Love

If love has a taste, what taste does it have? sweet or bitter? If love has a color, what color does it have? white or black? One minute, it filled you up with happiness and another minute, it drowns you in misery. Some say love is blind. When you are in love, you can be so selfish and ignorance. Do everything to posses one’s heart. The more you pull the string, the higher kite flies and breaks away from your reach. You give your love out but not always get it back.

Love is not something you possess. What is yours will be yours. And if it is not, no matter how much you try will never be yours. Sometime it is better to leave the broken mirror alone than hurting yourself put them back together. Even you can mend all the pieces together; what you get is just a cracked mirror.

Jealousy

Jealousy is the fear of losing self value as you are comparing yourself with others. You get jealous when you see someone preferred or rewarded more than you. Your emotional jealousy raise as you see someone is more successful than you or a co-worker who is more favored by the boss.

Jealousy is a game of comparision and it takes only two to play this crucial game. You won’t stop comparing yourself with others until you get what you satisfied. In fact, there is no alternative way to win this game until you learn how to love yourself. Self value is not come from the love of others but from within. If you can’t even love yourself, how can you expect others to love you? So, take your eyes off others and start scanning within you for love. Instead of comparing yourself with others, use that energy to build your personal and emotional security. Find the seed of jealousy in you and replace it with love. Then you will be the one other envy.

Be a person that impacts others

When you love to do something, you feel motivated to get it done and things you have done may inspire others. When you show your kindness, you are not only getting the satisfaction reward but also impact people around.  When you are happy, you are not only feeling good but bringing joy to the atmosphere wherever you go. Every life touches another. Generation after generation, those that have come and gone before us have an impact on our lives today. What you do in this lifetime will impact the lives of others for generations to come. Everything you say, do and think could have an impact on another and every day you have the opportunity to impact someone else’s life. So, show respect, consideration, and thoughtfulness to people you meet, even a stranger on the street and you’re more likely to respond in kind.

Luke 6:35 “love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great”.

Why bad things happen to good people?

Sometime, we wonder why bad things happen to good people, especially, someone who have done many good things in their lives, they shouldn’t deserve to have bad things. It isn’t fair, is it? In truth, the nature law always balances between good and bad, ying and yang, black and white. God allows bad things to exist in this world for a reason. It is his way of teching us lesson of some kind we need to know that we could never learn any other way. If there is no darkness, you will never know what is like to be in the light. If there is no bad people, you will never appreciate good one. If there is no grieve, we will never treasure the happy moment in your life. Remember,  everything you miss you always gain something else. pain doesn’t kill you it give you strength and failure is only an opportunity to begin again. Don’t expect only good things happen in your life because without it you will never grow. Bad thing is evitable to anyone, not only you. It hard to be good person but easy to be bad. Yet, bad thing does happen to good people and that is the fact you have to accept it.

“A God whose creation is so imperfect that he must be continually adjusting it to make it work properly seems to me a god of relatively low order, hardly worthy of any worship” ~ Martin Gardner

Life is series of lesson

We all have secret that we lock, fear that we hide, and problem that we avoid. What we can’t master will come back again until we master it. What problem remained unsolve, will come to be solved again soon or later. Life is a series of lesson and lesson that we don’t understand will be repeat itself until we are crystal clear about it. Lesson in life sometime can be unpleasant in form of obstacle, problem, or difficulty. They are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn. Let go of your fear, and take courage to face problems with all your might. Master it once and for all. In the end, it is the reason why we are here on this world.

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.  ~Alexander Graham Bell

Imagination

Imagination is the ability to form mental images of something new, different, strange, or unusual. It is an activity, which all of us perform every day. Whenever you think or plan what to wear at work or where to take your vacation, your imagination is in action. You use your imagination to visualize yourself wearing the clothes, eating your favorite breakfast, or sunbathing on the beach.

Imagination is the begining of creation. Imagine your desire and you will get what you imagine. It is a powerful tool if you know how to put it in good use. Like a sharp knife, it can be useful to cut something or harmful depend on which side you hold it. When you spend substaintial amount of time imagining the worst scenerios in your life, you will also get what you expect. Your imagination is the gateway to the realization of your dreams and a window into the world of possibility. Dare to dream big and vision a great future ahead of you, feel it, and act like you are living in it. This is your creative powers and no one can take that from you unless you let them.

Take a first Step

It is hard to get much done one little step at a time. But it is impossible to get anything accomplish without going one little step at a time. Yet, obstacle may discourage us along the way but excuses are what stop us at the beginning. We all have a moment when we feel we don’t have time for anything, don’t have what it take to fullfill our goal, or don’t have a quiet place to concentrate therefore we give up before even trying. In life nothing can be done without taking the initiative. Don’t let excuses stop you from archieving your goals. Like Confucius said, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step” and it can start from the spot where you stand right now. Be initiative and fight for your dream if you have to. Paint a masterpiece of your own world the way you want it all begins with a single stroke.

Gift of Love for Christmas

Today with the new technology, communicating with people around the world is just a finger tip away. We can chat, text, email, or make a phone call anytime without leaving our house. We adapt with the new technology too much, somehow it distances us apart. A thousand words or short phone call can’t express a single love, only when we see in person. As Christmas is coming, most of us are busy shopping for our love one the perfect gifts and wrap them with care. Searching everywhere for great gifts ideas while it is right in front of you. Yes, your love is the most valuable and inexpensive gift ever have to give to anyone. There is no money or material gadget can replace it. True divine pure love is what parents, spouses, and children like. So give the gift of yourself. Spend a little time with your love one, plans a trip together, or  have picnic party  and enjoy the love atmosphere- a gift that will hold lasting meaning. Nature of gift is often soon forgotten but the gift of love will never forget.

Difficult People Are Not Bad

Weed is not bad. It is just a plant growing where you don’t want them to. Doing its own thing to be alive and reproduce. Same to our society, difficult people are not bad as we assume. They are just doing things we consider as wrong or unethical. Seeking for attention and caress from others but express it in a wrong way. We’ve all been there. A coworker who has a bad day, a friend who stress out after divorce, or a customer who doesn’t get what he/she wants, make us jump to our own defense and feel insulted. We treat them poorly because we assume that is what they deserve.

In God’s eyes, everyone is equal- no good or bad. God doesn’t keep a list of all bad things people do. Conversely, he reward people for good things they do. He judges no one, so do we. Next time,  you have to deal with difficult people, don’t see them as bad people. Show them that  you care and treat them with all of your kindness. After all, it cost you nothing to be kind or care to others. Adapt an X ray vision, see thing as God see. Don’t judge people by the wrong things they do, see them for the good thing they do.

Lesson from the Kids

Great teachers are everywhere, they come from all races, genders, or ages. If you need an advice, ask  the elders for guidance because they have most experience in life. If you seek for happiness, study kids around because they are the only one who seems to be happy all day on this planet . Laughter is their nature, they find joy in every little thing from a beautiful butterfly to an make up imaginary friend. No matter what circumstain or situation turn out to be, they will choose to be happy. Sometime, they may feel unhappy after a fight over some toys or game. But as soon as they swipe off their tears, they start to be happy again. Happiness is what they are looking for therefore no negative emotional can ruin their joys.

You may envy them for living in the moment and wish you can be like them again. In truth, you were once a kid- so pure, innocence, untamed, and naive. You experience what it is like at their age before and you can be full of joy if you want. Just simply choose to be happy over the negatives. You will see happiness is not too hard to persuade, it is you who make it complicate. Awaken the pured spirit in you and nothing can stop you from persuading it. That is one of the lessons you learn from the kids.
