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.

Whatever we have been led to believe, is it the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Technology is advancing faster than what we anticipated several decades ago. With such advancement, we are able to seek deeper into ourselves. What we believe in? What happened to us in the past?

We are so stuck with the beliefs that we are the only civilization on earth. We are so stuck with the history and science that we learnt from school that the first lifeforms are single cells and that we all developed from them. We believe deeply that we evolved from the ape family. There had been a circulation of a discovery that we are somehow also related to bananas because humans and bananas have very similar DNA.

This made me wonder vastly beyond my usual line of thought.

What if there was a mistake in their discovery? Is it possible that it was just coincidental? Could it have been a sabotage? May be someone did that addition of a certain DNA on purpose or there is an unintended cross-contamination? Perhaps my questions are common for the normal people. But as a person who had studied science and worked in laboratory environments before, such mistakes are out of scope. Scientists would have done multiple studies over and over before confirming the result as true. So my questions would seem like ridiculous.

Then comes more questions.

What have we been learning throughout the years? Why are the textbooks still the same as it is without the addition of the latest information and discoveries? How is it that whatever we have learnt in several decades ago is still what our children are learning to this date and time? What we learnt in school in the past is obviously outdated today. But somehow, our children are still learning almost the same things, if not the same at all. Time changes. We should advance too.

Education is important to the future of our world but education should not be limited to everything that is written in text books. Education is about exploration. Children are natural explorers. It is us, adults that have limited them and their beliefs that we are not alone. The universe is vast. We cannot be alone. There must be other lifeforms out there. People who have clarity of mind will be able to connect with the extra-terrestrials compared to people who only believe in what the eyes can see.

If whatever questions we have in the back of our minds true, then why are the mainstream media not talking about it? Why are people with such special qualities not advertised? Somehow, deep believers of the truth are sometimes labelled psychopaths. Just because they are different. Just because they have the gift. They are the special handful of people who are enlightened. They can see what we cannot. They can travel to places that we cannot. How are they different from us, the majority?

It is our limiting beliefs.

Through this date, scientists still cannot explain properly as to how the pyramids were built. Whatever theories that they have come up with, it only made sense to some people, not all. If technology this day cannot even build such a perfectly geometric pyramid with stones so large, how did our ancestors ever built such massive structures? If you think the pyramid is a wonder all by itself, think again. There are many other historical sites in discovery or are still undiscovered till this date.

Atlantis. Some people imagined it was an underwater civilization. Some people believed that it was once above sea level that got flooded somehow. There are so many questions about this historical site still left unanswered. It will be decades or even centuries more before the numerous questions can be answered. It is because the entire civilization is submerged in deep waters, excavation activities for new discoveries is complicated. We will probably not be able to get any answers in our lifetime.

Lifeforms are a wonder, there is no doubt about that. As human race, can we set aside our differences and seek what we need to learn from our ancestors? There is much to learn what we do not know. Why are we hiding in our comfort shells and believing what others are telling us? Can we unite as one?

Find what is missing and the answers will be clear.

 

I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.

Rewire

Sometimes hearing about the extraordinary can be overwhelming.

We are all common people living the world full of variety. It is rather easy to believe in whatever everyone else around us believes in because it seems like the right thing to do. If everyone is believing it is true, that means it cannot be false. This is how the human race is controlled by the few who knows how to tap into the human mind. They know our patterns.

Why do we face a crisis at fixed intervals?

If you look back into the history and observe the patterns, you will realize that every crisis that happens have similar intervals. Not many people actually study the past as we are all busy living and thinking about the future. But the past is really something that makes us in the first place.

History may be a boring subject. I never liked history in my younger years. Perhaps it is the limited amount of information and the need to memorize all the details for examinations that put me off of this very interesting subject.

History has a lot of information that is vital for our understanding of the future. The truth about history is not what we read from literatures but about where all the wonders of the world really do come from. Some people who chooses to believe in literatures are bound to the limited resources that people in power choose for us to see. It is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

We are all individuals. There is no one to blame for us not being able to see beyond what we have been made to believe. If we choose to believe in our instincts, nobody can stop us. However, most of us simply choose to be normal, to believe in whatever everyone else believes in. We choose to take the easy way out instead of exploring deep within.

Very few people are living in openness. Only these very few people are able to connect with higher energy sources to experience what none of us can. They are able to tell in detail the true events of the past, present, and future. They are just a handful but they are definitely a precious handful. Some of them have been labeled as psychic or even worse, psychopaths.

