The Blessed Life

There can be many 'pit stops' in life.  Occasionally, there are days when I am at a T-Junction, facing with T-Junction of choices.  Here, it requires me to make a decision.  It wants me to choose.  At this point, I may face with hard choices - choices where they require for demanding solutions. I can choose not to do anything.  Just to sit back and pause to enjoy where I am at.  But, that is not usually the case at a crossroad in life.  Life's plans are not always tied up in neat little packages.  At a T-Junction, a decision has to be made so that I will not stall with the ongoing traffic of life. Or, I can choose to go to the right or to the left.  I pray I have the wisdom to choose correctly.  Whatever the decision is, it has to make me comfortable.  I am the driver of my future.  It has to bring joy and happiness.  It will be good should the decision bring peace to my mind and clarity to move forward. As I take a stand ...

Should I want to engage conversation with another person, I have to exercise respect.  Respect helps individuals to feel safe.  It bonds a soul with another.  It brightens humans' divine flame.   Respect makes any expression and interaction beautiful.  When there is respect, it will make the conversation meaningful. Should I am going to judge that person, it is better that I take the silence pill.  Should I am not going to listen with respect, it is best to stay away from making the conversation.  When there is no respect, relationship is ruined.  It is good to make peace rather than creating unpleasantries.  Life is too fragile and short and I should focus on bringing something good out of life. Do I have to win in any conversation?  Is there a need to impose my beliefs?  Is it an utmost important that I make myself to look good, to look smart and intelligent?  What do I gain to induce conflicts? My physical life is tempo...

I should not take life's struggle to be a form of punishment.  Nor should I see it as a suffering.  There is a purpose to it.  Struggle is what gives me meaning.  It makes me human.  It shines light into my life, prepares me to be ready for the next step, where I am to discover my better side. To go through struggle is necessary for my growth and inward development.  Strength comes from struggle.  It teaches me the important skills in life.  It makes me to solve problems.  It encourages me to be persistent and self regulated.  It also fosters confidence, realizing on empathy and instills growth mindset. There is a silver lining in struggle.  Behind its painful existence lies a purpose waiting to unfold.  Everything in life, the good and the bad, is an experience to help me to see my journey.  It is to light up my life for better meaning.  It is a practical guide to wake me up in life. The biggest hindrance faced durin...

Ups and downs in life are very common.  Ironically, they make life even more interesting.  The experiences keep me going.  Life is not measured by the breaths that I take but by the moments that take my breaths away. Life would not be life without the ups and downs.  It takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.  I have to choose which side I want to focus more.  The one that does not benefit me must be discarded completely.   I should guard my thought process.  What I focus on will grow.  It is how energy works.  What I think becomes.  When I want my life to be positive, I should focus on the positive.   I must let go what I do not want.  I should not fear myself with negative information or stories.  I should not spread negative news that have no base, no validity but only hearsay. To nurture negativity will draw my life towards it.  I must not let negativit...

Annoyance, displeasure, irritation - these are natural angry feelings .  As a human, I live by them.  There are many common triggers for these feelings to happen.  They can stem from losing patience or from a feeling that an opinion or a sharing is not appreciated.  Or, it can also be from past memories of traumatic and enraging events. Obviously, these feelings are not healthy.  These feelings left unchecked with excessive anger can cause serious problems.  They cause stress, anxiety and depression and more.  It will do me good should I know how much they live inside me.  I need to accept that I am not completely free from them.  It is my responsibility where I should take charge to manage these anger issues. When I live with these feelings constantly, my soul suffers.  My emotional, physical, mental and spiritual bodies take their toll.  And so are the people around me.  I create disharmony to my relationship with them. ...

I have to do what makes me happy every day.  When my days are happy, everything else will fall into place.  I have to dedicate myself to living every day to the fullest.  When I do that, I will get the feeling that I can do anything, overcome anything. Living life to the fullest means I am in tune with myself.  This allows me to make conscious decisions that directly affect me.  To live a full life each day, it involves taking full advantage of every opportunities that greet me. When I feel I want to do something, I need to honour it.  I should not push it away to another day, another time.  I have to make each opportunity a masterpiece.  I have to let each day be blessed.  It is foolish should I let opportunity and time to slip away as I might not get the chance again. I have to be involved with life.  I have to have an idea of what kinds of thoughts and feelings that make my day better.  It is good to live every day on a fresh new...

The mind is a super magnet and spongy too.  It attracts and absorbs everything.  Whatever I hold in my mind will tend to occur in my life.  When I keep to believe, I will get what has been manifested in my mind.  When I think everything is good, then everything will be good.  When I think I can do it, I will be able to do it.  When I think I cannot, all else become hard to achieve. The first place where I gain or lose in life is in my own thinking.  It is not who I am that hold anything back but it is what I think is.  Should I want different results in my life, all I have to do is to change my mindset.  Positivity attracts good beautiful things.  A negative mind will never give a positive life. Staying positive helps but the mind needs to co-operate.  The mind has to be one with the emotional heart.  The mind reflects the heart and the heart reflects the mind.  When there is love in the mind, love shall be in the heart....

I yearn for good ways to live my life.  I wish every day is a good day for a good day.  I want to be more than happy, to be in bliss and let my life be flooded with peace.  Everything I hope for will come naturally without too much hard efforts.  When I am happy, my world celebrates with me including everyone that I love. I believe everything is possible in life.  The Universe is full of abundance, it has a lot of good things.  I am a part of them.  What is separating me from achieving them is my mindset.   When I think I do not deserve them, these good things shun away from me.  They will be put on hold till I am more ready to receive them.  She does so out of love for me.  She will not hand things when I am filled with hesitation, so as not to put a burden me. The Universe needs my appreciation.  It is important I recognize what gratitude is, even for the tiniest thing.  When she feels I can honour her majestic pres...

What am I learning?  What is the aim of my learning? The whole of life, from the moment I am born to the moment that I die, I will always be learning.  There will always be something new, something discovered and something produced.  While the lessons may feel, look and sound the same, they are different.   The hard truth - as much as I think that I know, I actually know nothing.  No one knows everything.  I am, as a human, only has a small piece of the big puzzle.  Just because I know a subject well does not mean I excel in all matters. Knowledge has to be improved and increased constantly.  Every experience, whether good or bad, ends up teaching me something I can use going forward.  Life lessons keep refreshing in many forms.  What is important is not the quantity of knowledge but its quality.   Whether I am a child or a parent and whether I am a student or a teacher, there shall be no difference - it is just a label of authority...

While my mind, conditionally, needs to analyze, evaluate and think through to do something, my heart must have the willingness to carry it out.  It is the mind that doubts and it is the heart that reacts with faith.  Willingness is key to help me to get on in life. Sitting on the fence too much will not get things done.  There will be no result but compounded feelings of uncertainty and lack of conviction.  Procrastination is a bad habit and so is entertaining with the endless thoughts of what-ifs.   They cause stress and anxiety.  Eventually, they cause negative feelings and these feelings can have a bad effect on mental health. While life requires faith, it is good to let go and let God.  Everything in life is not guaranteed, except death.  Too much thinking will put heavy burdens on life.  Thinking is a burden in itself.  I need to have more shear power on my beliefs and to avoid to think too much all the time. I have to build co...
