My Word My World

Again...

2012-01-28T19:33:00.002+08:00

It's been few days since the incident.. I never think that it took me so long to calm down myself.. Forgive and forget is a hard thing to decide. I never think that I will need to face this kind of decision. Some people may think it is easy to forget and forgive. For me, it's easy to forgive than forget. As for forgive, I just need to say,' I'm sorry for what had happened.' As for forget, erm...., it's hard. It's hard for me to forget people's bad. When it happened you will remember for a long time.

After posting the last blog that I wrote before the CNY, she pm me on FB. Explaining what she feel and thoughts. When I read it during the CNY, 2nd day of CNY, I was like 'Oh, it's my fault.' I have make this kind of mess happen. I was like sad when I received the message during CNY and she's not only pm me also pm 2 other friends. That's make me fee bad for them as they are still enjoying the festive and holidays. I feel guilty on that.

After that, I just pm her back to tell her about my feelings. As I want to totally be clear to her. When I read the reply, again, is 'Oh, it's my fault again.' I never feel like this before. Straightaway I leave the conversation and delete the message. I kept telling myself to cool down and forget about it. I forgive her.

However, when recall back on what had happen today, I think to forget about it is really hard. When things keep on repeat and repeat you will also be mad and angry. I thought today everything will be go back to normal, at least what I have hope for. But, imagination is different from reality. Maybe I really need to learn how to forget. Few more days need to get back to office. Deadline coming soon.. Busy and stress day will be arrive..

Go.. Go.. Go... I will not be beat up by this... I will survive...

Thought For Days

2012-01-28T19:23:00.002+08:00

Everything I See Is Precious
Let me learn to keep myself in a positive frame of mind and look for the beauty or benefit in everything that happens.

Becoming Great
The elevated aim of doing more and speaking less will make you great.

The Power of Truth
The power of Truth is such that you need never be concerned about proving it. You need only be concerned with being it and living it. Truth is always revealed, at the right moment, at the right place.

Depth of Humility
Humility means to understand the self and through that to understand others as well. Humility is the attitude where a person is not attached to his or her opinion and feelings. Humility is the most natural expression of truth. It helps in better understanding of truth. Humility is the basis for maintaining self-respect. Humility does not mean bowing down and being subservient to others. Humility allows you to see benefit in everything. Developing humility brings a lot of comfort and ease into your life

True Wealth
Even more valuable than physical wealth is the wealth of spiritual love.

Take A Moment
Take a moment whenever you remember just to stop. Be still and silent. Sense the quietness of that moment and visualise yourself stepping into an ocean of calm. Submerge your whole being in the quiet waters. As the waves of that calm ebb and flow, begin to unburden yourself. Slip into that place of no thinking and become completely still. Now, in that stillness, become aware of your 'original' self. This is the real, true you. Let it appear quietly but brilliantly. After some moments, emerge from the still waters and try to retain an awareness of the true you as you go back to your everyday affairs.

Incense Stick
Some people say that it is very difficult to be positive in this highly negative world. But just as an incense stick spreads fragrance everywhere and dispels bad odour, the power of constantly pure and positive thoughts can transform the negative attitudes and atmosphere of any person or place.

Talk Lovingly To Yourself
Learning to talk properly to the self is a spiritual endeavour. When you make a mistake, do you talk lovingly to yourself in your mind, or do you tell yourself off? One habit recognises your divinity; the other subtly shapes a nature of sorrow.

Determination
Determination is an unbroken line, a backbone. Without determination life becomes scattered. Determination makes you sit up straight and love everything.

Harmony
Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Co-operation evokes love and when we bow, others bend. This creates harmony.

Here Is An Angel
How can we serve others around us? By making our lives inspirational and interacting with tact and wisdom. We should be so cheerful, and our lives such examples, that they say 'Here is an angel.'

Positive Attitude
See and hear every person and every situation with a positive attitude. By thinking that everything is good, everything becomes good. Make the attitude of your mind good and powerful and even something bad will become good.

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.

Power To Tolerate
You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Smile And Say "Hello".
In life you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello".

Trust yourself
You must begin to trust yourself. If you do not then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do, and at the same time resenting those from whom you seek such aid.

Busy People
We live in the age of ‘busy’. Busy people not only do a lot, they think a lot. Being lost in thought, is not only tiring and a brilliant way of waste energy, it’s as if we have forgotten the very ground of our being which is still and silent. Learn to meditate and turn the eye of your attention and awareness within, let your mind be quiet and allow your being to be still. You will realize outer space is but a reflection of inner space. Both are vast and infinitely spacious.

Walk Quickly
Walk quickly today, not because you are in a hurry, but because you value the exercise for legs and heart. As you walk, allow your thoughts to visit you, but not stay. Let them come to pass, and you will be surprised how quickly they become positive, and filled with creative ideas. And paradoxically, if you stay internally aware, you may notice that the quicker you walk, the more your thinking slows down and deepens. Walking briskly and positive thinking - that's the simplest way to take care of body and mind. And life was meant to be simple...wasn't it?

True Peace
True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.

Determination and Patience
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

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.

Angel Face
An angel's face is still because there are no lies inside. Truth makes it a straight, simple face whose beauty lies not in its form but in the feeling it gives you.

Happy New Year
Give birth to new possibilities through your ability to reach into the future and let go of the past.

Celebration
Everyday is a celebration because instead of waiting for happy endings, we open our eyes to the wonder of life, to see the humour and magic in each moment. Delighted in the way things turn out, amazed at the beauty of it all.

Transform Obstacles
Is life an obstacle course? Sometimes it may feel like it. If you join the military you will be sent around an obstacle course of increasing degrees of difficulty. Why? To increase your strength and stamina and expand your creative capacity under strain. So it is on the course called 'life' - you can choose to perceive people, situations or events as obstacles, or you can choose to use these things to strengthen and expand your capacity to be creative and to find ways round, under, over. The choice lies in your perception. Obstacles are never ever 'out there', they are always in our own minds.

Creating Thoughts Of Benefit
Acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from an inner sanctuary of silence from which inspiration flows. 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

Like An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.

Working on Rebuilding Relationships
It’s easy to speak negatively when we do not like something about someone. We often react without thinking and become angry. Our words and behaviour become negative or insulting. This further widens the gap damaging the relationship. When someone does something undesirable. I first need to understand the behaviour. Every person has a reason to behave the way he or she does even if I cannot understand it at the time. The more I react to the other person and the bad behaviour, the greater the distance between us. To mend the relationship I need to remind myself of the other person’s good qualities

Trustee Consciousness
We all have a relationship with everything. Obviously the relationship we have with the people and objects in our immediate vicinity is more intimate than the rest of the world. For most of us the most common relationship is possession. In our minds we think we own and possess things like cars and houses and carpets and golf clubs etc. This thinking easily spreads into jobs and tasks and positions and perhaps even other people. "I want you", and "You are mine alone", is the essence of many romantic film scripts and song lyrics. What we forget is that this relationship is wrong. It is not possible to possess anything. Care for..yes. Use...yes. But possess...no. You can't take it with you when you go, so we say! And yet it's the idea of possession which lies at the heart of all fear, war and conflict. Can you see it? Fear of loss, fear of not acquiring what we have already decided is ours in our minds. So what is a better relationship we can choose which takes all the fear away. Be a trustee. Everything comes to us in trust, for us to use and then to set it free. The consciousness of trustee sets us free of the tension of grasping and guarding. To see ourselves as trustees of everything that we receive, including our bodies, encourages our innate capacity to 'care for with dignity'. It is a much more relaxing way of relating to the things which we are privileged to receive in life.

Learn Meditation
Why has meditation been the core practice of all wisdom paths for over two thousand years? Because it is the most effective method to access your innate wisdom, rediscover inner peace and enhance your creative ability. Meditation restores well being, and once your being is well again, all that you do will be successful and fulfilling. But maybe you think you are OK as you are. Perhaps you feel your being is well. But is it? Do you feel tense, worried, hopeless, mentally tired, emotionally upset...ever? Then your being is not well. Your body may be OK but you, the being, is unwell. Medication is for the body, and meditation is for the soul, that's you, and for your mind. Learning how to meditate is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Practising meditation says you care about yourself. Being in meditation can touch the minds and hearts of others a thousand miles away. It actually says that you care about others too. But first...your self.

Happiness
You are a fortunate soul who realizes that the path to happiness cannot be walked in someone else's shoes. Your happiness fits you alone - perfectly.

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

Flexibility
With humility and love, flexibility becomes natural. When I come across someone who is not being co-operative I need to become humble and try to understand what the other person is communicating, If not through words at least through actions. When I am able to listen with love and understanding, I will not be rigid anymore but will be able to adapt to communicate and co-operate with others.

Banish Worry
Worry is otherwise known as 'fantasised catastrophising' where we create an image of the future and use it to frighten ourselves! Be aware that you are doing it, then stop doing it, otherwise the image will become a self fulfilling prophesy. Imagine only the brightest future, and so it will be. Besides there is nothing to worry about... unless you are under the illusion that your well-being and security are dependent on material things. If they are, then you will have many ways in which you can create worry. Possible loss, damage, separation, uncertainty are but a few. Look, you're killing yourself with worry, all because of the misuse of your imagination. Don't do it.

Caring Heart
I express my care and concern by responding to situations with a cool head and to people with a warm heart. If I remain aware that as fellow human beings we are all part of one family, and that even the smallest of gestures can make a difference in people's lives, I am always blessed with a caring heart. It takes so little to show that I care yet it can mean so much.

True Happiness
There is no nourishment like happiness - it's an elixir. There is no sickness like sorrow - it's a poison. The experience of true happiness cures the sickness of sorrow. A cheerful face goes a long way towards making everything better!

Today, I really like someone take a sharp needle kept on poking my heart. FB is a place for someone to say out their thoughts and comments. I never think that I will be on the comments. This afternoon when I saw it I was like is this me... Is this me who that's she is saying about.

Pressure keeps on increase when I continue stay in the office. Maybe what other says is correct, workplace is not really a good place when there are so much of people especially everyone comes from different background. Conflicts arise when opinions crashed with each other.

In my opinion, I maybe think that I was not wrong. But, I really is not wrong. Maybe I'm not satisfied with the way of her of doing her works. Keep on delaying.. Assigning her assignments to others. When I think of that I was really pissed off. Dissatisfaction.. I shouldn't be complain in front of colleagues and manager. I should have keep to myself and pretend it never happen. Why she never think why I act like this. What make me change the way I treat her. Is this my fault? Why? Why? Why?

But most importantly I never think that she say she will talk to the manager (another one). What will she be talking to the manager. The bads or just her work. I will never know. The thoughts of leaving has kept on appear on my minds. 60% - 40%; 50% - 50%; 80% - 20%..

Haii... Chinese New Year is coming soon.. One of the No's in CNY is no arguing or fighting. Hard to avoid.. I never think that it will turn up like this. Is this a sign for me?? Fade up..

Now, what I can do is to try to forget about that... Stay far far away from her...

"BAD THURSDAY & FRIDAY~ VERY VERY ANGRY AR... *ARGH* WTF... !@#$% pissed me off qin qin... i jez hope u can SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM ME!!! DON SHOW ME YOUR CHARCOAL FACE... really BULLSHYT!!!! !@#$%^"

".. but SOMEONE... i wonder how many bucket of ICE i need now.. really PISSED OFF ler.. I feel like tell them off... REALLY PEK CEK ar.... BULLSHYT~ !@@##@$#@%#$%"

I show her charcoal face.. Why she never think that she is the one who also show me her charcoal face. I deal with it for so long. She just deal once. 1 - 1++.. I really disappointed on her. She shouldn't post it on FB.. She shouldn't be like that.. Haii....

Goodbye 2011 Hello 2012

2011-12-31T23:14:00.003+08:00

Still got less than 1 hour, we all will be saying goodbye to 2011 and say hello to 2012. Wao... 2012.. My mind keeps on flashing back all the things happened in 2011 and time passed so fast.. I never think that later strike 12.00 a.m it will be 01.01.2012. Many things happened during this year. Happiness and sadness. Satisfaction and disappointment. All kinds of feeling mixed up in this year. Especially my jobs. I never think that I have faced with the environment in the office. Stress especially. People come and go... Maybe is my time also.

New plan need to be decide and plan. New year new plan.. Old things just let it go and accept the new things. Plans.. I need plans not only a plan...

Writing this post is to have a closure for 2011. End of the story for 2011.. I'm prepared to welcome 2012.. WELCOME.... WELCOME..

So, I'm here to wish all of you here,

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A BLESSING YEAR IN 2012

A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

"A Thousand Years"

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Thought For Days

2011-12-11T09:37:00.002+08:00

Divine Help
Many times people report the feeling of divine help and strength when they come close to breaking point. Actually divine help is always there, but I am usually so busy doing things in my own little way that I only look for it when I face absolute defeat. The tranquil nature of enlightened souls comes from their ability to take God's help constantly. A state of true surrender will lead to the feeling of victory in everything I do.

Bring Light
There is some darkness in most human minds today, so there is a darkness component in most scenes and situations. Why else is there so much unhappiness and sorrow in the world? So how much value can be given to someone who is able to bring light and lightness to a place or a moment, where others have brought their dark? Like a crown of sparkling jewels, their presence and their words are priceless. It may only be a gentle smile of comfort, an attitude of genuine interest, some words which diffuse an awkward moment. Those who stay light in spirit while others weave their dark are both illuminated and illuminators. Watch out for such a moment today where you may illuminate. Make that moment momentous!

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.

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.

Simplicity and Royalty
There's great beauty in simplicity. It's not plainness, however it is plain in the sense that words and actions are enacted with great royalty, full awareness and with so much significance. Simplicity takes us away from artificialities, it simply accepts and in that acceptance shows us grace and humility in every circumstance.

Riches
The greatest good we can do for others is not to share our riches with them, but to reveal to them their own.

Your Own Truth
To follow someone else's truth is a trap. The best strategy is to know your own truth, face it and live by it. Others may inspire, guide, give you directions, but ultimately you have to cut your own way through the jungle. You could always be asking others where North is, and they will tell you. Someone will say North is this way and someone else that North is that other way - and both would have been sincere. But you alone have to find your true North.

Hard To Forgive
Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light.

Patience
Patience is a reflection of the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated. It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and, with this patience acquires the power to deal with all situations.

The Value of Enthusiasm
To be free from carelessness is to be constantly enthusiastic.
Carelessness has a tendency to spread from one person to another. When I see someone working carelessly, I need to remain strong within myself and pay close attention to my work. This will help me to move ahead with enthusiasm.

The Spiritual Aspect Of Healthcare
Silence, happiness, love and blessings are important aspects. Happiness leads to good health. It is only you who can give this medicine to yourself. Some bring illness to themselves through anger, greed, unfullfilled desires, expectations, suppression of feelings and relationships not based on true love. Look in your heart, you will know where your illness comes from. There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention but without worry; use time in a worthwhile way; keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength.

Self Respect
To transform the ordinary into something special is to be truly fortunate.
When I respect myself and acknowledge the strengths and talents that make me unique, I connect with my inner self. I realise I have power within to make everything I do, even the most ordinary act - special. Then I become truly fortunate.

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!

The Rejuvenating Power Of Silence
Silence has to be love-filled. Love actually inspires and moves all things towards their original freedom and happiness.

The Secret Of Good Health
The secret of good health is good nourishment and exercise. We need daily nourishing food and exercise to maintain a healthy body and it takes care and attentiom to fulfil this responsibility. Making the effort underlines our value and importance as a human being. However, the human spirit needs the same attention in the form of the thoughts we have and how the mind puts them to use. Feeding both body and mind with nourishing food gives a powerful and consistent message to respect and co-operate with one another. This is holistic good health.

Be Here Now
Treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift... That's why it's called the present.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis ullamcorper magna ac eros aliquet cursus. Maecenas nec nibh ipsum. Suspendisse sit amet quam id sapien mollis tempus. Mauris mollis nulla urna, id porttitor nibh. Vestibulum arcu eros, pretium id placerat quis, egestas non augue. Praesent quis tempus nisl. Sed auctor est dapibus nulla rutrum vitae cursus metus ornare. Nam vehicula, est vel ornare iaculis, nulla dui rutrum ante, in tempus augue neque vel ligula. Suspendisse dui risus, tempus et suscipit vitae, dictum et magna. Pellentesque in sollicitudin urna. Donec vel tortor metus, id consequat leo. Phasellus in neque eget quam ultricies elementum vel in diam. Donec turpis ligula, tristique quis adipiscing et, lobortis in augue.

Staying Focused
The one who keeps their destination in focus will be successful.
As we travel toward our destination, it’s easy to get distracted. We sometimes become so busy thinking about little things that affect our lives that we lose focus and stop moving forward.
First I need to clarify my goal, then think about how I’m going to work toward it. When situations arise to distract me I need to remind myself that they are only sideshows; they are not important. Instead, to find success, I need to keep my energies focused on my destination.

Abundance
Abundance is to see that there are endless possibilities before us. And at the same time, still see an incredibly rich existence right where we are. It is a feeling of gratitude for everything and everyone we have in our life.

