Do Unto Others...

Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You....Love begets Love...Hate begets Hate!

If you want the world to treat you well, you have to treat it well first. Have you ever notice that when you smile at anyone even a stranger, you will most likely receive a smile in return. Such is the case with love, kindness, generosity...you always get what you give out to the world.
Always be polite, kind, never hurt anyone and always tell the truth...it's hard to live by such principles but it's a manner of wanting to change for the better.

Life will always treat you exactly the way you like it to. So challenge yourself..to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

To stop

I woke up all excited for the day, then some people just spoils it for you. Sometimes I think that no matter how much you try to help someone by putting yourself out there, it is never enough and you end up being hurt.

Some people just can't be help. There is no point in caring and trying to make a difference in their lives cos they don't really care. So why should you for that matter. My precise feeling.

So it's better not to even care. Never have expectation on someone cos they will end up disappointing you.

So my lesson for the day: to stop.

Looking Within

It's been a long tiring day, yet I find trouble in falling asleep at night. I wonder about your absence in my dreams, Ron. I wonder what have you been up to and why have you been away?

I'm lying here and thinking about 'Looking Within' yourself and finding true meaning in life.
I feel it's no good for someone to tell you to forgive your pain when you cannot even forgive yourself.
When you feel anger and hatred for someone, it is often a projection of the anger and hatred you have for yourself.
Only when you have compassion for your own failings, you will find yourself more tolerant of the failings of others.
Hence, that which you cannot forgive in another, you cannot forgive in yourself.

Happiness is with you.

I haven't written in awhile, things have been so hectic at work. One task after another, leaving me very little room to breath. I'm gonna take it all in my stride. Another two months to go.

Today is another weekend of work, but managed to read for pleasure, which is something I haven't done for so long. Come across this chapter on Forgiving Yourself. I think everyone has a hard time trying to forgive themselves and moving on. I know I have.

Give yourself the gift of forgiveness.
Give up the vain hope that by holding on to a hurt you somehow might make the past better.
This moment is all you have.
You cannot change past moments.
When you let them go and happiness will return.
You will then be in a much more secure and contented frame of mind from which to find a way to forgive those who hurt you.
It's your choice to allow a different attitude to develop.
Happiness is with you.

Laurence Sterne once said "Only the brave know how to forgive. A coward never forgive; it is not in his nature".

Today being the celebration of Easter, I ask myself am I brave enough to forgive?

From the desk of Jesus

I never meant to hurt your heart.
I never wanted to be apart.
But God called one day, and said "It's time".
I eagerly replied, "Your will be done O Lord, not mine".
Life was great, just not the same.
Since Jesus spoke and called my name.
To mould me, and shape me, to be my best.
He allowed me to go through those character-building tests.
God sat besides me, and wept at every trial.
Holding my hand, He carried me from stringent to mild.
Then Jesus carefully explained His plan.
For me to help Him watch my family and friends.
So, although I may not be with you, I'm near when you call my name.
In your mind, I'd appear.
I'd be watching from a cloud and waiting patiently.
Keeping you safe til God calls you to join me.

Thought of you, Ron when I read the above cos it's what you would say.

Six months

Six months today, Ron. How fast time flies. Still can't believe you're gone. I'm sure you know what I'm going through these days. Things has been so hard for me; at work, at home. Today we said goodbye to my grandma, I'm sure you already know this. Please keep an eye on her in heaven and guide her to my grandpa. I'm sure you know I felt so bad when I saw her, lying 'asleep' cos I didnt make the effort to see her when I had the chance to do so. Seeing her lying 'asleep', made me remember seeing you for the very last time 6-months ago. Still can't believe I didn't have the chance; you were my 'could've been'.

Trying hard to take every day as it comes. Trying to hold on when I'm losing grip. Wish I can see your smile & for you to tell me that everything will be alright in your mischief tone. Please calm me, take all the anger, pain and tiredness and make everything better for me. Visit me in my dreams, Ron. Talk to me. Tell me what God would.

My new year!

Today is my big bday; my bday!
It was a quiet one this year compared with the previous ones. I stayed home (since it's a holiday) read my books (to prepare for my classes), watched a bit reality TV and had a nice long nap. It could be old age that I'm so subdued. But it was a nice day indeed; very relaxing. Something I definately needed after all the craziness that is work.

I'm looking forward to a wonderful year ahead with some great surprises this year. God if you are listening you are going to make good things happen for me this bday year cos you know I deserve it so much. I'm going to take heart and trust in You!

V-day!

So Valentine's day here...I've never been someone who celebrates Valentine's cos' it's so commercialised. Do people really need just one day of the year to tell another person they love them. Can't you love them unconditionally everyday and tell them everyday that you love them?
Do you just need a day in a year to do that?

I remember Paulo Coelho (my fave author) words: Cowards are incapable of expressing love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
