The Blessed Life

Sometimes in life, I need to stop for a moment.  And, I must stop for that moment.  I should not keep going without taking the time, the moment to ponder for what is next to come.  I must not chase after my shadow without spending time to appreciate what is there in my hands. There must be a reason when I stop for that moment.  What is important is for me to be grateful.  I have to be thankful to what life has given me, to where it has brought me.  At that moment, I need to realize what I have done, what I have traded on all my options. In this world that is full of pleasure so frail, I need to sit back to smell the roses.  Wisely, I must be grateful and acknowledge the source of goodness in my life.  I need to pause to recognize the daily moments that bring me joy and be thankful. Day by day, everything about my life shall unfold.  Should I not take the time to stop for that moment, I may not know who I am.  I may continue to wander, might be blindly or carelessly, without letting my

I have to love myself while I still get the chance.  Before I am too weak to enjoy the powerful feeling within me.  The feeling of an inner push that makes me to do things for myself.  There is nothing wrong with being in love with myself.  It is good to put myself first as it means that the person in the mirror needs me. When I love the light in me, I learn not to hurt myself.  Hurt is an energy that dwindles camaraderie.  It destroys and divides the good things.  I need to stop hurting myself and start living by looking inward.  At the same time, I have to create beautiful meanings moving forward. Loving myself is a divine act to accept myself.  It is important that I love myself but not from the excessive self interest and self full admiration.  I have to do away with any inflated sense of self importance, at all costs and at all time.  I have to accept, and always to remember, there are imperfections in me. Self love is the foundation for who I am.  All in my life builds on top of

To pursue happiness, I need to know when to surrender.  To be at peace, it is good that I can walk away from events that no longer serve me.  To regain strength and to improve on the quality of life, it is better to let my guard down and leave the past to focus on the future. When I surrender, I turn away from my ego.  I submit to my higher self to let go any painful experiences.  I let go the intense demands on my actions to accept what is in my hand.  This moment of acceptance is the one that matters. When I walk away from events, I am not walking away from love but I am choosing to move out of negativity.  I walk away to let go of control.  Walking away takes more strength than retaliation.  To let go the need to control is bending my mind from overacting, when left unchecked can be more destructive than staying around. To strike harmony in life, in any social interactions, I must learn to let the past go.  When things are no longer working with my energetic vibrations, I have to ta

Life is just life.  It is As-Is.  It is how I view it that makes the difference.  Everyday, there are constant countless happenings of events in life.  They happen and they are to teach me lessons.   Any experience I have is not, by itself, negative or positive.  It is the meaning that I attach to that experience that gives its positive or negative connotation.  When things happen, it is good that I ask myself, 'What will I learn from this?'.  Importantly, it is good that I ask 'What have I created that it is happening?. I am not the product of my environment.  And, I should not think that I am.  I have to break away from such dogma.  When I think that I am, I am not taking the responsibility to own my life.  I have to look at life in a way that it could be, not what it was or what it is.  The story of my life is not my life; it is just my story. I am a soul and I have a body.  My mind is just a tool that my soul is using.  My body acts as a vehicle to move around.  My soul

God, in Your beautiful name, I seek and I pray. I am sorry for all the thoughts, words, deeds and actions that I think I am good above others. I am sorry for all the judgements I pass in life.   I am sorry for all the judgements I place on my ancestors, father, mother, uncles, aunties, brothers, sisters, cousins, children, nephews, nieces, husband, wife, partner, in laws, teachers, students, friends, colleagues and to all other souls that I cross path with - today and everyday. Please forgive me for my ignorance. Please forgive me for my arrogance. Please forgive me for my ego. Please forgive me for my pride. Please forgive me for my stubbornness. Thank You for listening to this repentance. Thank You for the silver rod to ground me. Thank You for granting me new opportunities. All that I want is the flame of Your Light.  All that I desire is the purity You desire. Let me be useful.  Let me be a blessing.  Let me be Your instrument. Let me live my live on Yours.  Let my human body celeb

There's a Divine spark in everyone.  You and I, when we completely open our hearts and minds, will realize that God is always using each one of us as His instrument for each other, quietly. Will I want to believe this? Will I want to acknowledge it?  How can I know it?  Can there be signs or even proofs? Believe. Trust. Faith. These are what I need to embrace, in full totality.  When I do not believe, I will not have the trust.  Without trust, will faith get me to believe that everything is possible? The total embodiment for all good things to take place in my ways of lives, as a human, requires total surrender. Should I am skeptical, I should ask myself why am I so.  What is cynicism?  What is faith? Life is As Is.  All good and bad are perceptions.  All good and bad are conditioned by my traumas.  By my past experiences. I have to find my ways to light up my life. I have to work to feel my joy and peace. Acceptance. Let go. Surrender. May God grant me all these.

Nothing in the world is permanent.  What is, is change.  It will be foolish of me to think that my earthly success will be forever.  Or my material gains last eternally and I get to bring them over the rainbow bridge on my passing.  Or my physical relationships with my family, my friends and others be for all time. Change is constant.  It occurs continuously in every stages in one's life.  It is a permanent fixture of life.  To embrace it makes me to flow with life's momentum.  To resist it makes me not to grow.   Refusal of any type of change can lead me to have negative side effects in life.  When I can no longer change, I am challenged to change myself.  When I do not change, nothing in the world will make me happy and there will be no peace of mind. I have to live my life in such a way that this moment is the last.  At all times, an old thing ends and a new thing starts.  I must not be afraid of any change.  I am developing when I am changing.  This is what make me be one w

  I need to spend time everyday to reflect on who I am.  It will do me good should I am able to have adjectives to describe about me.  It is good that I write them down.  I have to be honest with all the bad and the good.  And, I need to admit that my attitude, behaviour or character is not all roses. I should not allow my ego to guide me when I am reflecting.  I have to be truthful to my soul.  I should not let my soul be lied just because I need to look good to others.  Or to make myself sound good with all the adjectives describing me. Everyday, I have to go through the list.  As I go through it, I have to take the time to reflect.  I need to think why I gain that adjective, or lack of.  The more I go through it, the more I can become aware.  Repetition is the mother of learning and that is how my consciousness shall evolve. This exercise will make me to find about myself.  About my sense of purpose.  When I discover who I really am, hopefully, I shal

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
