Marie Callas - Lights at the end of the TUNNEL

This post is for me to encourage myself. Energy's a bit low today. Mind is ticking well too. Maybe it's not enough rest or bad night. When one's low, mind starts to wonder here and there.

Never never ever give up. Because if you do so, nothing in your dream will ever come true. If you stay on the course, you know very well that you are getting nearer and nearer to the destination. Life is a Marathon!

Light appears at the end of the tunnel and appears about the darkest of the nights. But light will never appear again if you give up half way through the darkest night.

Happy life

Another week passses by and we are at the mid year point again. Today is a Monday too, a day many people hope will never come, so that weekend will always never end. That's why the traffic on monday mornings are always gloomy with lots of honkings and squeezing I seem to feel. And seemingly exacerbated by the recent petrol hike?

So on a monday morning, while I drive to work, I thought to myself, Happiness, Love, Luck...... what am I looking for the most? All the three I suppose!

My psychic, Marie Callas, advises, to sleep well the previous night and get up early in the morning to feel the morning moments of the earth by stepping on wet grass and doing some deep breathing.

I'm not sure if I have the luxury to do that here in this country as we are living in a compact surrounding, not helped by the warm weather all year round. Still I do as much as I can to do some morning breathing exercise.

In this way, I realise the tiny space I have in this world, as if just a speck of minuscule dust.

I don't care much about what's going on around. I just want to be happy and a good life. Don't think that's too much to ask for.

I like to visualise

I live to visualise. Naturally I am a dreamer. Because I like to dream and in the dreams, I can come out with many good things in life. With the person I love and have the money to live comfortably.

With visualization, you can create whatever you want, provided you're able to settle on one thing and follow known processes through to their successful completion. You can use creative visualization to land a new job, find a new relationship, improve your self confidence, or manifest a new home.

In fact there's nothing you cannot be, have, or do by using creative visualization effectively and consistently.

Practise creative visualisation as much as you can. This is a part of what Marie Callas teaches. It may bring you great change in life!

Remember to lighten up your life

Many of us in this country, sadly to say, really have nothing much to cheer recently. A lot of my friends are lamenting how tough life will be with the enormous hike in pump prices by the govt. Food prices are going up as a result and that's the most direct impact in our lives. A plate of wanton mee now cost RM4 to RM4.50 in many places. Small business owners and commoners are always the ones to be impacted directly by all these policies which are implemented without much analysis and studies.

I am not going to write about politics. In fact I hate it as I think it is very hypocritical and many of top power men, either here or other countries, have over promised and under delivered.

That is why I recommend those who are feeling the pinch to joke and laugh more! It's the best medicine. Spare some time a day to lighten up and forget those unhappiness in life. And stop feeding on the more negative side of life..I know it's not easy as most people around are like that...just do your best to focus on the better sides of life.

Jokes are made up to give us the needed break from the monotonous of our daily work.
If there is nobody around, then you should laugh out loud! I always do that at home and my mom will ask me what happens! I do feel better after that and nothing beats the light feeling in my chest as I feel that everything is going to be all right again.

Throw away self pity

Seriously, I have learned about about life last past year. Firstly due to Marie Callas books whom I read when I'm having my lunch breaks or waiting for someone. It was inspiring and what Marie said is philosophically right and reflect on the state of the mind most of us have. I regard her as a very learned person. I also read other motivational books and basically every belief in the word is the same...

One that I learn is that when I am weak, I will self pity myself and hide into my own small corner. In the end, I realise this is the worst kind of addiction one can have.
Self pity makes us numb to the exuberance of lives around us. At this time, creativity is dead. Our lives just stop moving forward at that moment.

When you self pity, it is not something you can be proud of but too often I see people who feel their action is right...

Right, so from now on, discard your self pity. It's good that we laugh at ourselves at our follies when we look back. Learn to walk out of it, a small step at a time, but with strong steadfast steps.

To be ‘whole’ you again, you have to move on with your life.

clarity of nature

It would be nice if I stay near a nature park just at a stone's throw away. Unfortunately that can only be a pipe dream as the place here is really haphazardly plan. To enjoy nature in Malaysia, one can only look to the east which is in Sabah or Sarawak. I would like to visit these 2 eastern states one day. I heard there is a lot of beautiful sceneries and exotic plants and animals.

Do not just treat nature as a swash of tall eerie trees. Marie Callas said that there is enormous energy emitting from nature? A motivational guru describes the energy vibrations of nature as being of the very highest order and able to raise the health of an individual simply by being in its presence.

Think back of a time you were surrounded by plain of tall trees. I remember when I was younger, I was climbing Mount Ophir with some school mates. The air was really different from those you breath in the city. I felt that the air was different as it filled your lungs and your mind seem so clear for that moment.

So, allow your different energies to combine and raise you to a higher level of awareness.

get regular exercise

We work hard day and night to earn a good living, especially now that many daily items are getting more expensive. More people are getting disillusioned with life.

I have one way out to de stress yourself. That is get a regular exercise! Get your body moving and sweating so that bad substances inside are flushed out. It is very important to maintain a good health.

For me, I like to have regular endurance cardiovascular exercise, like light running, swimming or brisk walking. Many of us rely on cars here hence it is good that we make use of our feets more.

When I first started exercising just a few months back, I found myself resisting to this idea. The flesh was weak. Hence it would be nice there is a group support encouraging each other. Hence I was very grateful to my younger sister for her constant encouragement.

Initally you may find it hard like short of breath. The thing is, do not force yourself. Get yourself into a regular rhythm. It would also be good if you exercise in the area that is pleasing to the eyes so that you can carry on better.

Then usually between 20 and 30 minutes, when your breathing has settled into a rhythm, you will find that voice start to quieten and allow a peace to overcome you.
Through this, I sweat and i get fit. And the fitter i am physically, I have a better frame of mind and look fresher too!
