Cultivate a presence of mind

There is a common term here to mean a person lacks the presences of mind. We laugh at our poor friend, "why are you so blur?" to mean this friend does not know what is going on in his or her surrounding, be it a conversation, joke, gravity of a situation or lack of control of own actions.

That's why one of the most important aspect of a cultivated life is to show a presence of mind in everything you come across as that will put yourself in a confident and esteemed self.

Marie Callas espouses clarity of mind when we are dealing with life situations. For example, do not spout unintentional rubbish or rumours from your mouth as that may aggravate a situation or harm someone's reputation. Before answering, think how will your answer affect the outcome. Smart man can answer fast and wise!

Being sensitive to what others feel, widening your perspective will not only help you get through whatever that hinder your happiness, it also helps people to understand their own anomalies, too. I hope you get my point. It won't be easy, but please do your best. :)

Eclectic Tastes

I have always love music. Music is energy to me since I turned 15. It enriches my life when there was no handphones or internet. Radio and cassettes were the primary source of entertainment when I was young and they helped me to get through some toughest moment years back.

Through the year, my tastes have turned eclectic, from bassa nova to jazz/classic, and new age / psychic music. A bit of ethnic music completes the package.

My taste is very eclectic. I like everything from jazz to classical to disco and funk.

I love sharing music with daughters as well. Especially with my youngest girl. I am extremely happy that she likes nearly all of the music I like, so long road trips to Penang are always enjoyable as she will dance in the car. She really likes my disco, which is great because uptempo music helps to keep me alert.

Occasionally, I will dabble a bit into new age meditative music to soothe my restless mind before I sleep. It really builds up some mood in a lovely evening...

Do you have a vision?

It is a common scenario. You are in a situation which you don't enjoy and uncomfortable but it is a necessity you show your face there, all due to pressure from some external person, thing or circumstance? You feel like a victim of the forces acting you on.

In the end, taking responsibility for what seems to come to you then becomes not only necessary to your thinking, but a task that can and will change your life.

The reward for taking responsibility for your feelings and emotions, what you see, and what you think is well worth the effort. This is the key to your Powerful Mind.

You are the creator and the created all at once. The Love of the Universal Mind or Higher Power is in you as you.Do you have a clear understanding of your purpose in life?
