The Blessed Life

As a human, I make mistakes.  I have to own them.  I must not shift my faults to others.  Shifting to make others be responsible for my mistakes reflects badly on me.  When I cannot take full responsibility on my bad acts and judgement, will the divine light within me get brighter? I need to check my pride.  Too much of it alters communication and connection.  Too think so highly of myself will make me to focus on the downside of others instead of their beauty, no matter how significant.  How can I allow myself to think such thing when all men are created equal. Should I put myself high up on a pedestal, it changes my relationship with others.  It can ruin on the ways I live to reach out to them.  I need to stay humble, regardless of any achievements. Success and material accomplishments are temporary.  Plus, I do not get to bring them with me on the day I leave this world.  Getting myself too attached with them all will, unconsciously, make me to lose humility. Pride is a crime where

I need to remember this wisdom, always.  You said (something like) "Do not complain the mess on your neighbour's front door when there's ton of untidy state of things at your backyard". I want to be reminded too with this: "how people treat me is their karma; how I react is mine".    Yes! I should not judge.  When I do not want to be judged, then I should not judge others.  I should learn to refrain from negative utterances in all conversations - when making comments, when giving opinions, when telling jokes and when sharing - at all time. Life is like a boomerang.  When I throw it out, it keeps coming back at me.   Life is like an echo.  When I shout, it yells back at me. To be upset when others are judging me is the result of my own doing.  What I give out is what I get back.  I am my own greatest enemy.  I am the one that sabotages myself.  It is circle in the sand - what goes around, comes around. The law of cause and effect is unbiased.  As I sow, so sh

Kindness facilitates humans to understand and reducing the chances of friction and conflict.  It is an act, a moral code, that makes interaction among humans gainful.  It imparts richness and ethical beauty to social dealings. Kindness is selfless, compassionate and merciful.  To be a good human, I have to be kind to one another.  It includes in all my acts, my words and my thoughts.  It is good that I nurture my heart to be tender and that I easily forgive. The more I practice kindness, I will experience positive mental and physical changes.  My acts have to be friendly, generous and considerate.  My thoughts have to be filled with love and peace interacting with others. In everything that I do, I must do to others what I would have them do to me.  When I want to be kind, I must not think to gain any explicit reward or to avoid certain punishment.  My acts of kindness are to strengthen relationships.  They are to give me a sense of joy, peace of mind and the fulfillment to be a human.

Should I go by the principle 'when I point a finger at someone, there are three fingers point back', I should accept that, yes! only my fart smells.  This acceptance should wake me up.  I have to own this realization.  I should take full responsibility.  And, I should fully be watchful that the smell does not affect others.  My duty is that I must be aware of what I am doing.  I must take charge not to impose on others. I have to learn to be sensitive.  I have to learn to love the fool in me.  I must not fight but accept all my imperfections.  Any struggles are futile but God's love is constant. I have to learn to know.  Then, when I know, I have to learn to know better.  Perhaps, by then, I will also be able to do better.  That is what kindness is too. I have to, continuously, make me a better person with a good soul.  After all, the most important value of Life is the happiness of the soul, not anything outside of it. To God, I love You and "Thank You" for accep

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.  Yes, that should be how I live.  I have to believe in who I am.  I have to have faith that my life is guided and protected.  It is all in the mind and the more I stay positive, the easier life is. It is good to think positive.  All my troubles are to make me stronger.  All my troubles can be solved.  I should not give up.  Confucius says 'Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall'. If I cannot fly, then I run.  When I can't run, then I walk.  When I can't walk, then I crawl.  Whatever I do, I have to keep moving forward.  These should be how I am to live my life with my head up. The better me is not where I stand in moments of comfort and convenient.  But, it is where I stand at times of challenges.  As another saying goes, in which I have to live by it, 'You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think'. When life gives me lemon, I shall mak

Few years back, I received this beautiful message from a very dear soul.  It reads 'Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come.  Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome'. This meaningful message gives me strength.  The message gives me the realization that everything is possible.  That, there are no happy days nor there are sad days.  There is always something good in every day.  Every experiences are how my mind wants to interpret them.  And, I must choose to stay positive every day. The only way to live a wonderful life is to face the day, with courage of love to live.  A strong person is when he or she feels the pain, understands it and accepts it.  Behind each pain, it is good to light up life with optimism. I should not live to be needy of my needs.  Others do not owe me nor do I owe them.  I should quit expecting anything in return.  It shall do me good not to li

Everything that I want to achieve has to start with day one of action.  It should not be a 'one day I will do it' or 'no action, talk only' attitude.  When I am not taking any action, I am telling the Universe that I do not have the full motivation.  That there is still a little doubt and I need more time to think things out. The Universe conspires to make everything I want to achieve happen.  The author, Paulo Coelho wrote 'when you want something, all the Universe conspires in helping you achieve it'.  But, when I delay a decision and waiting for that one day, the Universe will not make it to materialize.   Time and tide wait for no man.  I must learn not to slip an opportunity as it may never come again.  Great opportunity do not come everyday.  I need to recognize and seize it with every chance I get.  I need to put my wants, my desires into immediate action. To delay an action comes with a price.  The time between intention and action affects the experience

On any given day, I receive at least one inspirational or motivational quote on chat apps.  They are beautiful messages touching on the aspects of life.  Very often, the beautiful messages are giving me the opportunity to reflect. There are many wonderful messages that let me to fill my shortcomings.  Should I not receive them, I will not know and I shall live in oblivion. Surely, there has to be reason why I receive them.  These messages are to wake me up and remind me about the various stages of my life.  They are important as they allow me to learn.  They usually nudge my mind. But, do I take them seriously?  Do I internalize the messages that I deem inspiring and motivating?  What do I do after reading them?  How much do I allow them to be parts of my life? I have to find meaning reading these messages.  I have to find ways to make them stay with me.  I must not read them lightly. I have to find purpose why I forward them.  I should not forward them casually. I have to own these me

When my soul is happy, there will be a big drive to live for a good life.  A good life where I will understand that whatever I do, I will do it for love, for peace and more.  When I am at peace with myself, I am at peace with anything outside of me.   When I am in love with myself, it is where I truly know to love others. With a happy soul, I accept life as Just Is.  I accept others for who they are.  I understand that everyone is right in their own perspective.  And, importantly, I will stop to prove to show off my ego to the world how intelligent I am.   Simply, I shall live for who I am in the name of the Divine Creator. When my soul is happy, it will become the best shield for me to survive in this world.  It will protect me from harm, from disappointment, from greed, from sadness, from sorrow.  Living with a happy soul makes me to focus on my well being.  On how to make myself a good human being. It is important that I live every day to make my soul happy.  It is important that I

Today, I am dedicating to all the loved ones that have gone before me.  May they rest in eternal peace.  May their souls walk along the divine path.  May their paths towards the rising sun be blessed. I humbly ask for forgiveness on their behalf.  I humbly ask that they be cleansed, purified and released to the path of the pure divine light.  I humbly ask that they no longer will be earthbound.  As I bid them goodbye to the path of light, they will release me in return. I thank them for reaching out to me and speak without the words.  I thank them for choosing me and sharing their lives.  To them, I say 'Thank you for watching over and guiding me'.  Humbly, I wish them the best.  Death is a true blessing where all their tasks are done on Mother Earth. But here I am left with jealousy feelings.  I am jealous of where they are now.  I am jealous of the way divinity makes them happy without me.  I am jealous of the love where they are today. I will always miss them.  Their departu
