The Blessed Life

Everything that happens right in front of me is an opportunity for deep realization.  Everything I am witnessing has subtle messages.  Everything I feel, from events of outside me, is the lost feeling that I have learned to ignore within. When someone is emotional about something, that mental state is mine too.  It may not be very same but the coincidence has to do with something deep within me.  It has to do with past memories which are now asking to be addressed.  They are asking for me to take full responsibility.  They are related with my past that I chose to bury them. All events outside of me has higher purpose.  They are reaching out so that my consciousness is heightened.  They happen so that I can live a wise life.  They happen so that I have the opportunity to repent.  They happen so that I can pray to make things right.  They happen to give life a second chance. It is the Divine's way to provide opportunities that empower me in life.  I have to understand this process. 

Whatever emotions I am experiencing are a payback.  They are the invested results from my thoughts, my actions and from what I deeply feel inside.  These emotional paybacks are reminding me that I should watch my thoughts, observe my actions and words and be aware of my feelings.  They are teaching me what I give out will come back to me, eventually. The feelings of anger, hurt, sadness and all other negative emotions I feel within me are the sum total of my own doing.  The more I am complaining, criticizing and hurting others, the greater the pain I shall feel.  Pain begets pain.  What I throw out bounces back.  Should I want to stop hurting myself, I must get rid of my negative attitudes and becoming loving instead. Should I want my life to be filled with love, I have to be the source of love.  Love knows that nothing is ever needed but more love.  It is what I do with my heart that affects my environment.  Every little things in life count.  Even the smallest of things creates waves

I have to honour how far I have come.  Be it good or bad, it is good that I accept the situation.  It is good to acknowledge all the efforts I have had put in.  Today has the power to change what I had done yesterday.  And, it has the power to shape my future too.   Should I feel I fail yesterday, I can make it right today.  Should I feel I have made an accomplishment, it is good to try new things next.  What is important is to keep trying to gain new experiences so that I have new things to work towards. Life is such where there are always new things to be learned and new skills to be had.  All it takes is going there and doing them.  I need to live to start where I am.  I need to use what I have and do what I can. Where I am right now, here and now, allows me to reflect back on the past and project forward into the future.  It is a beautiful spot to act for something better.  Today has the power for me to choose what I want to do and do it well.  Choosing to live in the past or the f

Yesterday, I was sharing about my dream in some group chat.   Some friends reached out and comforted me.  I felt loved and I felt blessed that some Angels were sent to me.  They gave me beautiful insights to remind me how to live.  These Angels touched my soul and I was reminded, in good ways, to acknowledge and accept my bleeding heart.  I was guided on how to live and how to find the strength moving forward. I feel blessed to be surrounded with good people.  Their vast experience, good wisdom and learned knowledge provide me with good life lessons.  They are the comforters and the healers.  'Thank You' will not be good enough to express my deepest gratitude to them.   I pray that my prayers for them are answered, that they shall be blessed always.  Oh God, please bless all these good people, please. At the same time, yesterday reminded me that I have many faults.  I make mistakes repeatedly.  I keep doing silly things.  I am trapped in a vicious cycle.  Don't I have any r

All that I am doing, day in day out, is walking on a one way street.  There might be twists and turns, or a round about, and the ultimate is to reach the end, the final destination.  The street where I completed the earthly journey and to meet with the inevitable - Death.   There is no other end option available. That is what life is.  I should not fear the end but to enjoy the journey.  I should not put all my focus on it as it will happen somehow.  Instead, I have to keep walking and finding meaningful experiences to enrich my purpose with each and every step.  Along the way, I should stop and enjoy the smell of the roses and be one with nature. Life continues no matter what is.  But, the way I think matters.  I cannot and should not burden it with negativity.  I should let my thoughts be a happy one.  Any problems I encounter are not stop signs but they are guidelines.  Any successes I accomplished are not permanent too. As I keep walking, I should not overlook at life's small j

