Thought For Days

Finest Qualities
Let my eyes be a mirror for others, reflecting only the best and finest qualities.
Let Go
Just as the bird has to find the courage to let go of the branch in order to fly, so we also must let go of our branches if we are to know the exhilaration of soaring to the highest potential of our life.

A Moment Of Solitude
When I start the day with a moment of solitude and contemplation, even the most crowded schedule runs more smoothly.

Know Love
We seek it here, we seek it there, we look for love everywhere! We expect it to come to us, usually through another person. All our conditioning says it is something that happens to us. The mythology of our fables, legends and modern day entertainment industries say it is something we 'fall into'. And yet...and yet real love cannot be acquired, possessed or accumulated. It cannot be known when we think it comes from outside ourselves. The ultimate paradox is we are it. We are love.

Happiness
Happiness is your special treasure and so never let go of this treasure.

Radiate Light
Each one of us is a walking radiator. Mostly we radiate thoughts and attitudes. From deep within we radiate our state of being, and the essential, original and eternal state of every being is peaceful and loving. But we block and distort this energy with our attachments. Attachments turn love into fear, peace into anger and then distort our attitudes and actions towards others. This is neither relaxing for ourselves, or for those around us. Which is why detachment is the secret to living lightly and lovingly.

Over-Thinking
The biggest disease of the mind is over-thinking, especially too much thinking about others. Thinking too much is like eating too much. The heaviness makes it impossible to remain light and flexible.

Spiritual Language
To create the future we desire we need a spiritual language; we must speak from the heart and in the language of the soul - a language of trust, faith and higher values, of inner growth, love and listening.

Great Soul
A great soul is one whose every thought and every act is great. Not a single thought should be ordinary or wasteful. No action should be ordinary or meaningless.

Thought For Days

Sweetness
Sweetness looks for the good in things, for at its heart is the conviction that good is somewhere there in everything.

Silence
In the ocean of silence you may discover your eternal treasures of peace, love and happiness. In silence, you can let bad feelings and past sorrows dissolve. In silence you can hear the whisper of God saying "Come child and rest with Me. You are a peaceful soul."

Sweet Natured
No one tortures you except your own nature. Make your nature sweet and loveable; then win the love of all.

Detached Observer
Peace ends when you are emotionally involved in a situation. The practice of being an detached observer helps you stay stable and calm. It is the best way to approach a decision in any circumstance.

Inner Calm
The greater the demands on me, the more I need to sustain my inner calm and stability.

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.

Power Of Protection
Do you need protection? Are you strong enough to protect yourself? Cultivating self awareness allows me to see how I have the inner power to choose my feelings regardless of what others say or do.

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.

Within Us
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Co-operation
Co-operation is perhaps one of the least recognised but most valuable of human virtues. So, for a person to be co-operative meands for them to have a quiet eye for what is needed to bring success, and to supply it (and no more)at the right time, in the right place and then to be off. Someone who co-operates, offers their services and then splashes their name on the achievement is not co-operative. It requires invisibility and precision to do and then to go without waiting for results. It also takes a discerning eye to see exactly what is needed, to be removed sufficiently from your own approach to a task and just to contribute one ingredient. Sometimes not even an idea but, however clever you may consider yourself to be, just a hand, a support.

Thought For Days

Sweetness of Introversion
Instead of speaking too much and wasting your energy, become experienced in the sweetness of introversion.

Peaceful and Patient
We are never without the solutions to our problems. It's just that sometimes we may have to wait a little. Learn how to remain peaceful and patient.

Peace
To be peaceful is to be free from expectations and to want nothing from anyone.

Happiness
It is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.

Life
Ignorance makes you believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound significance. What you see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.

Humility
I value others without seeking their attention. Self respect is my inner light. I need nothing extra. I am unafraid of life's great teachings in all their daily guises. Today I will let someone help me.

Unshakeable
If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self pity, these adverse situations that look like they could bury us, have within them the very real potential to make us unshakeable.

Healing
I gently return to equilibrium, nurtured by a well-spring of love. I, the soul, am washed and soothed by the quiet energies of stillness. Embracing the vastness of my inner landscape, I understand the cycles of growth and decay. Today I will fix something broken, or find a new use for it.

