Thought For Days

Happiness Is Your Property
No matter what adverse situations come in front of you, no matter how many obstacles come in front of you, your happiness should not disappear. An obstacle that comes will also go away. That obstacle comes and goes away but what belongs to you should not go. So, happiness is your property. Whenever an obstacle comes, just think that it has come to go away. When a guest comes to your home, it isn't that he has come as a guest and will go away having taken everything from your home. So an obstacle has come and it will go away but it should not take away your happiness. Happiness should always remain with you.

Letting Go of Sorrow
If I allow bitterness and resentment to fester inside, it will make my relationships guarded and unsatisfying. The more I close down to others, the more I become a stranger to myself. By letting go of sorrow and negativity, I can keep my nature open and loving. Remaining open to life, with its constant adventures and opportunities to grow, is the only way to reach my full potential.

Move With Lightness‏
Move through life with lightness, touching the hearts of others without leaving a mark.

Courage
Do not become discouraged in the face of adversity. Understand that the bigger the heart, the bigger the obstacles it is asked to accomodate

Breath Taking‏
Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Feel Light‏
By seeing the defects of others you will become tired. By seeing only what is good you will feel light.

The Power of Thoughts
Thoughts are more powerful than actions because they are the creators of actions. You have to keep in mind that the thought-waves of your good wishes and pure feelings, your vibrations of peace and love, can once again bring harmony in nature and happiness in the world.

Patience
Patience teaches you not to push, but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life, knowing that nothing remains the same and everything will change at some point.

Peace and Stability
Every moment is precious. Let me fill myself with so much peace and stability that whoever comes in front of me at any time is at ease and uplifted.

Love‏
Love is the ocean which accepts all manner of rivers without questioning their origin.

True Love
Love is a powerful force. It can take us to great heights and leave us feeling light and airy. Yet it has been the most abused and misused force. Many degraded things pass for love. True love is based on understanding, mutual trust and respect and not simply on transient emotions. Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self, God and each other. Love dwells in the soul. We must allow this love to flow out and around us. Without love, all of life's treasures are locked away from our vision and experiences, for indeed 'love is the key.'

Surrender Gracefully
We are surrounded by graceful surrender. The geese surrender to the first autumn chills, and think of flying south. The flower surrenders to the night and shuts up shop as the setting sun surrenders to the horizon of another day. A mother surrenders to the needs of her baby, and the child surrenders to the wisdom of the father. These kinds of surrender are sweet and natural. They are graceful movements in a dance to the subtle symphony of life. While we may find moments to surrender to such grace and beauty, if we are not careful, we also tend to allow ourselves to surrender to our appetites, to envy, to greed and then to self centred lifestyles in which we serve only ourselves. No grace there - only the disgrace of self-inflicted slavery. Whatever we surrender our minds to, will eventually shape our character and define the quality of our life. Be careful what you surrender your mind to, even if it's only for a day, or an hour.

Contentment
Contentment is a great virtue, though it may not attract one's attention at first. Those who are truly content are usually quiet about it. It is a pleasure to be in their company, because they are full, peaceful, and generous.

Manage Emotions
When the energy of our consciousness is out of our control - the mind is agitated. We are being emotional. The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand back and observe the hurricane pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain themselves. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it, and observe it ...it will be your master.

Humility Is Greatness
Just as a tree that is full of fruit bows down for others to take the fruit, one who is humble will always live in self respect and treat others with respect.

Create Vision
Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself today - patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer? So be creative - what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to ..wait? Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. This is how we create our own life.

Silence‏
Talking comes by nature, silence by wisdom.

Complete Everything
A task left undone remains undone in two places - at the actual location of the task, and inside your head. Incomplete tasks in your head consume the energy of your attention as they gnaw at your conscience. They syphon off a little more of your personal power every time you delay. No need to be a perfectionist, that's debilitating in an imperfect world, but it's good to be a 'completionist'. If you start it, finish it...or forget it. Do it - or dump it!

First Change
There is no greater teacher than one's own practical example. To be really benevolent therefore means that I must first change, then I have the power, the knowledge and the experience of thinking and doing for the ultimate benefit of all.

Finally..

Finally I have finished uploaded all my photo during the Europe trip on my facebook. When looking through the picture in different places, I really feel fortunate as I got the chance to travel in some countries after my studies before I start working. Some of my friends say it may be hard for us to travel when we start working.

Really miss the time spend together with my friends in UK. Almost four months staying oversea really open my eyes on different kind of people, life and so on. I really learn a lot during that time. Besides, I also make new friends when studying and during the trip.

Next month is my convocation. I am looking forward to it since I can meet my classmates. Really looking forward to it.

4th Day

Today is my 4th day in Miri. All day stay in the house is really the thing I like to do when I am at home. Putting my FM notes on the table is an encouragement for me to study for my ACCA. However, it is no use as I still sit in front of the laptop surfing the internet or lay in front of the TV to watch astro.

Now, I am trying to adjust myself with the weather in hometown. Nowadays, I am waken by the heat in the room. The weather here is hot and I have to lay under the fan to cool down myself.

It is an enjoyable moment when I lay on the floor and hugging my doggy while watching the drama. Hope I can still enjoy myself for few days before start studying. Plus oil.. ^^v

This is the doggy I miss when I am not at home.

Lost and Found

Today I just came back from KL. For me, home really sweet home. It's about half year I didn't come back home since my last cny holiday. Really miss my bed, pillow, doggy and especially my mum's cooking.

