The Blessed Life

Whether it is love, my time, my presence or my thought - what I give out, Divinity returns it.  When I give, I will receive.  At times, what I receive in return can be ten folds or more.  It is the Universal law - what I give out is what I get back it.  When I want something, give it. However, the giving has to be from my heart.  When there is no heart behind the intention, then I should not give at all.  I should not be giving out something and expect something in return.  When I give, it has to be unconditional with no strings attached. The conscience, while giving, is important.  I cannot give to make the receiver feels obligated.  Nor, I hope the receiver will remember my act forever.  I have to be a cheerful happy giver, not reluctantly or under compulsion. The love in my heart is not put to stay.  Love is not love till I give it away.  Only by giving, I am able to receive more than I already have.  Giving opens the way for receiving.  Importantly, it is not how much I give but ho

Success goes to the doer and not the dreamer.  I can dream, and continue dreaming, and when I am not executing it, it will remain just a dream.  I have to live my dream and be proactive to take actions.  Actions defined success whereas dreams can be cheap.  To dream without the support of action means nothing. I must have passion and great enthusiasm in life, in all that I am doing and dreaming.  I should have a burning desire that gives life its full meaning.  To possess a burning desire in life, I need to have a strong positive mental attitude. How badly do I want something?  Having a deep burning desire to achieve something is a sign that I have the potential to do it.  I have to build on this believe to make the big difference.   To make a change in life, there needs to be a deep reason.  There must be a strong drive and a strong why.  When I am not sure whether something is a burning desire or not, it almost certainly is not.   For this reason, knowing what I really want is not ea

I cannot and must not dismiss that there are better people than me.  They have good career, income, social status and lead successful lives.  They have better educational qualifications.  They have aplenty life experiences.  They are influencers to motivate others.  They are leaders in their fields. I recognize these people and I am blessed and thankful that I get to know them.  With all their successes, I get to learn about good habits.  Generally, these individuals know what they want in their lives.  They set goals, focus on the positive, share information and embrace change. I should congratulate these individuals.  They have earned their dues from their hard work.  Let their status reminds me that success is possible.  Let their achievements inspire me. May this recognition make me to deal with myself.  I have to believe that success comes from the heart.  It is a gift for which to be grateful.  I must have solid resolution to succeed at work, at home and in life. I resolve to mak

When I fully accept my flaws - the errors, the mistakes and all the wrong doings - within me, the lighter I shall feel.  But, I cannot lightly accept them.  It has to be done with full wanting, full realization and full acceptance.  I must not give excuses for my bad attitudes, bad behaviours and bad manners. Acceptance is a tricky word.  It is an active verb to mean that I have to know what I really am.  That, I have to take it in and be non judgmental about myself (and others). I have to look into my attitudes, behaviours and manners.  In the way I think, the way I speak and how I act and react to every situations.  Is my body language showing compassion?  What about the tone of my voice?  Is it a tone of arrogance?  What about my words?  Are they encouraging and positive?  When communicating, do I engage or do I debate? Should I want to reform, I have to accept the ways of my actions.  How aware am I with my own outward bearing, the ways of behaving, towards others?  How can I ever

The mind is always hard at work all the time.  It picks up everything from what the senses feel, hear, see, touch and taste.  Each of these senses is a tool where the mind uses to build a clear picture of what life means.  From there, it allows the learning process and decisions making about the world. I have to be conscious to be kind to the mind.  My consciousness needs to nurture the mind so that all the data collected from my sensory organs is in touch with the purpose of the soul.  It has to work together and not against each other. I have to take time to allow my mind to rest, to slow down and recuperate whenever it needs.  I should not let it overworked.  It is good to practice daily meditation to calm down the mind.  Or, taking a walk in the nature to ground it.  A walk in nature walks the mind back to innocence. The mind learns from repetition.  It is important I speak to my mind often on what I want out of life.  When I want peace, for instance, I have to repeatedly let the m