Thought For Days

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. We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life.
Ferocious Lions
The habits of guessing and assumption can be like ferocious lions. So do not allow them to run wild.
Give and Take
Whatever you give comes back to you. Whatever you take will not stay with you.
Give Time
Whatever or whoever you give time to, you give your attention to. Whatever gets your attention gets your energy. Whatever gets your energy must grow. So what will you give your time to today - who will get your attention? What or who needs your attention? Is it a task, a process or a relationship? Or are you waiting for these things to give you time and attention? How long have you been waiting? Why are you waiting? Are you a leader or a follower, a master or a slave? Mmmm...all questions today!
Courage
Courage is taking a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, trusting that whatever help you need will become available.
Peace
Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life.
Inner Peace and Protection - Step1
Let every day begin with a 'good morning' to the self, to God and to life. The first thought of the day gives me power and peace.
Inner Power and Protection - Step 2
Everything, everyone is my teacher. No matter how difficult, how unexpected, how unwanted, since it has come into my life, I ask myself, "What do I learn now?"
Inner Power and Protection - Step 3
Every two hours, I put a brake on my mind and tongue and become quiet: just a minute to be peaceful. I stop, relax, recharge and then re-enter the flow of daily activities.
Inner Power and Protection - Step 4
I 'put a fullstop' as soon as I see myself complaining and blaming. These two habits destroy my inner power completely, because they show I am still expecting solutions and changes from others.
Inner Power and Protection - Step 5
During the day I say 'thank you' to God, to life,
that today I exist, today I can express, today I can share love.
Tender Heart
Your inner strength is revealed by your gentle nature and tender heart.
Living In Peace
In order to live in peace, try not depend on anyone and at the same time try to help others not to depend on you. Help them become independent, free and responsible for their lives. In the same way, ensure you do not cause anyone sorrow, and do not allow others to be a source of hurt for you.
Make Up
While we spend much time 'making up' our faces to ensure our appearance is beautiful for others, we forget to make up our minds. This is not about making decisions. Making up our mind means ensuring that our thoughts are positive and our feelings towards others are filled with good wishes. When we do, others begin to sense a deeper beauty emanating from behind the skin! This is inner beauty. Don't hide behind your face. Let the real you show through.
Lightness
Move through life with lightness, touching the hearts of others without leaving a mark

Thought For Days

Be The Example
Instead of teaching others by telling them, teach them by doing it yourself.
Think No Evil
"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Do not even think evil, because first you think of something, then you speak of it, then you see it.
Be Happy
Create powerful thoughts of happiness and your body and mind will always remain happy.
Thoughts And Actions
The thoughts you create and the actions you do have to be the same. Create good thoughts and bring them into action. Your actions will then be successful.
Silence
In the ocean of silence you may discover your eternal treasures of peace, love and happiness. In silence, you can let bad feelings and past sorrows dissolve. In silence you can hear the whisper of God saying "Come child and rest with Me. You are a peaceful soul."
Tolerance
Someone who cannot tolerate small ills can never accomplish great things.
See the Sweetness
No matter how bad people may seem, they possess at least one virtue. Be like the humming bird and pick out the sweetness of everyone's character.

Thought For Days

Forgiveness
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
Lotus Life
The lotus is a symbol of purity. Its roots are in the mud, but the flower remains above dirty water. Live a lotus life. Be in the world, but unaffected by impurities.
Remember Things of Happiness
When you feel tired, remember things of happiness and you will regain strength.
Radiate Happiness
Have you ever noticed that happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision? You don't actually need anything to be happy. It's not something that comes from outside, it comes from inside, and when you radiate a happy energy you'll be amazed what it attracts into your life. Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.
Positive Thoughts
Positive thoughts are like good software that helps us to perform to the best of our abilities.
Power
Give birth to new possibilities through your ability to reach into the future and let go of the past.
Exploring Silence
Human beings often think about things that don’t concern them and about other people. When you think a lot you will use the word 'why'. To become silent means to emerge wisdom from within. To move into dead silence means to go beyond the consciousness of the physical body. This is a very wonderful experience for the soul, it empowers and refreshes the soul.

