The Blessed Life

Sometimes when I have flashes of my loved ones whom have departed, I get into a repentance mode.  It makes me to pray harder, for them and for myself.  I humbly ask for forgiveness on their behalf and ask that they be cleansed, purified and released to the path of pure light. Their departure reminds me how vulnerable life is.  Their departure is telling me that I have to be in charge of my BEing.  That I have to live right by me and for me. Why do they leave before me?  What are my lessons to be left behind?  When I think that God loves them more, for them to be in a better place, I am happy with that thought.  To be with God is the happiest thing, in my opinion.  It is where the peace of body and mind, and the joy of the soul become one.  It is the ultimate home where all earthly sufferings ceased. Every time the flashes come, the lyrics of a song knock in my head.  'Do you know where you're going to?  Do you like the things that l...

To all the people that know me, please accept my love and gratitude.  I am glad that I get to walk my life with you.  Every minute counts and I am happy I get to learn from each one of you.   Through our interactions, I feel blessed to have acquired life lessons from our shared moments.  These lessons have shaped my life.  They are the gems that build my consciousness. Everything we share is much appreciated.  Yes, the simplest thing is still a good thing.  It is the little details that are vital to make big things happen.  It can be just a smile, a simple 'how are you doing?' or a 'Good Morning' message.  These kind gestures elevate my spirit many folds.  They are priceless. You and I are members of a vast cosmic orchestra.  Your presence, passing through my life, is the living instrument that is essential to my existence.  Your presence helps me to understand on the purpose of life.   In your own uniqueness, yo...

To be aware is a conscious effort.  It is the consciousness of being sensitive to everything around.  When I can make myself to be aware, I have a direct knowing of what is going on inside and outside of me, moment by moment. But - Is there a need to be aware at all times?  What is the benefit?  What can go wrong when there is no, or little, awareness? Awareness is about appreciation.  It is an active participative humane task towards life.  It is an act of being proactive with the Universe.  Becoming more aware is a conspiracy of love on human existing.  And, it brings humans closer to the source of creation. Awareness is an important quality.  It opens all the senses in the body.  It makes one to understand his/her strengths and weaknesses, personality and motivation.  Awareness deepens the knowledge of love, of peace and of quality humans relations.   I have to develop an insight to heighten my awareness.  To be unaware...

I am eyeing for the good final prize.  The final prize which is awarded to me at the end of my journey on Mother Earth. I want it to be good, to be something that I can be delighted at.  Of something to elevate my vibrations higher.   To achieve it, I have to encourage and motivate with the right ways to live each day.  I have to make sure the cup of my life is constantly full. But, what is the final prize?  And, what is cup of life?   Final prize is the sum total of all the good things I do for myself.  It is said 'You can't pour from an empty cup'.  This is to tell me I have to take care of myself before I can take care of others.  I need to take care of my emotional, mental, physical and spiritual beings to be filled with love and not to let them be drained and exhausted. When my cup is empty, I lack the love for life.  This feeling will not make me to see the beauty life is to offer.  It will not inspire nor give me the ins...

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...