If your child is telling you of things beyond your imagination, perhaps it is a wakeup call to you and the entire family. Children are pure souls. They are born with all the complete senses in order to survive. It is the conditioning from the adults that keeps a child’s mind fixed and limited. Give them space. Let them have their imagination run wild. They are special. Perhaps it is time to seek for the higher truth. Do your research. Find out the truth before telling your child to shut down and shut up.

Historians and scientist are noble people. They only have one thing in mind that is to seek the truth and tell the people around the world about it. They may have given hypothesis that are inaccurate but it is not their fault. Perhaps the knowledge and technology to seek knowledge at that point of time limits their capability to progress further. Perhaps they have told the truth but somehow along the way the truth has been twisted by those in power to control everyone else. We can only guess.

But the truth does not lie. Evidence can be destroyed.

Scientists from around the world have been collecting samples from the world’s most untouched places. They were able to date all important events over hundreds of thousands of years ago. There is a pattern to all major events. Everything is connected. This entire universe is connected, whether we believe it or not. There is no doubt about it. A small gravitational change may have a vast impact on our emotions. And thus, affecting the outcome of every event happening around the world, big or small. We need to understand what is lost in order to know how to make a mends.

Find the connection. Rewire yourself. Seek no further, enlightenment comes from within.

 

In the beginning, it takes focus, effort, and more energy in your brain, but after you make the swing or say hello enough times, it becomes effortless. Thus, to rewire your brain you’ll have to stay with the new behavior long enough to make it become fairly automatic. In time, practice will make it effortless. Your brain won’t have to work as hard once you reach this level.

Organize

What do you have in mind today?

Most people will think of the things that needs to be done today. But have you forgotten about the things that are still undone from yesterday? There are so many things each person have to handle every single day. How do people get by and still have time for fun?

Are you a person who has to scramble through things every single day just to finish a task? How much time do you need to find something you need? How does your desk look like? How anyone lives through their daily lives really depends very much on the person and has got nothing to do with the aesthetics of what our eyes can see.

Some people live great in a total mess. These are called the creative bunch. We may see papers everywhere, totally disorganized and we get a headache but for them, this is their way to higher understanding. If one day, you cleared up their desk, they would have a hard time looking for that one thing that they need at that very moment. If left in a mess, it would just take them seconds. If all organized up, it would probably take them hours if not days, and in some cases, they may not even be able to locate it in their entire lifetime.

Some people need space for clarity. If things are in a mess, they cannot function at all. They need everything to be organized. You will see that their desk is often empty you really wonder how anything can get done. Where are the notes? Where are the “to do” lists? Where are the plans? Everything is just not there for anyone to look for. If someone puts something on their desk, they would be freaked and they immediately want it off. So, they get on is in the speed of light and then leave their desk empty again. There would probably be files upon files elsewhere as long as the desk is empty.

Most people are a little bit of both. You are probably the messy person when you are busy and the tidy person when you have a little time to get organized.

It is perhaps the greatest feeling of all to get things lifted off your shoulders. It makes you feel light. How you want to do it depends on the task itself and how you actually organize its route to finishing. Sometimes, drastic measures are necessary.

Humans are social animals. We need to live amongst other people and get things done together. Even if you are an introvert, there is no avoiding human contact. Even if we are all in a lockdown, there is no avoiding communication between each other. Everything needs to be planned out strategically in order for anything to work out the way it should. Time will tell that if we work together as a team, we are stronger.

A team means there is a leader. The leader is responsible to get things organized and moving. A great leader will plan small tasks for each member of the group. A great leader knows who is best at each task. A great leader gives opportunities. A great leader encourages brain storming. A great leader builds paths for exploration and enhancement. It is all about how well the person can deal with situations in a strategic way.

You may have thoughts that the current situation do not permit any organization because it is ad-hoc and of high urgency that needs to be done this very second. Sometimes, you just need to jump into action before even having the time to think. This happens all the time in stocks and business where decisions a second later can mean a total disaster. It is okay during that urgent time. Have you ever thought what needs to be done afterwards? Most people forget this. Post-mortem. When you have been stripped off your rights to think then, you think afterwards. Can it be done better? Is there another path to take? How to tackle such situations in future? These are all very important information for the entire team so that when you are not there to guide them through, they can function as they should.

