Relax

What does relax mean? 
There could be many different meanings. For some, it means doing nothing. For some, it means doing something. 

Perhaps doing something seemingly relaxing can really have the effect as such but what if it does not? What can we do then? 

Is going for a spa relaxing? 
If it is purely spa and not signing up for a spa package that could mean relaxing. But if it involves signing up a package and having to go to the same spa doing the same treatment regardless of rain or shine, that could induce stress in some. 

Is watching a movie relaxing? 
If it is a movie that could help the mind wander off into fantasy, that could mean relaxing. But if it is a movie with negative inputs, it is the total opposite of relaxing and unfortunately, most movies promote exactly that. Why? It is because the public love watching such movies with zombies, fights, twists, and etc. These movies are full of excitement and we would never fall asleep in the cinema. Even children movies and cartoons will have some if not all the elements, whether we realize it or not. These elements keep viewers hooked to the movie and remember for a long time. Then, there are merchandise for them too. 

What does this mean? 
If we do realize, everything in our lives seem to have something to do with money. Signing up the spa package needs and means money. Getting hooked in a movie and buying merchandize needs and means money. Perhaps it is money that is the evil or the angel. 

If we are able to live peacefully with money, then we will be able to relax at all times. This requires effort. This requires understanding too. This sounds complicated but it is worth spending time thinking about. Most of us do not realize that we are at war with money. Being free from the boundaries that we ourselves have created around money is the true freedom.

Sleepless

A sleepless night. When it is time to sleep but one could not sleep. What makes that? 

Perhaps there is too much going on in the head. 
Perhaps there is too much interference going on in the external world. 
Perhaps it is a combination of both. 

Sometimes life can be cruel. Most importantly is how we look at life and how we choose to live life. The way we perceive life is the way life will be. This is the law of attraction.

Balance

The blur is sometimes the only thing that is in the memory. Whatever we pay attention to right before we sleep is the thing that usually stays in our mind and make our dream. This is the reason why successful people only keep the mind busy with the things that are important to make success. This is what makes the difference between normal people and successful people. 

But how to determine the right amount of time to spend on thinking about something before going overboard to become obsessed with it? Obsession can be the total opposite and can bring negative impact on the person. Overthinking can cause breakdown in the mind and relationships as well. It is of utmost importance that the person knows when to continuously spend time on one thing and when to actually stop thinking about it. 

Keeping balance between exercising the mind to its limits and taking sufficient rest to rejuvenate. 
This takes practice. 
This keeps people sane at all times.

What Is

What is there to see? 
What is there to write? 

Life is amazing. Sometimes it really does not matter what is, it only matter what there is. 

Perhaps there is a mass of things to remember but there might not be anything important enough to remember for life. What seems to be important now might not be so the next minute. Life is ever changing. It is our duty to stay up to date with life. 

Sometimes we do not know what is real. Perhaps it is not important to identify that. Perhaps it is only important for us to know what there is.

Disturb

Sometimes things happen. Whatever that happens seem to disturb the tranquility of life. Perhaps that is the first thought in our mind but is that really so? 

Everything happens for a reason. 

If life is smooth sailing out entire lifetime, will it be the life we are meant to live? Of course we would love to have everything going according to how we want it to be. 

Think again. 
Where is the fun in living? 
Will we have the motivation to learn new skills? 
Are we going to be satisfied with what we already have? 

Life is an ever changing game. There are times where life is a flow and there will be times where life is a rapid. Whatever challenge we face. Whatever potholes we encounter. The cure is always available for us to seek. We just have to learn to stay calm in search of what we seek. 

Patience is key.

Late

It is always better late than never. 

In life, we always strive the best to be early or on time. Though the efforts, sometimes some things may end up unexpected. Some people will be demotivated. Some people will be neutral. The really successful people will continuously strive for the best. It is regardless of whether or not there is success or failure, these people have the courage to continuously challenge themselves. They are the one percent (1%) of the entire world's population. 

Are they the rare species? 
Perhaps it is meant to be. 
Perhaps it is the determination that makes them who they are. 

Are we capable of that? 
Perhaps we all are if we have the right attitude.

Wake

Waking early is great but unintentionally waking too early is total opposite of great. 

Sometimes we are awaken unintentionally in the middle of our beauty sleep. This can happen at any time, anywhere, and any situation. Perhaps there is a reason for everything that happens but sometimes, finding the reason may be a little challenging. Is it always a must to find the reason? 

That depends. 

It all comes back to our senses. If we sense that it is important, then no matter what we will try our best to find the reason. If we do not sense it, perhaps letting it go and the reason will soon prevail without much fuss. 

