The Blessed Life

Everything in the Universe is constantly changing.  Nothing is permanent and nothing stays the same.  I have to look forward to the future.  I have to look forward to the unknown.  Wisely, I have to stay in the moment amidst all these changes. Life, somehow, is best understood when I look backward but it must be lived forward.  The past is always there.  It lives inside of me and it has helped to make me who I am today.  But it has to be placed in perspective.  The past should not dominate the future. When I avoid the present moment, or I keep going back to the memories of the past, I create anxiety about the future.  Uncertainty can be frightening.  It is scary.  Which way a thing changes depends on me.  Everything that happens to me is my own doing. I have to create my future and it starts today.  I have to manifest all the good things.  I have to clean today and visualize that everything is well.  I have to trust for a good future because I am going to spend the rest of my life ther

From my heart to another, I wish you well.  From my soul to another, 'I love you'.  From the thinking mind of mine to another, 'I am sorry'.  From the human me to another, 'Please forgive me'. Here, on Mother Earth, we share our destiny.  We walk towards finding our meaning, our purpose.  We intertwine our experiences with hope that we are to learn from each other.  All the little things are not tiny matters that we share along our ways.  There is no escape.  We cannot be the only man on the island. As humans, it is unavoidable that we may not see eye to eye.  We may have to agree to disagree.  We disagree and agree.  It is, in those occasions, that lessons are learned.  We give and we take.  We take and we give.  Life is not about you nor it is about me.  Everything co-exists for greater purpose towards the 'I'. As a divine human, there is love for each other.  As a soul, I have to embrace this emotion.  I have to make it better.  I have to respect.  I

I feel so blessed to receive these beautiful messages.  I feel the presence of an Angel who is helping me to clean and erase my errors as a human being.  The messages touch me and they are of great life lessons.  I want to embrace them.  I want to internalize them. For the love of life, I am sharing the messages here.  As I re-write them, I pray that every sentence will connect at my cellular and conscious levels.  That these sentences continue to clean and erase all my errors, all my wrong doings and all my imperfections, from the beginning of time till now, and they bring me to the Shangri-La of God. Thank you, dear Peace of 'I'. [Quote] 01) After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, I started to love myself. 02) I just realized that I am not an "Atlas".  The world is not on my shoulders. 03) I stopped negotiating with the fruit and vegetable vendors.  A few cents won't change my situation but might help the poor guy who is saving

While I hear the sound of the words being spoken, I have to pay attention to the words by listening to them.  Hearing is not necessarily listening nor is it necessarily listening well.  There is a lot of difference between hearing and listening. Listening is about finding out what someone thinks about something.  When I truly listen, I have to put my attention, interest and heart into it and understand what is being said.  It requires me to be patient, receptive, open minded and not to be judgemental. The greatest problem with communication is I do not listen to understand.  Instead, I listen to reply.  I have to avoid doing that.  I have to listen with curiosity.  I should not put words in other people's mouths, fill in gaps or presume to understand the person fully. I have to listen for what is behind the words.  And when it is time that I need to say something, I have to speak with honesty.  I have to act with empathy and integrity.  It is important that I show grace and compass

This is something that I am very certain.  This is who I am.  I am a multi dimensional BEing with qualities that are not perfect.  Yes, I am created perfect in the eyes of my Creator but my attitude, my behaviour, my personality, my ways of life are far from it. Like it or not, I have to accept this truth.  When I accept it, I surrender from being a narcissist and an egoist.  I have to be conscious that I can never have a perfect level of all the desired qualities of a human.  It is just not possible though my earthly intellect may refute it.  It shall be illusionary to think otherwise. I have to embrace my flaws, my imperfections.  When I embrace them, I am being true to myself by accepting that I am not a perfect human.  It allows me to measure things with the right perspective.  To think that I am perfect does not move me forward.  Instead, it holds me back. So what can I do to be happy and be at peace with myself?  Humility is the mother of all virtues, says Mother Teresa.  When I

Desperation will not make me happy.  Desperation will not make everything right.  Desperation can be the cause from achieving fulfilling goals in life .  All things in life never happen without reasons.   They happen for higher purposes and for good reasons.  When I can totally understand that, everything in life will be in order.  Every hopes and solidarities will then work hand in hand. "Let go and let God", that's the best thing I can do.  Everything is essential in life - money, relations, work, etc - but I must choose my beliefs when I have to choose between them.  I have to set ethical principle for my own value.   To have patience lessens the act of desperation.  To have faith is to have wings.  I have to be positive with what I do but I cannot throw caution to the wind.   Understanding life demands faith.  Accepting diversity necessitates faith.  I cannot force things nor force my beliefs on someone.  I am not to impose my values on others.  What flows, flows.  Wh

I always believe all humans are capable to hear the voices of angels.  Or, even the voices of their departed ones.  How these angels, or the departed spirits, are always wanting to communicate, all the time, for good purpose.  How they want to pass on messages so that lives can be easier. Angels are always around.  They love humans and are ever so ready to help at any moment.  They will not let their voices heard unless we are ready for it.  It has to do with humans' free will - they wait for humans to ask for help. The problem for not hearing their voices lies with the humans' minds.  Should the mind does not want to hear it, out of fear or scepticism, the angelic voices shall not be heard.   Should the mind is too busy and not silenced enough, their voices cannot be heard too.  Angels speak to those who want to hear them and those who silence their minds long enough to hear. It is also important that I open my heart.  When I quiet my mind and when my heart is open, messages a

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
