The Blessed Life

When I give, I want to forget that I have given.  I want to stop thinking about it.  I shall think no more of it.  It has passed and I should move on.  I should erase it off my mind, completely if I can.  When it is given from out of love, love does not expect any returns. Give unconditionally - this is the best deed ever.  Have I given out my time to those I love?  What have I given to my family?  How much love do I give to my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body?  Have I contributed to my groups of friends and to my community? I have to teach myself to give without any reasons.  To love without conditions.  To talk without bad intentions.  And most of all, to care for people without any expectations. I ought to give without placing conditions, freely.  There shall be no expectation nor thought of repayment.  When I receive a 'Thank You', that shall be the end of the undertaking.   From here on, I have to remember to forget the deal, what I have given.  Should I expe

Everything that I do cause ripple effect.  Whether it is my word, my action or my thought, the effect from these acts influences and it spreads.  Like a domino, a series of things shall happen.  In all things, they open doors for the next thing. One small act of kindness can change the world.  One horrific word can destroy a relationship.  One simple thought can change an event.  There is an influential power on every little things.   Everything hinges on energy.  An action, a word or a thought radiates vibratory effects - subtle, yet it changes things around. I have to be in charge of what I think about.  I have to watch my action.  I have to be kind with my words.  Whatever energy that I engage with has to be of a conscious effort towards character building.   Every little act is significant than I might think.  Every word, every act and every thought changes the outcome and the events.  They can snowball and one is never exactly the same after that. I have to act in the faith of goo

Superstition is made by human, for human.  It is a human thing, mostly fear motivated.  Believing in superstition is not living with the faith of God.  Superstition divides but God unites.  They do not complement each other.  Superstition is the illusion of control. Yes, the world can be a terrifying place.  Yes, God does not seem to spare humans from bad things.  But, do humans know what are God's bigger plans for us all? One superstitious example:  On happy occasions, it is told not to talk about death.  There is also a belief to avoid attending funeral wake during Chinese New Year.  It is a bad luck thing.   But, isn't death a part of life that can happen any time?  Are those who passed on during any of these festive occasions a bad thing? What happen to love?  What is happening with respect?  Why are humans playing God to dictate what is right and what is not?   Should superstitions are God's ways, why are there different sets of beliefs between the East and West?  Or b

Life is a friend who walks with me.  He is always there, watching me as I make all kinds of choices.  He is always whispering into my ears reminding me that I am loved.  That my life has a meaningful existence, that it has purpose.  He wants me to be happy and to take heart that all things are well and good. Life does not judge me, he does nothing of that sort.  The one that is judging is me.  Life is the aspect of existence that is neutral in nature.  The process of life is linked to the story it contains.   I am the story teller.  I write every lines, every chapters in the story.  I am the one that impose upon it and demand on how life has to be. When I open the door to let Life to love me, I open myself to Life.  I will see my true self identity.  Everything that I need shall be revealed to me.  He will create values and meaning and let me to move into the future creating the present. When Life loves me, he will show me about acceptance.  The acceptance that I have limits.  The acce

I wish the light of repentance wakes on me so that I can walk into the light.  And its brightness goes deeper into my cellular consciousness to wake me up and guide my ways.  I am certain the feeling of regret will open up into something bigger, a complete spiritual change .  I wish the light reaches into my heart and it wakes the seed of goodness within. Repentance is not an apology.  It is not a confession.  It is an act of making a 180 degree turn to own my errors, mistakes and wrong doings where I shall take them with full responsibility.   I pray for the light of repentance to shine on my thoughts and burns away all negativities.  I pray for the light to beam on my words and let me to communicate with loving positive words.  I pray for the light to glow on my deeds so that I respect all creations.  I pray for the light to radiate on my actions and it teaches me to be humble to acknowledge my imperfections. I want the light of repentance to teach me to be human first before I talk

