To manifest the reality that we want, it is important to first create what we want in our mind. It is absolutely in our power to choose to focus on what we want, rather than outcomes we do not want. Remember that what we focus on is what we attract into our lives.
“If you are at all unhappy, the only reason is because life is not happening the way you want it to be.” – Sadhguru Realise that you have the power to choose your reaction to any circumstances in your life. If you change the way you think about a situation, you can also change your response to it. Essentially what every human being wants is to live joyfully, peacefully and have loving relationships. There may inevitably be times we fall…
“The wake is the trail that a boat leaves behind. The wake cannot drive the direction of the boat…it is driven by the present moment energy being generated by the boat’s engine.” – Wayne Dyer The wake of a boat is a great analogy for the wake of our lives. Coincidentally, the word ‘wake’ also means ‘funeral’ which is pretty apt as well – but I digress. The reason your life is going in this direction is not because of…
As I was queuing to make payment at a shop yesterday, the wordings on this eco-bag caught my attention. It sounded like something someone I know might say, and I was strangely encouraged by it so I decided to go back to take a photo as a reminder. Wherever you are at, whatever situation you may be going through, I hope this message from the Universe helps.
I like to think that I am a pretty logical and scientific person, but there is a free tarot portal that I have subscribed to that I sometimes check when I am feeling in need of spiritual guidance. Sometimes, the advice it dispenses is uncannily accurate for my life situations, so I do get some relief reading it from time to time. Today, as I was dreading the start of another work week, I came across their latest interpretation and…
I am someone who struggles with content creation as I don’t usually have much ideas at the outset. Starting this blog is a good thing in my opinion, but there are times which I totally run out of meaningful ideas on what to write about, and that stops me from writing consistently. Hence, I tried asking ChatGPT for 10 ideas about how to get past creativity blocks. Pretty sensible ideas, don’t you think? Numbers 3, 5, and 8 work pretty…
As part of my Japanese learning routine, I subscribed to a Japanese teacher’s podcast. Although the teacher is quite young, I think she is a great teacher and a very sensible and interesting person. In one of her podcasts, she spoke about a mindset she learnt that changed her life. It is a principle she learnt in Stoicism from Marcus Aurelius. The quote is as follows: Her takeaway from the quote is “Focus only on what you can control.” The…
Do you know anyone who has a child-like enthusiasm? I don’t mean childish, but rather a sense of enthusiasm that is pure and unbridled like a child. It doesn’t matter what age the person is, it is more of an attitude and mindset rather than actual age. My partner is someone who possesses this amazing childlike enthusiasm, maybe in greater measure than myself. It’s nice seeing adults who are not jaded and overly practical about the world. Maybe as we…
I stumbled upon an online course from Grow with Google today about how to build a business without debt, and there were several enlightening lessons I took away that made me start to look forward to forging a new path. Here are a few snippets from what I learnt: “Everything you want is outside your comfort zone – or else you would already have it” Q: What is the #1 secret to starting a business? A: Sell something to someone…
Most of my posts recently have been about my personal reflections. I normally don’t discuss much of my thoughts or pen it down, but this is probably the start of a self-evolution journey that I have no clear idea of the destination in mind yet. Starting anew after a setback in life is not easy. Setbacks can come in many forms, such as job loss, illness, losing loved ones, company closure, etc. In the worst-case scenario, they could happen all…