Life is a matter of patience.

Trust

Where there are questions, the universe provides the answer. We just need to communicate with our inner self and ask the right questions for the answer to prevail. Sometimes, it is direct. Sometimes, it is not so direct. No matter the condition, the answer is always there. 

We just need to know where to look.

Smell

What is that smell? 
Where is that smell coming from? 

We are all born with the senses that make us. We use our eyes to see, nose to smell, ears to hear, tongue to taste, and skin to touch. These are the five senses that we learn in school that makes us who we are. There is another sense that is less prominent but most important, the sixth sense. It is said that when we were born, we are complete with all six senses but as time goes by, our filters become stronger and hence, the sixth sense just goes hidden without a trace. 

Is that true? 
Perhaps for most of us, but not all of us. 

Though we each have all the senses we need to survive, we each also have one or two senses which is stronger. And of course, there are some people with one or two impaired senses,, then their remaining senses would be amplified as a natural way of compensation. 

It is rather easy to determine which senses are our stronger ones. 

If something wakes us from our sleep, that could be danger. 
If something changes our emotion, that could be health related. 
If something makes us salivate, the could be delicious. 
When something smells delicious, we already preconditioned our taste buds. The enhanced taste buds will be able to taste each and every component of whatever that comes into contact with them. That makes the entire eating experience up a notch. That is gourmet. 

Some senses are indeed closely connected with other senses. All we need to do is to connect with each and everyone of our senses every single day. Life can be better with all our senses.

Home

What is called home? 
A house can be big or small. A home can be warm or cold.     

A home is our safe sanctuary. A home is where we find comfort. A home is where we look forward to going to every single day to feel love and joy. 

We all have a roof over our heads. How many of us actually call it our home?     

Monday, August 16, 2021

Cool

Weather is the one thing that effects everyone in the entire world. It does not matter which corner we are situated in, weather effects our daily lives and us, as a whole. 

Sunny weather is great but prolonged sunny weather can turn into drought. 
Rainy weather is great but prolonged rainy weather can cause floods. 

It is important to have a balance between sun and rain so that we can have a balance in life. The sun provides heat and light. The rain provides water and life. Without either, there will be no chance for any organism to survive. 

What there is on the outside is also what happens on the inside. We probably cannot control the weather at large, but we certainly can manipulate the weather within. Perhaps a balance between our own active and passive sides is the key towards finding ourselves.

Rest

Getting enough rest is important to make life. 

Some people can sleep all day long because there is nothing else better to do. Some people work day and night thinking everything needs them. 

How many people really get rest and work balanced the way they should? How much rest is enough? How much work is sufficient? 

Perhaps we really should spend time arranging our lives and experimenting what suits us. There is not one true best way that works for everyone but there is surely something that works for us if we understand our own needs. 

It is important to separate out our needs from what we think is our needs but really is just our wants. What we want may not be what we need, what we need may not be what we want.

Birthday

Age is just a number. It does not matter the age. What matters is the experiences that make us who we are. 

With every passing year, we grow a year older. Time is the essence for wisdom. Whether or not we can see past emotions and live past hurdles is entirely up to us. 

Time will past not matter what. What we gain is dependent on how we choose.

Love

A space so familiar yet so different. Where are we? 

Love is something very strange. It can come in many forms. It can be something we can touch but it can also be something we can only feel. It can be in a form but it can also be abstract. 

Being loved is sweet. 
Being lovely is wonderful. 
Spreading love is the greatest gift of all. Begin with loving ourselves. Let love grow. Spread the love far and wide to touch every soul there is. It is only with love that we grow stronger with humanity and peace.

Feeling

Emotions can have a substantial effect on a person. Some people like to set emotions aside to make better judgement of any situation. Is emotion the same as feeling? 

Some will say yes, and some no. 

If a person acts on emotions, most of the time the act is drastic. For example, an angry person could be beating someone up for minute reasons or a happy person could be hugging everyone he meets even for the first time. If emotions set aside, the person may neither be angry nor happy in any situation. The person will be able to see things and be impartial in the decision. Fairness can be obtained through analysis from all angles in any situation. 

What about feelings? 

Sometimes as we analyze, there is something that bothers us. There is this feeling of uncertainty that keeps us awake at night. There is something that makes us worry or relieved. It seems like our heart is pumping faster than usual but when we check our heart rate, it is normal. Perhaps this is what some people call gut feeling. This is not emotion but can affect our emotions. 

Over worrying about something can wreck havoc in our sleep which indirectly affects our emotions the next day. Being relieved about something can give us a good night's sleep which directly affects our emotions the next day. If we are to stay focused, we should be able to differentiate between feelings and emotions. 

