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

A process and a state

Great article from Marie Callas! I agree absolutely.

A state refers to something temporary that is likely to change, such as, for example, ice that melts once the temperature rises above 0° Centigrade.

This means that if you imagine riches as a state, you will always be stressed – more or less consciously – by the idea of losing it all.

On the contrary, a process is something that is with you throughout your life and never fails you. By opening up your heart and your mind to wealth, you will build up a feeling of riches inside you that no one and nothing can take away from you.

Tell yourself that enjoying financial success is being able to look yourself in the mirror at any time and seeing a worthy person you look up to as a model to follow.

You must believe that Life has given a divine glow to every human being. You can and should seize this wonderful and unlimited creative heritage that lies within you, transforming these spiritual riches in you into external material benefits.

You are here on this earth to lead a full and rewarding life. Real riches are the result of a frame of mind through which all we need comes to us without too much effort, so that our desires can be fulfilled. Riches are part of the reality and the goal of this guide is to help you to see the nature of this reality.

It is important you understand this: thoughts are also impulses of cosmic energy with the power to manifest themselves – for good or bad – in the real world. And it is not because they are invisible when they appear in our minds that they have no impact on the real world.

Let's Party..happy new yeaR~

I wish Marie Callas a very happy new year! Thanks for helping me to be better in 2008 and I wish more people will benefit from your help in 2009. May there be world peace too! relly hope for a year of harmony.... we have too many bad news last year.

Looking back...

2008 is ending soon, in just a few days. This is really a tumultuous year. In fact, every year is chaotic in terms of world events. Negative big events are always hogging the headlines each year. This year is dominated by the financial crashes, and the US election and the Mumbai hotel siege. Despite these, I am sure there are happy events around too.

It is always happiness and sadness taking turns to appear in life. Nothing is the same all the time. We seek to be happy no matter what's the background we from. Hence, when we look back, they give us great joy and pleasure to see and feel how things used to be in the past.

Most importantly, the right attitude is that do not assume that your future will be bad just because you have a tragic past. If you think in this way, you are basically telling your mind what kind of life you wish to have in the future.

So as you look back into the past while you are thinking about your life, do you recall more of your good times or more of those bad times?

Do you know that by stirring up old memories often, especially those bad old memories, we are making a conscious renewed contact with the involutive force of the Universe?

Some people just do not let go of the bad times and experience and constantly replay it in their minds, and in the end, getting disillusioned or are full of vengeance.

By focusing some your positive experiences is a great way to heal your past wounds spiritually. Throwing always those sad memories right to the deepest depth of your mind will surely make you let go of those hurtful and caustic moments of your life.

Replace it with new ones full of inspirations and happiness. It is an empowering way to embrace life and move on. This is the key that opens your life to happiness and inner peace.

Talking to myself

Sometimes I talk to myself. No, I'm not mad. Yes, it does freak my wife out when i talk to no one but myself suddenly. Really, when i do that, i'm just self talking to myself so that I can sort my thoughts out. I find it easier to make a decision when I do that. This is nothing crazy at all.

In fact, I recommend people to do that. For example, before your semester presentation, do to a corner and tell yourself, you can do it and you are going to impress the teachers in your presentation. Successful people do that constantly i read somewhere. They encourage themselves, give themselves surprises and presents as forms of positive self support. When they face problems, they do not falter easily. Their positive self-talk give them much confidence and prod them to move forward bravely.


This is one way to push yourself on, so that in really adverse time, when you are alone, you still maintain that fire in your belly to drive on, so sticking to something you passionately believe is possible.

Believe in yourself positively. Have a firm grip of your mind so that it works for your positively. Yes, positive self-talking will change your perception of yourself.

Success in Life - 8 pointers

How true they are....as revealed by Marie Callas about success.

Here they go:

1. Support yourself and your world with a Divine purpose and a mission. Have a mission statement and vision; have an intention and goals. Write this down and review it and visualize it several times a day, particularly when you first wake up in the morning and before your go to bed at night.

2. Your attitude and inner conversation with yourself can make or break your momentum. Stop yourself from negative thoughts and words, people and places, actions and things. The Law of Attraction will bring to you what you focus on and what you feel. Do not trust and buy what the TVs and newspaper are trying to selling you. Begin to pay attention to what you are feeding your subconscious mind. I know it's not easy because am constantly being bombarded by them all the times.

3. Aware of your subconscious power - your success is dependent on it, since. As a young kid, many habits and traits are picked up from parents or other people. It's stick on you when you grow older. Need to change your negative subconscious before any successes can be sniffed.

4. Dedicate time to being balanced in ALL areas of your life, including eat well; exercise well; sleep well.

5. Give your time, or money if you can. Help out less fortunates generously and also help yourself. Start your day with 15-20 minutes of quiet time to go within yourself to recharge and to listen to your intuition. Spend the last 15-20 minutes before bedtime relaxing your mind by meditating or reading something for self-improvement.

6. SAY THANKS about what you have in life. Have that sense of gratitude for you have and the things that happen to you in your life for your greater growth and mastery. See obstacles as opportunities to grow rather than road blocks holding you back.

7. Forgive yourself and others for anything that you have done or that they have done to you. Do not hold onto grudges, resentments, anger, or retaliation. True freedom is forgiveness for the past.

8. Spread love, compassion, motivation and inspiration whenever you go. People will like you and that's how success will come too.

Success means...

For most people, success means possession of wealth, prestige or status. By these criteria alone, the majority of us would not qualify. Yet the truth is that success is really a subjective perception. In other words, it is all in the mind. If one thinks one is successful, that perception is valid by one's own reckoning.

The fact is that no-one is perfect and no-one can do everything well. It is sufficient that each one of us does our best. Within the individual limitations or constraints that each one of us finds ourselves; and to the extent of our knowledge, capabilities and skills; when we do our best, we have indeed achieved success.

This approach is what I like to call success thinking supported by appropriate actions. It combines positive thinking with reality, and espouses practical methods of achieving success in a progressive, comfortable way. So there is no hype, no magic formula, and no instant solutions.

There is real work involved to achieve individual success targets whether these be lofty ambitions or something as simple as cooking a good meal. No matter what the goal, everything has to begin with the right thinking because this is a prerequisite to the right behaviors and actions to actually bring about the right outcomes.

The exciting thing about the human potential is that we can all continue to learn to be better in our chosen activities. This allows us all to achieve increasing levels of success as our thinking improves and our actions help us go beyond original targets and set higher ones.

I hope these reflections can encourage those who may be struggling in their lives to believe that solutions exist for all problems and that these can be discovered with the right thinking and mindset. The solutions then point to actions that must be taken. If we follow this path with our best efforts, we can be sure that we can achieve the success we have defined for ourselves.