The Power to Adjust
Often when we have to adjust to a person or a situation, we experience many negative thoughts. We find it difficult and tend to feel we are making this adjustment only for the other person's benefit.
To adjust means to understand that nothing can be done to change a situation - it is more sensible to accept it. I adjust not because it will benefit others, but because I will benefit in the long run. This is like crossing a physical obstacle; I cannot remove it so I have to find a way around it if I am to progress.

The Virtue of Sweetness
Just as eating and serving something sweet makes your taste buds feel sweetness, and for a while after, you remain happy, become sweet-natured yourself so that words filled with sweetness are constantly spoken. Such sweet words make both you and others happy. Use this method to always sweeten everyone's mouth; constantly maintain sweet attitude, sweet words and sweet actions.

The Weak, The Brave And The Strong
Anger is weakness,
tolerance is bravery.
Humility makes you strong.

Open Mind
The mind is like a parachute - it works best when it is open. How quickly we make assumptions, jump to conclusions and close our mind. How easily we form and hold fast to our opinions and then close our mind. How fast do we make a judgement, slap on a label and then close our mind. A closed mind never knows the delight of playing with possibilities, being enlightened by others point of view or enjoying the diversity of human life. An open and understanding mind never assumes, doesn't jump to conclusions and won't hold fast to any opinion. Perhaps it is no wonder a closed mind is not a very relaxed mind.

Balance
The indication of balance in life is a sense of well-being, optimism and a clear conscience. The foundation for achieving this is to look after myself spiritually - making my mind peaceful, loving and thoughtful at all times. Then I will instinctively know how much time to spend on my own well-being and how much on fulfilling other responsibilities. I can only give my best to others when I am myself at my best.

Determined Thought
The power of determined thought gives a lot of strength. Where there is determination there is definitely success.

Spotting Goodness
When I become excessively critical towards others, it means I am going in the wrong direction. We are usually very good at spotting mistakes, but we should develop the quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see what is good in others or in situations and go beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good about myself. If I constantly think "he is wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks me from reaching my own goodness. A very ancient law says: "just as I treat others, I shall be treated by others.

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

Kindness
Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.

Free Mind
A free mind is a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. Most people spend much of their time looking for reasons to be offended. An open mind is never offended because it is free of any attachments. It is never the self that is offended but always the illusion that the self has of itself that is affected by insult! If you can really understand this, deeply grasp it's truth, live it each day, then pain will be no more. Next time you 'feel' offended look closely within yourself at yourself and ask yourself what was offended? If you remain aware you will see that it was only an image of yourself which you had become attached to, and that image did not resonate with the image contained in the insult. If you weren't attached, if you didn't identify with the wrong image of yourself then there would be no offence taken. You would then remain free and therefore happy.

Inspirations
The soul flies, the body plods. If you identify with your body, you will feel heavy. If you think you are a soul, you will feel light.

Self-Sovereignty
Subservience to my negativity is a very precarious existence as I can never be sure how well I will handle a difficult situation. With practice it is possible to create appreciative and compassionate thoughts; then I no longer need to indulge in resentment, bitterness or dislike. Training myself to react calmly and wisely offers enormous dividends. Let me talk to myself silently with love and encouragement, balanced with firmness, and like the wise old sovereigns of fairy stories, let me rule the inner kingdom of my mind with benevolence.

Getting on with it...
Worrying about how everything will get done or whether I am capable of doing it limits my ability to respond to challenges considerably. The less I think about doing something and the faster I just get on with it, the fewer problems I cause myself. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and procrastinating is a major drain on my energy. The more willing I am to respond positively to opportunities, the more my capacity will grow.

Introversion - My Inner Landscape
The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts away from all my responsibilities at the day's end and take my mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables me to carry greater and greater loads without feeling the burden. When my inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently, I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Members of a Great Family
Values are related to each other as if they were members of a great family . From peace and happiness emerges inner joy. From this state of wholeness love awakens and with is the desire to share and give . Two of its relatives are tolerance and respect. All values have a shared origin which unites them - the peace of spirituality. When you lose peace you begin to lose everything.

Get Deep
Deep inside our consciousness is an oasis of peace. This is the molten core of the soul, but it is not hot, it is cool. Not passive, but a source of inner power to fuel our mind and intellect, so that we can create powerful thoughts and make accurate decisions. If you can learn to go to this centre, peace will be your companion, positivity your partner, and you will be able to chill out in one second, anywhere, anytime. Returning to the centre of your self is the journey of one second. It is the regular destination of clever souls. And it is the source of your power and peace.

This Theatre of 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.

Change
Knowing that all things move in cycles reminds us that what is uncomfortable now will soon change.

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. Today is the day to practice positive, detached observation, and each emotion-filled moment is the opportunity. This is 'real' work. The work of one who is a master of their own consciousness. Are you a master or a slave?

Understanding
Most people don't understand themselves or others. we need to make time for this. We get too impatient. Very often, because we are not willing to take this time, misunderstandings continue. We don't take time to listen to someone quietly and try to understand them. Then we start inventing things about them, because we simply haven't taken the time to understand.

True love
True love means creating an environment where others can grow. In relationships, we often expect things from those we get close to. These expectations can stifle the other person and also stop us from allowing the other person to develop in a way that is right for them.

The Beauty Within
You see behind the masks and beneath the fears to the beauty within every heart.

Cripple Effect
What goes around comes around is not a new insight. It is something most of us intuitively know but easily forget, as we attempt to hold on to most things which come to us. What we don't realise is the ripple effect can easily become the cripple effect. Everything we think and do not only ripples out into the world, it also creates an impression on our own consciousness inside. If one day you decide to get really angry (very unrelaxing) at someone, then you create a memory of your irritation and carve a kind of scar or groove on your consciousness (non-physical of course). Within this scar or groove is a recording of the image of the person as you have decided to perceive them, and the energy of your anger surrounding that image. Remember, you put it there, not them. Two days later you see the same person and that triggers the image and the anger which you have already recorded within. The emotional turbulence inside your consciousness makes it very hard for you to remain positive, connect and communicate effectively, positively and harmoniously with them. In effect you are crippled and clouded by your own emotion. Most of us experience this, sometimes many times a day, but refuse to see that we cripple ourselves, preferring to blame the other person. Which is why we can stay crippled for a long time and not even realise it.

Heart of a Butterfly
"...the caterpillar has the heart of a butterfly!” It is true that if we know within our hearts what we want to become, then we will become that.

Friendship
Any worthwhile realtionship is based on friendship. True friendship is a great blessing. Friendship creates respectful space; a space of encouragement to be one's self. Friendship creates a trust that nurtures self-esteem.

Trust
When we think we can do things without other people's help, it means we have become arrogant or are unable to trust others. This lack of trust means we miss the chance to use others' potential for the benefit of the task in hand. We are deprived of a useful resource and will not achieve as much as we could by working together.

The Value of Openess
I need to keep my mind constantly open to learning in order to experience constant progress. When I have this attitude I learn from everything that happens. Then I will be able to improve in each and every task.

At Ease
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.

Lost and Found
Being lost in thought, thinking about things to do, what's been done, what could have been done... is not only tiring but also a brilliant way to waste energy. It diminishes your peacefulness and clouds your clarity. Every time you become lost in thought it means exactly that - you are lost! To find yourself, allow your mind to become quiet, to become utterly tranquil. In the quiet depths of every being, there is a stillness that contains a deep inner peace and wisdom that can guide you in your life.

Send Peace
The call of time is to send thoughts of peace and power to the world. Your thoughts travel, moving at a great speed and with considerable impact. Let the thought of peace sit in your mind, knowing that the vibes from your thoughts can radiate out and touch any person, any place.

The Cause of all Conflicts
Desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have the more fear there usually is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.

A Day of Simplicity
Peace is simplicity. Simplicity is beauty. Choose a day as your day of simplicity. Speak little, and listen with attention. Do something incognito and nice for a person you are close to. Eat simple and natural food. Create time periods for not doing anything - just walk, look around, live the moment. Have your mind open to a more profound and silent sensitivity. Appreciate each scene and each person as they are. In the evening, write down your discoveries. Observe the state of your mind.

Free of Fear
The secret of happiness is to be free of fear. Fear is like a toxin that runs through much of our thinking. It feeds on insecurity, feeling of loss, loneliness, inadequacy and attachment. You are loveable and loving. Accept this as Truth. Appreciate and care for yourself - truly, deeply, intensely, in a way that reflects your real value. Then you will automatically have the same regards for all other living beings and things.

Help Yourself
Unfortunately these two words tend to describe the generally selfish and materialistic culture in which most of us live. They result not in self-help but in dependency. Our education and our role models do not encourage us to help ourselves to grow, change and expand our capacities as human beings. Real self-help means recognising that no one else is responsible for our thoughts and feelings, and that we are only ever victims because we choose to be. Our destiny is always and only in our own hands - despite all apparent evidence which may indicate otherwise. Learning to help ourselves is also a prerequisite to extending a hand of assistance to others. We all need a leg up from time to time, but once there, we are always on our own.

Think BIG
Rise above little things. Be a big thinker. You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, dream big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, image big, love big, live big. Carry that list and you'll start feeling big. Be a believer and you'll be an achiever.

Take Time To Laugh
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. Take time to think, it is the source of power. Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to love and be loved, it is a God-given privilege. Take time to work, it is the price of success.

Fire of Anger
Imbibe the virtues of humility and patience and the fire of anger will become cool.

Thoughts, Words and Deeds
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Non-Violence
Non-violence is a very deep philosphy. Not only does it require me to harm no one physically, but also to avoid harming anyone's self respect. Such an ethic requires tremendous awareness and sensitivity. When I have learned to be gentle with myself, I can be the same with others.

Seeds Planted in the Past
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.

A Trickle in the Darkness
Contentment is like an underground river whose course just cannot be daunted. On the surface, people are stamping, pushing, pulling; the ground is cracking or left derelict but underneath the river is flowing, even if at some point it is only a trickle in the darkness.

Freedom
The true hero not only frees the self but has the capacity to free others from their dragons. Ultimately it is a state of being not action. Freedom can be called the state of purity, in which intentions and actions have become naturally benevolent.

Pratice Stopping
When you learn you drive, you have to practice stopping. In the same way, practice putting a stop to waste thoughts and you will be constantly happy.

Am I Happy?
If there is any sadness I make a strong effort to be free of it quickly, otherwise it grows like a vine in the rainy season: by midday I will be confused; by evening a whole jungle of weak, wasteful and negative attitudes will have taken deep roots in my mind. The result equals chaos. Sometimes I reach a stage where the attitude is: "So what if I feel the blues today? It is my life; no one else will be affected". Firstly, the more I allow myself to experience sorrow, the less time I have available to be happy and contented. It sounds ridiculously obvious, but am I aware of the value of happiness? It is an extremely rare commodity, and the cost goes sky high. Secondly, is it my life? Yes, I am living it, but am I not a member of a family or a co-worker with others, and am I not part of society? If so, then every movement affects and is affected by those around me.

Compassionate Soul
A compassionate soul will travel great distances and scale high walls in order to understand another point of view.

The Secret to Being Content
To be peaceful is to be free from expectations and to want nothing from anyone. Take the initiative and be generous. Lead the way and do something. This is the secret to being content in all circumstances.

Determination
Determination is an unbroken line, a backbone. Without determination life becomes scattered. Determination makes you sit up straight and love everything.

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. Self-confidence runs much deeper than nerves.

Speech Economy
To be economical with words gets things done more easily. When we say too much, people switch off and stop listening. When I think carefully about what I need to communicate, I can do it with fewer words. Other people then become more willing to listen.

My Holidays....

2011-09-25T18:21:00.002+08:00

Last 2 weeks I finally had a chance to put myself in an enjoying but tiring trip. My trip consisted of 3 places: Kuala Lumpur-Johor-Singapore. The trip was almost 10 days and 9 nights.. I went to the places with my best friend, Yik Chun. Long time didn't go out with her like that.

It had been almost 2 years I didn't went to KL since my last degree convocation. I got the chance to walk around the city and enjoy the foods that I crave for so long. Especially the korean food and Nando's. Finally, I can enjoyed the food.

This is the korean food that me n yc took on the 1st day of our trip when we had gathering with our friends in KL. I really liked these dishes. It really OMG when I put the food in my mouth.

When we were in KL, we kept on window shopping and bought things that we needed. Especially the comic books. Yc also had her mission on buying things for her family. It's a lot. I like to try new things especially food. On the 2nd day, I went to eat dinner with my mum. She met me after she went to my sis's convo. We went to a taiwanese cuisine restaurant at sg. weng. For me, the dishes were nice. I liked it very much.

This is the taiwanese cuisine we took for dinner.

Nando's, one of the favourite place I like to go when I studied at KL. I like the taste of the chicken as the side dishes also.
Thanks yc for buying the donuts from J Co. Having the chance to have McD breakfast at KL. Chicken rice from Universal Studio and dish from one of the food court in Singapore. The chicken rice especially took my breath away. Not that it's nice but the price it sold at the theme park in Singapore. it's like having gold decorate the chicken or the rice iis filled with gold. i never thought of chicken rice will be sold at this kind of price. $S10++. If convert to RM is like 'Wao'. Almost same price with the Nando's meal.

When in JB, we stayed at our friend's house, Xue Yan. Her parents welcomed us with crab bihun, her dad's best cooking. It's special for me as this is the first time I ate bihun like this. We stayed at her house for one night and went to Singapore together the next day.

Pictures we took together when we were at KL's gathering and my friend's wedding. Really long time no see them.. We really had a long chat..

This trip I got the chance to go to Singapore. This is the first time I stepped on the land of Singapore. When I took MRt for the first time carrying my luggage to go to my friend's house, it was like 'OMG, there are a lot of people.' People mountain people sea. I was like sardin when I was in the train. There are reserved seats in the trains. But most of the time there are little people will willing to give the seats to the people in need. Most of the people in the trains have their smart phones in their hands. Watching videos, listening to songs, playing games and etc.

When we were in Singapore, we went to the Universal Studio. The place is quite big and tired to walk. I just played some games. My friends said it's not worth for me to go inside as I didn't play much of the games. But for me, it's worth as I had stepped inside the theme park. :p

It's a long trip for me. I almost fall sick after coming back from the trip. I need to go to work the next day after I came back from the trip. I enjoyed my trip. But when I saw a pile of works on my table in the office I want to scream. Pathetic.

Tomorrow I need to think which place I want to sit as I was asked to change place. I have to move my things and arrange cabinets. Haii... I really like my existence place... Need to say bye to my lovely neighbours...

Really need to add oil now..

Thought For Days

2011-09-25T18:02:00.002+08:00

Relationships With Others
A sensible person knows it is a waste of time and energy to get angry. Effort will then have to be made to reconstruct that relationship. It is much more useful to breathe deeply, pay attention to your attitude and answer without rushing. In this way, improve and strengthen your relationships with others. Create trust and your mistakes will be forgiven.

A Real Diamond
To spread the sparkle of your pure and elevated vibrations into the world is to be a real diamond.

With Love
Teaching others is best done with love, once the heart has understood, the mind opens.

Heads and Hearts
To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart.

Co-operation Through the Mind
Never come into conflict with anyone's personality traits, but harmonise personality traits. Even if someone else causes a disturbance, just remain silent. You must not create any complications, but instead give them the co-operation of peace.

Lasting Fragrance
Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing. Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat. Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships. Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.

Freedom
Freedom is a state of mind. Understanding the self is the key to freedom. The more one understands the self, the easier it is to be liberated from the chains of waste and negativity. Freedom is to be uninfluenced and unaffected, to be at peace with the self. Real freedom is to experience the true essence of one's being.

Within Me
Even in today's world, beauty and truth can still be found and the first place to start looking is within my own self.

The Great Enemy
The great enemy of peace is ego. Ego makes you judge others and think about them in an unkind way. It makes you force others to do what you want. In this way you forget you are a student and that you are here to learn.

Filled With Treasures
All human beings have a place inside which is filled with treasures; be still and you will find it.

Keeping A Cool Head
Maintaining a state of inner calmness protects me from becoming a slave to my emotions. It also helps me to keep a cool head when I see others becoming heated or angry. Coolness is not to be distant or uncaring; rather it requires that I develop the deeply caring nature of a peacemaker and serve others in the best possible way.

Courage
One of the highest forms of courage is the ability to face my own negativity without feeling guilty or bad about myself, and then take responsibility for changing it. To begin this process, I first make contact with my deepest spiritual core. Reflecting on the things I care about mostly gives me a glimpse of my innate goodness. Building on this, God will, if I let Him, gently reveal in me a caring and compassionate nature that can even be described as divine. The courage to let go of unwanted thoughts and feelings will develop when I accept that my higher, divine self is not separate from me, but lies at the very heart of who I am.

Sweetness
Sweetness is a virtue that searches with patience for the good in every person and situation.

Cleanliness
The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart. If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn't want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness.

True Benevolence
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.

