More things you have means more Happiness?

Humans are all the same, no matter the race, colours or religion. We will always want more and never be happy with what we have. What you are earning RM2,000, you think it is not enough and want a job that pays double it asap. You have a normal Kancil that serves you for years but now you are earning more, you want a MPV that can fetch whole family at one go. If you are married with a virtuous wife, you think of that beautiful sexy girl you chance of recently. I know this is not a good example, however, that's how the world goes, isn't it. Due to this inner desire to progress, our society gets better and more convenient, but at the same time, brings out the ugly greed in us.

As for me, I have always wanted a double story house with a spacious garden so that I can rear a couple of dogs to roam freely. An fully air-conditioned house to beat the dreadful heat over here.

Then I started to study a bit about spirituality taught by Marie Callas. I realized that having a big house means having a lot of 'stuff'. Have you ever noticed how we purchase things to fill up our space? If we have large closets and bureaus -- we fill them with clothing. If we have many kitchen cabinets -- we fill them with dinnerware, silverware, bowls and pots and soon undesirable clutters fill up the house if there is no care. This will block the flow of prosperity in your house.

Does all of this sound like we need to give up what we want? Perhaps not, perhaps it means enjoying a simpler life -- a life that is a bit quieter, a bit less hurried, a bit more peaceful -- a bit more introspective. When we begin to look inward to what we really desire, to what truly fulfills us -- we stop expecting other things, other people, other situations to give us what has always been within -- what has always been most meaningful -- what has always been in our hearts.

On decisions and opinions

When we are younger and growing up, most of us did not get to select what we wished to be. We had to follow what our parents or fmaily's example or under pressure to do so. We give up our own dreams to make them pleased so that we can have lesser problems.

That's why I think that consulting other people's opinions and seeking approvals from others are not the same.

When we suffer a disappointment or setback, we got dejected and tend to hide behind a mask of fear and shame. One after another, we begin to wear more and more masks over the entire lives. In the end, we don't even know what is our true self or feelings.

One fine day, some real inspirations come to us and we think that we can finally do something that we like ourselves. But somehow, that courage is lacking due to the spats of failures we suffer in the past....life is an irony.

True Self

Everyone of us has been wishing we are someone else, or rather, wish that if there is time travel, we would go back in time to learn something else and embark on another career which is different from what we are doing now. I guess this is normal thinking.

Well, i think this is not healthy mentally, however, one just can't help it, especially when things are not going your way in life. Also, If you live your life as someone else, you would never have the chance to do what you want to do! You have to live up to the expectation of other people.

Finally, when you finally wake up to your own senses, ……. You’re aged! Your excuse for not able to achieve your own dreams is …… “I’m too old for that!”

So, live for your own true self, now!

Appreciate Life and Don't Rush

Life could be a rush to many people, just like a transit train in the city which brings before to and fro from one place to another, incessantly. If life is a rush, please step aside and slow it down. There is no shame to be slower than that rest. You deserve to take a break and you have every right to do that.

As we travel through the life journey, remnants of the unhappy past and present will stick with us. Things like anxieties, worries, despair, money, or fallen hopes. Remember, money is not everything in your life. It is important yet you must not be controlled by it!

It is very important to be who you are. Live as though you have all the time in the world. Don't rush. It is useless to rush for something and finds yourself at the wrong end of it. Nobody will appreciate all your effort. What a disappointment!!

Get into your own life. Step into your own world. Be committed to your own goals and dreams. Be yourself. Be happy.

Psychic Consultation

Chinese New Year is approaching. Hence if you look around, many psychic fengshui masters from local and abroad are already making rounds of predictions for the year of the tiger. Most of them are free readings, but these free psychic readings are more general and is not customised to an individual.

If you intend to pay for a tailored reading from a psychic master, it is important to keep a few things in mind, otherwise you will spend a whole lot of time and money and not get anything in return.

Humans are spiritual beings and are mostly open to psychics who are consulted by a lot of people every day if they are accurate. These psychics can often make accurate predictions and help you come out of a difficult situation. In most cases after a consultation people simply feel better because they have been given some clarity of their situation.

Astrological psychic readings (Chinese zodiacs, Western horoscopes. for example) can be a fun time for you to discover something unique about yourself and to create for you a road map that makes more clear the future ahead.

Your Own Psychic Intuition

Has it ever happened that you 'felt' something was not right? That somewhere in your subconscious you were more aware of a situation but couldn't logically explain it? This is referred to as intuition. While most people have the power of intuition, there are many who have a much more developed power of intuition than others.

A lot of people who have developed powers of intuition channel this ability and use it in conjunction with other processes to perform psychic readings. The most popular method of doing this is psychic reading from tarot cards.

Tarot cards are somewhat like playing cards only bigger in size and their faces have symbols on them which have names like Justice, The Magician, The Empress, Death, The Lovers and many others. Each of these cards has a meaning which is explained in detail by the psychic. Also when multiple Tarot cards are picked, the psychic reading from them will have different meanings which can be divined by the psychic. The aim of getting a psychic reading from Tarot or any other method is to basically get information. The idea is to understand how one's past and present have come to be. The secondary objective to all this information is to try and incorporate it into one's life o that the future can be worked upon and goals can be achieved.

Spiritually good

Hope 2010 got off to a good start for you! My friend shared with me his excitement on making a decent sum of money from the first stock rally of the year. I heartily congratulated him! It is a joy to see friends achieving success.

In the new year, if you want to feel good spiritually, Marie Callas says you can give meditation a test run. I have tried it and its really soothing and effective to improve my spiritual well-being and to relax mind and body. If you feel there is religious stigma, fear not. Meditation is a proven age-old technique that helps you deal with stress, anxiety and depression.

In this busy life, we are so disturbed by noise, negativities and political chaos in this country. So, I encourage you to start a daily habit of calming down and meditating.

Feel the spiritual source of power!
