Shall I be contented?

Are I supposed to be contented or should I be asking for more and more abundance to come into life? Is asking for more and more being too greedy? I think this is a common question many people faced when practising the law of attraction. I have met people who are so blase in life that any drive or action to improve life quality is met with excuses like "life should be contented and happy", "why should you so stressed with your life when you don't even know what will happen tomorrow?", or "i am happy with what i have in life". I guess in their minds, I am being too greedy.

Marie Callas' answer to me for this query is spectacular. She asks "Was God, the Creative Force, content to create the earth, sun, moon and a few stars and planets? NO! The Master Creator created more and more and more--infinitely MORE galaxies, infinitely MORE stars, infinitely MORE comets, infinitely MORE nebulae--the Universe is endless!"

Yes it is true, there are always reports of new stars, galaxies and planets being discovered.

If we are the physical extension of the nonphysical creative force and we cannot help but continue to create through our desires and thoughts.

Purpose in life

There are growing number of disillusioned people buying into the belief that it is not possible to earn money doing what your are passionate in. You need passion to fire you up. This is more than just working for money, it is about fulfillment of your work.

Somehow i used to make this mistake that making money will lead to fulfillment, but apparently that is not the case. Yes it will make you high but that inner needs in you will not be satisfied. But it didn't work out that way. The more I followed this path, the less satisfied I was. And a lot of times, the person will only realise this after some major events in his or her life!

For example, I attended a seminar recently and the speaker said he was standing here not to make money, but its because he loves talking to people in a big group, and this is something that gives him highs in his life. He was very blessed that he found what he really likes in life and make a living out of it!

What i learn from him is that when I am doing something I am passionate about, I will feel like i am here in this world FOR A PURPOSE!

When you're clear about your purpose and living it, the universe will give you what you want. It begins with clarifying your life purpose, designing your action plan to fulfill on it, getting into action, and watching as the results unfold.

Remember, find your passion in life; do not let it overshadowed by money making!

Helping and smiling make us better

Studies do show evidences that smiling may improve our mood, and at the same time, make people around you happier too..

If you can, do some humanitarian works that put sunshine into other people's lives like donating food, clothes and utilities to old folks or orphans. Even like buying that homeless person a burger. Yes, it sound stupid in mentality here. I guess no one will do this kind of thing here, me included. So i m quite hypocritical to suggest that here. Forgive me.

Other tasks that put in smiles into other people include, holding the door for the old folks or kids. Or let other passengers get out of the transit before you go in. ITs really bad situation here my god. Or smile to colleagues, and wish them well.

Most of us have large compound here in this country. So why not get a big mat and lay on the grass patch to relax while looking at the stars above? It's such a relaxing way to unwind.

I like kids, so I make an effort to visit orphans so that I can play with them and let loose with them. Teach them how to be better person and teach them english.

It is no coincidence that the world becomes more beautiful for me as i make it more beautiful for others.

Start working on it, right away!

Often we are undermining our own abilities by our own pessimistic attitudes.

For example, a colleague of mine was supposed to be sent for a computer course to learn autocad, but instead of grabbing this opportunity with open hands, she shot herself dead by saying she is too dumb to learn such high end stuff. Then she complains that she works so hard why the company does not appreciate her work.

Which is what Marie Callas advises us not to underestimate our own abilities.

She says each time we tell ourselves we are not up to it and put something off, we strengthen our own beliefs that we are not capable of tackling these tasks. Tasks can be as simple as cleaning your house, passing an exam, learning a new language to complex ones such as managing a mammoth engineering project.

So whenever I notice I'm starting to think of a reason not to do something, I just force myself to start doing it, right away. For example, i dislike to do housework but the urge to complete the task ahead forces me to move my body towards the closet, open the door, grab the vacuum, plug it in, and start the cleaning process.

In the end of the task, my body feels lifted, although I am perspiring.

The right time to do something is when you notice you are trying to avoid doing it.