Peacemaker
The first lesson on the path of becoming a peacemaker is to stop being at war with myself. It is only when the turbulence of my mind ceases that I can begin to make peace with the world

Introversion
The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts away from all my responsibilities at the day's end and take my mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables me to carry greater and greater loads without feeling the burden. When my inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently, I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Create A Peaceful Thought
When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

Exercise and Diet
Unhealthy lifestyles are rooted in the mind and seeded in the soul. The spiritual exercise of the mind involves taking the mind out of the physical body and to the subtle, angelic body of light and then to our state of being a soul - a sentient point of light and power. As for diet control, pure thoughts are the healthy diet for the mind. Creative thoughts are like vitamins and positive thoughts provide proteins that build will power, while thoughts of serving others are like carbohydrates, which provide energy for the mind.

Embrace Change
When you are aware and accept that everything around you is constantly changing, and that you have no control over 99.99% of it, you are able to embrace change like a close friend! Change is a like a river, constantly flowing and moving things around. The river of life is constantly bringing you ideas, people, situations - each one is an opportunity to be enriched or to enrich others, and to learn. Change is the play of the universe as it entertains us in the biggest light and sound show of all time. Why not sit back and enjoy the show?

Vibrations of Happiness and Peace
While listening to news of this world filled with sorrow, with your stable intellect, give vibrations of happiness and peace to the peaceless and unhappy souls.

Ego Is The Enemy Of Peace
The great enemy of peace is ego. Ego makes you judge others and think about them in an unkind way. It makes you force others to do what you want. In this way you forget you are a student and that you are here to learn. Instead of learning, if you start giving advice, telling people what they should do and trying to change them,you are forgetting an important lesson in life. You can only change yourself not others.

Free From Worry
Worries are an excuse for not doing what you really have to be doing. With worry no problem can be resolved. Focus your attention on the present, act with initiative and the understanding that being calm and free from worry is far more effective.

Automatically Revealed
Anything you keep within you will automatically reveal itself. Therefore make sure your character is always full of divine virtues. These will be revealed through your eyes, your words and your behaviour and you will be capable of having great influence on others.

Positive Attitude
See and hear every person and every situation with a positive attitude. By thinking that everything is good, everything becomes good. Make the attitude of your mind good and powerful and even something bad will become good.

Diamond alone can cut another diamond and a thorn alone will have to be used to remove another thorn. The tendency to be greedy can be cured by another facet of greed. Instead of showing attachment towards worldly objects, one's attention should be directed towards divinity. We can be greedy to acquire spiritual knowledge. Let me possess a deep desire to develop forgiveness, politeness, straightforwardness and peacefulness.

Gently, With Patience
The habit of telling myself off subtly shapes a nature of sorrow. Instead, let me talk to myself gently, with patience, as one would do to a child Self -transformation.

Anger
Never give way to anger - otherwise in one moment you could burn up the joy that you collected over a long period.

Tolerance
Someone who has tolerance won't even say "I have to tolerate," because that implies they are feeling sorrow. Instead, they will say, "It's not a problem. There is something for me to learn in this." Whatever the situation, tolerance enables me to learn. Perhaps I need patience, or humility, or understanding. Tolerance allows me peace, and my love to stay constant. That way I stay connected with the Source of all that is good, so that I can help both myself and others.

Cherished Soul
Greet life with enthusiasm and confidence by constantly maintaining the awareness of how cherished you are.

Improving Your Relationships
A sensible person knows it is a waste of time and energy to get angry. Effort will then have to be made to reconstruct that relationship. It is much more useful to breathe deeply, pay attention to your attitude and answer without rushing. In this way, improve and strengthen your relationships with others. Create trust and your mistakes will be forgiven.

Timeless Beauty
Learn to go beyond words into silence, sit with your innermost self and experience the nourishing, timeless beauty of peace.

Contentment
To make good use of what you have and to let go of what you do not have is to live in a contented way.

Something Different
Give happiness and you will receive happiness. Give peace and you will feel peaceful. Give sorrow and you will get sorrow in return. Create thoughts and words that give only peace and happiness. The world is filled with worry and sorrow. Do something different.

A New Person
Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

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.

Faith
When I am continuously being battered by the storms of life, and my very spirit is ebbing away, then all I need to do is hang onto that gift called 'Faith', that one support which will weather the storms. Faith does not depend on a clever head, only belief: belief in the self and the strength that lies within. Faith is the seed of victory and the foundation of making the impossible possible.

Respect-worthy
To harmonise your ideas with the ideas of others and to give everyone respect is the means to become respect-worthy.

How Not to Get Tired
It's not busy-ness in life that makes us tired. It's thinking too much that makes us tired. How not to get tired? Don't get distracted, get upset or get too 'lost' in anything or anyone. Don't think too much about the work. Just do it! Then your mind will stay rested whilst you work.

Courage
Courage is to take a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed, but knowing that God's hand is stretched out to pull you.

Change
It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is
the first law of Nature.

Great Donor
Become a great donor and generous hearted. Donate good wishes at every second and in every thought.

Balance
Maintain the balance of responding to situations with a cool head and to people with a warm heart.

Kindness
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

The Game of Life
By seeing life as a game, your lightness of spirit will make problems seem easier.

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

Happiness
Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey. Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. Happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision. Happiness is what you are, not what you have.

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.

Peace Is Not Passive
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.

Spirituality in Daily Life
Spirituality is not a luxury, something for people who have nothing else to do but sit around and meditate. In fact, it is the lack of spirituality in daily life that is causing the breakdown and destruction of our planet and our civilisation. As we restore spirituality we can find methods of working together to create better selves and a better world. Thus we can see, looking at our global relationships, that spirituality is an integral part of life.

Speechless.. This is what I can feel now... Supposedly beginning of this month I should be doing nothing.. I think as my assignment list haven come out. But, last week my senior had informed me that she will couch me to do audit on property development. I thought she wants to teach me new things. But, today I just know that my senior maybe leaving the company soon. She is now handing over the thing to us. For me there is good and bad. Good thing is I learn new things. Bad thing is my senior go already.. One of the backbone of the company. No one to search for when there is problem arise.

I had been busy for almost five months. Non stop of ot. Busy clearing the works and assignments. Rushing for the deadlines and clients' requirements. For me this year is the busiest period for me. I never think that I will be handling so much accounts and big companies. For me busy is the word that I can say. Busy.. Busy.. Busy..

After the peak, it's quite free... Nothing to do.. Some of us just sit there staring and doing nothing. Talking and chatting.. If not just start complaining. Doing the last work of the work.. Start to find something to do.. Free.. Free.. Free..

Now I just wish that when the new assignment list come out I can accept what I had been assigned for... Desperate.............................................................................................................................

Thought For Days

2011-07-28T19:33:00.002+08:00

Calming The Mind
Don't give your mind permission to get disturbed. A disturbed mind is easily influenced. This will cost you your peace. Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments. Competing or comparing yourself with others will not allow you to focus inwards. An inner focus allows you to keep your eye on your higher self. Remember your original nature. It allows you to forge a link with the Divine. Then it becomes easy to recognise useless thoughts and replace them with a spiritual perspective. A calm mind is not just peaceful, it is focused, self-directing and Divine.

Resolve Conflict
There has probably never been a time where there has been so much fear and conflict across the world, not just across oceans and borders but across the breakfast table. In fact many now prefer conflict to peace, as they become addicted to the actions of anger and aggression, and the adrenaline rush which results. They don't really want conflict to end, in fact, they will say that some conflict is good to get things done and stimulate change. They are not aware that they are killing themselves. All conflict is simply a symptom of attachment to a position. And as we know, this generates fear, and fear, if allowed to stay, eventually kills it's host. All solutions are based on detachment or letting go. But that will be difficult until we can see that all possession is an illusion, that we have nothing to lose and that there are no victories in winning.

There Is God
Behind every flower there is a seed, and behind every painting there is an artist, behind every human being there is God.

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

Impact
Make every thought, word and deed such that the impact gives someone courage and zeal and enthusiasm.

Enjoy Moments of Silence
When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

Sense of Humour
Steer easily through life by keeping a light touch on the controls, and a strong sense of humour.

New Perspective
It is easy to create new things, change places or do something different. To keep that sense of newness that creates enthusiasm is more difficult. The secret of newness in life is not to do new things constantly, but to see everything you do with new eyes, new insights and a new perspective.

Patience
Patience is a reflection of the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated. It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and, with this patience acquires the power to deal with all situations.

Doing the Right Thing
The world is a stage and we are all actors. Each actor plays a unique part and is responsible for their own actions. Responsibility means doing the right thing no matter how big or small the task may be. Each one of us has a special role to play in the making the world a better place.

Best of Friends
The best kind of friend is the kind, you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away, feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Precious Gifts
More valuable than the things we give to each other are the gifts of virtues we pass on quietly to others through our selfless and noble actions. These gifts are truly precious because they are imperishable and they multiply the more we share them.

Belief Power
If you are ready to alter some of the current outcomes in your life then you will need to start with your beliefs. There are many categories. First there are 'fatal beliefs' - "I can't, I'm not able, I never will." These are the beliefs we have about ourselves, that set the boundaries and limitations of ourselves. Then there are 'blocker beliefs' - "My kid is stupid...my boss is an idiot...did you see that crazy person?" These are beliefs about others and, for however long they last, they block the flow of energy in a relationship. They are bricks in the walls we build between each other. Then there are 'survival beliefs' - "Get what you can while you can....there is not enough to go around...you have to look after number one." These beliefs would have us live in fear and anxiety, otherwise known as insecurity. We can choose our beliefs. But first we may have to unchoose the ones that have crept in over the years, now living comfortably 'below stairs' and seem to be part of our inner furniture. If you want different outcomes in your life, change your beliefs first. Clean up down stairs!!

Generosity
If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.

Happiness in the Heart
To have questions in your heart means to be distressed and to cause distress for others. Therefore, be one who has happiness in the heart, not questions in the heart.

An Ancient Peace
There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a love you have missed for so long and will always come back to.

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.

Values
Values are related to each other as if they were members of a great family .
From peace and happiness emerges inner joy. From this state of wholeness love awakens and with is the desire to share and give . Two of its relatives are tolerance and respect.
All values have a shared origin which unites them - the peace of spirituality.
When you lose peace you begin to lose everything.

Creativity
Acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from an inner sanctuary of silence from which inspiration flows. 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.

The Secret to Being Content
To be peaceful is to be free from expectations and to want nothing from anyone. Take the initiative and be generous. Lead the way and do something. This is the secret to being content in all circumstances.

True Peace
True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.

Rich Person
A rich person is not someone who has more, but someone who desires less.

Calmness & Silence
Calmness increases efficiency. Silence increases effectiveness.

Observe and Reflect in Silence
Many times with the good intention of solving a problem you become part of the problem. In order to accept the problem it is more practical firstly to remain silent and serene . It is not necessary to understand the causes but to find solutions. Observe and reflect in silence and then make a decision.

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.

Get Past Your Past
Let the past be the past - both my past and the past of others.
There's no need to keep repeating the past in my head.
Think: Whatever happened, happened, it's OK for me to move on. Let me be supportive and make it easy, not difficult - for myself and others.
When I stay in the present, everything is pleasant.

Enemy of Happiness
The enemy of happiness is wasteful thoughts. To stop yourself from thinking wasteful thoughts focus your mind on God.

Cheerfulness
The one who possesses cheerfulness becomes like a magnet of goodwill.

True Greatness
The one who can adjust to any situation with humility possesses true greatness.

Interfere Lovefully
One of the deepest habits we learn is interfering in others' lives. Even if we are not actively interfering there is a good chance it's happening in our heads. Then, when people don't do what we want them to do, which is usually all the time, our ability to relax is non existent. If you want to interfere successfully in someone else's life, try this loveful approach. It begins with acceptance, continues with acknowledgement, is empowered by appreciation and ends in actualisation. Only in this way can we help others be all that they can possibly be, and what else is life for, but to help others to be all that they can be. Only by making love practical in this way, can we heal our own habits of criticism, envy and blame. Accept, acknowledge and appreciate. It doesn't mean you have to agree, comply or condone. The paradox is that we ourselves will receive the same in the process, not only from ourselves, as we become what we give, but from others along the way. Why? It's the law!

Good Software
Positive thoughts are like good software that helps us to perform to the best of our abilities.

An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.

Plant The Seed Of Peace
As our thought so is our consciousness, and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you will gather the calm.

Quality Spotting
A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.

Trustee Consciousness

We all have a relationship with everything. Obviously the relationship we have with the people and objects in our immediate vicinity is more intimate than the rest of the world. For most of us the most common relationship is possession. In our minds we think we own and possess things like cars and houses and carpets and golf clubs etc. This thinking easily spreads into jobs and tasks and positions and perhaps even other people. "I want you", and "You are mine alone", is the essence of many romantic film scripts and song lyrics. What we forget is that this relationship is wrong. It is not possible to possess anything. Care for..yes. Use...yes. But possess...no. You can't take it with you when you go, so we say! And yet it's the idea of possession which lies at the heart of all fear, war and conflict. Can you see it? Fear of loss, fear of not acquiring what we have already decided is ours in our minds. So what is a better relationship we can choose which takes all the fear away. Be a trustee. Everything comes to us in trust, for us to use and then to set it free. The consciousness of trustee sets us free of the tension of grasping and guarding. To see ourselves as trustees of everything that we receive, including our bodies, encourages our innate capacity to 'care for with dignity'. It is a much more relaxing way of relating to the things which we are privileged to receive in life.

Respect
It is always easy to expect and demand respect from others. It is simple to criticise others for not being respectful or for being rude or for not showing the proper appreciation. It is difficult to ask respect from myself. Without respect I can never gain respect from others. Without self-respect I will always be performing self-defeating actions. Without self-respect I will always be looking outside myself and will constantly be at the whims and fancies of other people's dispositions.
I cannot get respect by asking for it. I only receive it when I give it to myself and to others.

Honesty
Honesty is to speak that which is thought and to do that which is spoken. There are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words or actions.

Harmony
All things have their time. All things have their answers. All things have their right to be. Accepting this reality, all things come into harmony.

Within Me
Even in today's world, beauty and truth can still be found and the first place to start looking is within my own self.

The Only Weapons I Need
In situations of conflict, I have to realise that the only weapons I need are a
smile and a loveful attitude.

Harmony
The harmony that exists within the minds of individuals will be reflected in harmonious society.

Lasting Fragrance
Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing. Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat. Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships. Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.

Thoughts For Days

2011-06-12T16:02:00.002+08:00

Spirituality in Daily Life
Spirituality is not a luxury, something for people who have nothing else to do but sit around and meditate. In fact, it is the lack of spirituality in daily life that is causing the breakdown and destruction of our planet and our civilisation.
As we restore spirituality we can find methods of working together to create better selves and a better world. Thus we can see, looking at our global relationships, that spirituality is an integral part of life.

Being
Do you spend most of your life running after things, doing things? Have you forgotten that being comes before doing? Those who remeber this secret make an effort to 'be' and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed.

Head and Heart
To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart.

Create Continuously
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 is a work of art called, 'my life'. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today - it matters.

Enjoy and Feel Peace
The theatre of life has its own script. Each instant is unique. Live each moment as if it were the most important of all. You will enjoy and feel peace. Discover your spirit and the treasure within.
Your spirit is full of peace.
Your spirit is peace.

The Key to Peace
Humanity is like a tree. Each human being is connected with the Seed and belongs to the same tree. The beauty of the tree is that it has different branches and on each branch, numerous leaves.
All individuals are also different and have their own role. Think about what we have in common and you will appreciate every human being.
This is the key to remain at peace.

Easier Than It Seems
Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life.
You will find it is easier than it seems.

Follow Your Compass
Those who are wise live according to their purpose. Their life gives meaning to everything they do. They do not live by the clock, but instead follow their compass. This ensures they are on the road that leads directly to their destiny.

Self-Confidence
Firm faith and self-confidence in your goals determine your destiny. Be sure not to forget your goals; do not allow doubts to come. Instead of seeing problems, see only opportunities.

Delight
Take delight in small things because it is from seeds that flowers grow.

Like A Star
At the end of the day, on the wings of your thoughts, go beyond the cares and troubles of the world. Remove your mind from everything and everyone, and become blissfully detached, like a star. Like a star, be free to radiate light, for your essence is light and peace. Enjoy the simplicity of the night sky, the peace. And then, when you want to, you can shoot down to earth.

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.

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.

Depth of Humility
Humility means to understand the self and through that to understand others as well. Humility is the attitude where a person is not attached to his or her opinion and feelings. Humility is the most natural expression of truth. It helps in better understanding of truth. Humility is the basis for maintaining self-respect. Humility does not mean bowing down and being subservient to others. Humility allows you to see benefit in everything. Developing humility brings a lot of comfort and ease into your life.

The Weak, The Brave And The Strong
Anger is weakness, tolerance is bravery. Humility makes you strong.

Plant The Seed Of Peace
As our thought so is our consciousness, and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you will gather the calm.

Look Before You Leap
Whatever actions you perform, check the consequences and then perform that action. Then you will never say I don't know how this happened. I didn't mean it to happen. If you do not pay attention, lines of tension then become visible on your face.

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.

See Only Virtues and Specialities
An ant is tiny beside an elephant but as soon as an ant enters the ear of an elephant it goes crazy. The elephant’s ears are so big, the elephant itself is so big and yet a tiny ant makes it go wild. In the same way, if I allow the slightest defamation of anyone go through my ears, I lose all my spirituality. I lose all my value because I start interacting with others on the basis of what I have heard about them. Pay attention to this! We have to be very, very selective in what we allow to enter our ears. Let me learn to see only virtues and specialities. Let me not concentrate on anyone’s weaknesses.

