Empower your mind

Bird in the houseWe live in luck today in this internet age. we have inventions that make our lives so much easier. No worries about darkness or hot weather because we have lights and aircons. We can travel the world easily when these long distance flights. We have mobile phones that ensure that we don't get lost wherever we go. Information is also at our fingertips.

"I'm bored, there's nothing to do" never really happens for me. I can't wait for a spare moment to go check something out. Life is just so damn fascinating to be feeling bored.

You see, the Universe is always sending you signs and vibrations. All the time, and when you become aware and ask for signs, they come right to you. This applies to everything you want in life. Sometimes the signs could come faster while sometimes you need to be patient.

When receiving a sign of encouragement or a sign to take action, you have to think about what a particular sign means to you. I see positive signs all the time, like there was a sparrow who flew into my house recently chirping and fluttering excitedly. It was not losing its way definitely as it did not behave weirdly. To me that is a good sign that there is prosperity in my house.

You see,m there there is too much to learn to ever be bored or disinterested. Just pick a subject and go find out about it. A lot of stuff you learn can be life changing - and always for the better.

Empower yourself by having enquiring mind. Life is just too interesting to let go.

Living with stress

People feel stressed all the time, even little kids can have stress. It is very normal and a little bit of stress is actually good for us, don't you think so?

Stresses come about easily - school, jobs, family, friendship and problems with bf or gf.. If stress mounts up and is uncontrolled, some weaker people may succumb to it and sinker deeper into the mire, but there are also people who manage to overcome stress. A good and simple way to drive away stress is to take a deep breath when you feel you are choked by the mounting pressure.

If you feel stress attack is coming, pause for a while and inhale deeply. Or you could choose to talk to someone who you are close with. If there is no one around or you do not feel comfortable for the topic to be talked about, you could still opt to vocalize your problems with your pet. Yes its just that easy. Just like i am feeling a bit stressed now and i vent it via posting on this blog. I feel as i throw out my bottled up feelings, i could get better.

Really, with mental conditioning, stress is no big deal. Of course, looking at things positively helps a lot too.

Beautiful Sunrise

We live in such a beautiful place. I just love the sunrise as it gives hope and belief to me on each new day.

Marie Callas Sunrise
Did you see the sunrise this morning? When was the last time you actually watched a sunrise?

So take a few moments to view the physical evidence of the daily renewal of peace and hope and life. Stand at the window and wait. Yes, we may need to go elsewhere to see a truly spectacular the horizon is always blocked by buildings...

Once you have experienced it, take hold of this positive experience and consciously process the feelings and sensations into a hidden memory, one that you can retrieve at any time you need a lift, comfort, or peace.

True happiness

Reading a latest letter from Marie Callas makes me think of this question. What kind of life do we have to lead in order to be considered as truly happy. Is it living in a big house, driving a luxurious continental car, buying items from shopping malls without ever checking the price tags? Right now, many of us are not that wealthy, so dreaming of this kind of life is surely the right definition of "happiness".

Marie Callas on Happiness
What I would like to ask is that how many of these people are truly happy? A lot of times we see these people engaged in power struggles, or some sort of court cases. Do you think deep inside this is true happiness? It often turns out that due to our materialistic way of life and thought, true happiness is located outside of the self. We claim that we have been dealt bad cards but if certain circumstances were to change, we would find true happiness.

If only we could meet that perfect mate, we would be happy for all time. If only we had a better-paying and more satisfying job, we would ask for nothing else in this life. If only we were rich and famous, all our problems would fade away.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that striving for happiness or success is inherently evil or harmful. Quite to the contrary. Looking for success is a healthy activity for us. Yet I think we should take all with a grain of salt; everything should come with a warning sign attached to it. Be happy with who you are and what you have and enjoy the process of looking for happiness because you never know, in the end, when you cross the corner and reach your goal, it may not be what it seemed in the first place.

Bit of Luck

It's been sometime since I came here. Does this mean the balloon has been deflated? Maybe my life's is so smooth that I don't need to blog to vent frustration anymore?

Maria Callas still writes to me regularly. Recently I read with anticipation that she is going to send me a free CD full of magic words and powerful principles of the Law of Attraction. Yes, I have got the CD and i listen to it while I am driving on the way to work.

Do you know, life has been good last 2 years. Think positive and get rewarded. It is up to you to choose how life wants to bee. Generally, I feel the economy crisis does not really impact this country a lot. Maybe our trade with other countries are no longer strong as before or we are more self sufficient? Importantly many of us are now working in Singapore and that brings foreign cash to this country too. I think that itself is a buffer to the economic stability of this country. On the whole I feel we are stagnant since the current PM gets into office. What you think?

I went a small lottery last weekend, I am so happy the lucky numbers given by Marie Callas brought me luck. Not a lot, just RM300. So I brought my family for some bowling sessions. It has been a long time since I last bowled. For two glorious hours I laced up a pair of slippery shoes and threw a ball down a greased lane trying to knock down as many pins as possible. And, as expected, I was rubbish at it. Yes I am getting fatter sad to say. But as long as the kids are happy, i am very happy. They are really hard to pleased nowadays!

Lastly i share this wonderful to all of ya.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."
–– Ralph Waldo Emerson
