The Blessed Life

Should I want to achieve anything of value and meaning in life, I need to be consistent.  To succeed, there should be a desire to keep a constant momentum.  Being consistent is the difference between failure and success.  When I take any tasks lightly, there's a chance that I will simply give up half way.  Worse, I am losing myself on my own evolution and purpose of life. I have to be consistent in my endeavours.  There has to be conviction to gain greater insights and understandings.  The push has to come from within me, nobody else will be able to do it for me.   Like Rumi says 'It is your road and yours alone.  Others may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you'.  There is a feeling of inner peace and joy when there is constant purpose of doing things consistently. Consistency is an act of courage.  The courage to persevere and the bravery to know that things work.  It is about being regular and steady.  I have ...

I should not hang around with people who make me not who I am.  I should live for who I am and not by what others want me to be.  Pretending to be will only hurt my soul.  I should not mix around for the mere sake of appearing to be popular.  It is better to be authentic rather than about being good.  I have to be who I am.  I have to be where happiness is. But, before I get to know where I should be, I have to know what I want to be.  And, before I get to know what I want to be, I have to have the identity of who I am. Who am I?  Am I just this body?  Am I a label of my name?  Of my status?  Of my achievements and experiences?  Of what I have and what I do not?  What is my Self Identity?  Is there more to me than my physical image? When I introduce myself to others, how do I let them know who I am?  I can describe myself with my name, my occupation and my interests.  But they are all the physical aspects of...

The mind can be a friend or an enemy.  Very often, the mind relies on the past to predict for the future.  While the past is a good gauge to safeguard on my well being, it can also stop me from progressing.   As a human, I hinder my own growth by over thinking.  Sadly, the mind often tends to form an idea about something before it really knows much about it too. I have to look forward and not to be stuck in my past.  I have to dream big, the bigger the better.  When I set my goals higher and should they fail, I will fail not at the very bottom.  Aiming high gives me better results. I should not downgrade my dream to fit my reality.  Instead, I have to upgrade my conviction to match my destiny.  It is such conviction that motivates and pushes me to success.  When there is such a conviction, it accelerates my ability and builds bigger courage to handle all kinds of challenges in life. There is nothing wrong to think big.  When my...

The Universe sees all things as golden opportunities.  Everything she has, everything she offers, they are meant to make all lives better.  Everybody deserves and nobody is left behind.   She, who walks with the Divine, continually showers all lives with fullness.  Those who ask shall receive.  Those who have less have asked for less. It is my mind that consents to receive them to a greater or lesser extent.  In purely spiritual matters, Divinity grants all desires.  Divinity fills all wants.  It is me who is not able to fully comprehend on the gift of receiving.  The gift of receiving creates intimacy and expands consciousness. I have to receive everything with faith, with love and with joy.  Knowing it is an attitude.  I should not be receiving with doubts.  Doubts will sabotage the outcomes.  Doubts stem from past negative experiences and they will not give the clarity on where I want to go next. I have to choose....

Growing old is natural.  One cannot avoid it.  I should not be ashamed that I am getting old.  It is important to accept on the sequence of predictable process of life.  There is nothing to fear.  It shall be wise that I have the right attitude to face reality. For me to have quality golden years starts with the right mindset today.  Just like the computer, I have to start to defragment my thoughts and deleting unwanted files and data now.   I have to abandon all old beliefs, all old conditioning and programmings.  Should I not clean, delete and erase them, I will not get to live my golden years with better and mature perspectives. I should create a vision to see myself growing old gracefully.  More essentially, I have to teach my mind to accept changes and own them.  My mind has to keep finding meaningful activities continuously.  My mind has to stay sane.  My thought process should be reasonable and sensible. I want to l...

I believe it is good to be a Nowist.  When I am a Nowist, I live in the now.  The only way for me to function well, to stay sane and to be empowered is to function efficiently in the now.  What matters is now, not yesterday and not tomorrow. Being in the now makes me to be aware, and mindful, of what is happening at this very moment.  I shall not, and must not, be distracted by the process of continuously thinking on the past or to worry about the future.   My task is to ground myself in the here and now.  Here and now is the point between my past and the future. I have to comfort myself not to dwell on the past.  The past has left me and I can only use it to illustrate a point and to leave it behind.  Nothing really matters except what I do now in this instant of time. Tomorrow will be what I do today.  When I want tomorrow to be a better future, I have to start taking actions today.  I have to make today be the right day to love, ...

Should I feel that there is too much negativity in this world, I should do my best to make sure that I am not contributing to it further.  Instead, I should focus to look within me, correct all my errors, mistakes and wrong doings.   Instead, I should allow the divine flame to glow brighter and not to cause it to dim off. There is a divine flame within me and in all humans.  It is the flame that keeps my life going.  It is the flame that glows, brighter or dimmer, with every breaths.  It is the choice that I have to make, out from my free will.  When I want to give light to life or to others, I have to glow myself first. The brighter this flame is, the brighter my horizon, insight and world will be.  It will give me the light to see life positively.  The light lights up the flame of divinity and connects me with the divinity within. When my light grows, when the light lights brighter, my perception changes.  There will be amazing flow of...

I must learn to remember to focus only the good things.  When I live by the creed all things are good and everything is positive, it makes me healthy.  Negative things will instill the feelings of anger, anxiety, dissatisfaction, fear or hate.  It will not improve on the quality of my life. When I want to talk about negative thing, I have to make sure I have the solution to make it better.  I should not instigate or sh*t stirring.  Else, I am just as negative.  I should not harp on the negativity and not to make it bigger and worst. When I want to talk about someone, let me be a human and not to talk about his or her negativity.  Everyone has a story.  Everyone has the good side.   Should I talk about his or her negativity, aka bad mouthing, I have to ask myself 'Am I perfect?'.  Charles Dickens, a writer, wrote 'No one is useless in this world'. What good will it do to me should I am complaining forever?  Reality is, the happi...

I have to stay true to the decision I make.  When I am committed to it, I will be successful in achieving my goals.  Making a commitment involves dedicating myself to a cause.   It is a dedication where I am willing to be involved, to get involved.  However, I must also learn not to over commit.  I have to know my limitations. I should not say I will do something but not carrying it out.  I have to discipline myself to follow it through.  Lip service will hurt my character.  Should I want the Universe to work with me, I have to prove my sincerity, my commitment.   There is a huge difference between making excuses for not honouring a commitment I have made.  Commitment is an act and not a word. It shall do me good when I can stay committed to my decision.  It fosters mutual trust and strengthens relationships.  But, at the same time, I have to stay flexible in my approach too.  What is important is I stay true to ...

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...
