When My Mind is Still


When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I remember things too easily forgotten:
The purity of early love,
The maturity of unselfish love that asks..
desires..
nothing but another's good,
The idealism that has persisted through all the tempest of life.
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can find a quiet assurance, an inner peace, in the core of my being.
It can face the doubt, the loneliness, the anxiety,
Can accept these harsh realities and can even grow
Because of these challenges to my essential being.
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I can sense my basic humanity,
And then I know that all men and women are my brothers and sisters.
Nothing but my own fear and distrust can separate me from the love of friends.
If I can trust others, accept them, enjoy them,
Then my life shall surely be richer and more full.
If I can accept others, this will help them to be more truly themselves,
And they will be more able to accept me.
When my mind is still and alone with the beating of my heart,
I know how much life has given me:
The history of the race, friends and family,
The opportunity to work, the chance to build myself.
Then wells within me the urge to live more abundantly,
With greater trust and joy,
With more profound seriousness and earnest service,
And yet more calmly at the heart of life.


Regards,
Lily

The Law of Attraction

Had a lovely lunch with a friend earlier today. We have been friends only recently via one of the entrepreneurial networking sessions and hit it well soon after. She is smart, intelligent, speaks well, independent and knows what she wants.She has all the positive aura. And I like it. That was where we spoke about the Law of Attraction.

According to Michael Losier’s Law of Attraction, it is the science of attracting of more you want and less of what you dont want. I simply call it “not hanging out with toxic people” because they will sap the hell out of energy from you.

This also means that you must always strive to think positively and not become phsycobiatches when confronted with issues. Hurling verbal and physical abuse towards the maid, for instance, will render you a phsycobiatch in my diagnosis. So is acting like a Kayu Ara kutus who think they are Cicilian gangsters.

Not cool.

I have seen couples who, for the life of me, cannot understand why they stay with each other. Including me and the ex but then I digress. Could it be that the Law of Attraction are in play?

Life Is Short, So What Are You Going To Do About It?

I was mulling over an apt title for this blog today as I have so much of things to say. And so I thought about the real message that I want to share.

That life is short.

A family friend passed on recently after a bout of sickness.

I recalled of a certain someone who had been in his job for like decades and never really liked it. He was doing the work because that was the only thing he knew.

Real life stories of dramas, anguish and trails of broken hearted individuals who stayed on in relationships that failed them time and again. They stayed on because of the children and for the fear of not making it on their own.

Someone I knew told me days ago that he wishes that he has my guts to do what I have done in my life before. I told him that not all risks are worth it, and not all challenges you should take. You need to ask yourself what do you want in life? What do I gain from doing all these? Can I live with this decision? If yes, for how long? If not, what are the next steps?

Some people are so caught up in every day’s dramas that they forget who they are and their social obligations to be connected with the people around them – their families, friends and colleagues. And they become biatches of all times.
