grass, the tall trees, the beautiful flowers for beautifying my world? Have I thanked the wind...

Life lessons can be learned at any time.  It is whether I can appreciate and apply them.  Wisdom does not have to wait for the right place, right time.  Everything that is happening to me has a story to teach me.  Each event, each happening and each encounter is waiting for my realization. It depends on my desire, that very strong feeling of wanting, to learn.  Am I hungry enough for wisdom, to accept that there is meaning to life?  It has to do with awareness.  Have I been listening to myself?   When I am not, I will not be able to live my life to the fullest.  I will not know my values and will not know my life's purpose. Lessons to become aware come in many forms.  I have to understand on coincidences, on the synchronicity of life.  Synchronicity goes beyond space and time.  Synchronicity helps me to move forward and to enter a new phase of life.  The key is whether I am aware to comprehend its existence and follow...

I am not here to live forever.  Life and Death go hand in hand.  Without one, there cannot be another.  Between the time I was born till the day I go, my life here is not about a dress rehearsal.  There are no second chances.  Everything there is for me,  I only get one shot at it.  This is it. Where my Life is now, this is the real thing.  Life is long enough to fool me into thinking it will last forever, yet short enough to waste.  I have to take ownership of my life.  I have to get to understanding and wisdom. How will I live my life?  Do I indulge at meaningless activities or do I live with purpose?  Do I spend my days complaining or do I give appreciation and gratitude?  Do I wait for something to happen or do I make it happen?  Do I criticize the efforts of others or do I take initiative to be proactive? I cannot give my life more time.  Death is absolutely guaranteed upon all.  It is already written....

It is the fact of life.  Everything passes no matter what.  Whatever that I am feeling, experiencing and undergoing has its time and rhythm.  Ultimately, these phases pass and everything changes.  Everything that is in life is changeable, everything appears and disappears. The lesson I have to learn here is, I need patience, time and reflection.  Everything that happens has a beginning and an end.  The bad thing will not be bad forever.  And when I am having the good thing, I have to remember to make the most of it to have it as a good memory. When I have patience, I lack nothing.  With patience, I am able to advance and enjoy my life journey, take on changes and not allow the presence to escape.  With all that passed will give rise to meaning.  What I have to do is to be more aware of what is happening. Time changes the nature of the Universe.  Nothing remains and nothing stays.  The understanding of this phenomenon makes the ...

I have to learn to go into silent mode, where my mind thinks of nothing and be nothing.  I have to go back into that one atom that makes my human body.  I have to relive the experience.  I have to find it through prayers, by sitting to meditate or simply becoming quiet and dismiss any incoming and outgoing thoughts. I have to reboot my life back into silence and remember the purpose why I am here.  It will be amazing to feel the same emotions I felt in the past are being felt again.  I have to listen to the beauty of silence as it has so much to tell me.  Miseries in life come from not being able to quiet the mind. All over the vast Universe is the language of silence.  Where the Universe talks without speaking.  Where it hears without listening.  When there is no exchange of words and expression, silence nourishes wisdom.  Silence brings truth, where noise creates illusions. When the world is a little more silence, if every humans keep ...

  Can I accept that when I cannot tahan someone's attitude / behaviour that the same attitude / behaviour exists in me?  That, this person is the mirror of my deep unresolved issue?  Am I aware what I see in others, exists in me?  Are the flaws I see in others actually a reflection of myself? I should pay more attention to go inward and simply not to pass judgment too quickly.  Does the person whom I criticize, judge and get me worked up so easily has something to do with my unresolved issues?  Are their existence is to let me to learn about myself? Life is a delicate process of working to better myself.  While self awareness allows me to be with the betterment for beautiful life to unfold, I have to let this awareness guides me deeper.   Every time when I am about to say something unpleasant about others, or that I am going to react negatively, I have to take in by looking at myself first.  Everything I see brings with it the opportunit...