I pray for the world I live in.  I pray for my country.  I pray for my countrymen.  I pray for humanity.  I pray for my loved ones, my family, my friends and for myself.  I pray for better days ahead. What the world needs now is more than love.  What humans' need, as one, is peace of mind.  Humans need to feel safe again.  No one saw that the world, where you and I live in, will come to a standstill.  There are millions lost their jobs, millions lost their lives, millions lost their loved ones and millions suffered from a severe flu like ailment. The lock down has caused some forms of stress among us.  It changes social behaviours.  It alters the ways of lives, the way humans think.  There are many new normal at work, at home and everywhere in between. The vibration of the world has changed.  Is there something that Mother Earth wants the world to change?  Is she crying and suffering?  What does she want from humans?  Or, is the Universe has a bigger role in what is happening to Mo

Life moves forward and not backward.  When another new day comes, yesterday has left me completely.  I cannot rewind nor can I edit all the past actions.  My acts acted and words spoken spoken.   There is nothing else I can change.  Such, it is important that I am conscious with what I am doing, with what I am saying.   To regret is too late.  It has reflected badly on my conscience.  It shows I am not making good, not only for myself but with those I interact.  Worse, I am not giving life a chance to be beautiful.  I have to think how I want to live.  Against time, I have only one chance at doing things right.   Time has to be my friend.  As I am older each day, all that is important is to have more good days.  Should I have cried harder before, I want to laugh louder next.  I yearn to be surrounded by good loving things.   I want to live a peaceful life, be happy and let whatever days left be spent with meaning.  It is wise to stay good and be respectful towards anything and everythi

With love to Marie Kondo, a Japanese organizing consultant, I learn the term 'Spark Joy'.  It teaches me on the importance to keep things that only sparks joy.  The idea of sparking joy is to live with the tidied important things, minus all the junks and clutters.   The effect from these organized and sorted main essential items will let me to experience true joy. Holding on to too many unimportant things will not make life easy.  It makes me stuck and inflexible.  I will end up with an attitude of not willing to change nor compromise.  A cluttered mind, a cluttered personal space will not let me breathe peace.  It will not give me emotional and mental clarity. When I de-clutter my mind together with my personal space, it will be easier for me to let things go.  There is definitely freedom in a vacuum.  De-cluttering allows me to create more space for good things to fill in.   The act is a reset button to start things all over again on a clean slate.  It is also about change wi

There have to be meanings for everything.  They are the main ingredients to make lives meaningful.  Having a sense of meaning brings fulfillment with purpose.  They make lives useful.  And, to make my life to be useful, I have to love my purpose.  I have to love all the best possible meanings for all my thoughts and actions. Because I love my parents, for example, I will do whatever to make us happy a lifetime.  Because I love God, I ask Him to provide peace in my life.  Because I love life and I wish to find the how to make me happy.  Because I love you and I must live to be good at loving you. There is nothing in the world I would not do because of love.  In the endless pursuit of happiness, happiness should not be the goal.  By itself, happiness does not give a full meaning to life.  It is merely a by-product of being useful. What really makes me happy is when I can be useful, when I am useful.  When I can create something to bring meaning to myself and the world.  When I create use

The pandemic has made travel rather impossible.  Even when it is possible, there are now strict restrictions.  There are pandemic control regulations every where in the world.  Serving the Stay Home Notice is a must and quarantine violations carry heavy penalty. This current situation is a good call for me to travel within.  It is about coming home, a journey within, to my soul and tame my mind.  It is taking the opportunity to give attention to what is within me. Taking a trip on the journey within makes me to gain knowledge and understanding of who I am and what makes me me.  When I get to know myself better, I get to know who I truly am and what I can achieve.  I have to find time to take on this journey. Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher, says 'One who knows others becomes wise, but one who knows himself becomes enlightened'.  The journey within will make me to understand my own nature.   It is about getting in touch with what I already am.  As I sit and contemplate on this
