The Blessed Life

How conscious am I whenever I say something?  Do I verbalize because I want to be heard?  Do I express what I truly mean?  Do I voice out and communicate or do I criticize?  Do I speak to gain popularity? I should not be saying one thing and do something else.  I should not take my words lightly.  I am responsible for what I say.  There have to be an essence of respect and meaning.  What I say create subtle ripple effects.  They create waves, the chain reactions, and have impact on well being. I have to align my mind and soul to stay true to my Self.  I should not say 'Oh, today is a good day for a good day' and complain all throughout the 'good day'.  Or, 'I promise that I will be there' and not honouring it when the time comes.  Or 'I am sorry' and yet keep hurting. Whatever I say, I have to mean it.  I should not break my own rules.  When I say one thing and do another, I live in contradiction - which is as good as hypocrisy.  I ought to say what I me

Serenity is earned when there is harmony.  Where the mind and the soul meet on an agreement to be together and to get along well.  Where there is oneness to work in partnership towards one common goal.  Where the choice to accept all aspects of 'me' to become a 'we' to create a beautiful energy. Harmony helps to ground me.  It is a wonderful emotion in life.  It makes me to feel love and joyful.  It allows me to be in a safe bubble in a world that is constantly in flux.    I have to embrace a state of inward harmony with myself.  When I am able to have it, I shall feel the flow of love and connectedness through my heart, body and soul.  My mind shall bring the fresh presence of divinity to wherever I go and to whomever I come in contact with. When I experience inwardly the harmony within me, I get to choose how I feel.  I get to inspire how to live my days.  I get to celebrate and enjoy the positive internal communication.  I shall stop to complain about things around m

How much do I appreciate on all the things that life offers me?  How much do I take note of their contributions and values?  Just because they do not have a voice, to speak to me, that I disregard their importance? My life is surrounded with many tangible and intangible inanimate objects.  From the house that shelters me, the bed that gives me a good sleep, the water tank heater to give me a warm bath to the kitchen utensils.  And, there are many many more.  Each one of them serves a purpose and more.  Each one of them makes me to live in comfort. Obviously, I have to say thank you to them.  I have to show appreciation to these objects.  They have come into my life.  Many are brought into my house.  They have become part of me.   On most days, I need them.  I have to make sure that every items count.  I have to be respectful since I brought them into the house.  I should not just chuck them aside. On the bigger side of life, there is the sun, the moon, the rain.  The air that I breathe

As there is a divine light within me, can I live not to be myself but someone better?  Someone nicer?  Someone who can be kind, sympathetic and understand empathy?  Can I be more than a thinking person and a true human being with a pure soul?  A human that is being tasked to be on Mother Earth to transcend his highest good? I have to nurture my desire to have more self kindness and self compassion.  When these are ingrained in all the cells in my body, I shall be equipped to live a good life.  They have to grow in my mental mind, physical mind, emotional mind and spiritual mind.  They have to be like the air that I breathe that sustain my ways of life. A good life gives my life a deeper sense of meaning.  It may even help to improve myself with a better insight towards the purpose of my earthly existence.  It makes me to connect with the divinity within to preserve humanity and mother nature. I have to be natural to make positive impacts to everything around me, and to myself.  It has

At the heart of my human experience, life is always offering alternatives.  There are various schools of thoughts that generate opportunities and offer guidelines as how I can live.   Being a human with all the universal abundances available, I have to cultivate an optimistic mind.  I need to widen my imagination and dare to believe that I can make things possible. Every human is beautiful.  Each human being is unique. Every human has to find his/her self identity.  Each human has to build his/her sense of self.  Every human has to discover and create the 'Self' that shall be true to his/her being. To maximize my human existence, I have to get acquainted with my soul.  My soul is who I am.  The function of my body and mind is only use to experience who I am.  To find my identity, I have to realize my life purpose and live it.   It is important that I am passionately in love with the purpose and not to lose it.  To lose my purpose, I will not find the meaning. I am a sum total o