Change Skill
There is nothing more certain than that the world will continue to change. Accepting and not resisting this, is the first and most important inner skill in this frenetically changing, modern world. Life tests us every day to see how well we have developed this ability. Equally, there is nothing more real than the inner space within each of us that never ever changes. We may change our thoughts, our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our own self. The ability to be in this inner space, where our peace is found, when all around would prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest spiritual change skill. It is the eye of the storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the place where peace is power. Call in today. You'll be surprised how much it can influence and change everything and everyone around you!

An Ancient Peace
There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a love you have missed for so long and will always come back to.

Space For God
The best solutions to problems will not be the result of hard thinking. Use your time better by creating peaceful thoughts, and problems will cease to affect you. Do not try to solve everything on your own. Leave some space for God to come and help you.

New Response
If you can see and accept that you create your own stress according to how you are responding, you will then see that there is something you need to unlearn as well as learn. The old response needs to be unlearned, and a new response needs to be learned.

Relationships
A sensible person knows it is a waste of time and energy to get angry. Effort will then have to be made to reconstruct that relationship. It is much more useful to breathe deeply, pay attention to your attitude and answer without rushing. In this way, improve and strengthen your relationships with others.

Ocean of Peace and Silence
It is said that rest is best. Imagine an ocean of peace and silence and plunge into it. Let your mind relax and enjoy moments of tranquillity. Free yourself from wasteful thoughts. This is the best type of rest.

Mistakes
When you make a mistake, learn from it, resolve not to repeat it and then forget about it. You will feel better again. Do the same with others, instead of making their mistakes bigger, dissolve them in your mind and help them also to forget about them.
A sensible person does not criticise the mistakes of others, instead, he learns from them for the future.

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

The Value of Silence
Silence means unplugging, disconnecting from the many sources that absorb our energy: problems, worry, pleasing, fear and overload. To be released quickly from all these debilitating socket points, we need to become introspective and quiet. This revitalises our thoughts.
Every thought we create is energy and it produces its own current, whether negative or positive. In quietness I step inside and I stabilise myself in the thought of that original peace. Then slowly, I begin to feel great. This original current of peace releases me from burden and fear.

Happiness Is What You Are
Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey. Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now. Happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision. Happiness is what you are, not what you have

The Final Analysis
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are Honest, People may cheat you, but be Honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow. Do Good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it never was between you and them anyway.

Understanding
Most people don't understand themselves or others. we need to make time for this. We get too impatient. Very often, because we are not willing to take this time, misunderstandings continue. We don't take time to listen to someone quietly and try to understand them. Then we start inventing things about them, because we simply haven't taken the time to understand.

Angels
An angel is a guest for he cleans up behind him. Where there has been misunderstanding he returns to clarify, where there has been hatred he offers love. He is never without gifts and always without burden.

Forgetting and Remembering
Life is a game of forgetting and remembering. You are losing the game when you ... forget who you are and what you are doing here, remember the false things of the past and what they did to you.
You are winning the game when you ... remember your true identity of peace, remember the One who is always peaceful and has unconditional love for you, forget the troubles of the past and move forward with the lessons learned.
Observe what you remember during the day and what you forget.

Feeling Great
Enthusiasm is the master key to feeling great. It keeps the self extremely positive beyond the pull of negativity while simultaneously making others feel uplifted too. To develop enthusiasm, have faith in the goodness of life, and in the original goodness of the self and others.
Dadi Janki

Behind the Masks
You see behind the masks and beneath the fears to the beauty within every heart.

Determination
It is because you are determined, not flawless, that you attain perfection.

Light Hearted Soul

You are a light hearted soul who laughs in the face of fear,and only cries tears
of joy.

Be At Peace
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.

Wings to Fly
You are a courageous soul who recognises that whatever you face will become the wings with which to fly.

Like A Star
At the end of the day, on the wings of your thoughts, go beyond the cares and troubles of the world. Remove your mind from everything and everyone, and become blissfully detached, like a star. Like a star, be free to radiate light, for your essence is light and peace. Enjoy the simplicity of the night sky, the peace. And then, when you want to, you can shoot down to earth.

Enemy of Happiness
The enemy of happiness is wasteful thoughts. To stop yourself from thinking wasteful thoughts focus your mind on God.

Change
It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is the first law of Nature

Spaces Of Silence
Push yourself like a machine and you will eventually run low on energy. Love your mind by allowing it spaces of silence and it will serve you tirelessly.

Wisdom
You have the determination to plant seeds of change now, and the wisdom to wait for the fruits to emerge.

Honesty & Clarity
Honesty does not mean simply speaking your mind. Honesty means to be very clear about everything going on inside you. Where there is honesty, feelings become pure and clean. Honesty is where there are no other thoughts or feelings inside, other than those that God himself would have. Such clarity is reflected in your words; they will be filled with the power of truth, and spoken with ease and without hesitation. The genuine honesty cultivated within you is what will reach out and touch others..

Humility
Humility dismisses nothing, rather, it takes even small things into consideration. It recognises that whatever life presents, needs to be respected. Small things are easily found in something big, but inside little things there is often greatness.

Mind & Heart
A mind filled with peace creates a heart filled with contentment.

Keep It Simple
To be simple means to be completely pure: to have royalty and greatness whilst being ordinary

Giving
With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity, With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny, With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. The saying, "what we give is what we receive". The lesson: Just to give.

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.

Character
When you do not upset yourself thinking about how others must change and instead you concentrate on your own change, good things start to happen. First, you will feel better about yourself. Second, you will start to have positive feelings towards others and start to understand them. Third, others start having a more positive attitude towards you.

Treasure of Happiness
Let the treasure of happiness always be with you and all other treasures will automatically come to you.

Big Heart
For those with a big heart, even impossible tasks become possible.

Harmony
All things have their time. All things have their answers. All things have their right to be. Accepting this reality, all things come into harmony.

Creating Thoughts Of Benefit
Acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from an inner sanctuary of silence from which inspiration flows. 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.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!

Actually, this is not a special day for Malaysia. But, for me and my friends we all very excited about this day because this is the day Prince William and Catherine Middleton's royal wedding. During the overtime, we quickly open youtube and watch the royal wedding online. We are so excited when we see the cars drive out from the Buckingham Palace and arrive at Westminster Abbey which the wedding service will be held at. When I see Kate come out from the royal car, I am stunned by her look in the wedding dress. She is gorgeous and outstanding.

Special Night...

2011-04-17T22:00:00.002+08:00

This evening, my aunt called to ask us to go for dinner at Mega Hotel since she had extra tickets. When we reached at the venue, my first thing to see is ' Wao.. So many Indians!!' Not that I never see Indians before but just that it's been a while I didn't see so many Indians at one time since I'm back from KL.

I never think that Miri got so many Indians as more than half of the hall is full with Indians sitting at the table of ten. It's like 'wao' to me. Tonight event is organised by Miri Indian Association. The Indians are celebrating their Indian New Year. It's quite new for me since I never been to Indian festival. Celebrating their new year is my first time.

After the performance of dancing and singing, there is a lighting ceremony. It's the beginning of the event. This is my first time attending this kind of dinner. During this dinner, there are a lot of activities and performance. Besides the lucky draw, there are also singing and dancing. There are some guys playing the Indian instruments. The most special part is where there are some kids and youngsters become models to show us the traditional clothes of Indians. There are quite a number of clothes.

For me, tonight is a special night as this is my first time and I can see how the Indians celebrate their new year. I never think that Indians also got new year same like Chinese and Malays as I thought they just celebrate Deepavali. I think I'm the frog that sit in the well that never jump out from the well and always think that the world is as big as the well.. Short-minded I am.

There are many types of Indians just like Chinese. The new year they have is different too.

Indian New Year
VIshu (Kerala) Baisakhi (Punjab) Puthandu (Tamil Nadu) Ugadi (Karnataka & Andhra Pradesh) Gudi Padva (Maharashtra) Naba Barsha (Bengal) Aluth Avurudhu (Sri Lanka) Vaishakha (Bihar) Nau Roz (Kashmir) Goru Bihu (Assam)

Today I was said by my colleagues again. Haii.. This time even worse.. One of them ask me to sit beside the newcomer to teach him since the seat beside him is vacant. Speechless when I heard about it. What can I do? I just can sit there and smile. Nothing else... Haii...

Maybe they never think of they also ask for my help when I'm in the middle of busy war. I just oly offer my hands to guide him only. I know the feeling of first time of doing the work and need helps. I just don't want newcomers to feel that feeling.. Haii...

Tomorrow is a new brand day.. Busy again as need to rush my account.. Just hope that I still can cope with the 'jokes' they say..

Tired...

2011-04-10T12:08:00.002+08:00

Last week was a busy week for me since I got some assignments to rush for clients deadline.. This is what I don't like the most as the AGM deadline has not come but we have to meet the clients'. Besides, the newcomer came to office last week. New works and teaching are to be given to him since he is so new to the audit work.

Every time when I heard the words ' Chiam', 'Ms. Chiam', I will know that someone is calling for me. I have to come to rescue. Actually, I'm glad that I got the chance to help them up when they really need my help.

But, yesterday, during the time of O.T, one of my colleagues said that I was to good to the newcomer. Every time he called, although I was in the middle of work overload, I would straight away walked to him and helped him. She said since I was busy I could let others to help as the work was not given by me to him. In my thoughts, for me, I was responsible to teach him new things and guide him. If he needs helps I should have go there and help. Or maybe I shouldn't do like this. Just let him do the work by himself. But everyone is busy shouldn't someone come and teach him. Haii.. I really don't know what to do. I really can't answer her when she asked me that. If I didn't help my friends I will feel guilty as they called for helps just like last time.

Maybe she is correct. I should just keep myself in between. Help or no helps? Yes or no? It's a hard choice.

This morning I went to church with my mum.. As usual, I sat on the place where I use to sit. But, start from this week there will be some changes. Last time there is a family sit behind us. The grandma always talk with her granddaughters in the gathering. However, last Wednesday she passed away when she was attending activities. Fortunate she passed away i peace. No suffer. Actually, I quite missed her voice as every week I could hear her talking.

Although it's a sad new for the family, there is also good new for them. As the granddaughter has give birth to a son on the day after the grandma passed away. Good new to the family. A new life comes to the family. Congrats...

It has been one week since my last post. When surfing the net and check on my fb, there are still some news of TW on fb. Her friends still post their comments, love, feeling to her. Some videos and pictures are uploaded on her page also. It was so touching to see their friendship and relationship. They left their love and the feeling of missing her on the fb.

Now just hope that the family and friends will be slowly recover from the pain and sorrow..

Thought For Days

2011-04-03T12:00:00.002+08:00

Be Light
If I allow my mind to carry burdens, I will experience heaviness and become tired easily.

Honesty
Honesty is to speak that which is thought and to do that which is spoken. There are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words or actions.

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.

Send Peace
The call of time is to send thoughts of peace and power to the world. Your thoughts travel, moving at a great speed and with considerable impact. Let the thought of peace sit in your mind,knowing that the vibes from your thoughts can radiate out and touch any person, any place.

Self - Sovereignty
Subservience to my negativity is a very precarious existence as I can never be sure how well I will handle a difficult situation. With practice it is possible to create appreciative and compassionate thoughts; then I no longer need to indulge in resentment, bitterness or dislike. Training myself to react calmly and wisely offers enormouse dividends. Let me talk to myself silently with love and encouragement, balanced with firmness, and like the wise old sovereigns of fairy stories, let me rule the inner kingdom of my mind with benevolence.

Scattered Thoughts
Uncontrolled, scattered thoughts are like a speeding car. Unless you brake you'll crash. We need to put on the brakes if our minds are to work naturally. A natural mind is peaceful and a peaceful mind brings clarity.

Response Able
We now know that the true meaning of responsibility is response able or ability to respond. Whatever we may think, say, do, or feel - these are our responses for which we, and no one else, are responsible. This is easy to see but hard to live, for we have been taught to believe and think the opposite. So we don't consciously choose our response, we react instead, and then we blame others for our reaction. No wonder we feel imprisoned by others and our circumstances. The enlightened, on the other hand, have broken the spell, they see the illusion. They take full responsibility for their response abilities and as a consequence, they always hold their own destiny in their own hands. They are free spirits.

Filled With Treasures
All human beings have a place inside which is filled with treasures; be still and you will find it.

Royalty and Greatness
To be simple means to be completely pure: to have royalty and greatness whilst being ordinary.

Special Soul
You are a special soul who easily destroys obstacles with the generosity of your overflowing heart.

Sweetness
Sweetness is a virtue that searches with patience for the good in every person
and situation.

To Forgive
To tolerate someone else's mistakes is one thing. To forgive them is even greater.

UNBELIEVABLE.....

2011-03-25T20:34:00.002+08:00

What happened to this city now? Why got this kind of thing happen here. It's unbelievable... I never think and imagine this situation will happen around us.

This afternoon, after came back from client's office, waiting for the files in JM, I heard a bad and shocking new. A girl missing and was killed. The body was found this afternoon. OMG.. Can't imagine this.. She was just a 18 years old girl. Just received her exam result. A bright and long journey to go. Bright future.

Sad is the feeling I'm having now. Why this kind of thing happen in here? When I heard the news and details from my colleague I was like that son of bitch how dare and can he treat her like this. Why he let the girl ad her family suffer? It's hard to accept the death of a family member in this kind of way. Why he let this to happen? Is that for fun or revenge? Accidentally or on purpose? He should be locked up for his whole life.

Feel really sorry for the family for their lost. Now, I just hope that everyone (family and friends) will cope with the pain and suffer they go through. May God bless all of them and take their pains away.

TW, R.I.P..

Gossip and Slander
The man who has time for gossip and slander has no time for success.

Change
A fearless soul learns to adjust, understanding that change is the only constant
in our lives.

Mother's Love
A mother teaches her child with love and patience until the child learns. Be a mother and teach your mind to have positive thoughts and to let go of worries. Then when your mind needs peace, it will obey you.

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind comes not from wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are.
No Nourishment Like Happiness
It is said: There is no nourishment like happiness and no illness like worry. Constantly eat the nourishment of happiness.

Give Happiness
Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.

The Rejuvenating Power Of Silence
Silence has to be love-filled. Love actually inspires and moves all things towards their original freedom and happiness.

Thank God, It's Monday
Forget TGIF (Thank God, It's Friday).
Think TGIM (Thank God, It's Monday)!

Increase your motivation, commitment, passion and the feeling of fun in the workplace.

In other words, love what you do.
Then you'll happily go to work, Monday after Monday!

Happiness & Sadness

Happiness

Yesterday is 313. It's my birthday.. For me, it's only a normal day for. Wake up, go to church, lunch and so on. But, I had celebrated my birthday on few days before. Having dinner in Imperial Hotel and Chocolate Mud Cake from Secret Recipe. (Although the one I like is Chocolate Indulgence). Anyway, thanks to all my lovely colleagues for the dinner and cake.

Sadness

311.. Two days before my birthday. There's a big news happened. Japan is facing a serious disaster. Earthquake, tsunami and explosive..

Many people lost their relatives, families and also friends. Death and missing is what they are facing now. Disaster... I never imagine and dream that one day Japan will face this kind of disaster. Watching the news from tv, I was amazed by the reaction of Japanese.

Most of them are calm and accept what they faced. When they are in the shops, they still can queue up to wait for their turns to buy their needs. In railway station, they queue up to catch the train. How calm they are. They take turns to call their families..

If our country having this kind of disaster, I can't imagine how calm the people are.

The before and after the disaster also made me surprise. Everything is damaged. Nothing is in good shape. thousands of people died and many villages are disappeared.

Refer to this link... See the before and after. You can't believe on what you will be seeing..

Please Pray for Japan.. Pray for helps and needs that they need.

Finest Qualities
Let my eyes be a mirror for others, reflecting only the best and finest qualities.

The Power to Withdraw
I can withdraw from the organs of the body, and become the seed; detached, and the observer of this drama of life. Contentment comes.

These are powers enable the soul to have pure wishes of love for all others, as the soul itself has more power of love to give through being strong in all circumstances

The Power to Cooperate
I do not feel like I am competing against anyone, but rather I am helping all. Here, the surrender of ego is needed.

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action it experiences the practical form of these powers.

The Power to Face
Nothing seems like an obstacle, but rather a stepping stone to victory. To lack this power means to be dominated by external dramas.

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action it experiences the practical form of these powers.

The Power to Discriminate
Like the trained eye of a jeweller who discriminates the real from the imitation, I can discriminate what is true and what is false.

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action it experiences the practical form of these powers.

The Power of Judgement
I can accurately assess any situation with clarity and
confidence.

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes
into action it experinces the practical form of these powers.

The Power to Accommodate
Like the ocean that merges all that flows into it, I merge all that happens; so past is past, and the future seems clear and bright.

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action it experinces the practical form of these powers.

The Eight Powers - 2 The Power To Tolerate
These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action it experinces the practical form of these powers.

