The Blessed Life

As I am wishing or intending to achieve for something, I am actually making a prayer.  I am establishing a relationship with the Divine Creator, God.  I am reaching for the Divinity's Hand.  I am making a conversation so that I can be heard, so that my burden is lifted. My conversation with the Divine is the prayer.  I shall converse to make requests, to seek guidance and to ask for wisdom. Prayer helps me to open my heart to experience what life is all about.  It grounds me to accept that everything happens for good reasons.  As I sit to meditate and to silent my mind, I am connecting my soul to God.   In that connection, I pray and I surrender.  With that connection, I open my heart to trust and believe that the Divine power helps and heals. There is beauty in prayer.  It nourishes the soul.  It beautifies the energy body.  It calms the mind.  Prayer is not a technique of escape from conflict.  It is a stimulus towards growth in the very face of conflict.   It reduces the feeling

Life is such that when I judge another, I do not define them but I define myself.  It is like looking at myself in the mirror and what I see in others is what is in me too.  Obviously, I get backfired.  Can I accept it? By making a subjective judgement about another person, I am not revealing a truth about him or her but a truth about myself.  In most cases, judging another is an act to make me feel better about myself.  What I do not realize, when I judge others, I voluntarily dim my own divine light. Passing a judgement is easy.  Many times, it happens in small subconscious way without realizing it.  Worst is when I think worldly of myself where I assume that I am better than most.   It makes me to think that my perspective towards life and people are more spot on.  Such thinking puts me to keep making assumptions. Why am I so quick to judge and label others, when it is said that nobody is perfect?  I need to train myself to be broad minded.  To be that, I need to be kind and learn t

Dear Self, it does not matter what everyone else thinks.  Should someone want to judge me, that is his/her choice.  What matters is I can look in the mirror and love who I see.  While that is self love, I have to see far beyond that.  I have to see, and feel, the divine spark from that image.   A true soul is not about the physical beauty but one that exudes in the name of Love, of one with God and of being human.  The real beauty is the union of a beautiful heart and a positive spirit.  Beauty is not about how I look but how genuine I am at heart. I have to love my life, because I am a product of Love.  It is important that I remind myself to do that, no matter how hard life can be.  No matter who tries to teach me lessons about life, I will not be able to understand it until I go through it on my own.   Life is best measured by experience, not so much by knowledge.  The great thing that shall come out of that, from the experience, is what I become of it. Everything has beauty and not

Why is it hard to accept criticism?  Why do I see it as an act of insult?  Why do I feel hurt when my actions are being commented?  Am I so perfect that no one has the right to correct me and voice their harsh opinions?  Nonetheless, there is a thin line between giving constructive criticism and throwing under the bus.   Should I want to change, I should take criticism with an open mind.  I have to accept it constructively, positively.  This is one way that I can make things right for me.  It is how I will be able to see and realize on my weaknesses.  On my errors and mistakes. When my actions are being commented, I should acknowledge it as helpful feedback.  I should not get too personal on the remarks when the (higher) intention is about a change.  I can learn from criticism.  Being humble goes a long way.  There is no need to be angry nor be resentful. The more I get defensive, how else would I identify my weaknesses?  Learning to accept constructive criticism helps me.  When someon

Where there is love, there is life, a beautiful life.  Love gives the will to live.  Love makes no excuses and there shall be no excuses.  There will always be time.  Everything is beautiful.  Everything is possible.  Everything is good.  Love makes life better. On the other hand, where there is not enough love, excuses become norm.  There will always be something to explain just so it sounds right.  Something needs justification.  Excuses prevent me from living the life I want.  When I keep giving excuses, I am not giving life the chance to grow. When I am late for an appointment, for example, it is because I do not give enough effort to be early.  There is not enough excitement and there is not enough love to do so.  Unconsciously, it has to do with my hesitation and reservation to participate.   It has to do with my never mind attitude.  Bottom line, there is not enough love for me to give respect to another soul. Giving excuses should not be the way of life.  It makes me to be comp

