The Blessed Life

It is a beautiful gift to my soul when I can commit to spend time sitting in meditation and in prayer.  The time spent to surrender to nothingness brings mental benefits, increased happiness and emotional stability.  It elevates peace of mind and shall decrease anxiety.  The healing effect is enormous. When I chant a mantra or a prayer meditatively, I regain my footing with my soul.  It is the song for my soul and a very personal relationship with the Divine.  I am reconnecting the soul with my life at a higher level. With the chant, the prayer and the meditation, I am recognizing that I am a spiritual being having a human experience.   At this state, I will be able to appreciate all that I have.  My soul shall rejoice. It is the energy in meditation and in chanting prayers that brings a sense of oneness.  The soul understands this exact feeling of tranquillity and how important it wants it.  It is as if, while doing that, the present moment expands to fill all of eternity, with the un

It is never a good feeling to live in fear, with fear.  The fear of getting hurt, of losing something or someone, of getting harm, of change or of failure.  The feeling of fear comes from a mindset that a lifestyle is being threatened.  This threat can be physical or emotional. Fear is one powerful emotion.  It has strong effects on the mind.  It can take over a life, affecting the joy to live. Fear paralyzes lives. Fear happens because there are many unknowns in life.  There are many questions a mind can ask but only God has the answers.  It is this uncertainty that fear creeps in.  The physical feelings of fear can be scary in themselves. Fear prepares me to be strong.  It draws me to have the courage and to keep my head up.  To have faith, as I am told, helps to lessen the anxiety and stress.  So is letting go of the fear and move on. But, before I can stand on my two feet and gain momentum to find the strength, how can I eliminate fear completely?  How do I prevent myself from gett

This is a beautiful simple quote with such an amazing deep message.  It will be good that I think of it carefully and take heart.  It is good that I understand it and get to be real with reality.  Buddha says 'The trouble is, you think you have time'.   Indeed, there are many times that I have taken my life for granted.  That I dismiss not to carry out doing things as the mind thinks there will always be tomorrow.  That I ignore to follow my heart and missed the boat.  That I disregard my intuition and lost an opportunity.  That, I think I have forever.  Reality is, I don't. The more I procrastinate, the more that things do not get to complete.  Likely they will be left on the shelves and, a high chance, they get overlooked.  I have to know that opportunities are not things to be waited for, they are something to be pursued and worked on.   My mind, conveniently, forgets that I cannot turn back the hands of time.  I have to live as though today is my last day.  When I remin

Life is what I make it.  When I choose to see only the bad things, I will continue to see the bad things.  When I choose to think that life is hard, it will be hard indeed.  I have to be aware of my thinking mind.  I should not have a mindset that works against me.  I have to take charge to be positive and think positive. All self created problems in life are the result of my expectations not met.  I have to reduce them should I do not want to feel the lousy miserable feelings again and again.  Instead of looking at problems as problems, I have to shift my paradigm.  I have to look at them as lessons that I need to learn to turn me into a better individual. In order for this paradigm shift to be effective, I have to accept the problems.  Running away or to sweep them under the carpet is not the good way.  It will be helpful should I ask these questions.  Why are they happening to me?  What are attracting them to keep popping up?  Am I the source of the problem? Life is too precious an

When there are people who are disappointed, who are angry and upset with me, this is where that I have to realize about my imperfections.  This is the right time for me to take full responsibility to own and realize it.  This is the time that I have to take charge to look within.  This is when life's real lessons kick into high gear. Such animosity has nothing to do with them but it is about the big lack off that is missing in my personality.  Obviously, my attitude and character are questionable.   I should be thankful that these people, for all the differences, are crossing into my path so that I can wake up.  Everything has reasons. All beings that are in front of me are godsend.  They appear so that I can learn about myself.  They come to let me to realize about my limitations.  They are the earthly divine angels to make me to be a better person.  Thank you, thank you, thank you. The common element with everything that happens in my life is Me.  Everything comes down to Me.  I

