The Blessed Life

Life is a journey filled with lessons.  It is a journey that will ultimately lead me to my destination, even if I might not understand it.  Each day brings laughters and tears.  Each walking day shines new light, new hope and new learning.  Each walking day can also be hardships and heartaches.  Nonetheless, each day is a great blessing. Along the journey, I become what I digest into my spirit.  Whatever I think about, focus on, read about, talk about, I am attracting more into my life.  I have to learn to make it right.  I am to get it right.  I have to do what is best.  Each day is a gift and I must not sent it back unopened. At times, I feel tired and there are days that I want to do more.  I want to strive to do good as much as I can.  At times, I am lost but my soul nudges me to move forward.  At times, I am facing a great deal of trial, stress and exhaustion but my mind will ask me why give up? Journey of life is not a test but a road of cards to deal.  I have to find the joy on

Study says that by the time I reach adulthood, I have developed about 95 percent of traits and values from my childhood and adolescent years.  The traits and values which I acquire, develop and energize become habitual mannerisms, all learned from my external sources, since the age of one.   What's left in my adulthood, to become fully of who I truly am, is a small percentage.  Largely, my external environment influenced the person I become today. In such circumstances, I am the by-product of certain traits and values that might not be from my true self.  The external characteristics, habits and mannerisms are, sub-consciously, ingrained into my internal beliefs. Ninety five percent is a big number.  It is as good that I have lived a life based on someone else's principles.  With such great percentage,  there is an absence of my true self identity.  The only way to claim back is to clean and erase the past errors. Whatever the circumstances are, what is important now is that I

Hope matters.  But, I should not just continue to be hoping for something and not learned from any results.  I have to rethink the next time I place a hope and get it replaced with actions.   I should not be blatant, helplessly hoping, and not to be proactive and put in the extra efforts.  The energy of hope has to be transferred into actions. When I am hoping for something to happen, I have to be aware with my participation too.  I should not be doing nothing and let hope to do all the hard works.  I have to help myself first.   Taking care of myself so that I can be more productive and organized.  When I cannot help myself, how can hope help me? I am responsible to myself.  I have to love myself.  I have to care for myself.  And, I have to help myself.  It is me, only me, that can safeguard progress in my life.  I have to have will power, determination and strength. I have to think like the flowing water, flowing so freely with every drop.  That is what life is like too.  Nothing can

When I acknowledge that there is an Inner Child in me, I am expanding my consciousness wider.  I am adding another energetic life force within me.  Together, I am doubling the source of strength to walk through the journey in my life. My Inner Child is second in command to my conscious mind.  He is the assistant who shall shed light for the better me.  Unlike me, Inner Child is naturally innocent, loving and uncomplicated.  He is the soul of my existence. It is important that I connect with my Inner Child, which is a better type of relationship than what I have with others.  When my Inner Child and I can become one, I will live better.  I become happier.  My life evolves with the meaning of life and will not get the past to affect me. The more I let my Inner Child to exist, I am connecting with the present.  I recognize the healing process that erased my past trauma.  I will live in my present with the wounds of the past deleted.   To live in the present moment is a miracle.  It boosts

While I may want to think that I am on the right path, I also have to know that it is not the only path.  Regardless the destination, all roads lead to Rome.  Everything plays a central role to take me on.  All that I need to focus is what do I really want.  Wherever my heart is, I will find the appropriate value for me, by me. Life is constantly evolving.  It changes and developed into another form over time.  Life is as simple as ABC and it is the  A-wareness B-efore C-hange that sets the tone.  Awareness is the big key for change to be efficient and effective.  When there is awareness, the process of life becomes better and everything around me becomes better too. Life attracts life.  I have to watch my thoughts.  I have to listen to my words.  I have to observe my deeds.  I have to be aware of my actions.  I should have good judgement on my reactions.    When I want something, all in the Universe conspires in helping me to achieve it. I think positive, I become positive.  I think n