The feelings that we have usually come unconsciously. It is as if there is something out there showing us light in the darkness. It is as if there is a power pushing us to make the right decision but most often, we either just brush off the feelings and trust our conscious mind, or act drastically to one direction without thinking at all. 

Perhaps if we may, analyze everything consciously and trust our gut to choose the right choice there is. Would this be the ideal way to voyage through all life's challenges?

Forget

Remembering a dream is easy, forgetting one is even easier. 

The most important step of remembering a dream is to keep the eyes closed, recall, and record. This means we have to really wake up to record after we recall. If we laze in bed still, the dream will fade. By the time we really get out of bed and ready to record, it can be partially or thoroughly gone.

Relax

The state of mind is very important at all times. When times are stretched, it is even more crucial to hold it together and be relax to have a clear vision of everything. 

Sometimes, we find it hard to have a clear vision no matter how we try. Our environment holds a big chunk of information. Take a look around. Is the room, the home, the office all having the same thoughts? 

Listen to what everything has to communicate with us. Are we in such environment that promotes clarity? 

If there is clutter everywhere, 
it is the clump that extends from our heads. 

If there is organization everywhere, 
it is the strength that extends from our heads. 

If there is space everywhere, 
it is the sense of calmness that extends from our heads. 

Always create space for creativity and advancement.

Early

Anything can be the reason for rising early. It could be something we have in mind. It could be something that bothers. It could be something out of the ordinary. What is early to some may be late for others. It all depends on the perception and the situation. 

If there is a long walk uphill before we can witness the most beautiful sunrise at the peak of the mountains along the beautiful morning mist, 2 am is considered late. 

If there is a long day tomorrow to handle meetings and greetings with various people and scenarios, 2 am is considered too early and could jeopardize our entire day. 

If we are in a holiday mood and there is nothing much to do the day after, 2 am is just a time that does not matter because we can sleep until our body is ready to wake up at any time the next day. 

Everything depends on just one thing. What is there the next day?

Full

The usual meaning of full is being stuffed with food we can no longer eat anymore. We describe full with a particular size. When a container is already full, it can no longer contain anything extra. But is this true? 

There is an interesting experiment we can all do. 
  • Take a glass container and simply fill it with pebbles to the max. It looks full but is it really so? 
  • Take some sand and simply fill it into the same container with pebbles to the max. It looks full but is it really so? 
  • Take some water and simply fill it into the same container with pebbles and sand to the max. It looks full but is it really so? 

Sometimes things does not look like it seems. It is the perception of our mind that makes it look as though it is full. Perhaps it is better described as filled but not full. 

How can we be sure that we are full? 
Simple
When we have extra to give. If we are full of something, we have the urge to giveaway something, to anybody in need.  

How can we be sure we have extra to give? 
Simple
When we understand the true meaning of giving. It makes others happy. By giving, it fill others' lives with light and joy. Making others happy means everything. 

First things first, make sure we are full ourselves, and then we can make sure to fill others as well. 
Sometimes being selfish is being selfless.

Point

When we want to do something, we have to make it a point to achieve what we want to do. 

It does not matter big or small. It only matters the determination to do it and the sense of responsibility to making it happen.     

Friday, August 6, 2021

Guard

Sometimes we are capable of guarding ourselves. Sometimes we need others to guard us. 

In times of difficulty, it is easy to be over our own barriers. We can be too careful in all areas so much that we limit our own creativity. 

In times of simplicity, it is easy to let go of our own barriers. We can be too naïve in all areas so much that we often overlook the important areas to excel. 

Learning to balance in between is a task worth investing our time in. 

Life is by choice.

Durian

The king of fruits is in season. 

Everywhere, everyone is having durian feast. Life is wonderful whenever this fruit is available. Multiple stalls line the streets all selling the fragrant fruits. 

People have made it a point to cultivate the best tasting fruits with the most flesh and tiny seed. To the grateful bunch, everyone of them is worth a praise. Most importantly, those who are kind enough not to use artificial pesticides in their orchards. 

Thank you.

Guardian Angel

Some people believe that guardian angels are unseen forces that help us get through life. Others believe that guardian angels are people around us that help us create the path we need to walk through. 

Perhaps, guardian angels come in many forms. They can be seen or unseen. It does not really matter what shape or size or representation we imagine them to be. As long as we believe they are around to help us, then they are exactly where they need to be when they need to be. 

Sometimes, guardian angels might even come in two forms. One as the guardian taking charge of everything and protecting the entire family from harm. Another as the angel making sure everyone does what needs to be done and keeping everyone safe. They can be felt, seen, and touched. They shower us with love and forever have a place in our hearts.

