[::..Scooby DO, Scooby DON'T..::]
Another month has gone by…7 to be exact. I was in hiatus – a time to cleanse and heal the body, mind and soul. A self-imposed exile, hitherto to put myself under restraint from all manner of conduct that can potentially ensue in confrontation. Amidst the chaos of our daily living, it’s good to take a moment to quiet our mind… for activity without thought can be chaos in itself. I wasn’t looking for the perfect opportunity to mend fences, build bridges, or both. I was merely doing my part; I was doing time for spiritual change. A time for connection…mostly with self and GOD.I now realized with some pain of certainty that less is not necessarily more. Now I take my readers seriously enough to ask for their attention. If they are not careful, I will introduce them to the full measure of my means.
From here, let’s go to a place of open witnessing, no judgment… just observe and reflect. What is…just is. See what is there…are you troubled… do you feel anger, frustration, fear? Acknowledge your feelings. It’s all part of who you are. Give yourself permission to fully feel these feelings. It’s OK. Allow yourself a moment to tune in to your SELF. It’s OK. It’s all just human stuff.
Only when you avoid being honest with yourself, you inevitably cause more problems. You act out your anger, you lose energy to depression, you are edgy and unsettled. What rocks your boat? You might have a clue but can’t quite put your finger on it.
Just don’t you mind us. Ziehan and I, we are blessed in this land of plenty. We are constantly focused in our quest for our own answers as if we are looking at ourselves in the mirror. We see in that reflection all the things about us that we admire. We take our time. That’s right. Make a note of all the things that we’ve accomplished, the things we’ve sacrificed, and the challenges we’ve overcome. Only then we stand in awe of the reflection that is us. And that is how we live believing that we are beautiful people.
We start to live our best life when we pursue our happiness without fear and with lots of faiths. Happiness is, after all our birthright. Just this evening, I received the following sms from a very good friend. She said..
Hai, I asked God “How do I get the best out of life..?” God answered: “Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear..” The He added: “Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and never doubt your beliefs..Life is wonderful if you know how to live!”
What a pity it would be to starve our real self of the happiness it deserves. Think what a burden it would be to live acting a big part of your life ruled by indiscriminate and confused opinions.
Both Ziehan and I we are well placed to surge forward and succeed. We all live our best life when what we think, feel, speak and act is aligned and congruent. Another word that best describes this is “integrity.” How much integrity are you known for? What is it worth to you? Here are some checkpoints that could probably assist your quest for an answer.
1. Do you surround yourself with people who want to control, own or blame you?
2. When are you going to stop blaming your government, your mother, your sister, your boss, your ex-husband, your ex-wife, your friends, your fate, global warming, the cat next door, Mr. And Mrs. Smith.
3. Do you demand respect from others, rather than being focused on earning them.4. Are you the kind that acts your role to your gallery solely for the end effect of your play.
5. Do you persuade yourself to do right to be right and be really sorry when you are wrong.
Understanding that a prerequisite for happiness is a certain level of control, just how much happiness do you have? If it’s worth that much to you, then go insure your No.1 asset. After all, in our best life, we are the product. Will you invest in yourself? I know I will because I HAVE.
Here, I would like to register my profound gratitude to the one woman that matters most.. the love light of my life, the apple of my eyes. For inspiring my return, for making this gallery playable, with love from me to you, I say THANK YOU.
