The Blessed Life

Somewhere along a life's journey, the feeling of fear can become an ongoing part of life.  It is an emotion where humans are not quite capable to bury such feeling completely.  The feeling comes and goes but yet, sometimes, it becomes trapped inside one's emotion. What actually happened that such a feeling becomes second nature?  What happened to life that takes away the feeling of excitement for what tomorrow holds? Fear is a common energy that runs through in life.  The fear of failure, the fear of rejection or fear that I am just not good enough.  I live in a world where I am told that only the fittest survives.  With such theory, it is a natural response to become fearful at any stage in life. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.  How I spend my time and with whom I spend it can reduce or heighten fear.  I have to build faith and trust and be mindful with what I allow to dwell in my mind. It is important that I recognize that life does not...

When I think of blue, Ice Blue, I am thinking of the sky and the sea.  It is a colour associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition and expansiveness.  It also represents a colour of life that is full of depth, of trust, of loyalty, of sincerity and faith. When I want to be healthy, it is good to let my cellular consciousness be as cool as ice blue.  The ice blue in all my cells will calm the stress of life.  It shall make me to be peaceful and serene to function. The icy blue gives me a feeling of magnificent and transcendental.  It is a feeling that is hard to describe.  It is vibrational colour full of joy and of divine protection.  When I allow ice blue to grow within me, I am cleansing myself constantly. The more my mind, my body, my spirit is cleansed, there shall be good health.  With good health, there will be happiness.  There will be peace.  There will be fulfillment and satisfaction.  There will be courage to live for m...

Let's be alive and let everyday be a good day for a good day.  Let each one of us learn from each other.  A selfish heart is an ever-consuming desert.  No matter how much water it gets, it still wants more.  Whereas, an unselfish heart is an ever-giving ocean.  No matter how much water it draws, it still has plenty to give. Be kind.  Be good.  Give love.  Happiness grows when there is kindness, there is goodness and there is love.  Happiness is always there.  I just have to choose to see it.  There is no point dwelling in the dark and ignoring the light of the stars. The things I do for myself are gone when I am gone.  But, the things I do for others can remain as loving memories.  When I am thankful to be alive, I should be grateful that I have others that I can live with.  When I can treasure life, it makes the world I live in a better place. I am a part of the whole big thing.  My true nationality is humankind...

Life is a journey where I have met many souls along my way.  From my Kampong Days to Schools and to colleagues from various Corporations.  And then there are the social acquaintances, friends and more friends.  At the same time, my family gets bigger with new members over the years. There are many that I have lost contacts with.  There are those whom I still have vivid memories.  And, there are handful that are still walking along with my journey.  I am sure I will meet new souls till the end of my time. Our lives cross for many reasons.  Definitely, our interactions are to bring meaning and purpose to our lives.  There are no coincidences but rich lessons on values shared.  We are teaching each other to learn to live.  We are supporting each other to grow to be human. For all that is shared, I will be forever grateful.  I may not have said it out loud nor I have shown it but I am thankful for every pieces of experiences shared....

My thoughts are with those who have crossed over.  Thank you for sharing your lives with me.  Thank you for the opportunities where I am made to learn from our shared moments.  Surely, the times we spent together must have meanings, big and small. While we were together, we may never fully solve the greatest of all mysteries.  We may not fully fathom our shared journeys.  But they will continue long after we die, in another dimension and in another time. I love you and will always love all of you.  I may not feel you, or hear you, but I am certain you are always around.  You are not earth bound and your love, which has taken new signification and magnitude, allows you to be with me always. You tell me that all of you are safe.  There is nothing to worry and you do not want me to worry.  You want me to live.  You want me to be happy. As my thoughts are with them today, I reach out to the Divinity's Hand and humbly ask for forgiveness on t...

Why procrastinate?  Why wait?  Why not now? Should I wait for a better time, I am not embracing living in the present.  At that instant, my life is on the snooze button.  And, when I keep snoozing, life is at a standstill and there shall be no progress.  The reason only the present matters is that everything happens here and now. Do I have to wait until I become rich to help somebody?  Do I wait until I feel better to be kind to another?  Do I postpone to finish a task because tomorrow will be a better day? Nothing is guaranteed and there is no perfect opportunity.  I have to create and nurture the present moment.  I have to ask myself this question - 'What is the decision that I need to be making that I am not making now?' I should not put off doing things when I want them to happen.  I have to be a Doer and not so much a Thinker.  There must be a balance between these two.  Yes, thinking is crucial and important but too much ...

I can run, I can hide but I can never run and hide forever.  When I can accept that, I will accept the story of life.  I will never get to guess the exact date and time, but I will meet the end of the road one day.  Where my run runs out and there is no other place to hide. So here I am with a choice.  What do I want to do today?  Why I need to do it?  Where shall I find the ways to make life meaningful?  How consciously do I want to live till I am at the finished line? It is natural to wonder how best to live but do I know what constitutes a good or bad life?  I have to make sense with any of my preferred ways.  I should not simply follow the crowd and I should not complicate my choices.  Life is easy and I must not make it difficult. How should I live and how I do live are not necessarily the same.  A good life is a condition in which the soul will be the most happy.  It is a state in which the soul shall live with total virt...

A good cake, a tasty dish, a clean house or a good life calls for consistency.  There has to be a constant agreeing balance of ingredients, of substance, of energy.  Every little consideration is to give for a sense of perfection.   Along with it, there has to be enough component of 'I mean it' to make the end result well presented. Such is life.  Whatever that I say, whatever I do, whatever I share, whatever I promise must be consistent.  There has to be consistency in what I do and I have to mean it.  Being consistent, honest and upfront is valuable in life.  I should not act, do or say to make my ego looks good. I cannot be saying something for mere sake to be heard.  When I want to do something, I must make sure I finish it.  I should not share something when there is no full evidence of proof.  I have to avoid making promises when I lack the determination to carry them out. There has to be moral sense and sensibility.  How...

Today, I am looking from outside of me.  I wonder at the energy I am seeing that's stirring my emotion.  What is it all about?  Why do I feel this way?  It makes me to stop my activity and reach out for Divinity's hand. Yesterday, I was at the Community Club near me where there were senior citizens and the elderly waiting for the Covid-19 vaccination.  There were about 20 of them, 2 on wheelchair and all were seated with 1 metre safe distancing inside the big hall.  They sat quietly, in their own world, while waiting for their turns into the vaccination room. As I looked at them, my emotion stirred up.  I started to tear, without reasons.  It was not about these individuals but it was more of the ambience.  There was the energy of anxiety and also of the unknown.  But, what struck the most was the energy of faith, hope and trust in the air. I spent good 10 minutes soaking the energy.  I looked at their faces, the surroundings and al...

The word 'Thank you' is important.  To say it is divine.  It conveys my gratitude and my appreciation towards everything in life.  And, more than that, it is a sign of my sense of respect where I am blessed.  It is a word that makes me to increase in worth of my life, of God and whatever I deserve. The word 'Thank you' is also an indication where I do not take every happenings, in my life, for granted.  It is an expression where I must nurture to acknowledge my greatest appreciation, thankfulness and recognition of their worth. I have to begin each day with a grateful heart.  The moment I wake up, it is good that I say 'Thank you'.  'Thank you' for the good restful sleep, its benefits to my body and mind.  When I verbalize my gratitude, my cellular consciousness grows.  It makes me to have greater ability to focus. At the end of each day, likewise, I need to say 'Thank you'.  I have to feel gratitude for what the day has provided.  ...
