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 ...

GRATEFUL FOR 2024

From me to yours... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Another Eventful Year on Earth Checked. Have we been naughty or nice?! Wow... what an experience the Universe presented me in 2024. The year started quietly with much uncertainty as a consultant. Truly, my year kick-started in February when I was appointed the Media Officer of the IRS Prima Malaysian Open 2024 at The Mines Resort & Golf Club. I was so happy to work with the international team of professionals from Fairway Inspire Sdn Bhd and the Asian Tour. It was a time to reunite with guardian angels from the past and to connect with new friends. You guys will always remain close to my heart and etched in my positive memory vault. This year, I travelled to many golf courses telling the Smartscore scoring and management solutions story (Still peddling the stories!). Fortunately or unfortunately, realised that the golf club management scene has not changed much from the 2000s'. The majority of clubs nationwide are stil...

SEEK BALANCE THROUGH AWARENESS

What we know, or don't, was meant to be. Through observation and understanding, your mental and physical state will stay healthy and happy. I always find it fascinating hearing conversations. Whether it is a group of retirees at a kopitiam or the youngsters at cafes. Not that I am a serial eavesdropper, but these are loud groups that share information on topics regarding politics, love and life in general. Typical Malaysian mah..., "you don't know meh?", is the usual 'I knew the story before you' trait! Of course, many receive their information from the web and social media platforms that are mostly fake news (Many will argue that they are true!). Some debates seem like arguments at times, while there have been occasions when friendships end due to differences of opinion. Aren't we humans a special bunch?! Most often than not, and subconsciously, we speak without realizing the truth or knowing the facts of a case or subject matter. It is perfectly norm...