Going out..

Today, I went out audit with my colleagues. There are a lot of work to check for this company. A lot of files and a lot of transactions. In my mind, the word ' a lot ' keep appeared. I scare we can't finish it on time. Scare that the senior will say us if we did not check properly. Hard work..
During lunch time, we ate with other colleagues from our office. Heard from them that one of the managers take her afternoon leaves for 3 days. Wah.. So envy her. My friends say they rather go back office to work rather than auditing outside. But, I would rather stay outside since I scare go back to office. There's a reason for me for not going back.
Still got few weeks, I will be going to KK. From what Diana write on my blog, she say the place I stay is good. I am glad since I can walk around and enjoy while working.
2 months later, I will be having my exam. Hope that I can prepare well and pass for this round. Plus oil to all and myself.

p/s: a bi, take care yourself and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Plus oil ^^v

Thought For Days

Solutions
We are never without the solutions to our problems. It's just that sometimes we may have to wait a little. Learn how to remain peaceful and patient.

Happy Moments
If I make this moment happy, it will increase the chances of the next moment being happy also.
Peaceful Mind
Learn how to keep your mind peaceful by feeding good thoughts to your mind.
Let your mind rest.. let it be restful… not restless. Remember: my mind is my own.
I mustn’t let my mind cause me distress. I cannot slap my mind (suppress the mind)
– I have to give it love. By giving your own mind love you will make it peaceful.
Charity
To make others dependant on you is not an act of charity.
Good Heart
A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.
Contentment
To make good use of what you have and to let go of what you do not use is to live in a contented way.#
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.
Energy
If you speak badly of others, the negative energy that you put out into the universe, will return to you. The same is true of positive energy.

Out-station

Yesterday, my senior book air tickets to go to KK to audit. Finally, they have the list who will be going to KK to audit. I will be one of them. It will be a 10 days outstation. For me it's a long trip since it has been my first time going for audit with my seniors and stay outside from home.
We will be going to KK in November. Still got 1 month to go. I have been assigned to handle one company. Now, I just hope that I can finish it on time and within the time limit given by my senior.
I'm looking forward on the place we will be staying. I checked it online and the facilities are good. By the way the place has laundry services which I needed. Haha.. I will be staying at Marina Court Resort Condominium during the outstation. It's a red building. Looking forward to meet my friends in KK. Long time don't see them already. Now just hope that I got the time to gather with them.
It will be a busy period for me.. Diana.. Hope to see u soon..

Last day

Today is the last day for Ms. Tho in the company. She has resign from the company. So sad.. There will be little people talk with me and teach me. Really sad...
Actually today I will be taking sick leave. But, I had been taking the leave for 2 days. It's so weird to take more than that. So I decide to go to office today. My colleagues say if I purposely go to office as Ms. Tho is going. I'm lazy to answer them.
Starting from tomorrow the seat beside me will be empty. No one to chat with me. I will be lonely. Fortunate I still got Ms. Bong behind me. But, she will taking her O.T leave for half a month. Haii...
Lonely.. I will be lonely till next month. Haha..
Today my mum call for firemen to destroy the bee hive on the roof of my house. When they saw it, they say ' Wao... So big'... But, finally they come to destroy it as there were so many cases about bees lately. Reporters are here to.. So it will be a big new in my area. Haha.. My house will be in the newspaper tomorrow. I think so. Just dunno which publisher.
Now, I'm typing in the dark since we can't open the light. No light.. Say no to bee hive.

