The Blessed Life

Oh my dear self, do you have a big halo above your head that you expect others to give you every respect?  Do you fart Chanel no. 5 and judge those who comment on your bad attitudes?  Do you think, with whatever title, label or status you earned, puts you on higher levels above others? Just because your neighbours know you, are nice and kind to you, that the world must do the same?  Just because you pray and practice mindfulness every day that God is blessing you more?  Just because you think you are blessed today, that God will bless you tomorrow and all the days after? What will you do when you see a blind, handicapped tissue seller on a wheelchair?  What is your reaction when a stranger who looks healthy asks you for $5, telling you he/she needs it to buy dinner?  Why do you disrespect others and shame their dignity in public?  Why do you think that things happen, not the way you expect them? Don't you think everything is to be earned?  Don't y...

With my freewill to build my life, I face challenges.  There are ups and downs.  There are days that I walk into a road less traveled.  Yet, at the end of each day, I thank the stars that keep me safe.  I thank the angels, my Inner Child, my loved ones and importantly, I thank God. It is okay to take the road less traveled.  I should live the way it feels right for me.  It has to be a life that I am happy with, that I can feel at peace constantly.  I do not have to conform with the majority. Taking the road less traveled can heighten my senses.  It makes me to value myself and makes me to realize the importance.  It is teaching me that life has a price to it.  I have to work for what I want. The road less traveled gives me the insight about Self, about Love and about making things right.  It is showing me that I have to be willing to go through hardship and work it through.  I have to learn to quiet my mind and not to let it be...

It is better for me to stay quiet rather than I say something that I do not  know much.  Hindsight is not wisdom and second guessing is not effective.  To voice out for the mere sake to be heard is not good communication.  It is an act where I am listening, not to understand, but for the sake to reply. The more I take the silence pills, the more that I am trying to reach out for Divinity's Hand.  That, with a quiet mind, the light of the Divine brightens the consciousness within me.  When I silence my mind, my soul speaks.  It is where I allow love to manifest. Silencing my mind does not mean that I stop to think.  It means that I think when I need to think.  It is to keep all the unnecessary thoughts to calm down.  Not to entertain them so that my ability to focus improves, with better clarity. Wish I know how to free my soul from the prison of my mind.  Wish I know how to wake my soul from within.  For him to reach out to me,...

Life is a journey filled with lessons.  It is a journey that will ultimately lead me to my destination, even if I might not understand it.  Each day brings laughters and tears.  Each walking day shines new light, new hope and new learning.  Each walking day can also be hardships and heartaches.  Nonetheless, each day is a great blessing. Along the journey, I become what I digest into my spirit.  Whatever I think about, focus on, read about, talk about, I am attracting more into my life.  I have to learn to make it right.  I am to get it right.  I have to do what is best.  Each day is a gift and I must not sent it back unopened. At times, I feel tired and there are days that I want to do more.  I want to strive to do good as much as I can.  At times, I am lost but my soul nudges me to move forward.  At times, I am facing a great deal of trial, stress and exhaustion but my mind will ask me why give up? Journey of life is not...

Study says that by the time I reach adulthood, I have developed about 95 percent of traits and values from my childhood and adolescent years.  The traits and values which I acquire, develop and energize become habitual mannerisms, all learned from my external sources, since the age of one.   What's left in my adulthood, to become fully of who I truly am, is a small percentage.  Largely, my external environment influenced the person I become today. In such circumstances, I am the by-product of certain traits and values that might not be from my true self.  The external characteristics, habits and mannerisms are, sub-consciously, ingrained into my internal beliefs. Ninety five percent is a big number.  It is as good that I have lived a life based on someone else's principles.  With such great percentage,  there is an absence of my true self identity.  The only way to claim back is to clean and erase the past errors. Whatever the circumstances are, w...

Hope matters.  But, I should not just continue to be hoping for something and not learned from any results.  I have to rethink the next time I place a hope and get it replaced with actions.   I should not be blatant, helplessly hoping, and not to be proactive and put in the extra efforts.  The energy of hope has to be transferred into actions. When I am hoping for something to happen, I have to be aware with my participation too.  I should not be doing nothing and let hope to do all the hard works.  I have to help myself first.   Taking care of myself so that I can be more productive and organized.  When I cannot help myself, how can hope help me? I am responsible to myself.  I have to love myself.  I have to care for myself.  And, I have to help myself.  It is me, only me, that can safeguard progress in my life.  I have to have will power, determination and strength. I have to think like the flowing water, flowi...

When I acknowledge that there is an Inner Child in me, I am expanding my consciousness wider.  I am adding another energetic life force within me.  Together, I am doubling the source of strength to walk through the journey in my life. My Inner Child is second in command to my conscious mind.  He is the assistant who shall shed light for the better me.  Unlike me, Inner Child is naturally innocent, loving and uncomplicated.  He is the soul of my existence. It is important that I connect with my Inner Child, which is a better type of relationship than what I have with others.  When my Inner Child and I can become one, I will live better.  I become happier.  My life evolves with the meaning of life and will not get the past to affect me. The more I let my Inner Child to exist, I am connecting with the present.  I recognize the healing process that erased my past trauma.  I will live in my present with the wounds of the past deleted. ...

While I may want to think that I am on the right path, I also have to know that it is not the only path.  Regardless the destination, all roads lead to Rome.  Everything plays a central role to take me on.  All that I need to focus is what do I really want.  Wherever my heart is, I will find the appropriate value for me, by me. Life is constantly evolving.  It changes and developed into another form over time.  Life is as simple as ABC and it is the  A-wareness B-efore C-hange that sets the tone.  Awareness is the big key for change to be efficient and effective.  When there is awareness, the process of life becomes better and everything around me becomes better too. Life attracts life.  I have to watch my thoughts.  I have to listen to my words.  I have to observe my deeds.  I have to be aware of my actions.  I should have good judgement on my reactions.    When I want something, all in the Universe co...

When my mind is foggy and I am riddled with indecision, the day will not end up making me feeling good.  Without mental clarity, it is hard to make choices that can get me to where I want to be.  Without it, I feel aimless and it is easy to feel lost constantly. Mental clarity is indeed and important part of keeping my life in balance.  It helps me to maintain my focus and a clear state of mind.  When I have mental clarity, my mind shall not be clouded with indecision, with all the what-ifs.  Nor would I be overwhelmed and getting worry unnecessarily. When my mind is clear, I can see life better.  It helps me to find focus and direction.  I will be able to accept situations as my mind knows that I am able to handle them.  With a clear mind, I don't get to worry what could go wrong. I have to feed my mind for my mind to feed my thought process.  With a good thought process, I appreciate my life.  I will get to see how blessed I can be....

When I think that I am constantly right, I am lacking a sophisticated divine mind.  When I believe that I am perpetually good, I am fooling myself.  When I am filled with pride, then I have no room for wisdom. Which side of my mind, or my heart, do I normally swayed?  Have I been neutral at all times? There is a thin line between being humble and acting with arrogance.  It is not easy to recognize between the acts of love and imposing on someone.  Pride and foolishness walk together, almost in perfect conspiracy. I have to find ways towards a heart-mind balance.  I have to handle the various elements in my life and not to feel that my heart and mind are being pulled hard in any direction. My mind is always challenging myself intellectually verses creating opportunities for my mind to rest. My heart has to be in full clarity between giving love verses receiving love. There has to be a balance between these two spectrums.  Both ends of each spectrum are ...