When my mind is foggy and I am riddled with indecision, the day will not end up making me feeling good.  Without mental clarity, it is hard to make choices that can get me to where I want to be.  Without it, I feel aimless and it is easy to feel lost constantly. Mental clarity is indeed and important part of keeping my life in balance.  It helps me to maintain my focus and a clear state of mind.  When I have mental clarity, my mind shall not be clouded with indecision, with all the what-ifs.  Nor would I be overwhelmed and getting worry unnecessarily. When my mind is clear, I can see life better.  It helps me to find focus and direction.  I will be able to accept situations as my mind knows that I am able to handle them.  With a clear mind, I don't get to worry what could go wrong. I have to feed my mind for my mind to feed my thought process.  With a good thought process, I appreciate my life.  I will get to see how blessed I can be.  The situations that make me to feel stress wil

When I think that I am constantly right, I am lacking a sophisticated divine mind.  When I believe that I am perpetually good, I am fooling myself.  When I am filled with pride, then I have no room for wisdom. Which side of my mind, or my heart, do I normally swayed?  Have I been neutral at all times? There is a thin line between being humble and acting with arrogance.  It is not easy to recognize between the acts of love and imposing on someone.  Pride and foolishness walk together, almost in perfect conspiracy. I have to find ways towards a heart-mind balance.  I have to handle the various elements in my life and not to feel that my heart and mind are being pulled hard in any direction. My mind is always challenging myself intellectually verses creating opportunities for my mind to rest. My heart has to be in full clarity between giving love verses receiving love. There has to be a balance between these two spectrums.  Both ends of each spectrum are breathing life but they can also e

Before I can love somebody, I have to learn to love myself first.  When I am in love with myself, I will know what love is and will love others better.  I get to feel and be acquainted with the good feeling.  I will learn about acceptance, conviction, respect and the act of caring and giving. Loving myself, with all my imperfections, will make me to appreciate all others.  It gives me lessons that I have to treat others with dignity.  Not because I merit it but because I learn in thoughtfulness.  Love is about being thoughtful, about a deep sense of care and commitment. I have to be the energy of love to love another.  Unconditional love does not need nor should there be a reason to love.  When I am full of love, it is easier and freer to share.  It gives me the ability to see the What-is and then the What-could-be.  Basically, it opens my world to see the bigger picture. Without love, what will I be?  Can I be peaceful without love?  Will my life be happy without love?  How safe and h

To encounter self realization is a greatest gift from heaven.  When it comes knocking, I have to embrace and act on it.  I have to be grateful and own it.  My mind must not ignore it.   I should not dismiss it as it may not come easily the next time.  Self realization remains hidden and dormant because my mind is full of false beliefs that cloud my perception of reality. Self realization has to be realized.  It paves the path towards improvement.  When it happens, it allows me to understand and evaluates my real 'Self'.  Being aware of 'Self' is the toughest of all knowledge.   There are many things I can learn in life.  But, my mind has to wake up and the learning has to be realized.  Only when I am able to realize it that I get to know my soul and its true purpose.   It reconnects with who I am.  It is a process of knowing myself at a higher level.  It makes me to become aware to understand the 'Self'. Self realization is a profound feeling of awakening.  I ne

I have to let go all attachments to label and status.  So what if I have a good career, good education, thousands of followers on social media.  Or I drive a big car.  Or I live in a big house.  Having too much pride will not guarantee that I can be humble.  Having too much pride, very often, clouds judgment. Man, in general, is not capable to stay on top forever.  How smart a squirrel is to jump from one tree to another, one day it loses control.  There is a limit for everything.  It is just the law of physics.  Pride will take me nowhere.  Pride is the death of a thinking mind that drains life completely. It is important that I stay humble.  Being ignorant to think that I am better, that I think I know much more, can lead me to my downfall.  When pride takes control, there is no room for acceptance.  At its worst, there is a refusal to accept any other person's point of view. I must not be jealous over someone else's success.  When there is jealousy, pride destroys relationsh
