The Blessed Life

Yes, I do miss those who have gone before me.  So long I am alive, I will continue to miss them.  What they leave behind are beautiful treasured moments.  All the memories bring back more memories.  I am hanging on to them as they make me to cherish what's love is all about.   They are gone because God loves them, more than I do.  Oh God, I humbly ask for forgiveness on their behalf and ask that they be cleansed, purified and released to the path of pure light.  May their souls rest in peace. While I may not completely know the exact divine reason, their departure is about my life lessons.  I must learn from their death, for the secret of life is hidden in it.  Is it about acceptance?  Is it about the worth for life?  Is it about treasuring relationship? The most important lesson is that my life goes on.  While it will never be the same, I should not let what's inside me to die.   I have to remember them by showing kindnes...

I am allowed to be angry, to be mad with how I get treated or made me to feel hurt.  But, in fairness, the anger has to do with me too.  I may not agree, still the coin has two sides.  I live in a world of duality.  I am not, and cannot be, completely innocence.  I have to look inside it and, hopefully, to realize at my own shortcomings. While I work to understand the situation, it is important to stay conscious.  I have to be neutral between the emotion and the lessons.  It is important I forgive myself and the situation too.  I have to recognize its ill impact on my well being.   Should I allow anger to blow, I will not be able to have joy.  The feeling of anger is one alphabet away from a state of D-anger. Anger can make me to lose Love.  It can make my life to be indifferent with everything around me.  Worst, it makes me to be filled with hatred.  Should this happen, I break away on fulfilling with the meaning on ...

  When I sit and keep analyzing on the way I live everyday, I loose the joy of living life.  When I sit and just wait for things to happen the way I want them, I negate on my expectations.   Most time, I wish there is something to happen to make things different.  But doing that, I forget that I have to take charge in life for things to happen.  Life is As Is and it has to be led to make it meaningful. While it is true that "we are born to die someday", the duration in between birth and death is life.  This is a divine gift to be championed, in every good possible ways.  This is the one chance, as humans, to find purpose.  The journey in life is about learning to become more of who I am and to fulfill the highest, truest expression of myself as a human being.   Nonetheless, there is the Law of Gestation that puts life on hold.  That, before the trees can bear the fruits, there is the period of waiting in between.  Does the wait...

It is said 'doing your best is more important than being the best'.  That is, indeed, the ideal spirit on being alive.  When I do my best, I am trying to give meaning to the tasks I am doing.  I am taking them seriously, giving them my best, and to add value. I should not be doing something with the intention to make myself be the best.  My tasks should not be a competition and so is my life.  I have to do things out of love and not about promoting my being, of who I am.  To make myself be the best, from any tasks, is akin to me running a race in life. Doing the best is living out each and every moment to its fullest potential.  When doing the best, there is a boost in courage and confidence.  Doing the best is not about meeting expectations or achievements.  It is not about success or failure. When I am doing my best, I am putting all my energy into whatever life situations I am experiencing.  I am embracing every chance at life so that...

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...