Thought For Days

Inner Calm
The greater the demands on me, the more I need to sustain my inner calm and stability.
Balance
Maintain the balance of responding to situations with a cool head and to people with a warm heart.
Teach With Love
Teaching others is best done with love, once the heart has understood, the mind opens.
Tolerance
Everybody is right from their own stand point ... hence the need for tolerance.
Sparks of Purity
Words! They are all around me! I see them. I use them. Harsh words, soothing words, biting words; words that give pain and sorrow; words that give joy and pleasure. They are vital to communication. When words are spoken there are reactions, negative or positive. Either thoughts are triggered or emotions fired or actions performed. Words colour our behaviour. And how lovely it is to hear words that are calm and free from rancour and aggression. To hear words that lift the soul and leave it with renewed vigour. Such words are the sparks of purity. It is important to remember that my speech indicates what is in my mind. As the thinking, so the words uttered. Mental calmness makes my words calm. A pure mind makes for pure words. It is said that speech may exalt someone to kingship or send him to the gallows. I should never let myself indulge in false, bitter and vicious speech. My words should reflect my true, inner nature, that of purity and peace. Words, once spoken, can never be recalled. They reverberate all around, beyond our control. Today, as I utter words, what effect will they have on those who hear them? Will they be the words that are poisonous and cause pain? Or will my tongue be like that of the nightingale, sweet and so, so very soothing and lovely to the ear?
Anger
Anger destroys the beauty of the heart as well as the beauty of the face.
Silence
In the ocean of silence you may discover your eternal treasures of peace, love and happiness. In silence, you can let bad feelings and past sorrows dissolve. In silence you can hear the whisper of God saying "Come child and rest with Me. You are a peaceful soul."
Touch The Stillness
Every action has its seed in a thought and every thought is a creation of the thinker, the soul. I choose what thoughts I want to create and as is my thinking so are my actions and also my experience in life. Going within, I touch the stillness and pure love that lie at the core of my being and every thought that I create is of benefit to myself and of benefit to humanity.

Thought For Days

Admiration not Envy
Very fortunate is the one who has learned to admire, but not to envy. To envy others neither diminishes their good fortune nor increases your own.

The Best
The best ornament is Humility. The richest wealth is Wisdom. The strongest weapon is Patience. The best security is Faith. The best tonic is Laughter.

The Truth About Illusion
Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances or our perceptions of others to the contrary.

Serenity and Spiritual Beauty
Beauty comes with self acceptance, self love and self awareness. Self knowledge is equivalent to truth which brings serenity and spiritual beauty.

Meditation
Though the mind often asks for what is visible or material, its needs are deeper and cannot be met by anything superficial or short term. Meditation leads to a meeting point with all that is true and eternal.

Seeing Things Truly
We tend to see things not as they are, but as we are. Becoming quiet and simple inside is the first step towards seeing things truly.

Self-confidence
Self-confidence is to know your way around yourself so instinctively that you always have a strength to draw on. Somewhere inside, from the stillness, you always find something that can meet your need.

Good Wishes
The more good wishes and kind feelings we have for others, the more our own happiness increases.

Just Having Fun
Work without happiness is like a burden that you have to endure, but when you are internally happy it becomes a game, and you're just having fun.

Harmony
Even when another person seems a world apart from you: find a bridge.

Give Up the Habit of Worrying
As we grow in strength in our spiritual life, we give up the habit of worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and miserable. When I stop fretting about things that are beyond my control and focus instead on generating optimistic and kind thoughts, my life can begin to flow in ever more positive directions. Such a light and easy approach to life enables me to take everything in my stride.

Cooking and Eating
Cook and eat with powerful vibrations. By placing great importance on cooking and eating with loving and peaceful vibrations, you will nourish both mind and body.

Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm frees the self from obstacles and brings benefit to all.

My Working Life

It's been 6 months I have been working in an audit firm here. 6 months is like a long period. A lot of things to do during some period and sometimes nothing to do. Just like these few weeks. I had been doing nothing but just bring my textbook to office to study. But, in the end, I just flip at the same page and talk with my colleague. Hoping the time pass by faster.

Last week, my manager informed us that some of us may go to Bintulu to work. Then few days later, me and some of my colleagues were told by our senior to prepare ourselves to go to Bintulu. May be for 2 weeks. Haii.. What a surprise.. This may be my first time outstation for work if we really get that. Till now, we still not sure if we will get it or not. Bintulu.. 2 weeks.. I am sure that I will miss home.

