The Blessed Life

 Boy oh boy, it is sure a good feeling when I can blame others for my faults, for my mistakes.  It will make myself free from being seen as the bad guy.  The bad ones are them, not me.   My identity as the good guy has to stay in tact.  It has to serve my ego for the ego yearns to feel right at all times.  Yes, I have ego.  Don't you have it too? Shifting the blame saves me from explaining what is causing the problem.  The way of finding cause is to blame someone.  I do not have to defend myself nor will I be under attack.  My ego loves to think that I am not the problem, they are. Is this the way of life that I am proud off?  What good do I get when I am constantly putting others in bad light?  Why do I have to shift the blame and punish others?   Where is love, I wonder?  What happen to my conscience and do I have any? Enough is enough.   I have to stop the blame.  I need to learn to accept ...

We cannot give life more time.   We cannot turn back the time.   Once we miss it, it is gone forever.  To live truly on the essence of time and giving life more life, we need to embrace the life that is ours and not of someone else’s. Giving time more life involves making the most of the time we have. This should be the way we ought to live.  Should we are to love life, we should not waste time for time is what life is made up of. We need to make the effort to live.  We need to prioritize activities that bring us joy and fulfillment.  We need to live life graciously – it is good should we are to live it honestly too.  We need to treasure the time that is in our hands.  We should and must not take life for granted. We need to create quality time, as much we can.  We have to build good deeds and live by them.  It will do us good to be mindful and be present in the moment.  We have to find meaning...

  Thank you to you, Shannon L Alder (an author).  This piece of your inspirational quote often rings in my ear.  Constantly and consciously, I have to remind myself to be a human.  I have to understand what being human is.  I have to live as a human first before all my earthly identities.  I need tolerance be a creed in life. You said, 'Before you call yourself a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or any other theology, learn to be human first'.   Yes, religion matters.  It grounds me to embrace what is good and bad.  It makes me how to think, what to think.  Importantly, your quote makes me to realize about being tolerant with other humans from different walks of lives.  It reminds me to be willing to accept differences, be it in characters or beliefs, among us. Tolerance will bring relationships closer.  Humans have to live together, regardless of colours and most importantly, religion.  Why, in most cases, that rel...

     Dear You , Everything has an end.  Everything has a beginning.  It is the end of a year and a new beginning is about to happen. It has been one good year where our paths crossed.  Where you have made a presence in my life.  To teach me with something, to impart me the knowledge about life.  Without you, I will not have learned.  Without you, I will not have known on the facts, the information and the skills to go through the divine experience of what life encompasses. To this 👆🏻, from a soul to another, "I love you, love you, love you." It has been another year where our experiences bring us to agree and disagree.  Where my mistakes have to be owned and where my wrong-doings need to be acknowledged.  I am not perfect and so long I am called a human, without doubts, I make mistakes along the way.  I may have imposed my presence onto yours.  I may have inflicted pains.  And, I may have taken advantage. To this 👆...

 See, observe and watch how babies grow.  How these innocent souls try anything they will.  They are not afraid to venture.  They do not know what is failure and strive to make things work for them.  They make attempts to do practically all kinds of things.  They are free spirited. It is when the parents, and everybody else major around them, start to nurture and teach them that their utmost potentials get inhibited.  Fear is being introduced in their lives.  And so are the many rules and restrictions.  They grow according to what is told to them. All parents love their children.  They want the best for them.  Be known as, much of the children's values are those of their parents.  Children are influenced by the parents' likes and dislikes, the parents' principles, morals and standards. What I am today is the product of my upbringing.  At the critical period of development, at my young adulthood, I become almost like my par...

Perfect joy is in the little things.  Are we nourishing the little things in our lives?  Are we making the little things to spark joy?  Are we allowing them to spark the light and letting them, with gratitude, to burst with opportunities?  Or, are we taking all the little things to be unimportant?  Are little things too insignificant and they don’t matter?  Are they too inconsequential and too trivial?  It is often said we are not to be petty.  We are told not to fret over small stuffs.  We are frequently reminded to let go of things that are not important, in the grand scheme of life.  Essentially, life is better when we do not let life forces to focus on things that do not hold significant importance.  It is good to take the best and trash the rest.  While there is meaning to everything, not all things are meant for immediate actions.  Do not count the chickens before they are hatched....

  Forgiveness has to be done from deep within, with heavy feelings of regret and remorse.  It is not an act to get away or to sweep things under the carpet.  It is always easy to say ‘I am sorry and please forgive me’.  However, these words mean nothing when they are not sincerely meant. We have to be mindful on why we need to forgive.  Importantly, why is there a need to do it?  What is the purposeful purpose?  Can forgiveness erase the past, all the wrong deeds?  With forgiveness, will it make us a better person moving forward? Let us forgive ourselves every day.  Let us forgive others every day.  Let forgiveness be a norm every day.  Let us forgive to become a better human. Whether we are to forgive ourselves (and/or others), the mind needs to concede to the resolution.  The alignment is crucial to make things right.  The heart needs to internalize.  It must not be for the mind to take...

Forgiveness opens doors.  Forgiveness is for my growth and happiness.  It sets me to live in the present.  It aids healing and well being.  It frees my soul of any earthly burdens.  When I am healed, it brings unspoken peace that helps me to go on with the journey in life. I must not be ashamed to initiate 'I am sorry.  Please forgive me'.  When I can do that, I am accepting my flaws.  I am taking full responsibility on my actions and I have chosen not to push blame.   I am acknowledging that I am the problem and that I have a role in contributing it.  Everything in life has two sides.  One does not exist without the other. Yes, forgiveness is a choice.  Sometimes it is a difficult choice.  To resist to forgive is to consent my ego to control me.  I am drowning myself to live in anger, bitterness and rage.  Doing so, I am not empowering myself to be human, to be kind and compassionate to one another. It shal...

  Peace is something to live by and live on.  It is highly a valuable feeling where words are not good enough to describe.  It is far more than an emotional freedom and a stress free mental state occupying the empty spaces within our well being with the most extreme feeling of serenity and tranquillity. As living humans, we need to want it just as much we need the water to survive and the air to live.  It is of paramount importance that changes everything on the path and journey on one’s life.  When it is shrunk to a point where there is only peace, and just like that, the soul is liberated to do what it is supposed to be.  There will be harmony, trust and inclusiveness.  The soul gets to claim the purpose of purposes.  There will be calming balance, no matter how much hardships are thrown at us. When we act from peace, we get to feel the river of love moving within us.  We maintain the connection with our highe...