The Power To Tolerate
Irritation and annoyance disappear, and nothing disturbs my light frame of mind. The fragrance of this power is attractive to all.

These are powers that recharge the soul. As the soul comes into action it experinces the practical form of these powers.

The Power To Pack Up
In a second I can pack up all wasteful thinking, so the soul becomes light and free of burdens and worries.

Smile and Say "Hello"
In life you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "Hello".

Celebration
Everyday is a celebration because instead of waiting for happy endings, we open our eyes to the wonder of life, to see the humour and magic in each moment. Delighted in the way things turn out, amazed at the beauty of it all.

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.

Develop the Habit
Develop the habit of getting up early and sitting in silence. Read a peaceful thought and reflect on it. Write down some ideas about this thought. Return to silence, allowing these ideas to take root inside you. Share your ideas with a person close to you. This practice will help you accept and cope with conflicts and difficult situations. It will help you stay happy and peaceful for the rest of the day.

Diamond Consciousness
When you look at the world through your physical eyes, you will see all the facets of our diversity: culture, race, personality, religion and so on. Seeing only through your physical eyes, it is easy to become stubborn and to try to prove yourself right. However where there is stubbornness there is no love. And trying to prove the self right is equally offensive. A diamond will sparkle even in the dust; you do not ever need to prove that you are right. In the face of the dangers that come from seeing only with the physical eyes, always think: now is the time to go beyond all divisions, beyond all that limits us and our sense of self. Whatever the race, the religion, the class - our consciousness now has to go beyond all of that.

Totally Happy
My heart is full and open. Flowing with pure good feelings and good wishes for everyone. I follow my spontaneous instinct to give and I am totally happy.

Spiritual Love
Just as a kite flies high, held only by a string, our intellect can rise to the heights of wisdom, pulled only by the thread of spiritual love.

Higher Than the Sky
Keep wearing virtues as your ornaments. Keep loving others. Keep giving regard. You have to go beyond the stars. Keep thoughts higher than the sky, and abundance of patience like the earth. Keep spiritual love in your eyes.

Finally....

2011-02-21T19:09:00.002+08:00

Actually, when this morning when I stepped in the office, I had forgotten that today is the day my ACCA exam's result come out. I just totally forget about it and wanted to check it.

When I came back home, as usual, I will surf the net. Facebook, email and online novel.... Then when I open my mail to check my mail, OMG I just saw the word 'exam result'.. At that point I just realised to start pray. Although I think that it would not be useful then. Scare to click on that mail.

When I finally open the mail, scrolling down the page, pass by my name and id number, then the word 'result' come into my eyes. 'Pass' is the result I want. Haha.. I was so shocked when I see it. I really pass my paper. Oh My Godness... I finally pass my paper. After 5 times.. A long way to come to this.. Time and money... (convert to paun).. That's killing me..

Anyway, I finally pass it. I am so happy and shock in seeing the result. Now I need to prepare my next paper which is also my last paper.. Headache in looking at the books.. Haii... Add oil to me...

Hold My Hand
Performed by: Akon feat Michael Jackson

This life don’t last forever (hold my hand)
So tell me what we’re waitin’ for (hold my hand)
Better off being together (hold my hand)
Than being miserable alone (hold my hand)

Cause I’ve been there before
And you’ve been there before
But together we can be alright.
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight

So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I’ll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come in between us if you just hold, hold my, hold my, hold my hand.

The nights are getting darker (hold my hand)
And there’s no peace inside (hold my hand)
So why make our lives harder (hold my hand)
By fighting love, tonight.

Cause I’ve been there before
And you’ve been there before
But together we can be alright.
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We can just hold each other till we see the sunlight

So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I’ll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come in between us if you just hold my hand

15th of CNY....

2011-02-17T20:29:00.005+08:00

Today is the 15th of CNY, ie. Chap Goh Mei... Which is so called Chinese Valentine's. Today, my office off work one hour earlier than usual. I went back home at 3.30pm. When I reached home, I saw my mum busy preparing for the dinner since she also went back early from work.

Tonight special is my favourite, 'Ka Cha Ma'. This is my favourite. When we have dinner at my grandma's she will always prepare this dish. I like it... By the way, today my mum asked me to stand by and watched her cook. Today she is teacher I am student. There are a lot of things need to be prepared. Tea leaf, ginger, chickens and the most important is the alcohol... The most matter..
I enjoyed the dish as this is my favourite. After the dinner, I stayed at the kitchen with my mum. Waiting for her cut her bee hive cake. But this time the cake do not look like what she used to do. Different texture. But I prefer this. By the way it will also be my lunch tomorrow...

These two days, I was busy clearing the top three assignments in my lists. One has sent it to sign.. But still got two more on my desk as I need to called he client to come and take it. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me..

Still got 3 more hours, we need to say goodbye to CNY.. Before it last, I'm here to wish all my friends and family, ' Happy Chinese New Year & Happy Chap Goh Mei'. Enjoy the day....

First time..

2011-02-16T21:44:00.003+08:00

Just now, I went to Grand Palace Hotel to have dinner with my family and relatives. My uncle is the organiser and it shocked me as he never belanja us.. But, I'm still here want to thank him for the dinner.

Our first dish is Loh Sang.. Actually, this is my first time having this kind of dish.. Fatt Choy Yee Sang I think.. First time having this chance to Loh Sang is quite a good experience for me. Never thought of I got the chance to take part in this kind of event. Haha.. We ate almost ten dishes tonight. It's quite full for me since I don't eat much nowadays besides the big days..

Having the chance to eat with my relatives are a good experience for me. You only got the chance to gather when the big days are coming such Chinese New Year. Since everyone is busy with works and studies. Some even outstation and come back once a while. The bond between each other will increase when this kind of gathering is happening. I like this kind of gathering as I can eat a lot and have my favourite dish 'ka cha ma'. That what I'm looking for when we have family gathering...

Yee Sang is literally translated as raw fish but for Chinese it means abundance and prosperity. Yee Sang is a Chinese-style raw fish salad with salmon as the main ingredient. It is usually mix with shredded vegetables, various type of spices and sauce, jellyfish, pomelo and crackers.

Loh Sang means the act of tossing salad. For Chinese it means gathering prosperity. Auspicious wishes are usually uttered during the tossing (eg. wish all of us with good health) and we usually toss as high as possible (to reach for the stars!) using a pair of chopsticks.
I hope that you all have the chance to Lao Sang since it represents prosperity....

Sitting in front the home pc, I am still thinking what am I going to write this time. Before that, I went to read my friend's blog about her valentine's day. Pity her that she was sick on this special day. Just hope that she is well now and healthy everyday.

By the way, my niece got come to visit us also. What a sweet kid she is. She is smart and likes to talk.. She starts her primary school this year. I think she quite enjoys the study life despite the difficulties she faces. I like playing with her although sometimes I really need to guess on what she is talking about. Haha... Sometimes, I also ask her to spell some words. She is quite a fast learner.

Tomorrow start work again. 2nd day of the absence of my colleague sitting beside me. Today got the chance to meet her during the CNY visit. Tomorrow office will be little people in as most of them need to go out for audit. As for me, I need to rush for my accounts to be sent out for clients to sign. Deadline is reaching. Have to get use to it already as the peak will be coming soon.. Next month.. Quite fast the time has passed by...

First time write blog on this time. Late at night, for me. CNY still left 2 says. I'm here to wish all of you Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Chap Goh Mei....

Thought For Days

2011-02-13T15:35:00.002+08:00

An Ancient Peace
There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a love you have missed for so long and will always come back to.

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.

Eternal Star
There is a part of you that is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the less-than-perfect characteristics you have acquired by living in a less than perfect world. This part of you is a still and eternal star. Make time to reach it and this will bring you untold benefit.

Generosity
Do not hide the treasures in your heart in fear that they will be stolen - instead share them and find they multiply.

An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.

Tread Lightly
Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing. Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat. Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships. Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.

Cheerfulness
The one who possesses cheerfulness becomes like a magnet of goodwill.

The Colour of Flowers
Leave worries aside and you will be surprised by the beauty of the sky and the colour of flowers, of the freshness of the breeze and the generosity of the sun. You will feel you are part of creation, and life will start to make sense. The greatest wealth is to appreciate what we have and what we are.

Respect
Because you recognise that everyone is of unique value, you give regard to every soul by never comparing it to another.

Abundance
Abundance is to see that there are endless possibilities before us. And at the
same time, still see an incredibly rich existence right where we are. It is a feeling of gratitude for everything and everyone we have in our life.

Great Wealth
Even with a small bank account, the one who is contented finds himself with
great wealth.

Timeless Beauty
Learn to go beyond words into silence, sit with your innermost self and experience the nourishing, timeless beauty of peace.

Holding Hands...

2011-02-13T15:05:00.004+08:00

This morning, I went to church for Sunday worship. Before it start, I saw a husband holding the wife's hand in searching for place to sit. I like it when I saw it. They are always holding each other hands when I saw them.
There are different kinds of holding hands. For me, holding hands is a way to show love and friendship. It's a need in showing supports and also guides to people in needs.

I like this kind of holding hands. Parents and newborn child. The kind of love and trust that are needed.

The siblings kind of holding hands. Along the growing time....

Grandparents and grandchild's kind of holding hands.. A connection of old and young age...

Couple's holding hands... Ways of showing the love..

Marriage's holding hands.. Ways of showing loves and willingness to build up the marriage together ad go through the difficulties together..

Lastly, this kind of holding hand are the one we needed. God and son's kind of holding hands. When we need Him the most He will always be there.

3rd Day of CNY + Wedding Dinner

2011-02-06T13:35:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, I went to Dynasty Hotel for wedding dinner with my family. Actually, me and my sisters are only the representatives of our uncles and aunts as they are not around in Miri. Then, I got the chance to have wedding dinner at Dynasty Hotel since some of them say the dishes are quite good. I wanna try it.

When I reached there, we just found out that our number for the table had changed. We sat with people we didn't know. But, for me, I didn't really know the people there, even the groom although we were invited by the groom's family. Just my mum know them better.

There were a lot of people there. From young til old.. Different ages.. For me, I'm not really like attending the wedding dinner. Of course, the dishes for wedding dinner are nice as we are not eating them everyday, just once a while. But the time fir having the dinner start always delayed. Sometimes 30 minutes. But, last night, it's almost 1 hour delayed. OMG.. Sitting on the chair waiting for the bride and groom to walked in took so long of time. Fortunate I was still full when I reached the hotel. The delayed of time made me felt uncomfortable. That means the dinner will end late.

After the bride and groom walked in with the first dish, the dinner started. The food is ok but the flow of the next dish come out took some time. We had to wait for the 1st dish's plate to be cleaned and wait for some time the 2nd dish just came out. So long.. Wait till he neck became long.. While waiting for the dishes, they started having karaoke time which almost every wedding got. Although I didn't really like this kind of time, but the voices were quite good and not bad. Got old and new songs. It's funny to see some of them even gave roses to the singers. Some of them even danced.

After having the 4th dishes it's almost 9 something already. For me, it's quite late already as it's only the 4th dishes only. So, we decided to go home. During the dinner, one of my relatives kept on came to my place and talked to me about my job and wanted me to change my job. I'm not sure what to say to her. Just answer what she need to know. Haii... Now, I'm scared on meeting her. Haha... Fortunate, I'm not always meeting her.

This wedding dinner had gave me a not so good impression due to the delay of time. I rather did not go to this dinner. Too bad....

Tiring...

2011-02-02T21:30:00.002+08:00

Today is a quite tiring day for me. After the reunion dinner, I just remember that I forgot to wash the car. Because of that I needed to wash the car under the moonlight and fireworks kept shooting up into the sky. Scared.. Scared.

It's quite a tiring job in washing the car. Due to the dysfunctional pipe water, I needed to carry the bucket of water through and forth to wash the car. Tired.. Tired.. Tired..

Now reading the novel from the laptop while watching the astro channel 301. Now airing the competition between the rabbit and tortoise.. Quite looking forward to it.. Astro and My Fm DJs..

By the way, I'm here to wish all of you, 'Happy Chinese New Year and have a fruitful and meaning rabbit year.. All the best and God bless all of you...'

New Pendrive!!!!

2011-02-02T09:33:00.003+08:00

This morning my sis showed me this brand new pendrive.. OMG.. It's a rabbit.. It's very cute... Then I decided took it from her. Haha... But she said she will look for it in KL when she goes back. Then maybe I will buy it again for bigger capacity...

New pendrive..... I like it....

It's cute....

Country Story...

2011-02-01T13:39:00.003+08:00

Last month, I started playing Country Story on Facebook (FB). It's quite a relaxing games since you just need to click on the seed, plant and water. Besides, you can also have a chance to feed animals. For me, I can become a farmer and having a land in FB.
In reality, my grandma's indon maid also have land for her to become a farmer. She grows many vegetables, pineapples and so on in my house areas. She even makes money by selling them to the people pass by my house. Th real ringgit malaysia notes.. Not the one I earn from FB. My indon maid also play Country Story. But hers one is real thing. Cannot compared to mine. Hers got raining days and sunny days. Mine only have sunny day on FB. Haha.. She gets the real money; I get the fake one. Cannot be touched one.
I no need take good care on the plants, but she needs to. What's a big different. Reality and FB. But, I rather become farmer in FB than in reality. As I no need work under the bright sun. I'm fairer as compared to her.. Haha...

This is my land.. Got animals... But my maid don't have animals.. Haha...

Actually, I wanna take some pictures on my maid's farm.. But, outside to hot for me. Have to go out to the roadside there. Later she will see it. Next time probably. I will take some pictures on the plants she grows...

Happiness & Sadness

2011-01-30T19:47:00.003+08:00

Chinese new year will be coming in few days. For me, it's a normal festive for me. It's like when u grow older, the feeling for celebrating chinese new year is getting 'boring'. There is no excitement in celebrating it. For me, it's a chance for me to rest for few days from busy working life. I have a chance to apply leave to runaway from the pile of workload. What a beautiful days for me. Haha.. By the way, I'm actually don't like visiting people or people come over visiting me. I'm thinking pf skipping this year's visting to my colleagues' house. Not sure will succeed or not. It's a tough plan and job for me.

After chinese new year's holiday, I just have few days left to work with my best colleague. She will be leaving the office to a greater job opportunity. Great and good for since the existing job makes her feel frustrated. No more people sit beside me talk to me and eat lunch with me. Haii.. Emptiness... Cannot ask for help when I have one. Helpless... No one to share anime with... Loneliness.. ... ... ... What a sadness time for me...

Just hope this wouldn't come soon but it is.. She keeps on counting the days leaving the office and days left.. Haii..

However, my life have to go on. She is the nicest and helpful colleague I ever had. Will be missing her too..

For those pass by here and read my blog post, thanks for reading my blog. I appreciate the time you spend.

As for my brother, 'Happy Chinese New Year and add oil in your exam. Don't forget He and me will be there for you when you need it.'

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone. May God bless all of you.

Thought For Days

2011-01-30T19:33:00.002+08:00

How Not to Get Tired
It's not busy-ness in life that makes us tired. It's thinking too much that makes us tired. How not to get tired? Don't get distracted, get upset or get too 'lost' in anything or anyone. Don't think too much about the work. Just do it! Then your mind will stay rested whilst you work.

Be At Peace
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

Eternal Treasures
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."

Virtue of Sweetness
Sweetness is a virtue that searches with patience for the good in every person
and situation.

Spiritual Progress
There is benefit for you in every situation. If, that is, you know how to look for it. The idea behind steady spiritual progress is to see every circumstance and situation (particularly those that challenge you) as a tailor-made lesson in your personal plan for self-development. For example, in a situation where hurtful or angry words were exchanged, why not see it as the chance either to perceive things about your own character which need changing or to rehearse some virtue or quality that you need to put into practice more often? Actually, we should be grateful for the opportunity to evaluate ourselves. In this way you can transform anything into a constructive lesson. Never think that you've learned enough and now can stop. You should love it when people try to correct you or give you advice. It keeps you alert and gives you plenty of opportunity to put your truth into practice. It's a sign of great danger to be unable to accept criticism and instead use your understanding to criticise others. Realise deeply the significance of every moment, and your spiritual progress will be assured.

Easy
With the good wishes and drops of co-operation from everyone, even the biggest tasks of all will become easy.

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

Inspirational
How can we serve others around us? By making our lives inspirational and interacting with tact and wisdom. We should be so cheerful, and our lives such examples, that they say 'Here is an angel.'

Determination and Patience
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

Spotting Qualities
A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.

All We Need Is Love
Everyone looks outside for everything, including love. Love is all that everyone wants. Their purpose in life is love; to love someone, to be loved, to love their car, to love their dog, to love their garden etc. But all these types of love are perishable and are destined to fade away. The love we really want is within us all the time. When we feel love, where is the love coming from? It is within us, that’s because we are love. So I need to sit in silence and get to know myself again, because when I get to know my true self I will find out that I am love. I don’t need to look for it outside. I have an imperishable supply of the most sweetest love possible within me.

Fill The Gap
If anyone has has any weakness, make it your duty to fill that gap. To speak about someone's weakness is not greatness. The greatness lies in removing that weakness.