Lessons learned

I was watching the Olympic actions with much interest. When the athlete wins and receive the coveted gold medal on the rostrum, I share their tears of joy. I also applaud the momentous effort of those who come in 2nd or 3rd, and of course for our badminton shuttler, Chong Wei, who was utterly outplayed. At least my country do not come back empty-handed.

There are also many episodes of athletes failing under intense scrutiny, pressure or injury. Read American shooter, Matt Eamons, Brazilian gymnast, Hypolitto, and of course home favourite, Liu Xiang.

Isn't our life outside the sporting arena the same?

We got crushed by pressure and expectation during exams, job interviews, or love. I remember so vividly when one of my past relationships couldn't work out, and I cried for nearly whole night uncontrollably...

It is the strength that pulls us back the matters after that. Our mental strength to accept this blip in life and get right back on track.

Imagine how shooter Matt Eamons must be feeling after he faltered when it mattered, not just this time, but also in 2004 Game as well. But through the 2004 debacle, he met his wife, so he believed thing happened for a reason and good thing would come into his life soon again this time!

Yes, that's the way it should be. Things happen for a reason and it is usually a blessing in disguise!

Be strong!

I thoroughly enjoy all the great sporting actions dished out at the Olympics.
For the sake of sporting spirits, please...political opportunists please get out of the way for these 3 weeks! Stop using Tibet to try to mess up the Games.
At least every 4 years, humans of different colours and religions can get together harmoniously for a common sporting cause.

definition of happiness

Depression is a mental sickness is very common in fast-paced and result-conscious societies which cares a lot efficiency and personal effectiveness. One who feels threatened, unable to keep up with pace or loss of fighting spirit may somehow experience a hard-to-take and smash-in-the-face kind of self-condemnation on own ability to outshine the rest. As a result, depression could set in if one is not able to think positive.

Depression is a silent and gradual mental syndrome which can ruin a person if not stopped. I have exactly a colleague in my office who succumbed. It is a combination of factors which lead to that. Career mire and family pressure really does can sap a person's spiritual energy tremendously. When a person's spiritual and psychic energy is drained, he or she is like a walking corpse.

As I have volunteered in social services before, I do know that depression comes when people feel strengthless and powerless to improve or change your life. Psychic Marie Callas conveys this message that as soon as you realise "stressful reasons" were an isolated incident or source of unhappiness, and the rest of the world awaits you, you understand that you have your life under own fists.

So the big question is how do you define happiness?

The most simplistic way of defining happiness is, "it is the lack of any problem in life". So base on this definition, nobody is happy in this world! Richest men have problems too, like how to distribute their wealth so that they can build a legacy, and how to ensure their wealths are not misplaced in wrong hands or uses.

I do wish to say that the best news is that since no one is truly happy to be "problemless", it solely lies in your own hand how you are going to live your life fully.

So open up your mind to more positive sources to draw as much happiness into your life as possible..

Thanks, Marie Callas

Creepy or heartwarming?

A friend told me a rather heartwarming or rather, creepy, story over a supper last night.

This friend has unfortunately lost a sister due to a personal tragedy which I won't reveal and after the ceremony, she was tired and she was napping in her bedroom. She told me before she slept, she thought a lot about her, mourned over her loss and felt like her presence was still in the house, then she dozed off.

This is in her words as far as I can remember. Of course translated to English.

After letting all my confused thoughts go about her loss, I started to nod off to sleep, only to be awakened by a squeak at the end of my bed, then i felt weight on it, there was enough weight / pressure on the bed that it made my foot roll into it, I turned on my night light and saw an indent in the corner of the bed. Then I got a faint smell of her hair from the shampoo that she washed hair with... so i know she came to say goodbye.

Do you think it was creepy or heartwarming? Especially during this lunar 7th month?

End of world coming?

Someone sent to me an email about the end of the world in 2012 based on the Maya calender cycle. I read through intriguingly. I remember in late 90s, there was another claim that world would end in 1999 as "999" looks like rotated "666" which is a satanic number. 1999 came and went and I had the most beautiful times of my life then.

