The Blessed Life

I am opening my heart and be ready to love.  I have to be open to opportunity.  I have to accept humane efforts are being made.  I have to be thankful and not to resist. For the love of humanity, I say a little prayer for Mother Earth.  While I am not capable to understand the bigger purpose on why such a virus found a host and got to live and grow, causing a global pandemic, I accept there's a divine reason to it.  Can intellectual human minds explain and rationalize it? Divinity has its own way of correcting Life.  It has its unique way to sustain liveability.  As an individual, as a soul, I can only pray.  Hopefully, my little prayer be a stimulus to something better.  Let Mother Earth and every inhabitants be safe. The most empowering thing I can do is give myself permission to fully love Life.  I am thankful to medical science.  I am thankful at groups of evolved minds to develop vaccines.  I am thankful for their dedication and their loving determination to sustain Life at la

Love runs the world.  Love gives humans the assurance that we are not alone.  Everyone, regardless of age, gender or physical and mental health, needs love and affection.  Every souls use love to drive them in what they do in life. When I want to have love, I have to open my heart and give love.  Giving love is as important as receiving it in the quest for happiness.  When I give love freely, it returns to me.  To live a meaningful life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in. When I want to give love, it has be without any personal agenda or gain.  It is pouring unconditional love, wholehearted support in any way I can.  Love can be with my presence, with my words, with my energy, with my compassion or with my time.  A beautiful expression of love is to want the best for someone whether it includes me or not. The love that I give is the love I will receive.  Should I want to live a life that is surrounded by love, I have to give love to others.  I must give it genuinely

A well lived life is when I allow myself to flow with opportunities.  When life gives me lemons, I shall make lemonade.  The more I push against something that is coming towards me, the more it won't go away.  What I resist, persists. It is the gravity of life.  As Abraham Hicks, an American inspirational speaker says 'If you focus upon whatever you want, you will attract whatever you want.  If you focus upon the lack of what you want, you will attract more of the lack'.  Hence, it is important I enjoy what I am doing and never regret.  It is better to take the chance and look forward. It will do me good, and let me be a happier human, should I be adaptable in life.  I have to flow with whatever is in front of me.  When I flow, I give permission to let things happen and let them unfold naturally.  Everything is meant to be.  Going with the flow opens me up to the expansion of allowing in my life. Yes, it is good that I plan and have goals in life.  And, it is also good that

Self pity is a human thing and I should not let the feeling to destroy me.  It is an indulgence into a state of being where there is something just not right with the way to live.  It is a sorry feeling to get attention that can backfire.  Sadly, too much of self pity is not healthy. Self pity can ruin my well being.  It is a self destructive emotion where I will likely grow to believe there is not anyone or anything that can help me to feel better.  Self pity creates an unhealthy cycle.   I will grow to believe any effort I put, into changing my life, will be useless.  It can lead where I will not take any action and I will stay stuck in a dark place. I should not allow any sad or unfortunate circumstances to weigh me down.  To feel sadness is a normal healthy emotion.  But when I deeply choose to feel sorry for myself, I am not doing any good.   Should I trap myself to feel that way, I make myself a helpless victim.  I am being dramatic to magnify my misfortune and experience a sense

It is wise that I end my day, every day, with a reflection.  How the day had been?  What memories do I want to cherish?  What have I learned?  What do I want to surrender?  Why do I have to let go certain things? This exercise does not have to be extensive.  But, it has to be done mindfully.  There are just so many things that I can appreciate on a daily basis that I should not take them for granted.  The smallest things do count too. To make a special effort to appreciate the good things is a connection back to the Divine.  It is an act where I acknowledge my blessings.  It is a grateful gesture to reminisce the day's experiences, bad and good.  It is to help me to be open to accept for more opportunities ahead. Counting blessings becomes necessary not only for positive thinking but for the need of reassurance.  It is helping me to be grateful for what I have experienced and to caste away negative thoughts.  To count the blessings daily will make me to realize the good things I ha