Power To Tolerate
You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Pure Love
If we obey the principle of pure love, our life will always go in the right direction. Altruistic and unconditional love is pure and comes from our inner truth. When we are obedient to that inner truth, our life becomes a joyful dance.

Dance In Happiness
The easy way to remain happy is to remain constantly light. Pure thoughts are light and waste thoughts are heavy. Therefore, keep your intellect busy with pure thoughts and you will become light and continue to dance in happiness.

Letting Go of Hurt & Mistrust
When someone has done what we neither expected nor wanted them to do, our attachment to our expectation causes us to be 'hurt'. The 'hurt', imagined or not, causes mistrust to arise within us.
To free ourselves from habitual mistrust of others, we have to become aware that it's our response that contains the hurt, and not the other person's behaviour that causes the hurt.
Realise: It's not what you say, it's what I do with what you say or do that makes me feel this way.

Silence Is Gold
If speech is silver, silence is gold. When you must speak, speak a few words, speak sweetly and softly. That is the way to reach a listener's heart.

Lasting Fragrance
Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing. Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat. Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships. Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.

Light Hearted Soul
You are a light hearted soul who laughs in the face of fear, and only cries tears of joy.

Like A Star
At the end of the day, on the wings of your thoughts, go beyond the cares and troubles of the world. Remove your mind from everything and everyone, and become blissfully detached, like a star. Like a star, be free to radiate light, for your essence is light and peace. Enjoy the simplicity of the night sky, the peace. And then, when you want to, you can shoot down to earth.

Generosity
You are a soul who does not wait for happy endings, but creates them with the power of a generous heart.

Look For Goodness
In everything, goodness is there, our goal is to find it. In every person, the best is there, our job is to recognise it. In every situation, the positive is there, our opportunity is to see it. In every problem, the solution is there, our responsibility is to provide it. In every setback, the success is there, our adventure is to discover it. In every crisis, the reason is there, our challenge is to understand it. By seeing the goodness, we'll be very enthusiastic and our lives will be richer.

Start Early
The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the vibrations of the world are at their calmest. It is not surprising that you will find all experienced meditators and yogis up with the dawn, inviting the sun of spirit to shine into the heart of their soul. The first half hour of conscious awareness will be the foundation of your day. Make an early start. Meditate, set the switch of your consciousness and calibrate your energy for the day. You'll be surprised the difference it makes.

Happy New Year
Give birth to new possibilities through your ability to reach into the future and let go of the past.

Quality Thinking
The quality of thought creates the quality of life.

Wellbeing
The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness, the more my own sense of wellbeing rises.

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

Last Day...

2010-12-28T22:16:00.003+08:00

Every Saturday I will go to open air market with my mum and sister for breakfast. I always order chicken rice and my sister's favourite is the 'lao shu fern'. This morning my mum went to open air market to buy things and she found out that today is the last day of the stall for 'lao shu fern'. So my mum bought the mee since there were no more 'lao shu fern'. After chatting for sometimes my mum got the chance to have the last 3 packs of 'lao shu fern' as the customer who ordered them did not come. OMG.. My mum got the last 3 pack. Haha.. She even on the video that was taken by the owner's relatives as she was the last customer for that 3 packs. How fortunate she is.

So, now in my house's fridge got 3 packs of mee and 3 packs of 'lao shu fern'. That's my breakfast for tomorrow.

The 'lao shu fern'

The mee

Time
Consider time to be a great treasure. Never waste a second.

Open Heart
The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realise that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realised we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide. Little by little, practice opening your heart to those you think have hurt you. Realise it wasn't them that hurt you, it was yourself. And it taught you not to trust and you closed your heart. A closed heart is in need of opening. And when you do, you will have begun to heal yourself.

If I remain aware that as fellow human beings we are all part of one family, and that even the smallest of gestures can make a difference in people's lives, I am always blessed with a caring heart. It takes so little to show that I care yet it can mean so much.

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.

Celebration
Everyday is a celebration because instead of waiting for happy endings, we open our eyes to the wonder of life, to see the humour and magic in each moment. Delighted in the way things turn out, amazed at the beauty of it all.

Power to Tolerate
To tolerate does not mean to die, but to live in everyone's heart with love. No natter how much against you someone is, even if you have to tolerate not once but ten times, nevertheless, the fruit of the power of tolerance is imperishable and sweet.

Self-respect
Self-respect is not a matter of what you are doing in your life, but rather of how you are doing it. It requires that you bring quality and virtue into each action, whatever that action may be.

Love
Love is such a magnet, that it brings even those who defame close.

Power Of Blessings
The power of blessings changes the fire of adverse situations into water.

Meditation
Meditation is not complicated. It is simply a means of teaching your mind to think in the right way.

Think less
Economise on your thoughts and you will automatically save your time and words.

Give Regard
To unite your ideas with the ideas of others is to give regard.

Decorate Your Life
You will stop being ordinary when you decorate your life with divinity and spirituality.

Thoughts Words and Actions
The gap between what you say and what you do, between what you promise and what you deliver, is like a drain in the road. The drain is where water escapes, just as your power will seep away if there is a difference between your words and your actions. Ask yourself everyday, were your thoughts, words and actions aligned? Ask someone else what they saw in you too. Feedback is the food of all positive change.

True Benevolence
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.

Dealing With Difficult Situations
When difficult situations come your way, instead of becoming disturbed or confused, observe all the situations just as you would observe a game or watch a play. Then instead of feeling stuck you'll be able to enjoy the different turns that the situation takes.

Gentleness
Non-violence is a very deep philosophy. Not only does it require me to harm no one physically, but also to avoid harming anyone's self-respect. Such an ethic requires tremendous awareness and sensitivity. When I have learned to be gentle with myself, I can be the same with others.

Switch On
If the switch of awareness is on, you cannot have an 'off-mood'.

Happiness
In order to divorce yourself from unhappiness, always keep the treasures of happiness with you.

Thought For Days

2010-12-06T06:33:00.002+08:00

Enrichment and Progress
When we have an attitude of learning from every interaction with others we experience personal enrichment and progress.

Pure Love
If we obey the principle of pure love, our life will always go in the right direction. Altruistic and unconditional love is pure and comes from our inner truth. When we are obedient to that inner truth, our life becomes a joyful dance.

Take A High Jump
Instead of breaking the rock of problems with the hammer of waste thoughts, take a high jump and become one who crosses over the rock of problems.

Simplicity and Royalty
There's great beauty in simplicity. It's not plainness, however it is plain in the sense that words and actions are enacted with great royalty, full awareness and with so much significance. Simplicity takes us away from artificialities, it simply accepts and in that acceptance shows us grace and humility in every circumstance.

Balance
Live in balance between the head and the heart by filling your feelings with wisdom and your decisions with love.

Chasing Shadows
To race after limited name, respect and honour means to chase after a shadow.

Princes
The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve mankind.

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.

Kindness
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

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 means 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.

Spiritually Solvent
If you value your thoughts and use them as carefully as you use money, you will never find yourself spiritually bankrupt.

Magic Carpet
Thoughts are like a magic carpet, on which the soul rides across eternity. Rest for the spirit (which is what we are) is when we allow only the current of the purest thoughts to flow through our mind - thoughts which carry good wishes and blessings for ourselves and others. This is not so much going with the flow, as being in the flow, and refreshed by the flow. For when we have powerful, positive thoughts for and about others, who experiences them first?

Hard Nut
Under the hardest shell, is a person who wants to be appreciated and loved.

No Worries
When we worry, we make problems bigger than they really are. Instead of worrying, accept whatever you have no control over, prepare wherever you can and choose happiness instead of worry!

Resource Full
We each have the three energies we need to learn to manage - spirit, mind and body. All three need a good diet - body needs pure food (vegetarian), your mind needs positive ideas and images, and the spirit that you are needs time in silence and stillness to refresh and renew. These are our resources, and each one needs topping up, otherwise we run on empty and dis - ease comes to visit. But diet is just the beginning. Coming soon... exercise!.

Spiritual Love
It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them.

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.

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.

Give Happiness
Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.

Every Action Is Recorded
As you do, so you become. Every action that you perform is recorded in you, the soul. These imprints ultimately mould your character and destiny. When you understand this principle, you will pay more attention to bringing your best to everything you do.

Trust Yourself
In any relationship trust is the first thing to leave and the last to return. And if you recognise that the most important relationship is with yourself, then perhaps it's time to start some trust building close to home. Make and keep a promise or a commitment to yourself, however small - in fact, start very small! Make one and keep one today, and then notice the surge of inner power as a result. See how much more you like yourself as a result. Trust is being built.

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.

Change
A fearless soul learns to adjust, understanding that change is the only constant in our lives.

Steady Light of Hope
No matter how dark the situation, let me always hold on to the steady light of hope.

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

Anger
Never give way to anger - otherwise in one moment you could burn up the joy that you collected over a long period.

Think In A New Way
Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

I am ...
Instead of focusing on all that you are not, try focusing on all that you are.

Quick to Forgive
Rather than being quick to judge, be quick to forgive.

Power to Tolerate
To tolerate does not mean to die, but to live in everyone's heart with love. No natter how much against you someone is, even if you have to tolerate not once but ten times, nevertheless, the fruit of the power of tolerance is imperishable and sweet.

Good Wishes
Giving good wishes to others acts like sunlight, filtering into the dark corners of their mind and lightening their burden.

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind comes not from wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are.

The Secret of Happiness
The secret of happiness is to be free of fear. Fear is like a toxin that runs through much of our thinking. It feeds on insecurity, feeling of loss, loneliness, inadequacy and attachment. You are loveable and loving. Accept this as Truth. Appreciate and care for yourself - truly, deeply, intensely, in a way that reflects your real value. Then you will automatically have the same regards for all other living beings and things.

True Peace
True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.

Easy Nature
When there is a light and easy nature, it is easy to be a friend to all.

Pure Love
If we obey the principle of pure love, our life will always go in the right direction. Altruistic and unconditional love is pure and comes from our inner truth. When we are obedient to that inner truth, our life becomes a joyful dance.

Like A Star
At the end of the day, on the wings of your thoughts, go beyond the cares and troubles of the world. Remove your mind from everything and everyone, and become blissfully detached, like a star.
Like a star, be free to radiate light, for your essence is light and peace. Enjoy the simplicity of the night sky, the peace. And then, when you want to, you can shoot down to earth.

Deadline Stress
Sometimes no matter how hard and fast you work, you still miss a deadline. Is it the end of the world if a deadline is missed, especially if the deadline is self-imposed?

Maybe, the next time there's little chance in meeting a deadline, ask for an extension and re-schedule the deadline. Give yourself permission to relax and lower your stress levels. Then you'll have more energy to get back to working harder and faster.

Be Here Now
Treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift... That's why it's called the present.

Humility
Humility dismisses nothing, rather, it takes even small things into consideration. It recognises that whatever life presents, needs to be respected. Small things are easily found in something big, but inside little things there is often greatness.

The Diet of an Angel
By feeding your mind a diet of elevated thoughts, you grow up to become an angel.

Attachment
The root of suffering is attachment. You have created a space in your mind that holds a person or object as part of you. When that person or object is criticized, neglected or not with you, you feel pain in your mind and you experience a sense of loss. If you want to be happy, you must learn to love and appreciate while remaining independent.

Enjoy Moments of Silence
When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

Moving Mountains
The faith that can move mountains needs three ingredients to work: belief in yourself, belief in others, and the ability to draw on your inner strength.

Lost and Found
Being lost in thought, thinking about things to do, what's been done, what could have been done... is not only tiring but also a brilliant way to waste energy. It diminishes your peacefulness and clouds your clarity. Every time you become lost in thought it means exactly that - you are lost! To find yourself, allow your mind to become quiet, to become utterly tranquil. In the quiet depths of every being, there is a stillness that contains a deep inner peace and wisdom that can guide you in your life.

Gentleness
Real gentleness in a person is the power that sees, understands, yet never interferes.

Exercise and Diet
Unhealthy lifestyles are rooted in the mind and seeded in the soul. The spiritual exercise of the mind involves taking the mind out of the physical body and to the subtle body of light and then to our state of being a soul - a sentient point of light and power. As for diet control, pure thoughts are the healthy diet for the mind. Creative thoughts are like vitamins and positive thoughts provide proteins that build will power.

Keep Your Vision Clear
If you miss an opportunity, do not cloud your eyes with tears; keep your vision clear so that you will not miss the next one.

No Limits
You are as large as your dreams.
You can go as high as your aim.
You can be as focused as a laser beam.
You are not limited by your past or by what others may think of you or even by circumstances.
If you choose to live fully, there is no limit to you.

True Peace
True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.

Change Myself First
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.

Even Greater to Forgive
It is one thing to tolerate someone's mistake. It is something even greater to forgive the mistake.

Go Deep
Most of us think too much, especially about events and people, local and global, famous and not so famous. When we are always thinking about what is happening on the surface of life, the visible, then it is as if we are living a superficial life. Deep down inside there is a voice, a longing, a calling to depth. It's our heart, reminding us to visit, explore and express the depths of our ourselves. Going deep and being deep requires time spent in solitude, some periods of introversion and a conversation with ourselves. How on earth will we ever see what is in our heart unless we dive deep inside, switch on the light and look. Those who do will tell you it changes everything. What do they see? Simple, only beauty and truth. They are always there, waiting for us to return. Waiting to welcome us and to introduce ourselves to ourself.

The Secret of Happiness
The secret of happiness is to be free of fear. Fear is like a toxin that runs through much of our thinking. It feeds on insecurity, feeling of loss, loneliness, inadequacy and attachment. You are loveable and loving. Accept this as Truth. Appreciate and care for yourself - truly, deeply, intensely, in a way that reflects your real value. Then you will automatically have the same regards for all other living beings and things.

Self-control
Self-control is the ability to withdraw and still the mind at any time.

Soul Consciousness
Spiritual awareness (soul-consciousness) is cultivated through deliberate practice and only those who have understood the need for this kind of true, inner, self-respect will make the effort. Difficulties will arise to test your resolve for self-upliftment - physical illness, relationships, memories of the past, and so on. Yet with patience and introspection, you will come to see how these very tests are the means to strengthen your spiritual identity.

Keep It Simple
To be simple means to be completely pure: to have royalty and greatness whilst being ordinary.

Happiness
I open my eyes to the wonder of being. Delighted in the way things turn out, amazed at the beauty of it all. I am happy.

All We Need Is Love
Everyone looks outside for everything, including love. Love is all that everyone wants. Their purpose in life is love; to love someone, to be loved, to love their car, to love their dog, to love their garden etc. But all these types of love are perishable and are destined to fade away. The love we really want is within us all the time. When we feel love, where is the love coming from? It is within us, that’s because we are love. So I need to sit in silence and get to know myself again, because when I get to know my true self I will find out that I am love. I don’t need to look for it outside. I have an imperishable supply of the most sweetest love possible within me.

Forgiveness
Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light.

Your Qualities
The more you appreciate your own qualities the stronger they will become.

有人说：“女人像酒，好女人如陈年的佳酿，越品越有味，举杯忘情，难以割舍；男人像烟，一旦沾染，便很难放手，再好的烟也有害身心健康；极品男人则是鸦片，一经尝试，即会融入血液、深入骨髓，从此断了退路。”

如果女人像酒，男人像烟……

那么爱情像什么？

提拉米苏。

关于提拉米苏，有一个温馨的故事，二次大战时期二个义大利士兵要出征，可是家里已经什么也没有了，爱他的妻子为了替他准备干粮，把家里所有的饼干、面包全集合起来做成一个甜点，如此便成了提拉米苏的由来。每当这个土兵在战场上吃到提拉米苏就会想起他的家、想起家中心爱的人。

提拉米苏——Tiramisu在义大利原文里有“带我走”的含意，这士兵带走的不只是美味，还有爱和幸福。

Valuable As A Diamond
Your time is most valuable, and so you should not waste it. You should not waste time in wasteful thoughts. Every second of yours is as valuable as a diamond.

Full Stop
To think over and over again about a mistake you have made once is constantly to put stains on top of stains. Therefore, put a full stop to the past.

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.

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.

Self Mastery
Within each one of us there is a master of the universe. Not the universe out there but the inner universe of our thoughts and feelings, attitudes and actions. Most people realise too late what awaits within and how valuable it is. For too long we allow ourselves to be distracted and bewitched by all that is happening outside. To be the master of your inner world is to be the master of your own destiny. Are you going to be the master or a slave?

Summer's End
Summer, it's a time of abundance, to enjoy the summer sun, flowers and fruits ... but, summer, like everything else, doesn't last forever. If summer was forever, all the energy and potential would reach its limits and inertia would set in. And so slowly but surely, the cycle turns; everything moves on. Everything has it's own time; it's own season. Remember, the end of something good, means the start of something also good. All you have to do is be connected and in tune with the natural flow of nature's energies.

Soul Consciousness
Spiritual awareness (soul-consciousness) is cultivated through deliberate practice and only those who have understood the need for this kind of true, inner, self-respect will make the effort. Difficulties will arise to test your resolve for self-upliftment - physical illness, relationships, memories of the past, and so on. Yet with patience and introspection, you will come to see how these very tests are the means to strengthen your spiritual identity.

