The Blessed Life

It shall be good that I accept what is told about me.  I cannot see myself like others see me.  The Johari Window shows that I have a blind spot where I do not realize but others do.   However, the willingness to accept what others say can be tricky.  Acceptance is an act that can be extremely difficult.  It can be extremely painful because accepting the really difficult things is an ego deflation.  Accepting what is told can feel like an acceptance that something has failed.   Eckhart Toile defines 'Acceptance' as an act to 'surrender to the now'.  Acceptance means allowing without struggling.  He adds 'Accept - then act.  Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.  Always work with it, not against it". Acceptance of what is frees me.  When I accept, there shall be no more bickering.  There shall be no more disagreement of who's right and who's wrong.  I have to allow myself to surrender to the now and stop fighting with t

Everything happens for good reasons and these reasons open doors of opportunities.  I have to think positively to accept that problems happen to teach me something.  They are to push me to grow.  They want me to overcome fears and be courageous.  They are to encourage me to change. In life, I need to change continually.  Change is constant.  It is the only way I can make things right.  Instead of looking at problems and blame them for unfortunate life events, I have to look at myself first.  I have to see whether there is anything I can improve. Problems occur because I am not flexible enough.  I am stuck with my old ways which are not capable of bending easily.  Failing to accept the truth life presents to me will trap me.  I will be in a situation where I can never seem to escape. Should I want to work with problems, I have to operate from a new belief that says life happens not to me but for me.  The uncomfortable things in life are there to teach me lessons.  While I cannot control

Peace of mind is powerful.  It is very important.  It is life saving.  When I can be rooted in myself with peace, nobody's absence or presence can affect me.  When there is peace within me, no one can disturb my inner peace. I have to get to know who I am and what I stand for in life.  I must spend time to understand the way I think and how I react to situations.  I should not hesitate to tell myself what I want, what will make me happy and why they are important.   My mind and my heart have to be good friends and not to be in conflicts. I have to remove the negativity in my life.  I have to take full responsibility for my actions and never, never to blame others.  When I blame others for my mistakes, I add toxic to my well being. Peace is not dependent on possessions and circumstances.  I must learn to remove what I do not like and which does not benefit me.  It is good that I learn to trust myself and to ease all my expectations.  I need to practice acceptance and to be contented

Somewhere along a life's journey, the feeling of fear can become an ongoing part of life.  It is an emotion where humans are not quite capable to bury such feeling completely.  The feeling comes and goes but yet, sometimes, it becomes trapped inside one's emotion. What actually happened that such a feeling becomes second nature?  What happened to life that takes away the feeling of excitement for what tomorrow holds? Fear is a common energy that runs through in life.  The fear of failure, the fear of rejection or fear that I am just not good enough.  I live in a world where I am told that only the fittest survives.  With such theory, it is a natural response to become fearful at any stage in life. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.  How I spend my time and with whom I spend it can reduce or heighten fear.  I have to build faith and trust and be mindful with what I allow to dwell in my mind. It is important that I recognize that life does not happen to me but for me.  When

When I think of blue, Ice Blue, I am thinking of the sky and the sea.  It is a colour associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition and expansiveness.  It also represents a colour of life that is full of depth, of trust, of loyalty, of sincerity and faith. When I want to be healthy, it is good to let my cellular consciousness be as cool as ice blue.  The ice blue in all my cells will calm the stress of life.  It shall make me to be peaceful and serene to function. The icy blue gives me a feeling of magnificent and transcendental.  It is a feeling that is hard to describe.  It is vibrational colour full of joy and of divine protection.  When I allow ice blue to grow within me, I am cleansing myself constantly. The more my mind, my body, my spirit is cleansed, there shall be good health.  With good health, there will be happiness.  There will be peace.  There will be fulfillment and satisfaction.  There will be courage to live for my full potential. Good health is important.  It makes