There is a saying, "The grass is greener where you water it".  Indeed, it is telling me that I have to help myself to make my life better.  Nobody can help me but myself.  When I do no help to 'water' my own life, I will 'dry' out. Help is everywhere.  I am surrounded with bountiful of care and support, from family to friends and Google.  And, even God and the divine universe.  I am not short of loving hands to cheer me up, to make sure I can stand on my two feet.  But, the effort that I put in for myself counts the most.  I have to be in charge before the Universe can provide me further. At the end of the day, the only person I have is myself.  I have to love and help who I am.  All others can help me pick myself up and steer me in the right path but, ultimately, it is up to me whether I will follow that.  No one is in control of what I can be but myself. I need to believe in who I am.  I need to boost my courage and my confidence.  Self confidence is a quali

It is often said that there is a 'divine spark' presents in all humans.  It is the seed of God consciousness inside us.  It is the Divine flame to light up the being of all humans.  The light will guide humans out of the dark and ignite the spark to wake up to our true nature. When the soul is allowed to express itself, with the light within it, the clingy and needy ego no longer shall dominate.  In that state, humans can evolve to higher levels of understanding and awareness. All humans, with the divine spark within, have the power to influence one another.  With the light within me, I ought to take responsibility with my attitude and behaviour.  I have to be conscious of it.  I must not use it to manipulate others.  I should not control someone to my advantage.  I should not use it to abuse humanity. The humane way to use the divine spark is to help humanity to flourish.  Let the light, collectively, raises the vibrations of all humans.  In one breath, the light that burns wi

Should I want to stay relevant in this ever changing world I live in, I need to encourage myself to learn.  I cannot give excuses that I do not have the ability or the knowledge.  Even the disabled is showing me, he or she can do it.  Fact is, my body, mind and spirit is a vehicle for growth and I have to let it do its work. I cannot go on to let my failures to keep repeating.  I should not let myself down again and again.  Everything is possible.  What makes it not is my stubbornness, my negative attitude of not wanting to adapt and to improve.  Nothing will work unless I learn.   The more excuses I give, I am creating a block.  To resist will paralyze me.  I am not giving Divinity to make things right for me.  Yet, I desire for more good things?  How can the Universe provide me when I am not nudging myself to try to learn? Self improvement helps to enhance courage, confidence, improve mental health and heal my well being.  When I work on myself, I get to know myself better.  I get to

Let the beginning of the Lunar New Year reminds me of all things beautiful.  How the people around me play a part in shaping my world.  How every individuals build my life.  Each soul appears to provide meaning to me.  Each soul shows up to shine light for a purpose. I have to remember all the people who care for me.  There are some who send food for me.  Some who cook for me.  Some who buy me meals.  Some who help me to move heavy things.  Some who accompany to sort things out with me. Some who keep me safe.  Some who call me when it has been a tough day.  Some who are right by my side when I need company.  Some who smile at me.  Some who back me.  Some who pray for me. These individuals are my friends, family members, relatives and even perfect strangers. Today, I want the memories of all the deeds from these people be cherished.  I want to say a big 'Thank You'.  I want these individuals be blessed.  I want their deeds be rewarded. Every time I receive their good deeds, they

On this day, exactly four years ago, I faced my biggest challenge.  Life forced me to face my fears head on.  I was at the T-junction where either left or right turn spiked with apprehension. At the same instant, the door for self realization opened wide.  It was the day to build courage and strength.  It was the day to be on my own, to take charge and be independent.  It was the day, I relied on faith and God's love. It was the day that I experienced great support too.  To all the loving  individuals, family and friends, I will always remember your loving deeds.  "Thank you and God bless!" On this day, I learned what death can teach me. From that day, pains remind me that I am alive.  That, trying reminds me that I have hope.  And, mistakes remind me that I am still human. From a spiritual perspective, death is not death at all.  It is only the physical that dies.  Death is a natural part of life.  Death is a beautiful thing.  It is a celebration of life for those who le