The day that I lost the child within me was the day I became a human.  It was the day that I was exposed to the man-made world of sociology.  I had no choice but to adapt to all my surroundings, mostly unknowingly, to survive. At that tender age, I was made to uncover on every aspects of human social relationship.  At that innocent age, what could possibly happen to any child was the start of many subtle traumas that changed all purity and goodness. Today, after many years, I want to heal that child that I had abandoned.  I want to heal my relationship with him.   I want to heal all pains, all wounds and any deeply distressing or disturbing events that have inflicted me to be helpless.  That have made me to diminish my sense of Self and the ability to live life with full of courage. It is important that I re-engage with him.  Re-connecting with him will help me.  It will lead me to a complete, more confident and self actualized human being. It will make me to recognize my purpose.  Hig

At the end of the day, all that I want is to embrace inner peace.  It is something so dear to me, as important as the air that I breathe.  It is my deep human need.   Inner peace shall make me a better human that will make me to love and respect humanity.  It will make me to accept, unconditionally, all aspects of life, without judgment. Inner peace will not just happen.  I have to work for it, give effort and intention for it to be with me.  I have to cultivate higher and more spiritual meaning in my life.  I have to examine my lifestyle and re-evaluate what is important. Inner peace is a journey of discoveries.  It is a blissful state that showers with contentment, happiness and personal empowerment.  It helps to navigate through uncertainty, suffering and sadness.  It allows me to confront life with an open heart. Inner peace is a state that scales me to see my purpose much clearer.  When there is inner peace, I will get to know where I want to be.  I will get to commit to my worthy

How beautiful life can be when my heart can speak.  That, it shall not use the mind.  That, words are not spoken out from the mouth but only the heart.  That, the very form of communication is from my heart to others' hearts.   Indeed, it can be blissful to hear the actual voice of the heart.  How much do I know the pain my heart endures?  Is my mind in conflict with my heart?  Do I respect at what my heart feels? To speak from an open heart can be vulnerable yet be the strongest.  The heart is where love resides.  The heart is where simplicity and sincerity are.  It is a sacred place with great moral force.  It does not know how to lie.  It speaks without contentiousness or blame. When a heart is pure, and it should be that way all throughout, love shall be the humans' main language.  Everything will be communicated in a heartfelt way with compassion and dignity.  The tone of the heart conveys deep emotional sincerity.  When speaking from the heart, it is often words of open h

I cannot be saying there is a divine spark, in all humans, and yet not to respect it.  Should humans hold the spark of the Divine in their hearts, it is good that I honour humanity.  When together, humans can make life better and meaningful for each other.  When we stand as one with these sparks, we shall create and nurture love and not war. There is divine light in each one of us.  As the author Antoine de Saint-Exupery says in his book 'The Little Prince', "All men have stars".  I have to be mindful of this phrase and let it ingrained inside me.  I have to be conscious of my attitude, my thinking mind and my feelings and opinions towards others. I should not let my mouth invent negative labels on another BEing.  When I call someone 'A Fool' or 'Toxic' or something else, am I claiming that I am superior than that person?  Am I really any better?  By saying these negative words, am I implying that Divinity is a fool or toxic too - since all humans hold

There are reasons for everything.  Why the sun rises and what are my choices when it sets.  Why the flowers bloom and why the wind is blowing at certain directions.  Why I am here while you are there.  Why there is a feeling of love and why is there a feeling of indifference. The responsibility to reason things out lies on me.  So is the responsibility for my success.  I am the creator for creating meaning out of life.  I have to live not by the 'reason' but to understand the wisdom from the experience.  I should not worship on intellect as it does not make me smarter. How important is it that I have to have all the reasons answered?  What do I want to achieve?  Will I question more after knowing the answers?  Must there be one definite and specific answer to every reasons?  Is there an absolute truth? To live a good life is about finding values and not finding every conclusive reasons.  Life is what happens to me.  I am the captain of my heart.  I hold the compass to my walks
