Wrong Places Toward Happiness

"A new way of thinking has become the necessary condition for responsible living and acting. If we believe obsolete values and beliefs, we will continue to hold onto outdated goals and behaviors"

Dalai Lama

Could have been that your past was much better than today. And you're wondering why things in your life are not going well this time. People change, including you. The world is changing.  Systems and the flow of the Universe is changing. Just because something was right for you in the past doesn't mean it is still. On the other hand, if your past was terrible and heartbreaking, there is no need to bring them here in the present times.

Keep moving on and stop comparing your life from your past. What counts is not the journey you've taken but it's worth. Live life as of today, live each day meaningfully with full awareness.  I believe, my focus in life is my family, to voice out some issues concerning me, being friendly, separating work issues from my private life, thinking more about what's to be done next, how to cut expenses, to face my own difficulties and  to smile each day. Life is too short to be always pissed off.

Sweet Signs of Feng Shui

" Good feng shui has a number of definitions. It includes everything - landscapes, designs, shapes, elements and a host of other factors. "

It was one ordinary working day in the office last year when I had the courage to ask my Chinese colleague about some things that bother me. It was actually a simple question, yet so important to me. I just had the feeling that somehow I would know some answers from her because I have observed her jolly behavior, confidence and her simplicity, but I feel that there is something about her. My intuition was right and that simple question went a long way.  It was then I realized that I am missing a lot of knowledge about NATURE. 

The Best Days of Your Life

As we are all now living in a new year, would you consider this as another chapter of your life? Are you just beginning to realize it now?  Or simply, a continuation of your life story?

The Present ..

Most of our experiences, resentments and regrets are not here today, at this very moment. They happened in the past.  It is not necessary to carry them in our present times. Unless you did not forgive and chose to walk away leaving the tangled strands behind, that past would always haunt you today.  

2014 Wake-Up Calls

" Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. "

Buddha

My 2013, among all other years, was my best year.  There were things that to me were new as if I was reborn.  It was not a total glorious and problem-free year, I have actually experienced the worst type of verbal attack from an unknown enemy.  But God is so good, He gave me the wisdom to know who.  It was a year of knowing myself, my purpose and my character in a deeper sense of realization.  I have succeeded a little living a life with full awareness - my desires, my debts, my life in general, letting go and a deeper understanding of my reality.

I call it - my wake-up call!

My Christmas Thoughts

"Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveler, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!"

Charles Dickens

Counting back the years, it's going to be nine long years which means nine Christmases that I haven't celebrated with my family. Truly painful. Not that I don't want to, I would love to spend every Christmas with them. But where I am, has a sad fact of cruelty how short our holidays are and when we fail to come back on time at work, salary deductions takes place.