Sleep

When a dream seems random, try to pick up the pieces. It is just a puzzle waiting to be put together into a masterpiece. 

Awaken and cannot fall asleep again? 
Different people relaxing? 
A baby sleeping with a lullaby song? 
Father sleeping on the couch? 
Mother brushing teeth after dinner? 

All the strange and random appearances of people and incidents in a dream or several overlapping dreams can be interesting. Perhaps this particular dream is informing us the importance of sleep and that we should do everything we can to let ourselves sleep soundly at night.     

Monday, August 2, 2021

Lethargy

Is feeling tired equivalent to feeling lethargy? 
Some would answer yes, while some would probably say no. 

Tired is the most commonly used term in describing the feeling that we do not want to do anything. Sometimes it is due to lack of rest but sometimes it is simply by choice. For example, we do not want to get out of the house because there really is nothing interesting to do out there and we say "I am tired of the same old routine every Sunday. I might as well just choose to stay home this Sunday." 

The word tired is also more commonly used because of its simplicity in writing as well as pronunciation. This makes lethargy the better word to be used to describe the feeling of lack of energy. But what really is the difference between these two words? They sound different. They spell different. Do they mean different too? 

Perhaps not everyone would agree with the meaning perceived here. This is the way some people might see it. 

Tired refers to lack of energy with a cause. For example one is tired because one cannot sleep, or one is tired because one has done a lot of work for the day. After a good night's rest and energy is restored, one will be back to normal. 

Lethargy on the other hand refers to lack of energy, can be with or without a cause. For example one can feel lethargy because of lack of rest, but one can also feel lethargy without any direct cause at all. Perhaps it is the air quality. Perhaps it is hydration. Perhaps it is the side effects of having a vaccination. There is always a cause but because we lack understanding, we cannot find the cause and we think it has no cause. 

Perhaps it is also safe to say that lethargy sounds more serious than that of tired. Some people might think so because it is a less commonly used word. Some people might think so because it has more alphabets in it. Some people might think so because it is harder to pronounce. Whatever the reason, it is always great practice to get sufficient sleep, drink enough water, eat nutritious foods, and keep the mind clear. 

Note: For better explanation of the word tired and lethargy, please refer to a dictionary.

Sleep

Sleep is the most important activity of any living being. It is the natural mechanism of healing, rejuvenation, and reset. We should be grateful to get this opportunity everyday. The beginning of each day is a new adventure and after every adventure we have the luxury to rest. 

We are in this era of history and this place on earth whereby we are able to sleep soundly and safely at night. We should be grateful for that each and every day. There has been those era whereby our ancestors are fearful to fall asleep because of dangers that lurk in the dark. There are also people who are living in places so extreme whereby sleeping means the possibility to never seeing tomorrow. 

If there are problems unsolved, just let go and live life as we should. There is no problem big enough that cannot be solved just a minute later. There is no problem big enough that should be allowed to disrupt our daily life, especially our sleep. It is all about being present in the moment and living life the way we should. 

There is one thing however, that we all should be aware of and concerned about. 
Nature. 
Nature provides and thus nature also has the ability to stop providing. Pay attention to be close to nature and protect nature. Everything else is just minute.

Disturbed

A disturbed sleep can be caused by many things. Sometimes by external factors, sometimes by internal ones, and sometimes a bit of both. Whatever the reason, a disturbed sleep can wreck havoc to the entire days' activity. 

What is in a dream can be something that is in the back of our head. It does not necessarily mean anything important but it certainly has some weight in our life. 

In life, we try to make sense of everything that happens. Sometimes some things just happen without any sense at all. Some can come as a surprise, some can come expected. Perhaps with an open mind, more great things can happen and more great things can be achieved.    

Friday, July 30, 2021

Interesting

Things that happen in the subconscious mind is interesting. If we never tap into it, we never know. When we do tap into it, everything becomes very interesting. We realize sometimes the things have already passed. There are also things that are happening and things that we think is irrelevant. 

It all comes back to the question of whether or not we have had the feeling that we have been in the situation before as we are in the situation currently. It is like Déjà vu. Somehow we are certain that we have never been in that situation, be it the people we meet, the things we see, or even the places we are at. 

With the people we meet, perhaps we might say that we have forgotten but what about a new born? 
With the things we see, perhaps we explain it have slipped our mind but what about new inventions? 
With the places we are at, perhaps we excuse it is from pictures but what about the experience? 

Our minds are always active and we tend to think of answers to all questions but when things cannot be explained, they become very interesting to explore. 