Besides that, I was told also if my colleague doesn't want to go to KK to audit, I will replace her to go. A surprise again. This time also 2 weeks. But, in KK. I have to handle one company account in 2 weeks. Haii.. Again.. For me, it may be good. Since I can learn more things and explore to other places. But, I have to away from home for 2 weeks. No time to study for my December exam. As I have many assignment to rush which due in December. Hope I can finish it on time.

Now, I just pray that anything will go smoothly and accordingly. Plus oil.. ^^v

...

Today when I was In the office starting to work, my collegue told us that my boss' dad ( Ah Gong) had just passed away this morning. All of us just shocked when hearing this new as in our opinion Ah Gong was a strong old man. For us he was healthy and he talked in strength. The age od Ah Gong wwas around 80++. It's a big number.

Ah Gong reminded me about my grandpa. If he was not dea because of that accident, I think he would have still be with us. I missed him. Missed his cooking, talking, his movies collections and so on. I think when he was young he was a good-looking guy. He was tall and strong. He was a farmer. He planted and sold vegetables in the market. I still remembered when I was young, I always help him to water the vegetables and accompany my father to drive my grandpa to the market.

He liked go out using the bus. He would walk to the bus stop that near my house and go to market to sell his vegetables and buy the daily things. Moreover, when in the evening, he would go out to have a walk after the dinner. He would go to the shop to buy some junk food for us. Me, my brother and my sister would always asked him to buy us junk food. He sure will buy for us.

I still remembered that day when he was not at home. We all went out to search for him. All the bus stop and bus stand. But we didn't go to that park which we passed through that time. We never think that he will go there as he never been there before. Some people saw him but they didn't recognise and know that he was my grandpa. Till now, I still dunno how he walked from home to that park. The last indo maid is who I put the blame on. She is the one who made my grandpa to go out to look for. She is the reason why my grandpa go out at the evening and never come back home.

But, maybe this is the faith. Faith that my grandpa passed away so early. Faith that we need to learn how to deal with the pain and loss. Everyone need to go through the process. I think it's up to us on how well we deal with it. Forgive and forget. Maybe it's really hard to forgive than forget.

Thought For Days

Truly Content
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.
Expand My Heart
To welcome an enemy is to take the opportunity to expand my heart.
Strength To Continue
Determination brings the strength to continue, the steadiness to succeed, and the wisdom to slip past difficulties undisturbed.
Acceptance
Accepting others unconditionally allows them to remove their masks and feel at ease with who they are. The security of being accepted gives them the freedom to be themselves and then lets them easily know and accept themselves too.
The Quality of Mercy
A person with the quality of mercy works on such a subtle level that the support given never demeans or implies weakness in the other person.
Motivate Yourself
It's a tough life. Some days its hard to get out of bed and get going. Why? How come our levels of enthusiasm seem to fall so easily? Why can't we get ourselves motivated? Simple really. We try to reverse the energy flow in a universe where all energy is radiating outwards. We try to break one of the spiritual laws. We are taught that winning and achieving is about getting and keeping, when the truth is that it is about giving. Winners are go givers not go-getters, and their definition of winning is not getting one over on the other guy, but overcoming their inertia and giving something of themselves to someone or something other than themselves. This reverses the flow of energy from outside in, to inside out, and as we all know, the deepest satisfaction in life comes from giving.
Filled With Treasures
All human beings have a place inside which is filled with treasures; be still and you will find it.
Be Creative
Every day is an opportunity to be creative - the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture a work of art called, 'my life'. Be careful what you put on the canvas today - it matters.
Too Much Thinking
The biggest disease of the mind is over-thinking, especially too much thinking about others.Thinking too much is like eating too much. The heaviness makes it impossible to remain light and flexible.
Radiate Happiness
Have you ever noticed that happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision? You don't actually need anything to be happy. It's not something that comes from outside, it comes from inside, and when you radiate a happy energy you'll be amazed what it attracts into your life. Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.
Thoughts, Words and Deeds
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

I asked GOD...

I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings;
Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life,
so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said.......Ahhhh,finally you have the idea.

'To the world you might be one person, But to one person you just might be the world'

'Good friends are like stars...

You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.'