Life's A Dance
By finding at least one wonderful quality in everyone, your life will become a dance.

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.

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.

Giving
With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity. With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny. With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. The saying, "What we give is what we receive". The lesson: Just to give.

Speak Sweetly
A bitter tongue makes life bitter, a sweet tongue makes life better.

Journey Of Life
Journey of life is exciting when you challenge your own weaknesses. Some times your enemy teaches you better than your friend.

Determination
Determination brings the strength to continue, the steadiness to succeed, and the wisdom to slip past difficulties undisturbed.

The Beauty Within
You see behind the masks and beneath the fears to the beauty within every heart.

Going Deep
Just as the highest tower needs a deep foundation, so too our higher thinking is based on going deep within.

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

Plant The Seed Of Peace
As our thought so is our consciousness, and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you will gather the calm.

Greatest Powers
Gentleness, love, humility, forgiveness are the greatest powers in the world.

The Virtue of Sweetness
Just as eating and serving something sweet makes your taste buds feel sweetness, and for a while after, you remain happy, become sweet-natured yourself so that words filled with sweetness are constantly spoken. Such sweet words make both you and others happy. Use this method to always sweeten everyone's mouth; constantly maintain sweet attitude, sweet words and sweet actions.

Meditation
Meditation is the process of getting to know yourself completely, both who you are inside and how you react to what is outside. Above all, meditation is enjoying yourself in the literal sense of the word. Through meditation, you discover a very different "me" from perhaps the stressed or troubled person, who may seem superficially to be "me". You realize that your true nature, the real you, is actually very positive. You begin to discover an ocean of peace right on your doorstep.

Lucky Day
Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day.

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.

Become lost in God's love and you will forget this world of sorrow.

Introversion
The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts away from all my responsibilities at the day's end and take my mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables me to carry greater and greater loads without feeling the burden. When my inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently, I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Angel Face
An angel's face is still because there are no lies inside. Truth makes it a straight, simple face whose beauty lies not in its form but in the feeling it gives you.

Becoming a Peacemaker
The first lesson on the path of becoming a peacemaker is to stop being at war with myself. It is only when the turbulence of my mind ceases that I can begin to make peace with the world.

Peace, Love and Happiness
Keep peace in the mind, love in the heart and happiness in relationships.

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.

Happy Heart
You have a happy heart that can pump humour into any situation.

Thought For Days

2010-08-15T16:00:00.002+08:00

Special Soul
You are a special soul who easily destroys obstacles with the generosity of your overflowing heart.

The Secret Ingredient
When we're cooking, our minds are working. When we're stirring and rolling and baking, we're thinking. Thinking creates vibrations because that's what thoughts do. The vibrations affect both the food and the people who eat the food.

So, cook with care; pay attention to what you are thinking; and don't forget that in the best of recipes, love is the secret ingredient.

Generosity
You are a soul who does not wait for happy endings, but creates them with the power of a generous heart.

Gentleness
You are a gentle soul who can speak to what is in the heart of others without saying a word.

Antidote to Stormy Emotions
Are your emotions easily affected by people and events? If so, then like the sea, when the weather is calm your waves roll gently. But when stormy winds blow, you become wild and out of control.

If you make time to dive deep into the sea, beneath your emotions, you will experience a world of stillness and great strength. Then, you'll stay unaffected - resilient to the winds of change.

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.

Seeds Of Thoughts
Every thought is a seed. If you plant crab apples don't count on harvesting Golden Delicious.

Be Patient
Breathe more deeply. Be patient.
There is a season for everything and nothing can be rushed. Make allowances for the fact that other people have different rhythms to you. Your patience will reduce your anxiety, and you will enjoy each day more.

Spotting the Qualities
A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.

Steady Light of Hope
No matter how dark the situation, let me always hold on to the steady light of hope.

Get Grateful Now
Even when you feel as though things aren't going well in your life, you have reasons to be grateful. Today, take time to appreciate the gift of life and all its wonders. Count your blessings and cherish what you have.

Waste Thoughts
Do not have the extra food of waste thoughts and you will be saved from the illnesses that come from being overweight.

Consult your Conscience
To consult your conscience: sit quietly and calm the mind, allow peace to fill your heart and then place a question before your conscience, your innate wisdom.

Then let go and listen for a response. Be patient and there will be a response; often when you have stopped wanting it and when you least expect it!

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.

Determination and Patience
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

Humility
Humility puts a hand out to nothing extra, but simply takes what's there. Whether that be food or clothing or understanding. Sometimes there is a lot available and sometimes only little. It doesn't matter. Even when you understand nothing, there is no worry, for in humility there is the trust that everything will come anyway, at the right time.

Exciting Journey
The journey of life is exciting when you challenge your own weaknesses. Some times your enemy teaches you better than your friend.

Words Of Peace and Purity
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.

Truth
The power of Truth is such that you need never be concerned about proving it. You need only be concerned with being it and living it. Truth is always revealed, at the right moment, at the right place.

The Secret Of Immeasureable Wealth
The secret of immeasureable wealth is to need less. The wealthiest human beings ultimately give away vast amounts of the money that they have spent half their lifetime acquiring, This suggests that the motivation behind all their efforts was not the pursuit of wealth but something else. The need to prove something to oneself, for instance? Replace need - whether it be at an emotional or physical level - with an unshakeable faith in one's self and in God. Neither will ever let you down, if you hold fast to this faith.

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

No Tears
If you miss an opportunity, do not cloud your eyes with tears. Keep your vision clear so that you will not miss the next one.

Purity
A powerful, yet often misunderstood, aim of spiritual study is purity. Purity of the soul means to return to its original divine qualities. The soul has become so polluted with less than divine qualities, it can hardly enjoy being alive. Purifying the soul puts the higher self back in charge - useless and negative thoughts are removed and annoying habits finish. A pure soul cannot be touched by sorrow; indeed the power of purity is such, it serves to remove the sorrow of the whole world. Purity restores happiness - even bliss. All you need to do, in order to re-establish your purity, is want it. But you need to want it intensely, to the exclusion of everything else. The one thought, "I must become completely pure". sparks a fire of love between you and God. This fire melts away all the pollution, and your purity becomes such a power that it frees you from all battles for ever.

Be At Peace
You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

Discovering Spirituality
Faith in spirituality enables us to trust ourselves. With trust we can let go of the past and have the courage to dare. To dare with courage gives us the confidence to know that we can achieve what we set out to achieve. If we begin with doubt then we have sown the seed of possible failure. Faith in spirituality always allows us to win. Every step of faith opens another chapter in our lives.

Cleanliness
The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart. If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn't want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness.

Perfect and Pure
There is part of you that is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the less than perfect characteristics you've acquired by living in a less than perfect world. It is filled with divine qualities, so is a constant state of resourcefulness and well-being. Its total absence of conflict and negativity of any sort makes this part of you a Still-Point; a deep, enriching experience of Silence. Make time to practise reaching this inner place of Silence. It will bring you untold benefit.

Spotting Goodness
When I become excessively critical towards others, it means I am going in the wrong direction. We are usually very good at spotting mistakes, but we should develop the quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see what is good in others or in situations and go beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good about myself. If I constantly think "he is wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks me from reaching my own goodness.

The Final Analysis
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are Honest, People may cheat you, but be Honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, People will often forget tomorrow. Do Good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it never was between you and them anyway.

Am I Happy?
If there is any sadness I make a strong effort to be free of it quickly, otherwise it grows like a vine in the rainy season: by midday I will be confused; by evening a whole jungle of weak, wasteful and negative attitudes will have taken deep roots in my mind. The result equals chaos. Sometimes I reach a stage where the attitude is: "So what if I feel the blues today? It is my life; no one else will be affected". Firstly, the more I allow myself to experience sorrow, the less time I have available to be happy and contented. It sounds ridiculously obvious, but am I aware of the value of happiness? It is an extremely rare commodity, and the cost goes sky high. Secondly, is it my life? Yes, I am living it, but am I not a member of a family or a co-worker with others, and am I not part of society? If so, then every movement affects and is affected by those around me.

Que Sera, Sera
Resistance leads to persistence. Whatever you resist or push against simply persists and pushes back in equal measure. Instead, transform resistance into acceptance by practicing "Que Sera, Sera ... whatever will be, will be..."

Enjoy Moments of Silence
When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

Less Is More
Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Hate less, love more and all good things are yours.

Contentment
The more positive the thoughts flowing through my mind, the more contented I will feel. It is easy to feel contented when we are praised and appreciated but to remain contented when we are being critised and rejected is the mark of real spiritual strength. The way to develop this level of strength is to learn about God's way of loving. Only when I am in deep contemplation can I see God showing me the kind of love I need to express so that I myself never reject or critise and always generate good wishes for others. Then I will feel satisfied no matter what life throws at me.

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.

Compassionate Soul
A compassionate soul will travel great distances and scale high walls in order to understand another point of view.

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.

Ferocious Lions
The habits of guessing and assumption can be like ferocious lions. So do not allow them to run wild.

Bad Habits
Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.

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.

Oasis of Peace
Deep inside our consciousness is an oasis of peace. This is the molten core of the soul, but it is not hot, it is cool. Not passive, but a source of inner power to fuel our mind and intellect, so that we can create powerful thoughts and make accurate decisions. If you can learn to go to this centre, peace will be your companion, positivity your partner, and you will be able to chill out in one second, anywhere, anytime.

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.

Give Regard to Every Soul
Because you recognise that everyone is of unique value, you give regard to every soul by never comparing it to another.

Gently, With Patience
The habit of telling myself off subtly shapes a nature of sorrow. Instead, let me talk to myself gently, with patience, as one would do to a child.

Full of Peace
Stay full of peace yourself and know that this peace will reach your loved ones and ultimately the whole world.

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind comes not from wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are.

Generosity
If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.

Thought Vibrations
Every thought creates vibrations. Vibrations are like sound waves or radiations. No obstacles, no hurdles can stop them.

Increasing Your Happiness
The more good wishes and kind feelings we have for others, the more our own happiness increases.

Take time
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. Take time to think, it is the source of power. Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to love and be loved, it is a God-given privilege. Take time to work, it is the price of success.

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.

Sin Bin
It's a great idea in sport. Too many fouls and your out of the game for a short period. The same happens in real life, but we are not aware of it. Sin essentially means forgetfulness, or more specifically, to forget yourself, to forget who you truly are, a pure, peaceful and loving spiritual being who occupies and animates a physical form. It is this forgetfulness that makes us commit what we call sinful action. If you are insulted by another person, and you become angry in response, the sin is the anger which you create not the insult. You are asleep to the truth that you just hurt yourself, and that you are the creator of your anger not the other person. And now you have a recording in your consciousness that contains an image of the other surrounded by the energy of anger. You put it there, not them. Next time you see them, up comes the anger again, and in that moment you are at your least effective, paralysed by self created anger, you are effectively out of the game until you cool down. Interesting isn't it. Never get angry, at anything, or anyone, anytime. It's a sin!

Only the Best
You bring out the best in others, because you see the best in others.

25 Day Challenge

2010-06-13T15:58:00.002+08:00

No Worry | Day 1
When we worry, we make problems bigger than what they really are. Instead of worrying, accept whatever you have no control over, prepare wherever you can and choose happiness instead of worry!

Slow Down, Relax | Day 2
Stress may appear to get things done in the short-term but in the long term it leads to burnout. When you learn to slow down, you discover how easy it is to be relaxed whilst on the go!

The Solution Focus | Day 3
Making things positive doesn’t mean a sunny outlook; it means making the choice to see problems as opportunities. Every problem and difficult situation is embedded with a solution - the adventure lies in finding the solution.

From Expectations to Acceptance | Day 4
Getting on with people is tough, especially when they don’t fulfill your expectations! Instead, if you accept people the way they are without expecting them to be something they’re not, you end up less disappointed and frustrated.

Fear Nothing | Day 5
You already have the courage to “Face, Explore, Accept and Respond” to fear. All you have to do is move beyond inertia and discover your true potential. Then, courage will enable you take action in spite of fear.

Time Management | Day 6
Whilst time cant be controlled, you can manage yourself. When you begin to work smarter, not harder, and do the right things better, you'll begin to make the most and get the best out of your time.

Pack Up Your Thoughts | Day 7
What are you choosing to hold onto in your mind? You can always pack-up all the unnecessary and negative thoughts and feelings in your mind. Pack away and put it out of your mind. You then have space to create something new and positive.

Go with the Flow | Day 8
Sometimes we just have to be wise enough to go with the flow. We have to put our trust in life and let the current carry us. That doesn’t mean we should take our focus off where we’re going.

Finding Clarity | Day 9
Clarity is more than knowing whether you should choose (a) over (b). Clarity happens when you turn your mind within and allow it to be still. In stillness, there’s clarity - you know exactly what it is that you have to do.

No Complaining Zone | Day 10
If you approach life complaining about what’s missing then you’ll be dissatisfied. Satisfaction comes from knowing that things can always be improved but at the same time appreciating what is right in your life, right now.

Concentration Ability | Day 11
When you want to do something sincerely and are decisive about it; the power of concentration becomes available to you. Concentration allows you to achieve more in less time and respond to situations in a more effective way.

Overcoming Anger | Day 12
Anger can be a by-product of our way of thinking, rather than it being caused by a person or an event. You can either hold on to your anger or, you can calm down and let go. Choose to be calm and you’ll find it easier to forgive and move on.

Add fun to your life | Day13
Waking up energised and excited about tackling challenges is a sign that you have the ‘fun factor’ in your life. When you’re having ‘fun’, you’re curious enough to actively explore life. And then, nothing is impossible or off limits.

Will Power | Day 14
If you believe ‘you can’ and have the strong desire to do so, then despite setbacks, it’s your will power that makes you ‘try, try, try again’. Both ‘will’ and ‘power’ are released when you go from ‘will do’ to ‘doing things willingly’.

Patience | Day 15
Patience is your willingness to let time and life move forward at their own pace, without losing sight of your destination. When there’s no rush, no hurry, out goes anxiety, in comes peace of mind.

Co-operation | Day 16
To be co-operative means to have a quiet eye for what is needed and contribute accordingly. To be a support at the right time, in the right place.

Positive Self Talk | Day 17
Your self-esteem comes down to the way you talk to yourself. Your inner critic is that little voice that nags you and sabotages your efforts. Change your inner critic to an inner coach and encourage yourself to keep trying even when you’re not 100% successful!

Beat Tiredness | Day 18
Being tired isn’t just about doing too much; it’s also about being devoid of motivation. Beat tiredness and work up your motivation to get things done and make things happen with spirit and gusto.

Knowing When Not To | Day 19
Action is important but so is inaction. To act appropriately and with consideration, you have to use your power of discernment. Knowing when to and when not to: say something; dig your heels in; hold your ground; or make a decision!

Resilience | Day 20
Resilience is your personal power, your inner strength that allows you to rise above difficult circumstances, and bounce back stronger than before the challenge! With such vitality, nothing can bring you down, or de-stabilise you.

With or Without Ego | Day 21
With ego, you lash out when someone insults, disagrees or criticises you. Without ego, you’re able to accept your flaws without compromising your self worth.

On Making Mistakes | Day22
Mistakes matter. How you recover from them matters even more. The best way to handle a mistake is to learn from the mistake. Then you’ll not repeat it nor ever be paralysed by the fear of making another mistake.

On Making Mistakes | Day 23
Mistakes matter. How you recover from them matters even more. The best way to handle a mistake is to learn from the mistake. Then you’ll not repeat it nor ever be paralysed by the fear of making another mistake.

Abundance | Day 24
Abundance is to see that there are endless possibilities before us. And at the same time, still see an incredibly rich existence right where we are. It is a feeling of gratitude for everything and everyone we have in our life.

Yes / No – Be Assertive | Day 23
Assertiveness is the ability to express your thoughts and feelings honestly and respectfully without undue anxiety. Communicating confidently does not happen magically but when you do it, it gives you the freedom to be yourself.

Being Peace | Day 25
You don’t need to search for peace; you are a being of peace. Any time, any place, you can step back from your thoughts and emotions. Just withdraw into your inner being, a place of total peace and just be.

Thought For Days

2010-06-13T15:53:00.002+08:00

Peaceful Mind
Fill your mind with peace and good feelings and your mind will give that experience in return. Whatever you are experiencing in your mind now is what you put there earlier on.

Determination and Patience
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

Master of Yourself
Before trying to master others, be sure you are the master of yourself.

Cherished Soul
Greet life with enthusiasm and confidence by constantly maintaining the awareness of how cherished you are.

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

Humble and Forgiving
Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, then this kind of feeling and attitude begins to dissolve. I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light.

Big Heart
Instead of becoming disheartened by any type of upheaval, become one with a big heart.

Wise Soul
A wise soul opens the window to the future by closing the doors to the past.

Love Work
You always have a choice but you forget that you have it. Do you remember the energy and enthusiasm you had on the first day of your first job? You consciously chose to do the work you had gladly accepted to do. But then you gradually fell asleep to the choice you made, and the day became "I have to" go to work, instead of "I want to" go to work. You forgot to see all the opportunities which come with work - opportunities like learning, nourishing and being nourished by others, developing new relationships, expanding your personal capacity. Instead you decided it was just something that you had to do to 'get the money'. This is why most people are sleep-walking through their lives, and they don't know it. The solution, choose your work every day, put the energy of love into your relationships...every day, even if you don't particularly like your job or the people around you. And you'll be amazed at how your life transforms. When you choose to put love into what you do, the universe will move heaven and hell to let you do what you love.