A dream can be made up in the subconscious mind. 
A dream can also be the link between the past and the future. 
A dream... that is the source of great inventions.    

Thursday, July 29, 2021

Relationship

There is always a mixture of feelings in any relationship. 

Sometimes somethings just do not make sense. When we think everything should gel but they do not. When we think nothing is related but they somehow are. 

Life itself is mysterious. It is up to us to uncover life layer by layer like peeling the onion. The smell of the onion can freshen us up or make us cry.   

Wednesday, July 28, 2021

Combination

A vacuum 
A chocolate 
A drawing block 
An artist 
What do we make of everything above? 

Strange things we may dream, sometimes even out of the way. Perhaps these are clues of how certain problems can be solved. Perhaps these are a glimpse of the future that is to come. Perhaps these are the remnants of the past we may have forgotten. Perhaps. Perhaps. We will never know unless we give it a good thought. 

Our mind is a wonderful mystery that makes us the genius we are. Be grateful that we are able to remember our dreams because many are not capable of that. Be it good or bad dreams. It is a great gift.  

Tuesday, July 27, 2021

Information

Being resourceful involves having the ability to find the relative information at the right time. Knowing what is needed means knowing the relevant questions to ask in order to get the answers required. 

Everything takes practice. 
Practice makes progress. 
Progress becomes experience. 
Experience builds personality. 
Personality is the reason we are unique.   

Monday, July 26, 2021

Wonder

Sometimes we really wonder what is the mind made of... 
Dreams can be random.  

Sometimes dreams just do not gel together and it really makes one wonder how can everything get jumbled up together. The people, the places, the events all do not make sense. But somehow they end up in the same dream. 

Perhaps this is life. 
What we see may be just our imagination. 
What we learn may be just our emotion. 
What we adapt may be just our expectation. 
There is no certainty, that is certain.  

Sunday, July 25, 2021

Relief

When something boggling is out of the way, there is a sense of relief that is spread throughout the entire body. The stress is finally out, the overthinking is finally over, and the tension is finally gone. The body feels good as the muscles relax and the mind clears. 

Perhaps there comes a time when sleep becomes prominent, and a need for survival. Listen to the body and sleep in replacement of the hours. 

Rejuvenate 

Every part of our body, every inch of our soul, and every piece of our mind will thank us for it. Get ready for the greater things ahead. 

Saturday, July 24, 2021

Move

When we intend to move things, we find the energy to do so. 
When we are moving things, we gather more energy along the way for everything else. 

This is called Motivation

Be still and calm. Give things a thought. Then, move the direction and live life. 
Life is Simple

Friday, July 23, 2021

Dilemma

Life sometimes can be a dilemma. 

Has it come to the point that a decision needs to be made already? 
On one hand, it is important to keep ourselves drug free as far as possible to steer towards natural living. 
On the other hand, it is also important (according to medical experts) to reach herd immunity especially those living in urban communities. 

Is there anyway that one can maintain the basic principal of life? 
Or if this is the time to give in to what every member of the public sees as necessary? 

Thursday, July 22, 2021

Pressure

When the whole world is worried about one thing, nobody seems to pay attention to what really matters. The root cause of it all. 

Is this the first time a pandemic occurs in history?
When the pandemic occurs. everyone is busy looking for cures. Is there not anyone interested in finding out why this pandemic is and why this pandemic evolves? Has anyone ever realized that it is a matter of acceptance and control? 

Acceptance... 
of Life and Death 

We all have but one life and thus should accept also the same one death. Whenever, wherever, whatever, whyever, however. Surely there are things undone. Surely there are circumstances we wished we would have more time for. Surely what is at hand and what lays in the future seems important. When the time comes, is there even an escape? 

Of course there is also the question of suffering till death but what is life without suffering. It is through the difficulties that we cherish the ease. It is through breathlessness that we cherish the air. It is through lack that we cherish the love. This is the flow of life. 

Control...
of Emotions and Situations 

We have all lost our senses. We have no control over our emotions and because of that, we fail to see the big picture and lose control over the situation. Surely there is a cure to everything but whether we are seeking a partial or impartial cure that is the question. 

When something terrible occurs, we are always driven into finding the fastest path to end the suffering. But is the fastest always the best? Very often we just take the seemingly best route to a near success without weighing the rate of success and the consequences it bears. Very often we are blinded by the near future and never look beyond that. What is may not be what seems, what seems may be something else. It is emotions over the situation that easily outweighs the importance of deciding based on the situation itself. 

It all comes back to one question: 
What is the purpose of this pandemic? 