Think the way successful people do. Organize your thoughts to help others help you.

 

Once you have a clear idea of your priorities – that is your values, goals and high leverage activities, organize around them.

Reflection

Who am I?

Some people are born with the gift of knowing who they really are, who they want to become, and they have the chance to make their dreams come true. These are probably the lucky few.

Most people, however, either do not know who they really are, or who they want to become, or they do know but they are just not born in the right condition to let them shine. Whatever the reason is we choose to give ourselves, if we dig deep enough, it is usually our emotions that is taking over our mind and controlling over our life.

Have you ever wanted something so bad you are willing to give up anything and everything to get it? As adults, we would probably smile and say that only a child would be as foolish as to throwaway everything he already has in order to pursue something that is uncertain in all ways. Perhaps we would end up living a hell throughout the remaining years in our lives. Perhaps we would succeed and become a notable person in history. People are often bogged down by fear of losing it all.

As a child, you have probably had dreams far beyond imagination. You want to become an astronaut to go see the moon and stars up close. You would probably have built space ships with empty bottles and put a cape on your back to pretend that you can fly to infinity. These are beautiful times when there is nothing to worry about in life. You probably have peers having the same thinking as you do. You form discussion groups and work on projects to make your dreams a reality. You are creative.

What happened to the child in you? What happened to your fearless self?

Over the years, while growing up, you probably have encountered elders telling you of things you should leave behind. Back then, your dreams are important. Somehow, along the way, you need to come back to reality. Your dreams are a total setback and you have kept them locked in the deepest part of you, in a chest with such a huge bolt, it is impossible to unlock it anymore.

You become who you should be. You go to school. You get good results in examinations. You come out to society and you start to work your way up the corporate ladder. You excel in your job. You get promotions all the way up. You find your life partner. You get married and have children of your own. You have a mortgage to pay up. You have your children to bring up. But your dreams have been buried, so deep you can no longer uncover it.

Now your children have all grown to become adults. You are already in your golden years. Your children have children of their own. They are walking your footsteps, to become the person they adore most, you. Perhaps they are living the life of their dreams, perhaps not. Somehow, it does not seem important to have a dream after all. You have your grandchildren to love and show you love. You should be fulfilled.

As age catches up, health declines. You are not in the hospital bed. You have all the time to flash back in your younger days. You talk about those days a lot. You suddenly realize that there is something missing. Despite the happy and smooth life that you have had, there is still a void within. What is that? Why are you feeling emptiness inside when you already have what others say as a complete life?

It is your dreams.

You have been living the perfect life in the eyes of everyone but you are not living the life of your own. You look in the mirror, you see your face but you do not see the truth inside of you.
You look in the mirror, you see your body but you do not see the life you lead.
You look in the mirror, you see everything down to the acne but you cannot see through your soul.
You are you, nobody can change that. Have you been true to yourself? Or are you just merely being someone you are not?

Who is the person you see in the reflection?
Who is the person you really are?

 

Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?

Implement

How many times have you made a promise to yourself to start something but somehow, it almost always end up in vain?

How many courses have you signed up but end up finding out that it is totally not suited to you lifestyle?

How many of the gurus have you followed thinking that you will take action according to what they say and dream about success but end up never having anything done in the end?

What is it that is holding you back?
When are you going to implement what you have learnt?
Why are you stuck at where you are now?

There is always an answer to a question. You do not see it? Perhaps you have not been looking far enough to reach a point whereby the answer comes naturally. Sometimes, the answer is just in plain sight but you have been so drowned in information that you get lost in them.

Information is vast. You can find whatever information you want on the internet.
How is it that some people are reaching their goals but you are not?
How is it that they make it look so simple?
How can you achieve the success that they have?

Perhaps you should first ask yourself these questions.
Are you ready to take that first step?
Are you ready to make that change?
Are you ready to challenge yourself?
How willing are you to sacrifice in the name of success?
What are you willing to sacrifice for the dream that you are chasing?

Many people are motivated the moment they see success in other people. They are always thinking that “I can do better than that!” Is it really so?
Then why are you not better already?
Then why are you not in the person’s shoes?
Then why are you not someone other people look up to?

It does not matter what industry we are in. It only matters the way we look at our lives. We can be as successful as we want. It really depends on how we look at things and how we go about dealing with situations that arise from day to day.