Procrastination is one bad habit.  It is an action that can have negative effects in life.  The effects of procrastination may not seem all that bad at first, but over time, those effects can lead to anxiety, broken dreams and stress. I have to avoid saying 'Oh, I will do it later'.  Because, this 'later' might end up to be never.  When I keep using such an excuse, it will become a habit eventually.  The mind loves habits.  Should I am making an excuse to delay the action, I have to know why am I doing so? Knowing the reasons why I am procrastinating over a task will give me an insight about what I want to own in life.  It will prompt me to weigh the pros and cons.  It will make me to be more aware on the consequences and its impact.  It gives me the choice and opens the realization. But, of things that are important to me, I have to give them immediate attention.  What I do today will improve all my tomorrow.  Whatever I do right now will determine my future.  I have t

Life is such that there is always a placing for everything.  There is the first place, the second, the third and so on.  There is the champion, the gold, the silver and the bronze.  There is the chairman, chief executive and all others. For whatever the reasons, with such placings in life, I should not put myself in the race all the time.  To win is good but winning is not everything.  The key is not to win at all costs but it is the will to prepare to win that is important. I am not obligated to win.  I am obligated to keep trying and to do the best I can do everyday.  Whether I get to be in the first place or the last, I have to be proud that I have tried.  That, I try to do the right thing.  Winning does not always mean being first. In life, it is how I conduct myself that matters.  Yes, the goal is to win and succeed.  But, the ultimate aim is to engage myself with the experience.  That, I am taking chances at everything possible for my growth.  That, I keep running, keep dreaming

Kindness is a gift that everyone can afford to give.  It is the simple quality of being friendly, generous and considerate.  To be kind is more than being 'nice'.  Kindness is an act rooted in empathy and acceptance.   There is no price tag to it.  In fact, the more I can give it, the more is the reward.  There should not be any reasons why I have to be kind to others.  When I can be kind to others, it not only changes me, it changes the world around me too. Kindness is the energy of the Divine.  It is, and always will be, an act of love in action.  Kindness improves quality of life.  It can bring my soul closer to another.  With kindness, it elevates the soul vibrations.  Kindness can make a bad day good and a good day better. I have to cultivate this energy.  I have to instil it in my thoughts, my words, my deeds and my actions.  I have to remind myself that the act of kindness is why I am here on Earth.  It is a value that can add satisfaction and allowing relationships to b

Every day is a new beginning.  Each day can bring a lot of promise.  There are tiny miracles in each new day.  It is how I see them.  It is how I present the perspective.  Every single effort is changing my body from the inside. Yesterday has left me and I have to look forward to move on.  It is good that I take stock of what I have left behind and then look ahead.  A new opportunity means a fresh start with all the wonderful possibilities. When I greet a day with an open heart, I am telling my mind a chance for new opportunities.  That all the efforts that I put on today will create for better tomorrow.  When tomorrow comes, it will be another new day with new beginning.  And, I have to continue to greet it with another open heart.  Little by little, a little becomes a lot. When I let the cycle go on, day after day, I honour to live in the moment.  Living in the present moment means that I am living my life consciously.  That I am aware that each moment I breathe is a gift.  The abili

Do I accept life as it is?  Or, do I dictate the stories of life with 'What if' and 'what it should be'?  Do I doubt everything that is happening?  Do I often think that there is always something else, something better?  And, can I be satisfied with what is presented to me? Can I accept that everything happens for love?  That, there is good reason to why things happen the way they are?  Behind everything that is happening is seeking for my gratitude.  Behind all that is happening is God's plan to make me feel safe, though my mind may think otherwise.  Everything that is happening is a catalyst for the next big good thing. Fighting with the intellect will not help me to accept life as it is.  The ability to understand is far beyond any intelligence.  My intellect does not know much of the truth.  I have to accept the intellect is ego driven.  It thinks it knows better and more.  What it does not know is the poor translation in its thought process. I have to accept fo