Smile And Say "Hello"
In life you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello".

Courage
Courage is to take a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed, but knowing that God's hand is stretched out to pull you.

Open Heart
The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realise that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realised we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide. Little by little, practice opening your heart to those you think have hurt you. Realise it wasn't them that hurt you, it was yourself. And it taught you not to trust and you closed your heart. A closed heart is in need of opening. And when you do, you will have begun to heal yourself.

New Response
If you can see and accept that you create your own stress according to how you are responding, you will then see that there is something you need to unlearn as well as learn. The old response needs to be unlearned, and a new response needs to be learned.

Virtue of Sweetness
Sweetness is a virtue that searches with patience for the good in every person and situation.

Eternal Star
There is a part of you that is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the less-than-perfect characteristics you have acquired by living in a less than perfect world. This part of you is a still and eternal star. Make time to reach it and this will bring you untold benefit.

Invaluable Treasure
Time is an invaluable treasure. Therefore, instead of wasting it, take an instant decision and use time in a worthwhile way.

Embodiments of Solutions
Where there is worry, there cannot be any rest or comfort. Where there is fear there cannot be any peace. However you are embodiments of solutions who find a solution to every problem and this is why you are free from worry and fear. Any problem that comes in front of you comes to play games with you, not to make you afraid.

Harmony
Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Cooperation evokes love and when we bow, others bend. This creates harmony.

Long time...

2010-06-01T17:59:00.002+08:00

Thought For Days

2010-05-10T17:36:00.002+08:00

Seeds of Hope
The world is your garden from which you remove weeds of doubt and replace them with seeds of hope.

Daily Decisions
What I am experiencing at this moment is the result of choices and decisions made in the past; what I will experience in the future depends on choices and decisions I make now. Happiness is a daily decision.

Chance to Change
It is better to make use of a chance to change rather than to change your chances.

Don't Lose Today
If yesterday was lost in grief, don't lose today and tomorrow by keeping it in your memory.

Co-operation
To see a person's specialities rather than their weaknesses is an act of co-operation.

Become Introvert
Anger spoils the beauty of the soul, introversion regains it.

With Love
Teaching others is best done with love, once the heart has understood, the mind opens.

An Angel
Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying.

Valuable As A Diamond
Your time is most valuable, and so you should not waste it. You should not waste time in wasteful thoughts. Every second of yours is as valuable as a diamond.

Fire of Anger
Imbibe the virtues of humility and patience and the fire of anger will become cool.

Take a High Jump
Do not waste your time trying to break a rock of obstacles, but overcome it instead by taking a high jump.

Power to Tolerate
To tolerate does not mean to die, but to live in everyone's heart with love. No natter how much against you someone is, even if you have to tolerate not once but ten times, nevertheless, the fruit of the power of tolerance is imperishable and sweet.

Smile
When you smile, not only do you feel happy, but you bring a ray of light into the lives of others.

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.

Different
Today I will enjoy the fact that we are all different.

Arguments
Truth is lost when we argue.

Dream On
Why have we forgotten how to dream? With our innocence gone, and the entertainment industry doing all the work for us, we quickly lose our capacity to dream possible futures. Stop. Close your eyes. And dream again. Put the stars in your dreams. And then reach for them. No need to struggle. Simply nurture the dream, sustain the vision, and watch it come true. It must, it's the law.

Addicted To Praise
We all want to be liked, valued and appreciated. There's no doubt that we're motivated by praise from those who matter to us. But it's easy to become addicted to praise. Savour compliments without needing them. Enjoy performing well even if no one notices. Give your best without expecting validation.

Stability
Amidst the earthquakes of unexpected situations, the hurricanes of unreasonable behaviour, when fortune strikes against me, I will remain unmoved, knowing that finally all will be well.

Generosity
You are a soul who does not wait for happy endings, but creates them with the power of a generous heart.

Heart of a Butterfly
"...the caterpillar has the heart of a butterfly!” It is true that if we know within our hearts what we want to become, then we will become that.

Be Gentle On Yourself
If you make a mistake, be gentle on yourself and encourage yourself to learn from it, let go and move on.

Thoght For Days

2010-04-04T22:28:00.002+08:00

Power To Tolerate
You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Peaceful Soul
Always maintain the awareness- I am a peaceful soul, and allow peace to influence your thinking and judgement.

Peace of Mind
Peace of mind comes not from wanting to change others, but by simply accepting them as they are.

Exercise and Diet
Unhealthy lifestyles are rooted in the mind and seeded in the soul. The spiritual exercise of the mind involves taking the mind out of the physical body and to the subtle, angelic body of light and then to our state of being a soul - a sentient point of light and power. As for diet control, pure thoughts are the healthy diet for the mind. Creative thoughts are like vitamins and positive thoughts provide proteins that build will power, while thoughts of serving others are like carbohydrates, which provide energy for the mind.

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

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.

Courage
Make courage your companion and you will continue to succeed in everything you do.

Anger
Anger is not a natural emotion. Even the most angry person cannot remain angry always.

Look Before You Leap
Whatever actions you perform, check the consequences and then perform that action. Then you will never say "I don't know how this happened. I didn't mean it to happen." If you do not pay attention, lines of tension then become visible on your face.

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.

Congratulations
To remain cheerful, congratulate the self and congratulate others on their speciality.

Rest Easy
Rest does not come with sleeping, it comes with waking. This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we realise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. 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. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. So quit forcing, end the struggling and...relax!

86,400 Seconds
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with £86,400. Every evening whatever part of the balance you fail to use during the day is deleted. What would you do? Draw out every penny and use it well, of course!!! Each of us has such a bank - Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Invest the day's deposits well, or the loss is yours. How could you bring the most contentment, happiness and benefit to yourself and others? The clock is running.

Positive Thoughts
Positive thoughts are like good software that helps us to perform to the best of our abilities.

Self - Sovereignty
Subservience to my negativity is a very precarious existence as I can never be sure how well I will handle a difficult situation. With practice it is possible to create appreciative and compassionate thoughts; then I no longer need to indulge in resentment, bitterness or dislike. Training myself to react calmly and wisely offers enormouse dividends. Let me talk to myself silently with love and encouragement, balanced with firmness, and like the wise old sovereigns of fairy stories, let me rule the inner kingdom of my mind with benevolence.

The Game of Life
By seeing life as a game, your lightness of spirit will make problems seem easier.

Contentment
To be content with a little is a great wealth.

Eternal Treasures
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."

Practice makes you perfect so be careful what you practice!

Gentleness
Non-violence is a very deep philosophy. Not only does it require me to harm no one physically, but also to avoid harming anyone's self-respect. Such an ethic requires tremendous awareness and sensitvity. When I have learned to be gentle with myself, I can be the same with others.

Much Loved
Sow seeds of peace by remaining rooted in the awareness of how loved, loveable amd loving you are.

Communication
In prayer you communicate with God, in meditation God communicates with you.

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

Peace and Good Feelings
Fill your mind with peace and good feelings and your mind will give that experience in return. Whatever you are experiencing in your mind now is what you put there earlier on.

Kind Thoughts
Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.

The Final Analysis
People are often unreasonable, self-centred: Forgive them anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you, but be honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it never was between you and them anyway.

Busy People
We live in the age of ‘busy’. Busy people not only do a lot, they think a lot. Being lost in thought, is not only tiring and a brilliant way of waste energy, it’s as if we have forgotten the very ground of our being which is still and silent. Learn to meditate and turn the eye of your attention and awareness within, let your mind be quiet and allow your being to be still.

Pure and Gentle
Success is merged in every step of those who have a pure and gentle nature.

The Science of Happiness
The fewer desires you have, the happier you will be. Having the right information (truth) leads to contentment. Having the right understanding of the self, our purpose, our origins and our true relationships should free us from the cycles of boom and bust and lead society to that ultimate happiness.

Forgiveness
Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, then this kind of feeling and attitude begins to dissolve. I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light.

Inner Beauty
"Wow...that's beautiful!" Is either a cry or a thought when faced with the mountain sunset, a spectacular view or a well formed man or woman. But where is the beauty, where is the appreciation of beauty, where is the ability to discern beauty? It is within our own consciousness. For the essence of who and what we are is beauty itself. The essence of beauty is not found in the body, a face or a mountain - they only stir the essence of beauty within our own spirit. And that beauty is not only something we taste within ourselves, but it emerges in our character as virtue, and in our life as care. For what is virtue, but love in action. The next time you say, "That's beautiful!" know that you speak of yourself, and it is you who are beautiful. Always were, always will be.

When the mind is tired, every single action requires great effort.

Giving Happiness
The happiness you give makes you more happy than the happiness you receive.

Authority
Real power and authority is not power and authority over others, but over the self.

Manners
When we encounter good manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honoured. Truly, none of us deserves anything less.

Reduce your desires and your problems will be reduced.

Thought For Days

The Influence Of Gossip
I cannot afford to overlook the influence that other people have on me. To what extent do I check that I am not being influenced by gossip? Negativity in the mind is like poison. Negative thoughts are the seeds of negative actions. Gossip and guessing bring sorrow, heaviness and distrust. Hear no evil. See no evil. Speak no evil. Think no evil.

Cheerfulness
Cheerfulness keeps up the spirit of the one who possesses it, and brings a smile to the lips of others.

Respect
Have the heart to forgive souls for being who they are not, and the respect that inspires souls to become who they are.

Part of Me
If I keep the weaknesses of others in my mind, they soon become a part of me.

The Wonder of Silence
The disease of anger needs the medicine of tolerance; the pain of disappointment needs the medicine of hope; the violence of revenge and spite needs forgiveness; fear needs courage ego needs self-respect. Through inner silence we receive the strength to heal.

Spiritual Healthcare
Silence, happiness, love and blessings are important aspects. Happiness leads to good health. It is only you who can give this medicine to yourself. Some bring illness to themselves through anger, greed, unfullfilled desires, expectations, suppression of feelings and relationships not based on true love. Look in your heart, you will know where your illness comes from. There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention but without worry; use time in a worthwhile way; keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength.

Love All
Love can never be exclusive. The sun does not choose to shine on some flowers in the garden and not others. Love is inclusive and has many faces - caring, listening, sharing from the heart, just accepting someone for what they are right now, are all acts of love, as long as you seek nothing in return. It all starts with acceptance of yourself - you're just fine as you are right now, warts and all. It's not that you will stay that way for ever - but you might, if you don't accept. The secret key to the greatest door called love is acceptance. First your self, then others (especially the ones you currently resist) and eventually ...all.

Talking to the self
When you talk to yourself in your mind, which self do you address? And how? Usually people do not talk to their divinity, but to the most superficial aspects of their everyday personality. And often its a stream of fears, complaints and mindless repetition of old things. If we talked that way to another human being, we would have to apologise. Learning to talk properly to the self is a spiritual endeavour. Thoughts from the past and worries about the future do not create good conversation. Instead learn to talk to your mind as if it were a child. Talk to it with love. If you just force a child to sit down, he won't. A good mother knows how to prompt her child into doing what she wants. Be a good mother to your mind, teach it good, positive thoughts so that when you tell it to sit quietly, it will. Love your mind. Stay happy.

Charity
To give happiness to others is a great act of charity.

Balance
You maintain the balance of responding to situations with a cool head and to people with a warm heart.

Gentleness
Move through the world with the grace of an angel, the dignity of a king and the wisdom of a child.

Attraction
Like attracts like. Whatever the conscious mind thinks and believes, the subconscious identically creates.

Determination and Patience
Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point.

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.

Doing Your Best
As you do, so you become. Every action that you perform is recorded in you, the soul. These imprints ultimately mould your character and destiny. When you understand this principle, you will pay more attention to bringing your best to everything you do.

In The Mind
Freedom starts in the mind, not by cutting ropes.

Hachiko: A Dog's Story

2010-02-07T16:52:00.013+08:00

Today I just finished download this movie. When I watched it, I broke into tears after half of the movie. The part where the owner of the dog, a college professor died after heart attack. After the death of the professor, the dog, Hachiko would everyday went to the train station to wait for the professor. However, the professor did not appear. Hachiko had been waiting for the professor to appear in front of the door of th station since the professor's death til Hachiko died. It's a long time, years to go. It's a touching movie and true story. One of the touching is where Hachi finally caughtthe ball. Since Hachi was adopted he was taught to catch ball. But, he never caught it. On the day the professor went to work Hachi took the ball to the train station and played with the professor. Finally, he caught the ball threw by the professor. The professor was delighted and took the ball to work. This was the last time the professor was at the station. On that day, he passed away. Seems like Hachi knew it was his last chance played the ball with the professor.

This is Hachi in real life

In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station. (Originated from wikipedia)

This heartwarming true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love. (Originated from www.imdb.com)

The bronze statue of Hachiko

Just like the last part of the movie, of what the grandson of the professor say, his granfather and Hachi had taught him being loyalty. We should not forget the one we love and Hachi would be his hero forever.

Always maintain the awareness- I am a peaceful soul, and allow peace to influence your thinking and judgement.

Character
Body is visible in a mirror. But character is visible in actions.

Secrets
Acceptance is the secret of contentment. Appreciation is the secret of happiness.

Patience
Patience and more patience enable a closed mind to gently unfurl.

Home Sweet Home??

2010-01-30T22:29:00.004+08:00

When I was studying in KL, I would always think that home sweet home when I went back home for holiday.. For me, my home is a place where I search for comfort and safeness.. I like staying home and will be at home whole day without going out.

But now, home isn't safe for me.. It's make me feel worry and uncomfortable since my house got 'problem'. A problem that cannot be solve immediately. I scare that the house will collapse during our sleep or when we were outside. Not that I like to think the negative side, just that the condition of the house force me to have some negative thought. How I wish now we have stay in the other house and not this. May be I think too much.. Now, I just need pray harder..

However, there's a but again, we can't abandon this place as I have been living here since I was borned. 24 years.. A long long time.. Besides, my grandma is here.. I think she doesn't think of leaving this place..

So.. maybe 'Home Sweet Home' but not 'House Sweet House'

Silence
Anger spoils the beauty of the soul, silence regains it.

Give Love To Everyone
If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.

GOODNESS
When I become excessively critical towards others, it means I am going in the wrong direction. We are usually very good at spotting mistakes, but we should develop the quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see what is good in others or in situations and go beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good about myself. If I constantly think "he is wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks me from reaching my own goodness.

Give Happiness
One who gives happiness cannot give sorrow. One who gives sorrow, cannot give happiness. Where there is happiness there cannot be sorrow.

Hope
Do not lose hope in those who have lost hope.

Love, Purity, Peace, Wisdom
When you build a house, every brick counts. When you build a character, every thought counts. You are what you think. Love, purity, peace, wisdom - the more you think of these qualities, the more you will become them.

Keep Faith
To limit your faith to one set of beliefs or an institutional belief system is to commit intellectual suicide. We shut down the possibility of being enlightened and enriched by others' experiences, which may be derived from their beliefs. We build a barrier between ourselves and our fellow travellers and then feel threatened, even in small and subtle ways, by someone of a different faith. The deepest faith is the intuitive conviction that all is as it should be, despite appearances, and that every human being is intrinsically good, despite appearances. This reminds us to keep our minds open, not take the law into our own hands, and look out for the best in others, regardless of what they say or do. This is faith in life, not faith in a set of learned or inherited beliefs. Have you ever noticed how people don't go to war over their faith in life?

Tolerance
If you realise that everyone is an individual with their own unique part to play, then the power of tolerance is easy to develop.

Lasting Fragrance
Tread lightly upon this earth, seeing, understanding but never imposing. Thoughtful, independent, be gracious in victory and defeat. Free of possessiveness, so ease of mind sweetens relationships. Like the scent of a rose the untroubled spirit imparts a lasting fragrance.
Unconditional Acceptance
Accepting the self and others unconditionally allows everyone to remove their masks and feel at ease with who they are.

Sweetness
Sweetness is a virtue that searches with patience for the good in every person and situation.

Inner Calm

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

Honesty is to speak that which is thought and to do that which is spoken. There are no contradictions or discrepancies in thoughts, words or actions.

Spiritual Love

It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them.

Speak Sweetly
Nature did not like hardness in speech, so there is no bone in the tongue.

Peace
Not to cause anyone sorrow even in your thoughts is complete non-violence.

Happiness

The fruit of contentment is happiness. When there is happiness all questions finish.

Good Wishes
Giving good wishes to others acts like sunlight, filtering into the dark corners of their mind and lightening their burden.

A Simple Diet
Remain healthy by maintaining a simple diet of pure feelings, good wishes and positive thoughts.

Tranquil Mind
You are a gentle soul who can speak to what is in the heart of others without saying a word.

Character
Humility dismisses nothing, rather, it takes even small things into consideration. It recognises that whatever life presents, needs to be respected. Small things are easily found in something big, but inside little things there is often greatness.

Seeds Of Peace
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
