The Blessed Life

Thank you for this meaningful quote, Ms Lily Amis (An author) - 'You go nowhere in this world if you think you are better than everyone else.  Always stay humble, child, regardless of what you achieve in your life'. A downfall in life is when I dismiss not to be humble.  When I disregard humility.  Worse, when I am full of pompous attitude and not grounded.   I have to remember where I come from.  I have to remember my roots and all the struggles I go through.  I come from nothing and while I may think that I have succeeded, success is always temporary.   There will always be many hills to climb on my journey in life, in all ways of living.  I am not more important than many others.  Every human is equally valuable, with success or otherwise.  I am not always right and that I do not have all the answers. As a human, I have this primal instinct wanting for approval and seeking acceptance from others.  It is done whether I am consciou...

When I take charge to care for my well being, I have to take conscious effort to be kind to myself.  I should know the extent of my boundaries and limits.  I must not make the stress of life any worse than it already is.  While limiting myself can affect productivity and I will not get to know how far I can go, I need to find a balance. A big part of self care is to learn how to cope with difficult situations.  It is important that I draw the line between myself and what are peoples' expectations of me.  I have to be aware of my strengths and my weaknesses.  It is wise that I know how much I am capable to cope and the distance I can handle. When I do not know my boundaries and limits, I will not be doing justice to my body and mind.  I have to define what exactly is too far or too much for me in order to know how much I can achieve.  Without knowing it, it may negatively impact my health. Nonetheless, I should not limit myself forever.  There...

Should I want to empower myself, and be a good human, I must learn not to give any excuses.  I should avoid using excuses for my anger, my disappointment, my frustrations and why I am not getting what I am looking for.  There is no 'outside' reason why things fail other than my own doing. All things start from within me.  I am the captain of my life, steering at the wheel.  When I do not take full responsibility and keep pointing fingers at others, or giving more and more excuses, I am not pleasing my soul.  To make excuses for my difficulties or failures reflects badly on my well BEing. Yesterday, when I was in the queue to get inside a supermarket, a lady had problem with her #TraceTogether token.  It resulted the queue to get longer.  It made some people frustrated, including me.  More than five minutes gone by and she was told by the Safe Entry Ambassador that the battery of her token had gone flat.  She looked at the queue and apologized...

Besides taking care of myself, it will be of great significance I take charge of my life too.  I have to take care of my well being so I can function.  And, the idea to take charge of my life forces me to assume responsibility for my well being.  It is where I am taking control for every aspects of my life. When I take charge, I live my life the way I want it to be.  It shall be right by me and for me where I am comfortable in my own skin.  I do not become what others want me to be but to live by the aspirations of my soul.  I will be the captain of my destiny where I manage my priorities in a mindful manner. It is important for me to take charge of my own life.  My safety, my happiness, my joy and all my success rely on me alone.  It is my sole responsibility to fulfill what I am supposed to be.   Others can lend their hands but when I do not have the confident and the courage, nothing is achievable.  Confidence puts me through cha...

All throughout my life, I have been told to be good and to do good.  My loving parents often reminded me to do that when I was growing up.  So were my elders, my teachers, my friends and almost everyone in my social groups.  Be good, do good is what I should be doing, no questions asked. When I am good with life, life will be good to me in return.  It is the law of cause and effect.  The more I engage with meaningful life, it will provide me with a happy and fulfilling life.  Purposeful life requires me to be patience, to be kind, to be loving and to think wisely for the long term. Be good, do good is a life with purpose so that I can feel good.  It is a life where I make the most of everything in any kinds of situation.  I have to know I can never please all men.  But, when I can be a blessing even to one human being, it shall be good enough. Every day grants me opportunities to do good.  God helps me when I help others.  I have to...

Anger and hurt are two different things.  I can be angry but not hurt.  Likewise, I am hurt, yet I am not angry.  While both emotions cause degrees of distress, they breed resentment.  It is the hurt feeling that gives rise to anger. I am no saint.  Anger and hurt are what I have created. I have hurt people and make them angry too.  I am not perfect and I make many mistakes.  I say stupid things.  I annoy people and piss them off.   All these bad habits have made me to hurt others.  Often I am too arrogant, I have too much ego.  I need to properly see myself so that I see what bad things I have done, not only for myself but others too.  It is a painful sight to see anyone who gets hurt and be angry thereafter.   I have to learn not to cross the boundary to cause more pain.  I have to be mindful of my thoughts.  I should have been more sensitive and thoughtful.  I should be more human.  I should not put ...

Every moment of my life is without limit.  And so is the Universe with her endless bountiful.  I can ask her for anything and I just need to know how.  All I need is to put forth a clear enough request and everything my heart desires shall come to me.  I must not let my mind to trick me to limit things in life. It is said those who have less have asked for less.  And, those who have more have asked for more.  The Universe works with the law of attractions and vibrations that is linked with my unconscious mind.  The unconscious mind is where imagination lives.  It is where manifestation takes place. Asking for something from the Universe can happen.  It starts with a believe and, importantly, a want and a why.  In order for the Universe to provide for me, I need to know what I want and why I want it.  There has to be a degree, or sense, of certainty on what I actually want. At the same time, I need to let go any feelings of desperati...

The day I connected with my Inner Child, years back, my soul spoke.  For the longest time, I abandoned my Inner Child that let me to live rather a clueless journey.  Then, I used to feel of an unfamiliar emotion inside of me.   I used to wonder why did I have an emotional sense that I had a bleeding heart.  Why, when I was always laughing, felt loved and life was good, I felt something was amiss. Moving forward, the reunion with my Inner Child changes the psyche of my being.  It makes me to understand the buried emotional issues.  My Inner Child let me to go deep into inner works and transforms the ways of my life.  Like me, he has been longing to re-connect.  I have to be the one to initiate it. The conviction to walk with my Inner Child, for the rest of my journey, needs to happen.  It is happening.  It will do me good to return home with him, reunited and as one.  My Inner Child needs to feel that I am serious.  He need...

Peace is a state I want to attain.  Not only for myself, but for my loved ones and for the world I live in.  I am in love with peace.  I want it and I need it.  It has to live inside me as well as outside of me.   I genuinely wonder how lives can be when humanity lives in one truly peaceful world, with only love among us? Why is peace so important to me?  Peace gives me tranquillity.  It comes from the comfort in knowing that I have a roof over my head, food to eat and surrounded with loving family members and friends.   When I am with peace, there is a presence of good health, serenity, happiness, harmony and safety. Peace gives me great solace.  It helps me to be optimistic with everything that is happening with me, the good and those that are not so good.  To be at peace is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become.   It drives me to accept with everything and expect nothing, even though I may grumb...

My life is either a daring adventure or nothing.  I am not here to survive but I am here to find my freedom.  I am here to push all boundaries and to be the human I am supposed to be. I have to know life in its full multi dimension.  To know life in its richness and in all its varieties.  I am here to make things right and to find wisdom in my thoughts, words, deeds and actions. I should not just think but be proactive.  I should free myself from the burden of too much analyzing and thinking.  Too much analyzing can be paralyzing.   I am here to understand about responsibility.  To own the responsibility for anything and everything that is happening to me.  I must own all that I think, all that I say, all that I do and for all of my actions. I am here to become conscious with all that is happening around me.  I am here to find meaning and to understand my purpose.  I am here to undertake the tasks and finish them. I am here to find ...
