What Have I Done?

I thank you, Mr Mikhail Gorbachev with your meaningful words, "Sometimes it's difficult to accept, to recognise one's own mistakes, but one must do it. I was guilty of overconfidence and arrogance, and I was punished for that."   I am guilty too, Mr Gorbachev.   That statement makes me to pause for thought - "What have I done?".  What good have I done for myself?  What have I done to make this life meaningful?  What could I have done better? This is a reset button question.  I should ask it every now and then, as much as I can.  It is a wake up call to ask myself whether there is anything that has occurred to me that has opened my eyes.   A question that I should ponder and to ask myself is there any regret on what I have done?  It is so that I can have a profound realization about life in general. To ask the question constantly will provide me with significant realization.  It will help me to pause and think before executing any actions and before verbalizi

Follow My Gut Instinct

When at a crossroad, follow the gut instinct.  Collectively, do what the mind, the heart and the gut is taking me.  Take the hue from my inner intuition and act.  Listening to my gut instinct can make a decision easier, without burdening myself. My soul knows what is right for me.  It knows what directions I need to take for my highest good and the good of my path.  While I have the thinking mind that is meant to be used, sometimes it pales in comparison to the inner wisdom of my intuition. I have to trust my gut for it knows what my head has not figured out yet.  When it feels right, then it must be.  Everything in life can deceive but my conscience will always keep it real for me.  My heart and my gut are better than my thinking mind.  Together, they are my best guide. I know the truth by the way it feels.  Truth is when my mind, my heart and my gut agree.  Good gut instincts usually tell what to do long before my mind has figured it out.  I have to be willing to trust my gut instinc

Let Me Internalize

While it is good to tell my mind to make a difference but, most importantly, I must know what kind of difference do I want to make.  Do I want it to be a rainbow for myself?  Or, do I share a pact to be a rainbow for someone's cloud too? I have to live for grandeur purposes and make heavenly missions.  I should instill emotional generosity along the way, every steps of the way.  It has to be in full glory where I can love myself as much as I would love others too.  Though there are differences in each human with identity and beauty, yet we are all the same.  We are all equal and worthy of the same dignity and respect. Everybody has a little of this and a little of that.  Everybody has the dark and also the light in them.  None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right.  No one exists without dualities or polarities.  Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them and within them.  Everybody is a teacher and a student at the same time, all the

Poison Ivy

The day I was born, I cried.  Why didn't I laugh instead?  Did my soul know that my mind would be trickery?  Was my soul missing home?  Was I acknowledging that my life would be a struggle?  Why crying, during infancy, became my only communication on arrival on Mother Earth? The trauma, upon birth, takes a lifetime to resolve.  Perhaps, that is the reason why I cried with my first breath.  The soul knows the long road ahead takes proper attention.  The soul knows that my mind, as I start to live as a human, plays a major role. One of the most important roles I can do is to recognize that the mind, my mind, is my own poison.  My mind has to work for me.  It has to think positive constantly.  Nobody can create a good life for me but myself. Making the time to teach my mind, and my spirit, how to be human is crucial.  Whatever beliefs, habits, memories, perceptions, programs, tendencies and thoughts stored in my mind have to work for me.  The mind can be my greatest ally or my worst e

All In My Life

All in my life is a journey to learn to heal.  Healing is a process that allows me to take charge of my thoughts, feelings and emotions.  I have to take full responsibility to heal myself.  When I heal a part of me, I heal that part of the world that I live in. Do I have to be ashamed that I need to heal myself?  Healing takes courage.  I have to accept the healing process.  There is a bigger meaning to it.  To love others, I must learn to love myself.  To release judgement of others, I must first release judgement of myself.  To heal others, I must first heal myself. I am learning how to accept my broken pieces.  I am slowly accepting how to make peace with the parts of me that are still catching up.  All in my life, there is something to heal.  They are the trust issues, fears and all the things I tried so hard but were never meant to be mine. For me to move forward and to be completely healed, I have to heal certain things over and over again.  It may take me a while to be where I n

The Loner

It is the way of the winding world.  The pandemic, unfortunate as it is, has something to teach humanity.  The social distancing is proving that it is a big okay to be a loner.  It shows there is comforting safety in being alone, keeping a distance from another human being.   With this pandemic, the social distancing is in place as not to put humans at risk of spreading the virus.  It puts space between individuals.  The one metre distancing made mandatory shows that I, as human, is important.  I have to be a responsible being and have to take responsibility. As social distancing is now a year put into practice, it brings a spiritual sense of positivity in doing so.  The habit is to let humans be comfortable distancing with one another.  Personally, I have to admit the peace that comes along with social distancing.   A loner, nonetheless, is not alone as the entire universe is inside him or her.  Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.  With this notio

Have I Been Paying Attention?

How much do I pay attention to everything that is happening with me?  Do I take stock of my experiences, thoughts and emotions?  Am I aware of all the wear and tear on all the material things I own in the house? While I have been telling myself to be responsible, and to take charge on my responsibilities, have I been taking things for granted?  Do I assume that everything in my life is well and good?  Do I take my loved ones for granted?  Do I take my happiness, health and peace for granted? When I do not pay attention with what I have, it is obvious that I am taking things for granted.  It is an irresponsible habit that can lead me to behave in careless ways.  Or, it might lead me to mistreat something that is precious.  When I lack gratitude for not paying attention, I may land myself with being selfish. Taking things for granted can take away my joy.  While I should not be a control freak, it is also important that I do not let life just pass me by.  I have to find the middle ground

Creating My Future Today

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 A Heart To Another

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

Borrowed Lessons

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'.