To be at peace with life is to accept things as they are.  I have to avoid analyzing too much or to fret on the small stuffs.  When there is too much over-analyzing or over-thinking, the decision making becomes paralyzed.  Analysis is paralysis and there shall be no solution or course of action acted upon. Life is usually understood when I look backwards.  My past experiences shall be the guide and they are good life lessons to provide the wisdom for the future.  However, I should not live in my past for life has to be lived forward. To live in the past can cause me not to live in the present.  Focusing too much on the past can keep me permanently stuck there.  Rather than spending too much time replaying how things ought to have gone, it is much more productive to let go and let God to transform my present. Living in the past empowers negative thoughts to grow.  When I have learned from my past, it is good that I erase it from my memory.  I need to learn what I can from the memories o

I should not live for the sake of living.  Surely, there is a role for me on Mother Earth, no matter how small it is.  Besides to be a good son, a good brother, a good cousin, I can spread my feeling of love to nature too.  I should talk to the trees, sing to the birds and express my gratitude to all of God's creations by just touching and thinking of them. It takes little effort to smile.  It is courageous to show kindness to strangers in need.  It is a worthy cause to think of good things to the people I know and pray, or truly wish, for their well being.   When I cannot do great things, I can do the small things in a great way. Contributing to others is not only good for the people receiving it.  It is also a good thing that makes me happier and spiritually healthier too.  Giving connects me to others, creating Love in the process.  And, it is not all about money.  I can give my time, ideas and a little energy. Doing things to help others is an action for happiness.  I have to o

From 1 (the lowest) to 10 (the highest), where is my level of peace?  Where is my level of happiness?  How happy am I in general?  Am I truly peaceful?  Do I have a high level of good and meaningful life?  How well am I able to cope with my struggles? It shall be wise that I come to realization so that I reap the full life.  It will make me to be proactive with myself, not in a narcissistic way, but to identify the grand benefits where they are beneficial for my emotional, mental and spiritual growth and development.   Pressing myself to answer these questions, honestly and truthfully, will navigate me into mindfulness.  Should I have them in the high range, are the answers a sum total of truth?  Have I, completely, decluttered my heart and mind that I score a high state of being? Or, are all these high ratings a play of my ego?  Are they my state of denial because I want to look good, feel good and be good?  For that matter, what and where is the level of my ego? Mother Earth has alwa

The soul of every humans is an energy of love; is Love.  Is about Love.  Is full of Love.  The soul is the abstract immaterial essence and totality of who a human is at a core level.  The soul is the true nature of every humans. All that a soul wants is to make humanity to live with moral compass and direction.  The soul does not know, nor does it want, life to be complicated.  The purity of the soul wants every humans' lives to know that he or she is more of he or she can become. It is my egoistical mind that makes my soul to suffer.  My soul suffers when I do not nourish it by integrating a spiritual component into my life.  It suffers because I do not strive to give my life meaning and purpose. So, my dear Self, by whose side do you want to live your life with?  The mind?  Or the soul? I have to be aware of my soul and the works of my egoistical mind.  I have to make a clear distinction by which energy I live by.  My mind is very attached to being earthly with all the material n

It is a blissful connection should I hear the voice of my soul.  It is very healing should I hear the whispers of my inner child.  I am a relational being to them.  To be able to communicate with them is natural. How do they sound?  How can I hear them?  What will be our common language?  What will they tell me?  How would they guide and protect me?  Will it be overwhelming?  Are they sad?  Or happy?  Can they help me to make my life better? Not to be with them makes me to feel disconnected.  My soul and my inner child are parts of me.  They are always there for me.  They never left me.  I am the one that have neglected them.  I fail to look after them.  I pay no attention to them and have left them uncared. I am guilty that I have buried them deeper and deeper as I pursue my earthly material life. It is common to steer away from hearing them.  As I move on from an innocent child to become an adult, I become tangled up with the pressures of life.  I have lost them during the process of
