CHANGING TIMES & HUMANS

Not everything or everyone remains the same.

When I was growing up, many experiences and things developed my personality and character.

Interaction with other humans were the biggest reasons of who I have become in my mid-50s.

Whether they were good or bad, I, just like all other humans, have endured the best and the worst in life.

If you are lucky, you may have met some of the nicest and most inspiring people in the world.

I have encountered bad and nasty people, but it is fine if they are upfront about being bad towards me.

I hate liars and backstabbers to say the least!

Sub-consciously, I may be unknowingly carrying some of these childhood and teenage trauma experiences into my adult life. I never was one that could react in a cool, calm and collected way.

But, ever since I discovered the teachings of Buddhism, chanting mantras and meditation, I can safely say that I may have finally found the understanding of how humans, and how life works.

Age and the wisdom that comes with it is definitely the biggest factor for everyone to discover themselves.

Many have asked me how I am able to stay cool, calm and collected?

Well, I have learnt how to detach, although not completely perfect, but I am no longer weak when it comes to containing my anger or reactions to a nasty person or situation.

Because eventually, it is not them that are having bad intentions or are nasty... It is how I deal with my thoughts, feelings and being aware of all these situations that makes the difference.

With the good comes the bad, as I was always advised by elder gurus in my life.

So, the next time someone makes you angry or sad, first ask yourself: "How should I respond or react? Is this worth an argument?

The best way for me is to always hold any answer until I activate this filtration process.

Meditation too has been a great impact on my soul since I started doing it seriously about 3-4 years ago.

Hopefully, this post would have given you some impactful tips on how to deal with the people in your life.

Happy days beautiful people!

What Matters Most Is Inside You

Somehow, humans are a bunch of sensitive, overreacting bunch!!! Observing the way things have been going, it is obvious that the world, and in particular, the human species will never change. Our lives are filled with the trails and tribulations of evolution and co-existence. Wars... they are inevitable and have always been existent even before billions of us were born. With the good, comes evil. IS ANYONE GOING TO STOP THE GENOCIDE HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE EAST? Never mind that... Just look into the mirror and ask yourself whether you have felt anguish and hatred towards another human being? Have you gotten so angry before that you felt like strangling an irritating, back-stabbing colleague? Yes..., you have right? It is okay that you have had such feelings as we all have faced our fair share of bad and evil people in our lives. Do we just sit in silence or do we do something about it? When I was younger, I would have chosen the latter cause of action. Nowadays, I am trying my best to

SHARING WHAT I LEARNT... SO FAR!

Throughout my life, I have been blessed with many experiences from challenges - the good, the bad and the ugly. Like most other humans on Earth, there have been times when there seems to be no hope. The dark days were often filled with calamities in career and finances most of the time. Sounds familiar, right? For me, I have been fortunate to have family and friends to be there for me. May they be blessed with a happy and prosperous life. One thing is for sure, I realized now at 54, not all bad days will stay, just like good happy days. This realization comes from the "polishing" of my inner-self over the years; the hammering of the ego, the much-needed slap of my pessimistic nature... heck, whatever weaknesses that I was born with. Wisdom setting in? The meeting with many people that I came into contact with in my life, and the various situations that I had to deal with in my career and personal life of course, was the foundation laying of this realization. Learning from the

REMINDER: BE KIND

Have people forgotten to be kind & respectful to each other? Hello beautiful people. I was awakened by inspiration to write on this topic. In our daily lives, we meet many people who are either nice or toxic. If we're lucky, some of us can feel people with kind or bad energy. The experiences are unavoidable and is part of our life path or fate, I suppose. Yin and yang, I have personally encountered good and bad people. More good and kind souls, thankfully. But either or, they are blessings of experience that have given me awareness and wisdom. Recently, I have encountered many rude people. They seemed to have forgotten their manners or the basic need to be kind and loving to others. Some are just plain rude. Has the desire and greed for success, money and power gone to their heads? We must remind ourselves that we cannot change people though. Here are some tips for everyone to be aware of their speech and actions daily: Be kind You are not better than another person Don'
