The Blessed Life

To be in love with myself is not self indulgent.  It should not be seen that way nor it is a cheesy thing.  Learning to love myself is a powerful and important thing I can do in life.  My soul is the driving force and when he becomes the source of love in my life, everything changes. It will be a happy life, it will be filled with peace.  That is exactly what happened when I start to love myself.  My world, my relationship with others, my dreams, my health, they all flourish.  The Universe will celebrate my existence and I shall move along according to my energetic vibrations - like attracts like. I have to create the Me time daily, the more the better.  It will be my sacred moments.  I have to be positive, be an energy giver and not otherwise.  The Irish poet, Oscar Wilde once said, "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance".  Do I want to start the romance?  How shall I learn to love myself? The Covid pandemic teache...

I trust that the little gentleness I give will bear many fruits.  I trust that all my little prayers I make are heard.  I trust on walking this unknown unscripted journey.  I trust, in full recognition, that it is for good. 'Trust' is a calling from within.  It is no longer about looking for inspiration but of a spiritual conviction.  It requires a leap of faith. Above all, I must trust that God has never abandoned me.   Above all, I must trust that God will never give me anything that I cannot handle. To live I must have faith. Yes! it is the 'must' that sets the tone.        I must make myself a vessel, an empty vessel that is ready to receive.  I must make myself an instrument, a useful instrument for all the divine works.  I must brighten my light, the divine spark that is luminating within me.   I must nurture the seeds of faith, the love seeds within me that propel life in motion.  I must feel and recognize...

Differences arise when I cannot make peace with the opinions of others.  When I cannot agree to disagree.  When my ego keeps telling me that I have to be right, and not them.  Where my self righteous attitude demands that I am better, and not them. I need to learn the art of making a compromise.  Harmony has to be, foremost, in my heart and it has to be the way I should live my life.  I need to learn that my intellect is actually limited and not to let my arrogance run free.   I have to know there is no right and there is no wrong.  It is just my opinion verses someone else's opinion. How I deliver that opinion could make the difference.  All ideas are just ideas and I should not discard ideas as 'bad'.  Idea is an inspiration and it has the element of no right or wrong.  Idea is only a different path to open the mind.  It is an innovation, a consideration, as a guide to make things better. What I think is right is not the same...

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. ...
