The Blessed Life

As the song goes, 'There can be miracles when you believe'.  Indeed it is and I believe in that.  Believe is like a magnet.  It attracts what is honestly desired, genuinely wished for.  As Louise Hay says 'No matter what we choose to believe or think, the Universe always says "Yes" to us'. When these beliefs do not turn into miracles, it has to do with me - the way I think.  It has nothing to do with the process.  It is the fault of the mind not able to focus, not knowing what it truly wants.  Believe profoundly influences the next best thing.  That, it opens the Universe inside of me because there is deep faith and hope.   I have to believe in something in order for that something to exist.  The so-called miracles happen because I live for that purpose.  A purpose that I believe in.  Miracles are what I create, when I let go and let God.  There are miracles when all the actions taken put me in at the right place at the right time. Miracles happen through natu

The spiritual body.  The mental body.  The emotional body.  The physical body.  These four bodies make up the person that I am.  Each of these bodies serves me through my conscious and sub-conscious minds. They can either complement or in conflict with each other.  When they are complementing, life is good.  But, when they are in conflict, it is where dis-eases appear.  It is a condition where there is no 'ease' but ill health.  It is a situation where emotions get tangled in the webs of stress. At the other end, there is my soul where it connects to the higher mind, super conscious mind.  The super conscious mind encompasses a level of awareness that sees beyond material reality.  It is the mind of light, the all knowing intelligence.  Here, it is where every aspects of consciousness are experienced. As a human, I have to be one with all of them - all the four bodies and the three minds.  It is the only connection that raises the human vibrations.  Ideally, when they come toge

I have to ensure that my conscious and sub-conscious minds work in tandem, in perfect partnership.  I should not have the conscious saying one thing and the sub-conscious wants another.  When these two are in conflict, nothing favourable is achieved. When my conscious mind, for example, wants me to go out of the house to take in fresh air, it is good that the sub-conscious mind co-operates.  More than often, the sub-conscious dictates the reaction.  Based on the example, when my sub-conscious feels lazy and wants to stay indoor, I will not go out. I have to be kind with my mind, on the way I think on a daily basis.  Awareness is beneficial.  It is good to focus only on my dominant thoughts and let go what's not.  Thinking is a heavy burden to entertain all the 6,000 (and more) thoughts every day, which will compound to the next day.   My mind is a creature of habit.  Unfortunately, the mind focuses more of the negatives rather than the positives.  When I do not take charge and dism

I am not perfect.  Yes, I have many flaws.  Day by day, I make every mistake under the sun.  For this reason, do I deserve love?  Am I worthy of it?  Or, do I have to be humiliated, be made to feel ashamed?  Who shall be the judge of humanity? Unconditional love, simply put, is love without strings attached.  It is love that I have to offer freely.  I should not base it on what others do for me in return.  I simply have to love and want nothing more than their happiness.   It is like the love my parents have for me or the love all other parents have for their own child. Comparably, when it comes to friendship, how far can unconditional love go?  How do I know that I can engage unconditional love unreservedly?  For that matter, how much do I take the time to know about my state-of-being-friends with all my friends?   Friendship is as important as any familial relationship. Friendship is a combination of affection, loyalty, love, respect and trust.  It is based on mutual appreciation.  F

It is the duality of life.  Duality teaches me that every aspect of life is created from a balanced interaction of opposite and competing forces.  Yet, these forces are not just opposites.  They are, indeed, complementing each other.   I cannot win and win again and again endlessly.  I will not fail and fail again and again forever too.  All is fair in life.  There is a great and greater purpose to it.  The hashtag to all winnings, and otherwise, lies with the role my heart exhibits. To grasp acceptance in life is important.  Whenever I fail, I should be thankful.  What I should avoid, when I fail, is the feeling of defeat.  I should not give up.  I must not swear and curse.  Failure is about picking myself up.  It is to learn new lessons, to acquire and to realize that I have not given my utmost best. Whenever I win, I should be grateful.  At the same time, I should be humble about it.  There are more lessons to learn here.  Will my win make me arrogant?  Will I forget about humility?

