The Blessed Life

All roads lead to Rome, so it says.  It is kinda apt for that to life.  That, eventually at the end of the road, I shall return home to where I come from.  No matter what I do, while on the road, I will inevitably end up where I started. Regardless the various routes each man takes, every Man ends up at one destination.  Questions that I should ask myself - How do I want to make my destination meaningful?  What can I do to make my overall journey pleasant?  Where and when should I do a stop over to re-think whether I am travelling right?  Do I want to take a break in between to procrastinate? While on the road, I have to be mindful.  I have to embrace life's uncertainties and take a few risks.  I want to inject lots of joy.  I want to embrace every single beauty of mother nature.  I want to respect and be kind to all other 'road users'.  These roads that I am travelling on are not exclusively mine.  What's mine is the mode...

All humans are born to love each other.  Unfortunately, it's the survival mentality that makes humans be guarded and reserved not to openly give love away or receive it in return.  That makes humans to lose joy.  This mindset blinds me from seeing the beauty with our co-existence. Sadly, what I do not realize is the subtle unconscious act of sizing up where the minds assess the individuals.  It makes the mind to cave in before I could treat another with love and respect.  I become apprehensive and it will fail me from getting myself to be open minded. I have to learn to have an open mind and open heart interacting with others.  I have to interact from the soul and not the thinking mind.  The thinking mind is vulnerable to judgement but not the soul.  Should I am able to interact from my soul, I will not get trapped with humans' control dramas. This awareness, where I live by my soul, will free me.  I will not get intimidated and I will not ge...

Life is a boomerang.  Whatever I send out, comes back to me.  It is non-negotiable.  Life is structured as such.  It is a circle in the sand where actions beget reactions  All thoughts, good and bad, come back to me ten times or more.  Worse is when the intention is to badly harm another - the repercussion affects the whole generation. When I send love out, love is returned.  When I send out good thoughts, the universe reciprocates to fill it with blessings.  When I send hate out, there shall be no peace within.  When I wish misfortune upon someone, the door of abundance will be completely shut off. What good do I get should I criticize, judge, loathe and swear others?  I have to remember that others are mirror of who I am.  What I see in others, exists in me.  It is a reality I have to be aware of. I have to live to render goodness.  Giving out what I most want, comes back to me better than I imagine.  It is importan...

Today I am empowering a beautiful message that's full of wisdom, written by an unknown author. "Even though some people are more reluctant to admit it than others, we all have to admit that we take people for granted.  We get so used to having all those reliable people around to pick up the pieces, that we forget to notice how much they actually help us, how much attention they pay to our needs and how much they care about us. Relationships seem to sit very comfortably, yet it's a shame how we only seem to notice how comfortable they really are, when we've lost them.  If there is one thing that you should aim to do in your life, it's to not take people for granted because one day when everything is falling apart, those people who were always there before, might not stick around to be there again. If you have someone who understands you, who is patient with you, who loves you genuinely, who cares about you, who respects you, who is proud of you, who doesn't take...

Life is meant to be a journey of honouring chances.  When I get the opportunity, that one chance to change my life, I have to take it.  It is this one chance that can change the course of my life to start whatever mark I am going to make.  I have to do whatever I can, wherever I can, for as long as I can. It is wise that I act on chances, even though I may make some mistakes.  That is how I grow.  Any mistakes I make nourish my courage.  Failure is a practice for me to be brave.  It cultivates my mental and emotional clarity. The Universe works systematically, in order.  When I am not going to take the opportunity that is presented, I let it slip through my fingers.  When it slips, it does not mean that I will not be getting to experience the chance again.   But, at that golden moment, the opportunity shifts to someone else and I have to wait for my turn all over again.  It is how the Universe works and it may take a long time ...

So I pray and keep on praying but what I prayed for is slow to materialize.  Is there something that is not right?  Is what I am asking for far too much?  Do I have to do something bigger to have my prayers answered? Desperation will leave me miserable.  All acts of desperation make me hopeless.  It will not make me happy.  Yet I cling on to this hopeless sense.  I should learn not to let desperate situations make me do desperate things. Certainly all prayers are answered.  It is how I interpret the answers to be.  Very often it is my expectation that makes me not to see them clearly.  Very often I am not seeing the truth when the truth is right in front of me. God gives and He provides.  Everything has a time for it.  There are always reasons why I feel my prayers are not answered.  The biggest reason is my attitude towards receiving.  How much do I appreciate the little little things?  Could I recognize the lit...

What will be of this world should I, and every beings, give gratitude constantly?  That I can give thanks to everything, whether tangible or intangible.  From benefitting the green earth to having awareness on worldly knowledge.   From love to joy.  From the food I eat to the stove and to the people who prepare them.  From nothing to something. Being thankful helps me to bond with life.  It lifts my spirit and leads me to have better relationship with everything around me.  It makes me happier.  It gives me heightened meaning to acknowledge the goodness in my life.  It makes me to appreciate at all kinds of creations. When I give thanks, and be thankful even at the smallest thing, I tame my mind to connect to something larger.  I am teaching my life to embrace gratefulness, whether to other people, nature or a higher power.  I am instilling positive emotions to improve my well being, to deal with adversity and to build strong r...

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...
