The Blessed Life

When I cannot be kind to others, I cannot hurt them too.  I should not, intentionally, flame off their lights.  I hold no right to do that.  I should avoid thinking I am always good, much clever and perpetually wise.  By what measures do I think I have 'eaten more salt than they have of rice'? When I think I am hurt, I need to learn to turn the pains into wisdom.  I need to heal the wounds without blaming others.  Instead, I should spend the time to look at the light within me.   I have to own my actions, my feelings, my thoughts and take full responsibility of them.  What have I created within me to cause the pain, for me and for others? While I am what I am, unique in my own ways, I am not special.  I am just an ordinary living human committed to clean my own perceptions, thoughts and tendencies.  Such, I cannot exert others.  Nor should I impose on them. It is the love for the light within that lights humanity and the world.  It is the only light that gives the most beautifu

To be kind takes a lot of effort.  It takes both awareness and consciousness.  It requires mindfulness and the understanding toward Love.  It is an alignment process of a human with the soul, the very thing that breathes life for humanity sake. Kindness begins with respect.  It needs the kindness of the heart and actions.  It needs me to watch my mouth, my words.  The words of kindness heal the world.  Just like the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes bitterness, hate, grudges, ill will to evaporate. When I want compassion in my life, I have to give compassion.  Kindness begets kindness.  Being kind not only makes the world a better place but for humans to feel good too.  What's more, it has a positive impact on myself as well. Kindness is more important than wisdom.  It is an act where it makes the deaf can hear and the blind can see.  It transforms hurt and heals the pain.  When I do not know about how others live and never in their shoes, I should not judge but be kind.  Kindnes

Next to prayer, the next best thing that I should instill inside me is to boost my immune system.  It is what I have to do with the ongoing pandemic, which is experiencing new wave with the new variant.  I have to help myself to help the world. I have to let go all negativities.  I have to stop being angry, being bitter, being resentful and being uptight.  These negative emotions are not going to help my immune system.  These negative emotions will make me vulnerable. Is this what the virus wants from humanity?  That we extinguish all negativities on Mother Earth?  That we focus on the next best thing, that is love and only love? Not letting go of all these negativities will not help my body to heal itself.  It will not aid nor support the divine inside me.  For the body to heal itself, for my immune system to boost, it needs both the mind and the divine within to work together, in total partnership. The health being on my mental and emotional is important.  My emotions affect my immun

As many other humans, like them, I have different perspectives on life.  There are times that I take different decisions in life each day based on my conviction.  I may take wrong or right decision, knowingly or unknowingly.   I may regard the decision of others as right or wrong.  I may have a right or wrong reasons to judge others.  I have a choice to condemn or uplift others, regardless of their situations. These are humans' weaknesses.  They could be mine too.  That the mind is often drifting.  That the mind is often thinking and wondering.  This is to show that humans are flawed; that I am flawed.  That, I have to work on myself constantly.  That, I have to keep on reflecting and bring my mind back to the presence. While I can always close my eyes and be in the world of oblivion, sadly the mind cannot stop from shutting down.  The mind has been conditioned to think, even on issues that do not concern me.  Mentally I may deny that I do not think unnecessarily, but the emotions

Peace is very dear for my well being.  It relaxes my mind and makes life beautiful.  It fills my soul to appreciate what I have, what I can do.  Peace makes me to acknowledge and to accept reality.  It stops me from measuring myself against the odds in life. As I go about my day, I want to be filled with peace.  I have to remind myself to calm my mind, to watch my words and to appreciate every moments.  While I have no control on everything outside of me, I can control what is inside me. The more I take charge of my actions, my feelings, my thoughts, my words, the more I am in charge with the ways to live.  I should not be chasing the rainbows.  I should not make myself to be busy all the time.  I need to have time to enjoy and to have quality time with myself. It is possible to live a simpler life, where I can enjoy what I like to do and find my internal peaceful place.  When I want to live a peaceful life, I have to slow down.  Rushing to complete every tasks and not taking the time

However many meaningful words I read ..  However many inspirational quotes I hear ..  However many motivational writings I come across ..  Nothing will be good to me if I do not act upon them. Inspirational quotes and meaningful sayings have great ability to change the way I feel about life.  They are insightful.  They transform the quality of life.   But, should my mind is rejecting to realize what they can offer me, I lose the divine connection.  When I fail, I fail to progress. Understanding them is crucial.  However, it shall be just words should I do not believe and internalize them.  Internalization has great impact.  I have to live by those beautiful insights to improve the way I live.   I have to integrate them into my attitude, my values and make them into sense of self.  The only way for me to live with these insights is by repetition.  I have to use them like a mantra.  Repetition is the mother of learning. When they are one with my consciousness, it strengthens my dominant

Life is a blank slate and I fill it in to make the story.  But, at the end of the day, what I do matters most.  The things that matter most are the things I act and not simply just think or sit on them.  That I made them to be meaningful.  That I embraced them to provide me with joy and uplifted my spirit. Every day is giving me the chance to make things matter.  What I do each day matters.  I should stop giving excuses.  When there is love and when the matters matter, I should make the time.  When there is love, there is always time and nothing is too much trouble. For the sake of my well being, it is important that I know what really matters to me.  I have to create the time and space to listen to my heart and my soul.  It does not matter what others are doing.  What is, is that I know what I am doing. I create my happiness.  I create my peace.  In life, it does not matter what people say about me but what is important is what I say about myself.  What matters is how I see myself.  I

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