From here perhaps only the answer to the entire situation can be answered. Everything happens for a reason and the sole reason is the purpose we should all seek, rather that getting panicked over who is vaccinated and who is dying. 

Emotions aside and all will be clear. 

Wednesday, July 21, 2021

Capability

We have the capability to heal naturally. We only need to believe so and do what nature intends. 

Breathe in fresh air. 
Eat nutritious foods. 
Drink sufficient water. 
Sleep soundly at night. 

Tuesday, July 20, 2021

Dream

The state of the mind is and can be complicated. 

What is in a dream? 
What is in a half awake state? 
What is in the reality? 

Could it be that we are living in multiple universes at the same time that overlaps to the point we cannot differentiate between the universes? 

Monday, July 19, 2021

Hard

Words are wonderful gestures. The meaning of a word can be widespread. 

Hard can mean something is very hard to achieve. But it can also mean support. It is definitely easier to walk on hard ground compared to soft thick snow. 

The next time a situation seems hard on us, why not think of it as the foundation that is building us for what is to come... the smooth sailing future. 

Sunday, July 18, 2021

Feeling

We are all painters of our own life. 

Anything we can imagine will manifest in the real world. 
Anything we can feel is the truth in our heart. 

Sometimes we just over imagine things. 
Sometimes we are over sensitive of things. 

How can we differentiate between what is and what is not? 
Perhaps a simple calming of the mind and heart will do the trick. Or is it really that simple to calm down? 

Saturday, July 17, 2021

Uncertainty

Uncertainty is the only certainty in the world. We have to stay top notch in the winds of change in life. 

Friday, July 16, 2021

Wink

When a human wink, it means ...
When an animal wink, it means ...

Anything is possible. A human can wink, so can an animal. Whatever the reason that made them wink, it is a cute gesture.

Thursday, July 15, 2021

Blank

The feeling of pain with a blank thought. What does that even mean?

Perhaps is the right time to recuperate.
Perhaps is the right time to regenerate.
Perhaps is the right time to recollect.

Align the thoughts with the purpose. This is the time to think through.

Wednesday, July 14, 2021

Opportunity

Opportunity comes for everyone. 
Whether or not we see it is a variable. 
Whether or not we take it is a choice.

Tuesday, July 13, 2021

Pain

When something hurts, we often only notice the external pain. What treats wounds best is the acknowledgement of the internal pain. Pay attention to the real cause and the solution will surface.

Monday, July 12, 2021

Storage

Where is information stored? 

Is it limited to just our brain? We are aware that information can be stored externally in papers and computers. This brings us to broaden our minds. Are we open to the thought that information can be stored everywhere, even in spaces, spaces that is not represented by objects? 

We live in a world of creation and what we see with our eyes are literally things that we have been creating our entire life. What we see is information made into reality. But what makes information? And where does all the information come from? How is everything managed? How do we retrieve the right information at any specific time? 

Is it possible that we are retrieving information stored by another person? Is it possible that we can share information with one another without even realizing? 

The entire universe can be our storage system, if we may.

Dream

Many ideas are born from dreams. 

How do we remember our dreams? 

Perhaps it is the question of sleep management. We have the power to decide. 
When we want to sleep? 
Where we want to travel? 
What we want to process? 
Why we want to remember? 
How we want to achieve everything? 
Who we really are and who we want to become? 

Practice makes progress. 
This is already progress. The dream may be lost but the effort is worth praising. Something is better than nothing.

Organize

Organized spaces is lovely. 

Perhaps the space needs improvement. 
Or perhaps we get bored with situations easily. 
Or we are just creative beings and love changes every now and then. 

Life is about growing.

Awake

There are times when things are not so certain. Times like when we are unsure if it is the current or alternate reality or simply put, awake or asleep. 

Things can become prominent but somehow does not make sense with reality or the so call real life events that we have been believing is true all the time.

Blocks

One thing can mean many things. 

One brick is called a block. 
One building made of many bricks is also called a block. 
Sometimes the mind is stuck, a block. 

What if, we can gather the blocks to build steps? 
We always have the capabilities to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones. We just have to embrace our many talents. 

TRUST and BELIEVE in ourselves.

Enlightenment

If there is something in the mind, acknowledge it. 

Sometimes, it is the simple act of knowing it is there that we can finally let go of the old habits to bring in the productive new alignment. 

The strength for change comes from within.

Like

Bird of a feather flock together. 

Humans really should learn about this. 
If you are in the group, you become one. 
If you want to be different, you have to differentiate. 
If you want to be better, you put yourself where you belong.

Consequence

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we can identify it easily, other times, it is more subtle. 

