Keep Your Eye on the Goalposts...

Realize what it is you wish to achieve in life, and never lose sight of that goal. Always keep your eye on the goalposts....

Running on Automatic

Ever feel as if you are nothing but an automaton, going by task as if they are natural path of life?

Sometimes it is good that you are able to go through menial task as if by instinct, because you don't have to think about it.

But what if you just do things by automatic without noticing it, do you not then become nothing more than a machine?

Imagine you going through life without noticing a single thing, and before you know it you would be dead.

So take a little time off from running on automatic and be conscious about your task, or mix it up now and again so that you can spot the small wonders or the big miracles in life before its too late.

Enjoy Life

Returning to the source of all things.

Some people believe that Life and Death are polarity between light and darkness. But in reality life and death are both light. When you die there is life again, it is a brief intermission before your next life begins, so death is merely a process and all is actually light.

The source of all things is life, and since everything is light then the source of all things must be light. Do not worry for all is light in the end.

The 3 Rules of Living a Successful Life

1. Fight for life
2. Take responsibilities for your action
3. Never ever give up

Overcoming negativity

In we were to use the theory of mathematics, logic, and reasoning in handling negativity we would face it with more negativity. By way of an eye for an eye. But this beget nothing except more hurt and more pain. If they take our eye and we take their eye, eventually both of us will be blind.

However if we do not do this but show negativity with positivity, turn them the other cheek. Overcoming those negativity with kindness, your own personal will, casting away your own fear and pushing aside any burden. Then what we overcome can only become our own positive.

Do not demand of others for what you can do yourself

Sometime in your life you would "relegate" responsibilities to others so that you do not have to do it. That is not relegating that is shirking responsibilities. If you can do it yourself with nno fuss why not do it and be done with it.

Give responsibilities to others only because you feel you have nothing to bring to the table or they can do it better than you can. If they can achieve it but won't don't make demand for them to do it either or they will just feel pressured and leave you alone.

If someone make demand on you when you do not have to do it, do you not feel as pressured. So when giving responsibilities to others do it with a light heart and no expectations so that you will not be hurt by it nor other feel pressured by it.

Alone in the Dark

I was making my way through the darkness when I saw a light
I then choose to chase it and try to grasp it will all my might
But the light flicker and flitter and flys from my hand
Living me again alone in this darken land.
For quite a while time seems to have passed by
And then all of a sudden the light came back in front of my eyes
But it has been so long that my eyes have adjusted
That right now I think I prefer the darkness.

-Metha Metharom

This is a poem I wrote a long time ago about finding my own light and not needing anyone else to traverse my own darkness.

Challenging yourself

When we overcome a challenge we grow in our strength and determination, as well as in term of wisdom and knowledge.

So when life exist without challenge we stagnate and sometime regress due to unused gifts and abilities.

Challenge yourself once in a while, to do new things, to achieve new goals and perhaps we can stay on par with who we are and even better yet improve ourselves even more.

About Goal Setting...

Live for yourself, and not for others

It is a very kind offer for you to live for others, very self-sacrificial. It could also be seen that you see yourself as unworthy to live.

The more you place yourself in the role of the self-sacrifice the more you are going to blame others for the problems which you have incurred upon yourself.

But if you live for yourself and not for others, then the only person you can blame is yourself, on the upside the only person you can thank is also yourself.

By living for others you will feel the weight of them on your shoulder but if you live for yourself then you have only your own problem to consider.

So live for yourself and you will find life a much happier place to be and less of a burden.

The paths of truth

There is not one truth, but many truths, which are all aspects of the One Truth.

Just as all roads leads to the same point.

To believe in only one truth is not wrong, but to force your truth down other people's throat as the One Truth is not right.

Each one of us must find and discover our truth so that we in the end may continue on the path of the One Truth.

April Fool's

The 1st of April is commonly known as April Fool's Day, the traditional day for joke and prank to be pull.

This is a great day for us to not take life too seriously and to go with the flow.

But some jokes can be taken too far, which could seriously hurt someone emotionally, or even physically.

If you wish to make a joke, make sure do it responsibly that which would harm none.

Only by walking through the valley of death will you be reborn

There comes a time in everyone life where everything seems abyssmal and you wish you were dead because of an incident which cause you trauma, but by getting up on our feet and walking away from these things can we start again from scratch.

Such is the phrase, "Only by walking through the valley of death will you be reborn"

Only by walking away from our old life can we begin a new.

Life without hardship is like a beach without sands

In life, we are continuously challenged by various hardship. But it is these hardship that allows us to appreciate life as we have it.

In the same way can you appreciate the beach when it has sands, otherwise it will be just rocks and water.

Imagine walking on those rocks in the water, there would be very little pleasure in it but to feel the sands in our toes can we appreciate the softness that those little things has to offer.

Contribution to the needy.

I been touching on the subject of needs and wants and now want to come back to expand on it some more.

Looking inward you can find what you need, but looking outward what is it that one can offer?

I thought about this for a long time and realize that what I can offer to others is not money, or gifts but rather the gift of me. I can offer myself to society if the needs ever occur, my life, my time, my energy, my thoughts and my love.

So if you ever thought about how you can help your own society, perhaps you should look into what you as a person can offer and not what you as a resource can do.

Living life to the max

The way I see it your life is either rule by fate or freewill.

If it is rule by fate, then everything you do does not matter and it will turn out the way it will anyway, so might as well live it to the max and not waste what time you have.

If it is rule by freewill, then everything is left to chance and therefore there is a 50/50 chance that something bad or dire may happen to you the very next day. So live it to the max as if it were your last, because if everything is up to chance then it might as well be.

So just live life not by rules or convention but how you want to, as no matter what you do you can not control how it will end anyway.

Searching for answers

One of the few things which I always wanted to know was why? or what? Such as why am I here? or for what purpose do I have? Though it is never truely is clear on the answers that I found, it did indeed answered some unasked questions. By living life and then looking at it as if a stranger in, I learn many a things about myself. What I seek? What I want? What I need? Experiencing the various ups and downs as a whole I have grown.

But yet still I could not find these answers and I realize then that the answers does not lie in just living life but how I live it. When I began to put that into practices I realize that the answers that I always wanted had always been there, in myself all along, it just took sometime in getting there.

So in closing, the answers you seek may be no further than the skin you wear, it is just through short sightedness on your part that you can not see past your skin. Experience all there is to experience and find what answers you did not ask and by elimination perhaps you will find your own answers in a question that you always had but did not know.