Doing the right thing for myself paves for an enjoyable beautiful ways to live my life.  I have to list the right thing.  It has to be by me, for me and to me.  It has to make me feel good.  It has to inspire me to become better individual. What is the right thing?  I must not think selfishly.  It has to be socially right and acceptable too.  I have to do good and be good.  Doing good and being good make a journey in life wonderful. I have to cultivate self care, taking care of all facets of my life.  It includes money, relationship with my loved ones and, most importantly, my relationship with myself.  Self care is about giving my mind and my soul a sense of peace.  That brings abundance of happiness, joy and good health. Doing the right thing is important.  Choosing to do the right thing is about who I want to be.  Underneath my name, my career and my home, who am I really?  What do I stand for?  What matters to me?  Who do I want to surround myself with?  What can I contribute to ot

Words used to express intentions mean nothing when they are not from the heart.  Words alone do not mean much.  It takes more than just words after words after words.  It is how they are said that means everything. Words are to be articulated and connected from love in the heart.  The tone of my voice, to carry out those words, plays an important role too.  It matters as it creates harmony.  My tone clarifies and conveys meaning.  My tone affects how others perceive me.  Also, it measures on their willingness to listen. I have to constantly remind myself to hear and listen on the way I speak.  I should not cheapen my words to cheapen my talk.  There is no necessity for me to be heard when I have nothing good to say.  It is not important that I must fill in any awkward silences.  It is not necessary, nor it is funny, to make others laugh all the time. The words 'Listen' and 'Silent' are both spelt with the same letters.  The more that I talk less, the more I learn.  Sile

Today, as I am saying goodbye to another year, I should spend a little time to do a reflection.  Doing so, I am giving respect for the past.  Only when I know where I've come from that I will know where I am going next.   Hopefully, my reflection can help me to see how everything is connected.  It is to be hoped that it gives me a sense of accountability and purpose.  Trustingly, I will get to understand myself much better. My mind needs to know the importance why I have to reflect.  While it might get me nowhere, it shall be of great significance to give some thoughts on the next stage of my life.  It might not be about finding happiness, it can be about enjoying all that I have. Similarly, it is about gratitude, that I can cherish all the things that took place.  When I can acknowledge every happenings with love, surely there will be time for gladdening my heart for all the experiences. For this reflection, I will ask myself these questions.  It is to add and find the sum total o

Whenever there is a nudge to do something good, I should just do it.  I should follow the intuition.  It is the Higher Self prompting me.  It is my Inner Child prodding gently.  It is the angel saying, 'Hey, I am here'.  This is how the Universe works; that unspoken messages are being trusted subtly to influence behaviours and decision makings. When I follow these nudges, there are high chances that good habits are developed.  That, I shall rid any inertia and procrastination.  That, I nurture spontaneous acts to become proactive in life.   Being spontaneous is a good trait to have in life.  It opens any uninhibited manners and builds courage and growth. Nudge is the language of the Universe within me.  It aids me to get closer to hearing my inner voice.  It is designed to initiate and to shape events.  It is a divine energy within that is bursting with information to make things right.  It is the divine flame supporting the mind-body towards achieving for something good.

Every time I see good loving relationships, and those that have been together for decades, I thank God that I can witness them.  They remind me of my parents, and everyone else that I know, about being together.  How those decades of them together, in loving relationship, survive so well till death separates them. It is always a lovely feeling to see long lasting relationships.  I admire their commitments to make things work.  I adore their patience.  I stand in awe at their coping mechanisms.  I respect their willingness to take the time to understand conviction.  I crave for meaning and their harmony. Relationship takes hard work.  It takes two willing individuals striving for the ultimate.  Even if the couples are soulmates, made in heaven, relationship is about two people with different background coming together.   Certainly not an easy task as there will always be differences.  Yet, when a relationship that lasts for decades, till death do them part, speaks volume. It shows the i