After 14-hour air flight from Manchester to Dubai and Dubai to KL plus the 2-hour flight to reach home, I am almost exhausted and excited. I finally can see my family member. Besides, I'm going to have a big meal during the night as I will be attending the wedding dinner. Thanks to my mum's friend who can't go that give me a chance to go.

I go to the dinner with my mum and my sister. We park the car outside the shopping complex as we are out of the time. The wedding dinner is held beside the pool. This is the first time I go to this kind of wedding dinner. We have buffet dinner and all is self-service which I kinda dislike as have to queue up to take the food.

After having the dinner, we decide to leave as it's almost the time for my mum to pick up my aunty who is coming back tonight from KL also. When we reach at the parking space, we got a shocked. Our car, the only car in our family, is missing. We can't find our white car. Is like the words that my mum say before the dinner came true. We asked the security guard about the car but he didn't know anything about it.

Finally, we go to the police station with the help of my mum's colleague. Thanks to Aunty Dragon. It's really a big help for us. This is the first time I go to the police station. I wish I won't go there anymore. At the station, my mum review back all the scene and say out the details to the police. Fortunate my mum still jokes while having the report done. I'm quite worried since the car in the family for 20++ years already.

After that we go home by my aunty's car. While at home, we all hope that the car will be found in the good condition. After midnight, a call coming. My mum answer it and we all delighted by the news that the car maybe found. Half glad and half worry as we dunno the new is fake or real.

While writing this blog, I am waiting for my mum to come back with the home. Hoping that this time really come back with the car.

PS: My mum's car had been found. Sorry for the late update..

Thought For Days

Hope
Poverty is not being without money, but being without hope.

Original Peace
It is not neccessary to search for peace. It is within. Your original state is one of peace. External situations will pull you away from your peace. If, that is, you let them. Internal feelings can also pull you away. Tiredness, for example, leads to irritability. Learn to be in charge of yourself and maintain your peace: centre your awareness on your spiritual form - a tiny star-like point of light, seated in the middle of your forehead. Really experience the difference between You the Sparkling Star, and your body, the physical vehicle. Learn to detach yourself from the vehicle. Even a few moments of this practice, if done regularly, will return you to your natural state of peace. Tiredness will vanish. Irritability too. And your actions will be filled with love - for the self and others.

Heal Yourself
The deepest wounds we all carry are locked in our subconscious (out of our awareness). Deep memories and subtle impressions, from unfinished experience, rooted in the past. The pain from those wounds comes to revisit, to block and paralyse us in the moment called now. We all know it comes without warning - "Why am I feeling this way, I didn't mean to do that, I don't know what made me say that." Healing does not mean finding and treating every single inner scar which send it message to haunt us. It means going even deeper, past those wounds, beyond those distant memories and recording of unfinished business, to the core of our self, to the heart of our spirit, where we find the light and warmth of our own core qualities of love and peace. They are eternally present within us they are what we need to heal all our inner wounds. That's why this kind of deep healing is called spirituality and not therapy.

Remain Positive
If my mind is still enough, I can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if I remain positive eventually I will see how everything has worked out for the best.

Contentment
Contentment is the king of all virtues. A contented man lives naturally peaceful life. Remain happy with what is available and at the same time keep trying for better.

Stillness
Journey into the stillness of your inner being. Here, in the shade of your true self you will find true comfort and true support.

Look Inwards
We all have three eyes. Two for looking out and one for looking in. Why would we want to look in when everything is happening 'out there'? Because the treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is treasure? Beauty, truth, peace, happiness. You already have what you seek. You already are stunningly beautiful. You are already peaceful and loving. How come you don't know this? Simple, you never look inwards, beyond superficial memories or recent experiences, so you never see your own riches. Take a moment to stop, look in and see. Don't rush. Don't search. Just look. And be aware.

Good Feelings
Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendships and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected in your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen.

Let Go of Emotions
Emotions can feel uncontrollable - we have no choice but to experience them. But to live by our emotions is to live under a tyrant's rule. Acknowledge emotions for what they are, without shame or guilt, and then allow them to pass through you like wind moving through the leaves of a tree. Remember that it is only with your permission that feelings can change the way you behave.

Offer Up
Free yourself from forcing, expecting or wanting someone to receive what you think they should take - it could be your idea, opinion, or an opportunity you think they should accept - you can't make anyone take anything - your own experience probably confirms this. Offer humbly. Offer gently. Offer as if you are a master, and then let go, and retire like a shy child. When you can dance the dance between being master and child, you'll be surprised how much more others will accept what you have to say, and how much more they appreciate your offerings.

Seeing things truly
We tend to see things not as they are but as we are. Becoming quiet and simple inside is a first step to seeing things truly.

Calm
In tune with my inner rhythm, I draw wisdom from the past, allowing the future to shape itself around me. My mind is a sanctuary where shafts of golden sunlight laze as though resting in the aisles of some great cathedral. Everything is as it should be. I remain simple in the midst of complexity, sure at times of unease, and clear in the company of others.

Respect
When I learn to respect myself, other people will respect me. How can I develop respect for myself? By keeping my mind positive and encouraging myself to grow and change for the better. Demanding respect because of my position or background is simply arrogance. On the other hand, listening with humility and valuing other people's advise naturally earns me respect. I get back exactly what I give out.

Act of Kindness‏
No act of kindness is ever wasted.

A Peaceful Being‏
You fill your life with peace when you discover you only have to be yourself, to be what you have always been - a peaceful being.

Beautiful Manners
A person of wisdom and spirituality has very beautiful manners that have grown from genuine respect and love for the whole of humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to do with culture or education: it is simply a question of humility. When we are at the receiving end of such manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honoured. In fact, none of us deserves anything less.