There is always a cause and reaction. 
What we do today, determines the route we take tomorrow. The world is always changing. Though we have no idea what will happen in the future, we can always choose what we think is right at the moment. 

Sunday, July 4, 2021

Lend

Lending a helping hand to a person in need is a great way of being kind. Sometimes, we do need to know how worthy is the person to deserve help. Perhaps it is better to teach the person to fish, rather than to give fish to the person. 

Why is it in a restaurant? 
Why are there crowds around? 

May be there is a special meaning to everything. 
May be it is just a coincident. 
There is a reason for everything. 

Time will tell. 
If it was a dream from the past or a voyage to the future. 

Saturday, July 3, 2021

Think

Thinking big is something incredible. 
Thinking with a superbrain is even better. 

We just love the way things are when they come into place for the better of everyone's future. 

Friday, July 2, 2021

Big

Decision making can be quite a challenge, especially when it comes to running a nation. 

Good luck everyone. 

Stay safe! Stay healthy! 

Thursday, July 1, 2021

Job

Job seeking can be fun and unexpected. 

When it pops up in dreams, it becomes an interesting feat. 
Perhaps the time has come to move on or perhaps the message is otherwise.

Ginger

What has ginger in a pot got to do with a family member? 

The mind works wonders, especially in dreams. 
How to decipher the meaning from a dream? 

Tuesday, June 29, 2021

Satisfaction

Satisfaction brings love or love brings satisfaction. 

This is a matter of chicken and egg. Which came first? 
Chicken hatches from egg but eggs are laid by chicken. 
So which one really came first? 

Perhaps we are all from a one cell microorganism but how did we diversify into so many variations? 
Or did we just came out of creation itself? 

There are so many questions out there that remains unsolved. Perhaps life is just is. Perhaps it is us, who made the simplicity of the situation into a complicated one.

Sleep

The most important portion of the life of any living being is sleep. 

Just a short experiment of sufficient or deprived sleep can proof the fact. Not only the quantity but also the quality will make a whole lot of difference. 

Best if sleep is made into a fixed routine. 
Sleep the same time every night and wake the same time every morning.

Love Shack

"The love shack is a little old place where, we can get together..."
~Single by the B-52's~ 

Sometimes we wake up and there is this song just playing in the head. 
What does it mean? 
Is it coming from a dream? 
Or is it just random? 

This particular song has been a long time, nothing recent. 
Is it because the yearn for love? 
Or better still, is it because love is all around? 

Whatever the reason, We should be appreciative of every good thing that comes lighting up our lives, and every challenge that comes uplifting the mind and spirit. 

Saturday, June 26, 2021

Think

The mind is a simple yet complicated part of the body. It works only based in the information we decide to feed in. On the other hand, how we decide to feed the mind is based on what we are surrounded by. In the end, the decision making portion requires a lot of thinking. 

What is positive? 
What is good? 

Friday, June 25, 2021

Sleep

What determines sleep? 

It is the quantity and quality. 
Both are equally as important. The ultimate goal is to get 7 - 8 hours of good night's sleep. Anything beyond can create sluggishness. Anything below can create fatigue. 

Aim for the ideal.

Ship

When we are in a still ship, we should weigh whether it is better to mend the ship or to jump into the sea. 

Life is such an adventure. The possibilities are endless. 

Wednesday, June 23, 2021

Low

When the mood is low, all the more reason to lay a low key. It does not mean to sweep everything under the carpet and forget about it. It simply means silent the thoughts and remain calm. 

Calmness of the mind give space for creativity. 
Solution often come when we least expect it. 

Tuesday, June 22, 2021

Help

Everyone needs a little help every now and then. 

Whether or not we are able to help depends very much on our willingness within. Lending a helping hand gives satisfaction and perhaps will generate a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the person to help someone else in return. 

Monday, June 21, 2021

Light

Light is beyond limitations. 
We only put a limit to ourselves and choose to see darkness in corners. 

When our mind is clear, our heart is open. Life is always a blank sheet of paper, waiting to be written whether in brightness or darkness. 

The choice is in our hands. 

Sunday, June 20, 2021

Time

Everything is adjustable including time. 

When a person is out of time, it simply means the person needs to learn time management. When something is important enough, the person will make time for. 

Time once past is irreplaceable. 

Leave the past as is, live in the present, and move forward. 

Learn from the past, live in the moment, and work toward the future. 

Saturday, June 19, 2021

Life

Life is always associated with new life. 
It is best represented by new leaves propping out of the bare ground or a dry trunk. With the slightest possibility of renewal, always come surprises. 

Never say never. 

The possibility is always waiting for the chance to show itself. 

