The Blessed Life

Is life a constant struggle?  Is there a necessity to go through loss, disappointment and countless failures to turn life around?  Why can't good things be the status quo? Should there be no pain, there shall be no gain.  Should there be no heartaches, I will never get to learn to be positive.  Everything has to happen, both the good and the bad.  There is wisdom to every happening.  They are the given opportunity to learn, heal and grow. Choosing to reflect on life is necessary.  It is not an activity of wasting time.  It has to be done.  It is life's noblest appreciation.  It is where I get to ask why things happen.  It makes the world I live in to become softer and kinder place.  Reflection makes me to be grateful, no matter how hard or small. My actions can frame more positive outcomes when I commit to doing the work of learning.  I have to remember that life really is not all that complicated but I am.  More than often, it is the way I think that makes it worse. When I cho

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass.  I have to learn to embrace the storm and not to run from it.  It would be good that I look for the value it brings and to learn from the experience. While I may not see the sun during the storm, it will always be there.  There will always be better days after the storm has passed.  In the storm, I must learn to dance in the rain.  Facing the storm, I must not give up.  I have to face solving the challenges. A good life is when I learn to live, be it during the storm or on good times.  At all times, I should not hesitate and procrastinate but to do something good for myself.  I should not simply wait around for good time.  Good times start when I am doing something good, meaningful, purposeful and useful. It is normal that I will face storms in life.  That's the reality I have to face.  It is up to me to determine how I will respond.  But, I must also know that time and tide wait for no Man.  I must take action and be proactive.  Som

Whenever I think of being one with the Divine, I feel raised.  There is a sense of meaning, of purpose and a sense of self.  It makes me wanting to see my life in a bigger picture.  It encourages me to live as a divine being fully embracing my humanity.   It pieces every desires on my well being and the connection to all life forces. It nudges me to question my moral and spiritual awakening.  There are  constant thoughts whether I am living right, whether I can do better?  Whether I have learned any lessons usefully? Becoming a human is a great undertaking, especially when the duty is love.  When I am not giving a good definition to my existence, I will not live life fully.  But what is 'being human'?  What are the true intrinsic qualities of a human?  Why is there a need to understand about existence, or life specifically?  What are virtues of spiritual awakening? The divine feeling raises humans vibrations.  It fills me with love, that I am safe and never alone.  It challenge

Words are energy.  Such, I have to be conscious of my chosen words whenever I am communicating.  Whenever I self talk.  Whenever I am expressing my feelings, my thoughts.  When I want my life to be filled with everything positive, everything beautiful, so should be my words. Words manifest.  They grow with reality and time.  Words have many layers and are more than just a way to communicate.  They hold vibrations, have power.  I need to accept on this unique concept, especially when it is hard to grasp. I have to avoid saying 'poor thing'.  When I say someone a poor thing, or an incident a poor thing, or something a poor thing, I am empowering the poor state of being.  'Poor' in itself is a negative word and it compounds the situation.  It aggravates the flow to let it be better. Likewise,  when I am hopeful to be blessed and to receive abundance in life, I should avoid saying that I am in a poor situation.  Science has shown that negative words can affect on a deep psy

To tolerate is a great virtue.  Especially when life is surrounded with many differences, and of all kinds.  Especially when there are so many different choices to choose from.  Especially when humans' ways of lives are defined by their unique different backgrounds, customs, cultures and environments. Tolerance makes life possible for all humans to co-exist peacefully.  It is an act that is required for living with diversity.  It is essential in which humans can lead their lives the way they wish. Being tolerant opens a heart.  It means that I accept other people's opinions and their preferences.  Tolerance also means that I should not put my opinions above others to make myself looks good. Do I have to tolerate?  When I cannot, it shows that I have an internal problem.  What I see in others exist in me too.  When I can resolve that, I shall understand being a human with a heart. Do I have to keep on tolerating?  I have to ask myself if that makes me happier?  While I want to b

When I want to do something, want to give something or share something, it has to be done for the love of it.  It should not be done, given or shared for a conditional reason.  And, it must not be.  When it is done, given or shared for love, it awakens the soul and lits the divine flame in the heart to bring peace to the mind. I should not be doing, giving and sharing something out of pity.  Or, out of my needs to be rewarded.  Or, because I want to be seen as the kindest good person.  Or, I am showing off my intellect that I think I know more things. For the love of life, everything is beautiful when things are done, given or shared from the purest of the heart.  Where, for the love, the end result does not matter.  What matters is when the deeds provide a win win for everybody. When I want to do something, give something or share something, I should avoid counting on the cost.  The cost on my efforts or time.  Love should not tire me nor I feel I will have no more love left for me. 

There is no wasted time in life.  Every moment is relevant.  Every moment is important.  All the moments in our Life are God's Love to make us to become better humans. Every path we cross, in each moment of our lives, brings lessons and purposes.  Some may not be pleasing and might be painful as they happen.  Some might hurt. Good and bad moments are linear experiences.  They have to be unified as one.  They are meant to take place.  They happen for us to re-member back to God.  Knowing that, the greater truth will appear when we are grateful for them to have taken place.  All that we have to do is to fully accept them.   With acceptance, we learn at every experiences.  With acceptance, God will reach out to us and will make all things right by Him.  When it is right by Him, it shall be right by you. Thank you, all dear ones, for making my moments. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. - Carl W Buechner When I am gone, I am gone.  What sh

Life is always about choices.  And, just because I can make a choice, does not mean I should.  Some things are better left alone.  At times, it is good to do nothing.  Really nothing. When I can turn off all distractions, it allows space for my subconscious to expand.  It allows me to be in the moment and let me be one with my soul.  It is at this stage of doing nothing that gives me to think for a larger sense of purpose.  When I choose to leave things alone, I will be in a state of non interference. To do nothing is a chance to slow down.  To leave things alone is to let the Universe to make things right.  These acts are not about losing in motivation nor to make me to lose hope in life.  These acts are to allow me to surrender.  Surrender is a journey from outer busyness to inner peace. The moment of surrender is not when life is over.  It is when life begins.  Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher says 'To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders'.   Surrendering do

When I want to complain, I have to be mindful.  Complaining is an emotion signalling that I am unable to comprehend another's acts.  It is a lack of empathy on my part.  It is me jumping into conclusion.  Without full realization, it is the ego that says 'Hey, I am the good one.' When I am full of annoyance about something, I must step up.  Not doing anything will not improve the situation.  It is useless, and a wasted energy, to continue to express dissatisfaction and insisting not to let things go.  Complaining, definitely, is not going to harmonize any situations. Obviously I am affected when I am complaining.  What I am dismissing here, there are deep issues that I have not completely resolved within me.  It is always very easy to shift the blame elsewhere.  When I shift it, my ego does not get hurt.  This is the hard truth. Instead of complaining, I have four alternatives.   First:  I can stand up and I can voice up.  I can share what I think, though it may not be the

There is good in everything.  It is just how I choose to look at it.  Everything that has worth has a price.  Everything that happens is meant to be.  Everything happens for good reasons. Everything that I am experiencing, day by day, is teaching me something.  They are to let me to embrace life and to be a better person.  Every person I meet, every happening that is happening, has purpose.  A much higher purpose.   All I need to do, day by day, is to stay positive and think positive.  What's meant to be will always find a way. Life is tagged with Universal Laws.  It includes the Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Attractions and the Law of Reflection.   Understanding them will make me positive.  Understanding them will let me to participate in life.  Understanding them makes me to flow with opportunities easier. There is no point in resisting when everything is meant to be.  I may not agree but eventually things will fall into place.  I am the creator of the life that I have been