Next came another talk that "millenium bug" would cripple computers around the world and even accidentally triggering nuclear weapons to be launched, thus a possibility would be the end of world. Well, I only remember the momentous celebrations around the world to welcome the new century.

Then there was another delay, was told that is was coming for sure in 2004. Then more predicted it would happen in year 2007. Last heard it would be on year 2010 and then now people are panicking for 2012...saying how accurate the Mayans is with time.

I do not believe. Personally, I'm betting that there will be another delay and heaps of people will be disappointed again.

Move on with courage

Marie Callas says it is normal that on the route of life, failures come to us more than successes. I swear at people who are born with golden spoon and behave impishly like a brat but I have utmost admiration for people who fought their way from paupers to kings.

It is probably certain that we only learn and grow if we have failures in life, so do not fear it. You will remember these sad episodes for life! Look back with fondness and wonder at your resilience in the face of hardship too.

I fully agree the say of life is a long (or short) journey that has to be appreciated like fine wine. failures and successes come and go. Just accept them and move forward. Stop at the present for too long will only make a person complacent and contented. So accept what it is now and strive on.

Marie Callas asks me to forget and forgive as much as i can. Through this process, new sparks and energy will come into my life. Like a snake which has just renewed the skin.

Move on in the face of challenges courageously.

Transient emotions

Emotions are transient. What does it mean?

Simply this tells people not to hold on to emotions for too long, but let go when it should be let go. This is transient, or in temporary short phases. If emotions are fervently held on and a person doesn't let go, it could become toxic, and this can build up high doses of toxicity inside a person. Do you want this to happen to ya? I suppose no one wishes for that right? But somehow, we still repeat this mistake throughout our lives.

Marie Callas quotes examples of emotions turning toxic.

What she says has a point to me.

People who are filled with hatred self destruct after years of negative attitude deep inside. For example, the recent case of a 15 year old Japanese school girl who killed her father was mainly due to the resentment and hatred towards her father who only wanted her to study more. Her hatred was filled to the brim and finally, tragedy happened. It wouldn't be the case if she learned how to let go, but I guess each society is different and she was still young to understand, however, human spirituality is the same no matter where you are.

Another example of obsessive love. Too much love for someone is negative too. It become obsessive to the extent of wanting to own someone totally. This leads to conflict and jealousy which are again, ingredients for a potential tragedy.

So, my friends, learn to understand emotions are transient. Accept that it comes into your life, but be humble to let it get out of you when the right time comes. Set direction arrows in your life and honour it.

Emotions are only bad when we fail to honour it and allow it to pass that it becomes harmful.

shots of confidence..

Confidence is the most important factor in the successful people life, a character that has confidence has the weight of getting anything that he/she wishes to have in his/her life. Having qualities-confidence shows a personnel way of approaching his/her goals more certainly. Confidence is something that is vital by each no concern what his/her cast dash or profession be. The most important march to winner arguably. A because is someone-assertive has belief in him/her. No reverie looks too big for a part that is satiated of nature-confidence. However there are many people who are incapable to achieve their goals just because they need the all important piece nature-confidence.

The people who are low on confidence regularly face letdown, the affect that they dimple have the loyalty in their ability. This kind of awareness set can be urban due to a gone breakdown, wherein a person might phobia that he/she will be incapable to achieve the goal just as the last time around. The very detail that you had faced a defeat turns you to think negatively, and, before generous a shot you advantage haughty disasters. All this will make you nothing but a person that was powerless to achieve zilch in his/her life.

Building confidence is not a relaxed mission, where after repeating the word a thousand times you will be thorough of confidence. This requires a very dependable help for you, something that has revealed the signs of glory in onwards. Hypnosis is something that you can walk your cranium towards. Many people have already used this to construct self-confidence and found it very supportive. Building confidence is something that is linked to the persons tend and there is no unfailing help presented as far as treating a heed is anxious but there is hypnosis that is the only help you can get.
