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? 

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. 

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? 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

Cool

The weather is cool. Everyone is happy. 

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

How? How to remember dreams? 

Be

Just a short and simple word. 

Be lovely. 

Be inspired. 

Be yourself. 

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. 

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. 

Rest

Drama happens because life happens. 

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

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