To be a good human, I need to know what empathy is.  To be a better human, I have to comprehend what suffering is.  I cannot think I know and yet be oblivious to sense other people's thinking and, more importantly, their feelings.  Thinking and knowing are totally different.  And, I should not even try at assuming. To understand another, I have to know how he or she feels.  Do I have the ability to identify and understand another person's emotions?  Does my limited experience qualify me that I truly care for others, the way my intellect thinks I do?  Do I react with others with my IQ or EQ?  Am I swayed by arrogance to think my intellect knows it all, all the time? I have to find time to know and how much I know.  Have I really gone through the feeling of abandonment, betrayal, hurt, neglected, pain (the list goes on) before?  Have I dealt with grief of losing a loved one?   Have I been misjudged, threatened and struggled to prove my innocence?  Have I been without money? It is

The relationship I should care for the most is the one with myself.  This relationship is the only one that I can be at peace with.  When I choose to be in a relationship with my soul, I embrace the deepest meaningful connection.  It is a relationship that guarantees inner peace and heightens the connection with the Divine. When I am in love with my soul, I shall be in love with life.  I shall be in love with the Creator that creates me.  My soul is a perfect soulmate.  It is a perfect partner to live a happy and peaceful life.  My soul loves me unconditionally.  My soul totally accepts me.  This is a connection of divine quality that leads towards a rich earthly life. I have to deepen my connection with my soul.  I have to make more efforts to communicate with him.  Surely, my soul wants me to do that.  This communication will enrich deep respect between the two of us.  I have faith that my soul will take good care of me. Acknowledging my soul as my ideal soul mate completes me.  My s

A doctor will not be able to help me when I cannot describe the detailed symptom to him.  Likewise, should I want to get healed, I need to know what is actually wrong with me.  I have to be able to describe it all.  I need to be specific.  I have to know what is truly my problem deep inside. The body is intelligent and it can heal itself.  But it needs complete honesty where the mind, body and soul come together to conspire in a common language.  There has to be one congruent mindset.  There has to be total agreement and harmony.   Healing will not take place when there is conflicting consciousness. I have to be open and honest with my problem.  I should not hide away or bury anything.  I have to openly talk about it.  Knowing how my mind works is the first step.  It is crucial.   Is my mind dominantly negative or positive?  What about my self-talk?  Do I critically analyze every details and doubt at almost all circumstances? When I totally accept who I am, with all my flaws and imperf

The pandemic has brought my world to a standstill.  While I pray for the well being of humanity and Mother Earth during this challenging time, the pandemic has given me great opportunity about coming home to within myself.  Somewhat, I feel peaceful.  Somehow, I feel an increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. The lockdown slows down my pace for a good opportunity to visit on self knowledge.  It is a good time to discover things that I have taken for granted all these times. The social inactivity forces me to pay more attention to who am I.  It is the perfect timing to go deeper about knowing myself.  It is the time to listen to my body.  How is my physical body coping?  What are the dominant thoughts in my mental body?  Why is my emotional body feels in a certain way?  Where has my spiritual body taken me? Self knowledge is important as it offers a route to greater happiness and fulfilment.  A lack of self knowledge has greater chance of making errors in

When I become addicted to material things in life, my true natural life will run away from me.  While these things give me certain comfort, it can sabotage my true happiness in life. As a human, I have to be grounded.  I have to be warned not to heavily rely on the material things of this world.  I should not be too attached to what this world is offering me. Too much of worldliness voids me.  The instant gratification will make me to forget that these things are temporary.  That I will not be able to bring them when I depart from this world. I have to be humble to receive all of God's gifts.  The abundance and the good fortune are not to ride on my pride.  Yes, the quality of having these things can make me to feel blessed.  But, pride can be my downfall. I have to be mindful not to let the material things dominate every waking moment of my life.  There are reasons to every accomplishments.  How did I earn them?  Why have I been rewarded?  What is the purpose of acquiring them?  W