This world is ever changing. Somehow, majority of human beings are content to their lives. Once they have reached a certain status, they become fearful. They let fear take over their lives.
Fearful of losing that wealth they have built over the years.
Fearful of losing that health they have managed to keep over the years.
Fearful of losing that relationship they have painstakingly made possible over the years.

While fear is unavoidable, why not make fear the motivation to move forward? Whether or not we like it, there will come to a point where we have to make the decision to step out of our comfort zone.

If you are saying tomorrow, then you will always be saying tomorrow, and nothing will happen to your life. You will be stagnant where you are, always looking up on the people that you dream of becoming. You will never be able to uncover the best of yourself.

On the other hand, if you take this powerful fearful feeling and turn it into a stepping stone, you will definitely find that breaking point. Always think of a positive approach to all the challenges in life. Perhaps you say that every single time change occurs, your temper shoots up rocket high. It is fine. You are just being human. You will probably blow up that very moment you discover the problem but you can calm yourself down quicker each time you encounter such situations.

Even the hottest pot of stew can be cooled down in the refrigerator. You only need to find that point in life when you are the happiest and bring your temper toward it to cool yourself down. The more you practice, the better you become at it.

It is all about implementation.

Anyone can learn anything. It is what we do that really make the difference. No two person are the same. We can never be. No matter how well we try to duplicate the actions of others, the reaction will always be different. This is what makes us unique.

Implement what has been learnt. Make the difference you have always yearned.

 

Create your environment from your best innate tenacity.
Always embrace the abundance of an inspirational mentality.
Eliminate distractions, clutter, and work from a place of brightness.
Create a winning, uplifting, vibrant, courageous action to implement!

Creative

Creativity starts from within.

We are all born to be creative one way or the other. Perhaps in our eyes other people are almost always more creative than we are. Being creative also means to have a sense of confidence. When we are confident, our minds work better. When we are confident, we know we can make a difference.

There is no limitation to the type of creativity one has.

We live in a world full of barriers. There are barriers between countries and also within each country. These barriers have been formed to differentiate between the right and wrong, the rich and poor. It is called the law.

Humans have created law to keep order. Whilst this may be the way we are educated, to think that law is good for us, it also keeps us in a box, limiting our thoughts. Everything we do, we have to first look at the law, whether or not we are abiding by the law. Otherwise, we would probably end up in trouble for doing things against the law. This is just the way common people think.

Successful people think differently. While we have the perception that they can do whatever they want because they have a whole table of lawyers to back them up, we have forgotten that they were also once like us, nobody. Being successful is not about inheriting riches and power, it is all about building trust from scratch. This is the reason why we should never envy rich people we see. Instead, model them. Line our path creatively to reach the status we yearn for.

Money is just a tool. Some people tend to think that money is the master of all evils and they wonder why they are always living on the brink. We have made ourselves believe in our own limitations. Just because the rich people that we meet have poor attitude, that does not mean all rich people are the same. We are all individuals. People can be as kind or nasty as can be, whether or not they are multimillionaires. There is no price tag in kindness.

Perhaps if we think creatively, we will begin to understand that we should love money. Money can buy many things, even power. If we want to make a change, if we want to make a better world, we need to have money. The world that we currently live in is built on money. We cannot deny that. Everyone knows it for a fact. We either depend on public funding or we build a business to make the money to refurbish this place we call home. Either way, we need money.

We are all dwellers on earth. Each day will pass whether we like it or not and with each passing day, we grow a little older. But there is no limitation to what our mind is. As we age, we become wiser too. There is no limitation to what we can do. We are all born equal. It is up to us to open up our minds, to be creative about life.

We love preset. Our parents and teachers have told us that we have to do certain things at a certain age in a certain way. Our minds have been conditioned to believe so since the day we are born. We live through each day observing the people around us. We learn from what they do and we believe that everything we see is true. This is the reason why we are who we are now. No difference from the lives they have had.

The internet has grown fast and vast over the years. We have the ability to search. We have the awareness of technology. We have the knowledge that is held in our hands. We can choose to do exactly what others do, or we can be different. Successful people think creatively, never are they limited to what others say or do. They have their own mindset, which is something we should model upon. They are never satisfied with what is placed in front of them. They like to think otherwise, and take up the challenge of being different. Every roadblock they face, they see it as a stepping stone to nudge up higher.

We mould our own life. Be creative to succeed.

 

To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.
