The Blessed Life

I receive this beautiful message and it makes me thinking.  The message reads 'Be certain that you do not die without having done something wonderful for humanity - by Maya Angelou (an American poet)'. Have I contributed anything meaningful to humanity?  Have I done enough charity works to build a sustainable future for humanity?  Whom do I live for, other than for my own survival? As I ponder, it reminds me of another message.  There's a line, 'ants are busy too', that strikes me.  Ants are busy insects and each one of them cares enough for their colonies.  They do many busy jobs that are important else the colony might die without combined efforts.  It is in togetherness that determines for the colony to survive. Is my life too busy or that I care less about the world around me?  What can I do to the people whom I can be useful to?  Don't I want to make my world, the worlds of my loved ones and others a happier place to live together? What are the reasons for

Rumi says 'We are born of love' and he adds 'Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love'.  I have to remember that I am born of love and that is what I am.  There is a seed of love inside me from the day I was born.   I must not turn love into something negative and abuse it.  Nor should I do something that is not love.  When I do not honour the seed of love inside of me, I am shunning away from making myself a human. Wherever I am, whatever I do, I need to do things out of love.  Out of kindness from my heart.  Out of the divine light I have been entrusted with.  I am the creator of my own actions.  Whatever I do, wherever I am, will rig in my favor. My task is to ensure that I stay love and not to seek for love.  I need to make love shines and it will be good that I spread it too.  What matters, at all time, is what I feel about the choice I make.  My soul must be at peace.   I must not let love die within me.  Without love, my world will not be in my favor.  L

 As a human, understanding others opens up the possibility of seeing and understanding situations from different perspectives.  Understanding is a behaviour that makes people human.  When there is sympathetic awareness, there shall be freedom from doubts and suspicions. When something is meaningfully understood, it creates better relationship, better socialization.  It builds trust and improves bonding between individuals.  With understanding, there is acceptance that all humans are created equal, at a deeper level. Understanding is an act of love.  It is the first step to acceptance.  It is a feeling so important that it adds value to life.  It softens the heart.  It fuels the emotional and intellectual growth. Understanding others means I need to experience their emotions. I need to have lots of empathy.  I have to put myself in their shoes and walk their walks.  I must remind myself not to judge as I do not know their full stories.  I have to show them that I care, that they are sig

I have to appreciate my life.  I have to be thankful that I am able to create something while I am still breathing.  Acknowledging the good that I have in life is the foundation for all abundance.  The more I am thankful, the more I verbalize my gratitude, the door of abundance shall open wide. It is always important to reflect on all of the blessings I have.  And, as I express my gratitude towards life, I must not forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words.  It is how I live by them. I have to be useful.  When I am useful, I am creating life.  When I make myself useful, I shall be filled with happiness.  Happiness is the by product of being useful.  Being useful is a mindset and it starts with a decision. What useful thing or things have I done in my lifetime?  I do not have to change the world but I can make life a little better.  What have I done that is making a difference, not only for myself but for my family, my friends and the community I care? Am I alive or

When I surrender, the Universe will take good care of my being.  I have to trust the process of life.  The more I fight and dictate how my life has to be, the struggle to stay afloat will drown me instead.  While it is good to plan ahead, it is also good to accept the spiritual law of acceptance. It will do me good to consciously drop all forms of resistance in life.  I have to let life flows and unfolds itself without getting in its way.  I have to trust that the Universe cares about me.   Everything happens for good reason.  This statement has to stay in my mind at all time.  It guides and protects me from over react.  It makes me to check my attitudes towards life.  When I can accept it, it is easy to realize the reason why the situation has to happen.  Someday, I will look back and laugh at the confusion as everything will make sense. There are no coincidences in life.  Every person I meet and every situation that happens are part of the plan to make me a better human.  I have to l

Here I am on Mother Earth, on this physical plane, I am sure that all my four bodies (the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional) where they are put to life have knowingly and unknowingly made some degrees of wrong doings towards you. As I reach for the Divine hand, on this beautiful day, to make things good and right for me, I am also doing the same to you. With prayers, please forgive me. Please forgive me. Please forgive me. I am sorry for all the hurt done knowingly and unknowingly to you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

When I acknowledge the souls of every individuals, I acknowledge divinity.  There is beauty in everyone.  There's something beautiful in every human.  After all, human beings are members of a whole in creation. My life will be meaningful when I embrace the ability to acknowledge that all humans are unique, no matter what.  I have to find positivity in everybody I come across with.  I need to encourage my mindset to seek the good in everyone.  When I can do that, respect begets respect. Finding positivity in life will put my world to be a better place for me to live in.  It will tame my judgement, bend my critical mind and soften my demanding behaviour.  It will make me to be at peace with myself and with everyone else.  And, hopefully, it makes me happier too. Negativity destroys me.  It builds antagonism.  It creates negative attitudes and feelings.  To live with negativity, where I am complaining about anything and everything, can affect my health.  Negativity divides and that ca

Why mistakes keep repeating?  Don't have I learned from any of them? What is causing this constant recurring of events?  Is it a cycle of "history repeats itself"?   What exactly have gone wrong? For a start, I have to accept that it is the work of my ego.  I have allowed it to be assertive in every expressions out from all my opinions.  This is a sure possibility, without doubt.  There is a big difference between being mentally strong and simply having a big ego. A big ego is about arrogance.  It is never about confidence. Secondly, it has to do with the degree on self realization.  Obviously, with less or no realization, I am vulnerable to get hung up on/with labels.  I open and let my intellect with opportunity to authorize that my thinking is (and must be) always right.   My intellect, which has no sense of right and wrong, undertakes that it knows everything.  Does that mean that all things I know make sense?  Is intellect a self-centered mindset? What is intellect? 

Love and peace of mind protect me.  They are like the air that I breathe to sustain my life.  They allow me to overcome problems that life hands on me.  They teach me to survive, to live  and to have the courage to face each day. Nothing in life is to be feared.  I must not live in fear.  Life is about to be understood.  Life is about living it.  And there are no problems that cannot be resolved.  When I have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give my best, problems become my guidelines. The secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.  I should not live in oblivion.  I cannot solve my problems with the same thinking I used when I created them.  All I need is a paradigm shift to have the ability to face uncertainties with optimism. Life is about creating myself- the purpose, and not about finding who I am.  When I live with my divine light within me, everything in my life is defined.  Acknowledging the light, I go through life and I

I will go nowhere in this world should I think I am better than everyone else.  That I think I know more than everyone else.  That I assume my knowledge on all subjects is more than everyone else.  That I believe my experiences are far greater than everyone else. Should my ego is uncontrollable, it is the beginning of my troubles.  Ego overshadows everything.  It takes away the sense of rationality.  It forces me to make everything about myself. I have to listen to myself, my words and my tone.  I have to observe my body language, my facial expressions.  When I talk, must I be heard at any cost?  Can I see the positive in others or do I prefer to see only the worst in them? When I want to learn new things, I need to let go of my ego.  Too much ego makes me stubborn and that stops me from listening to others.  It drives me not to ask for help from people who might know better than me. I must learn to be humble, and stay humble, regardless of what I have in my life.  It is ok to expose m