Let's be alive and let everyday be a good day for a good day.  Let each one of us learn from each other.  A selfish heart is an ever-consuming desert.  No matter how much water it gets, it still wants more.  Whereas, an unselfish heart is an ever-giving ocean.  No matter how much water it draws, it still has plenty to give. Be kind.  Be good.  Give love.  Happiness grows when there is kindness, there is goodness and there is love.  Happiness is always there.  I just have to choose to see it.  There is no point dwelling in the dark and ignoring the light of the stars. The things I do for myself are gone when I am gone.  But, the things I do for others can remain as loving memories.  When I am thankful to be alive, I should be grateful that I have others that I can live with.  When I can treasure life, it makes the world I live in a better place. I am a part of the whole big thing.  My true nationality is humankind and my only race is human.  I have to empower those around me by offe

Life is a journey where I have met many souls along my way.  From my Kampong Days to Schools and to colleagues from various Corporations.  And then there are the social acquaintances, friends and more friends.  At the same time, my family gets bigger with new members over the years. There are many that I have lost contacts with.  There are those whom I still have vivid memories.  And, there are handful that are still walking along with my journey.  I am sure I will meet new souls till the end of my time. Our lives cross for many reasons.  Definitely, our interactions are to bring meaning and purpose to our lives.  There are no coincidences but rich lessons on values shared.  We are teaching each other to learn to live.  We are supporting each other to grow to be human. For all that is shared, I will be forever grateful.  I may not have said it out loud nor I have shown it but I am thankful for every pieces of experiences shared.  Your presence has made me who I am today. To all these s

My thoughts are with those who have crossed over.  Thank you for sharing your lives with me.  Thank you for the opportunities where I am made to learn from our shared moments.  Surely, the times we spent together must have meanings, big and small. While we were together, we may never fully solve the greatest of all mysteries.  We may not fully fathom our shared journeys.  But they will continue long after we die, in another dimension and in another time. I love you and will always love all of you.  I may not feel you, or hear you, but I am certain you are always around.  You are not earth bound and your love, which has taken new signification and magnitude, allows you to be with me always. You tell me that all of you are safe.  There is nothing to worry and you do not want me to worry.  You want me to live.  You want me to be happy. As my thoughts are with them today, I reach out to the Divinity's Hand and humbly ask for forgiveness on their behalf.  I ask they be cleansed, purifie

Why procrastinate?  Why wait?  Why not now? Should I wait for a better time, I am not embracing living in the present.  At that instant, my life is on the snooze button.  And, when I keep snoozing, life is at a standstill and there shall be no progress.  The reason only the present matters is that everything happens here and now. Do I have to wait until I become rich to help somebody?  Do I wait until I feel better to be kind to another?  Do I postpone to finish a task because tomorrow will be a better day? Nothing is guaranteed and there is no perfect opportunity.  I have to create and nurture the present moment.  I have to ask myself this question - 'What is the decision that I need to be making that I am not making now?' I should not put off doing things when I want them to happen.  I have to be a Doer and not so much a Thinker.  There must be a balance between these two.  Yes, thinking is crucial and important but too much thinking paralyzes the opportunities.  My future ha

I can run, I can hide but I can never run and hide forever.  When I can accept that, I will accept the story of life.  I will never get to guess the exact date and time, but I will meet the end of the road one day.  Where my run runs out and there is no other place to hide. So here I am with a choice.  What do I want to do today?  Why I need to do it?  Where shall I find the ways to make life meaningful?  How consciously do I want to live till I am at the finished line? It is natural to wonder how best to live but do I know what constitutes a good or bad life?  I have to make sense with any of my preferred ways.  I should not simply follow the crowd and I should not complicate my choices.  Life is easy and I must not make it difficult. How should I live and how I do live are not necessarily the same.  A good life is a condition in which the soul will be the most happy.  It is a state in which the soul shall live with total virtue.  The joy and happiness which I carry in my heart shall