It is not the end of the world yet.  And since I am still able to breathe and my journey on Mother Earth has not ended, I have to remind myself of who I am with the remainder of my time left.  I have to be thankful that I have come this far.  I have to make sure that I continue to build better principles, with good moral and ethical mindset. There has to be a reason, good reason, I am still continuing on this borrowed time.  I must not let it slip away.  I should not take it for granted as I will never know when it is my time.  It has to be spent constructively with raised awareness and consciousness. Everything is build on love.  It all comes down to love.  I have to know what love is.  I have to have love in my actions, with my words and in my heart and in my mind.  I have to be good and kind.  I have to live my life honestly.  I have to demonstrate what I can do on my own before it is taken out of my hands. Do I have love in me?  I have to know it, feel it and live by it.  It is the

What I do today will set the tone for tomorrow.  For there is a power in today.  The tomorrow that I desire does not exist should I don't act it today.  Yes, I have no control of what will happen tomorrow but today is in my hand.  Today is entirely within my control. Should I want tomorrow be what I want it to be, I have to manifest it today.  As the spiritual master, Eckhart Tolle says 'Your outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one:  the step you are taking right now'.   Every time I plant a thought, I initiate a ripple effect that launches a whole sequence of events.  These events shall benefit me because I ask for them.   I have to utilize today.  And I have to utilize it wisely.  I have to plant only good thoughts.  That should be the way of my life.  It has to be the chosen way.   Today, I choose to live for love.  To love myself so that I can learn to love others.  Today, I want to live with respect.  To respect myself so that I can l

When the heart stops beating, the movie of life ends.  The heart is where stories of life are written.  It stores all kinds of love, in every degree.  It is here where love filled with compassion, kindness and love resides.  It is also here where love filled with hate, jealousy and resentment lives. The heart represents the center of love and security.  My heart has to beat to the rhythm of love.  It embodies a sense of being.  I should nurture it to be able to experience and express compassionate love to my soul.  The amount of joy that my heart gives depends on the amount of readiness I have in my heart. Every which way, the heart is under the subconscious command of the mind.  The heart is neutral but it is the mind that shapes its direction.  The mind is better at dictating how the heart feels.  I have to work on my mind to be one with my heart.  I have to sync the mind to undertake the language of my heart. My consciousness has to guide my mind to guide my heart.  It is important

When I want to feel free and to own my life's meaning and purpose, I have to learn about detachment.  I have to break away from past beliefs, from my old conditionings and everything that makes me attached.  Associating myself with toxic environments that tie me in will not liberate me too.  These things will not give me the freedom to grow.   I have to recognize what is making me fixated.  I have to recognize the negativity of external circumstances that are in conflict with my internal peace.  Detachment is my duty and it is my right for a better life.   It is a responsibility not to expect anything in return.  To make myself detached does not mean I am no longer caring.  Instead, it makes me to view circumstances from outside the box with a heart. It is good that I do not get myself attached emotionally to labels, to people and to my past.  I should not be conditioned to them.  Attachment makes me to depend on things, or other people, for my happiness.  I have to learn to detach

No words are empty words.  Each word is powerful.  Every words matter.  Every syllable spoken engages energy, either towards or against.  They are the force that drive humanity.  They carry a great amount of energy that changes the world.  Each energy is waiting for ripple effects to happen.   The energy manifests instantaneously and makes it way into the hearts.  Words can break a heart just as sure as meanness.  The difference is, the kind words that make the broken heart softer and the mean words make the heart want to be hard. Each word I speak has a life of its own.  It is full of vibratory nature that unites and breaks relationships.  It creates waves into the expanse of consciousness.  I have to be aware of my words.  I have to remind myself that my words have all sorts of impact, not only upon myself but with others too, constantly.   My thoughts have to work with the energy of love for my words to come out right, out of my mouth.  Every words shape lives and they drive behavio