Friday, June 18, 2021

Better

Today is always better than yesterday. 
Tomorrow is always better than today. 

Everyday is a better day. It is what we choose to see that brings happiness. 

Thursday, June 17, 2021

Cool

The weather is cool. Everyone is happy. 

Somehow the dream was clear but when awake, the dream fades. 

How? How to remember dreams? 

Wednesday, June 16, 2021

Be

Just a short and simple word. 

Be lovely. 
Be inspired. 
Be yourself. 

Tuesday, June 15, 2021

Dream

What is it? 

Sometimes, we do dream. 
Sometimes, we don't. 

Perhaps a dream is the answer to the many questions we have during the day. 
Perhaps a dream is the sneak peak of a little bit of the future in our lives. 
Perhaps a dream is the clue to solve the mysteries. 

Whatever it is, perhaps a dream means good and it is up to us to decipher the clues it leaves for us.

Feeling

Feeling comes from the heart. 

When it feels good, everything comes around easy as if the universe works for us. 
When it feels awkward, everything seems to worry us as if the uncertainty works up in our nerves. 

Listen to your feelings. 

Sunday, June 13, 2021

Worry

Worry comes with a set of events that trigger the emotion. 

Sometimes it feels like the right thing to do is to wait on it, not because of ignorance, but to really stay calm to see the bigger plan. 
Sometimes it feels like the right thing to do is to act on it, not because of panic, but to really be responsible in whatever that comes our way. 

Whichever way we choose leads us to a path that is suitable for us. It is only in our mind, whether or not we are up to the challenge. 

With every problem, grows a stronger human.

Life

Life is all about being together with loved ones. 

Life is SIMPLE. 

Friday, June 11, 2021

Rest

Drama happens because life happens. 

Tomorrow is the weekends, probably the best time to just take a break and rest.  

Thursday, June 10, 2021

Sense

Having a sense on something is a gift. Embrace what we have and build on it. Become who we are and be grateful of it. 

Wednesday, June 9, 2021

Time

Time can proof whether or not something is possible. 

When there is little time to spare, time can be the essence. 
When there is plenty of time for use, time can be a luxury. 

Tuesday, June 8, 2021

Discover

If you try, you will know. 

This is a concept. 
This is also the truth.  

Most importantly, think of alternatives and work on it until we are sure of it. Before that, never jump into conclusions. 

Monday, June 7, 2021

Effects

There is always a cause and effect. Very often we feel the effects without knowing the cause. 

LISTEN. 
Be silent! 
The only right thing to do is to listen to our own body. 

The little voices within often know when something is out of place. Ignorance is the cause of all unwanted effects on ourselves. 

Sunday, June 6, 2021

Forget

Forget is the new BEST word I have learnt lately. 

Being forgetful can be a hassle. 
Staying forgetful becomes a problem. 
Deliberately forgetting temporarily is the KEY to learning new things. 

Stop procrastinations. START learning. 

Saturday, June 5, 2021

Dream

Having a dream can be good or bad or even a bit of both. Sometimes, it does not even make sense. 

Making a dream is different. 
Making a dream with clarity makes the difference. 

Life is about making wonderful dreams come true.

Arigato

This is not a new word at all. Some may not have heard of this word but the meaning is known world-wide.

These are only some of the languages that can merely describe it. 
The word itself is not important. 
The meaning behind it brings a whole new picture in our everyday lives. 

Arigato to me. 
Arigato to you. 
Arigato to everybody. 
Say it, feel it, mean it.

Chaos

Every child has been taught that CHAOS means bad, disturbed, and is not desired. Is it really so? 

Perhaps it is chaotic around the world now that the pandemic is still here. Perhaps COVID-19 is still here to stay. 

Sometimes, it is just a perception. 

Perhaps what we decipher as chaos needs to happen to form order. 
Perhaps Mother Nature is teaching her children the meaning of LOVE. 
Perhaps with a disaster comes tranquility. 

Some of us are free to roam. 
Some of us are locked down. 
Wherever we may be, the safest haven is always home. 

Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Never

So very often we like to brainwash ourselves: 

This can never happen. 
That can never be achieved. 
I can never do this. 
You can never improve. 

It really makes me wonder why some people can be so positive and yet others can be the total opposite. Perhaps this is called the perfect imperfection. 

Everyone is different. 
We only need to be better than ourselves every single day. 

Tuesday, June 1, 2021

Missing

Missing a day or two seemed unlikely at the very beginning. Somehow, sometimes in some ways, things may turn out to be a topsy-turvy in all directions. I am not even sure what is meant by that. Haha... 

Life is not about how serious everything is or can be. 
Live life with QUALITY.
