The Blessed Life

I have to assure myself that I am never in poverty.  In good faith, everyone has too much of something, whether it is time, talent or treasure.  For its authenticity and to be grateful in life, I should not have a poverty mentality. With that state of mind, I will be able to open my heart and be able to give back.  I have to find the joy in giving something back.  It is said that "your greatness is not what you have, it is what you give". The act to give is to live lives to be a blessing and be useful.  It shall enrich my soul as well to the receiver.  It makes me to acknowledge that life is bigger than me.  That life is not all about me.  I have to think beyond me. I have to consider other people in this world.  Should I want to live fully as possible, I have to make space for them, their troubles and their joy in my heart.  What would I do for my beloved, the people to whom I care and love?  Would I not give them to share my life, knowing that time is precious? What I can g

It matters greatly to take time to care on my well being.  When I take good care of my mind and body, it produces positive feelings so that I can transmit these good feelings to others.  These positive emotions compliment for my social, medical and psychological state. Taking good care of myself is paramount to the success for my personal growth.  It helps to support my emotional, mental, physical and spiritual state of being.  Taking care of all these aspects will increase the likelihood that I will be joyful, happier and more at peace. I have to live healthy.  I have to practice good hygiene.  I have to do something I enjoy every day and do things that matter to me.  And, I have to find ways to relax.  When I take good care of myself, I boost the ability to deal with stress and keeping myself healthy.   The only way to be at peace with myself is by embracing the sense of responsibility and self care. Taking care of my body emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually creates joy

Who's Job Is it? This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.  Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.  Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.  It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have. Who Wants Change? Once there were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody who wanted change. So, Everybody said "I want change". Somebody said "If only anybody would start to change, I will join." But Nobody said "I will change." Finally Everybody stayed same, blaming Somebody for waiting for Anybody to start changing. So, Nobody changed. ----------- Imagine what can happen when there is a 'must do it'?  Does being proactive a should or must?  What guarantees produ

To surround myself with a bird of the same feather will allow me to be happier.  By engaging with like-minded individuals makes me to learn life lessons at a faster rate.  This is a group of souls that will judge me less but creates better experiences.   They will allow me to learn different viewpoints, identify blind spots without throwing me under the bus. I have to identify these souls should I want a quality lifestyle.  I have to prioritize my happiness and peace.  My mind does not have to work harder with such group of like minded individuals.  There is no pretension for there is common understanding with one common language and purpose. As a human, I need a little validation, encouragement or advice.  While many can offer their wisdom, it is hard for them to relate to me should our minds are not alike.  Sharing common struggles together is a great way to brainstorm solutions, amicably and lovingly. Learning and growing are keys in life.  Similarity is useful for learning and grow

Every day is a new day.  Every day is a new beginning.  When the sun rises every morning, so shall be my will to live.  Let the new light shines on hope and let faith be with new opportunities.   Should yesterday did not end up the way I wanted it, today is godsent day to start anew.  Today, I have to give another shot at the best.  Nothing is pre-destined.  Everything, in life, happen for a reason and let that reason be good.  Life happens when I react to it.  What I visualize, it shall materialize. Should yesterday had been wonderful, today will be much better.  All about life is interlinked and interconnected.  Every day brings better chances.  Every day has lessons to be learned. I have to live in the now and be a Nowist.  This is the only place I will be better off.  Now is all I have and I have to treasure it.  I cannot change what has happened but I can change what is happening in my present, the now.  I cannot go back to the past and make a new beginning but I can start over an

When I pass judgement is like I am holding a gun and start shooting at others.  My words to judge others are the bullets.  They will definitely injure another or could even kill.  Nothing in life causes more pain and suffering than the judgements that I hold about and against others. I need to learn to hold my judgement and, at best, to keep my judgement to myself.  I should not be a loose cannon.  Being judgemental blocks my spiritual growth.  Every time I choose to judge others, I am forgetting about their true stories, about their frustrations and their pains. In reality, all humans are struggling.  What good am I trying to achieve should I judge them without knowing their stories?  Am I better than them?  If yes, how much better? Most judgement is destructive.  When I judge others from my negative perspective, I am doing it to  make myself better.  What I do not realize is that I lack empathy.  That, my ego is bigger than my soul. Should I think deep, every time I judge others, it

Should I fail today, it does not mean that I will fail tomorrow.  When I am feeling low today, it will be another emotion the next day.  Hopefully, a joyful one.  I must not let life throw me off track.  There is always something much more to life than what it is.  Life is always about changing.  Nothing ever stays the same. Whatever I am experiencing today is to make me a better person.  It is important that I encourage myself to let go.  When I let go, I can move on.  It shall unload all burdens, forgive them and look at the brighter side.  Only to let go the past, and embraced it with love, that the weight of the world is lifted off the shoulders. Moving on transforms for the better when I am accepting my errors, my mistakes and my wrong doings.  I have to take ownership to forgive the experiences.  It is very important to forgive.   Moving on will allow me to refocus, gain clarity and to make me prepared for the next chapter in life.  Life has a beautiful way of opening doors when

Every human has light in him or her.  Every human is filled with divine gifts.  Every human life is worth the same.  I may not know it but the divine light within me can be, unconsciously, a guiding light for others.  It can hold a place to let them see their paths. The beauty in every human is the wonderful gift he or she possesses.  This gift is a great service for spiritual growth, to connect to the inner soul.  It is a gift that helps one another.  It will be good should I know it.  When I have the knowledge that I can be of help to others, I become the light of the Divine. With such realization, I have to let myself be the signpost.  The sign that gives information, directly or indirectly, for others to have clear directions to take.  While I should not dictate the right direction for them, my role has to be limited only to provide on the various alternatives available.  I should not be involved with the freedom of choice options. I have to let there always be a bright spot in my

A state of living to be with peace eliminates fears and worries.  It is to remove all negative thoughts, stress, dissatisfaction and unhappiness.  When I am with peace, I build my self confidence and strength.  With peace, I am embracing my life. My mind, my soul, each desires peace.  I have to find peace in everyday life.  I have to know what does peace mean.  Having peace in my mind is a necessity for a happy healthy soul.  A peaceful life is mine when I remove my ego and I control my negative emotions. Peace is the result of training my mind to process life as it is.  My mind should not dictate what life should be.  I have to learn to accept, be kind and stop judging.  I have to let go, let God and find the wisdom to move on. Finding peace is a choice.  Many of my attitudes, habits and ways of life determine how much peace I experience in my daily life.  Balance is not only a thing I must achieve but it should also become a lifestyle. I have to be true to myself.  I must not pursue

The well being of my life is important.  There has to be a healthy balance between what builds me and what gives me life.  It is crucial that I am aware on what I can do and what I cannot do, at all times.  To focus too much on one area will lead me to neglect another one. I have to find a balance with all that life throws at me on a given day, or week.  While it is good to think that I can face it all, I need to acknowledge my limitations.  Living a balanced life means that I have to determine what is most important to me.  There has to be a balance in my emotion, financial, mental, physical, social and spiritual. A huge emphasis needs to be placed on the importance of maintaining balance in my everyday life.  No matter what the circumstances are, I have to prioritize on the responsibility that I must adhere to.  I have to do what is the most important and eliminate the things that are not. Everyday I need to spend my time and energy accordingly.  I should not let my body and mind be
