My Motto for this coming year

Turning 20 certainly is exciting, joyful and NICE. (I guess)

The idea of being an adult taking real REPSONSIBILITY of everything that is happening in my life proves to be harder than I thought for your ego is always on the way making excuses.


Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.

Dan Millman- The Way of Peaceful Warrior



My guilding principles for this coming year stating from this second are:

Focus living in the now moment! Offer my fullest attention to it with no judgments.


Taking Risks regularly! Because the greatest failure in life is to risk NOTHING.


Be Happy without any Reasons, for this is the only way to be truly happy.

With these principles in mind, I am WILLING to live every second of my life according to them.

The ‘Worldly Race’ vs. our internal Reality

Has your mum ever ‘complained’ to you that someone is doing quite well these days, you know, she/he is earning seven figures salary, own their own production company…etc?


I am sure we all go through the phrases of constant comparing and competitions during certain stages of our lives. All these external pressures from parents and society expectations can be argued to motivate us to strive forwards to achieve ‘better’ and ‘grander’ things.

But my question is that Is this the way to go? To strive to come first in this ‘worldly race’?


Are those who appear to be so successful externally winning the race or will they get tired, frustrated and lost before the race finishes? I don’t know.


I guess what I am trying to highlight here is that the struggle and frustration that comes in a package deal when we constantly chasing after the illusive notion of security to fulfill our wants.


Rather than going through the fire of initiation, gradually transforming and fine-tuning ourselves from metal to gold, those who focus on achieving externally tend to put gold glitter on themselves to cover up their problems that are desperately waiting to be addressed.


I work as a part time tele-interviewer for a market research company. I wouldn’t say I have a good voice but I tend to end up conducting the most interviews at the end of each shift EFFORTLESSLY as opposed to people who TRY to get more interviews done by dialing more numbers.


I think all it comes down to is ALIGNMENT: It is all about BEING, coming from a place where you are totally natural, joyful and offering values (love, gratitude and appreciation) to others.

When we surrender ourselves to reality, knowing that it is through going through the fire of initiation, learning from those experiences and lessons, only through that can we truly transform ourselves from medal to gold.
Once it is done, your inner qualities will shine through effortlessly and everything else will come together in perfection.

Self-Improvement vs Accepting the way we are

It’s funny how the 21st century is filled with products which are labeled as ‘personal growth’ and ‘deep personal identity change’ …etc The question is do we really need these products?

The truth is that while we all busy looking for the perfect product/ magic pill which can transform our lives in every areas instantly. We seem to forget one thing: that is to accept fully who we really are.

Accepting fully the way we are is definitely not doing nothing and watching heroes or prison break all day. The mindset behind self-improvement is important. When you come from a place where you fully accepting the way you are and therefore aligning yourself with the universe, you will set up situations for yourself to grow and learn from those experiences.

The key is to remember that everything that happens to you up till now is PERFECT and those are the experiences you need to learn from.

Start by fully accepting yourself the way you are, right now!!! Before you start a new day, empty your mind and thoughts and tell yourself that I now fully accept the way I am. Notice how empowering this feels for you are no longer tangled by what others and your ‘ego’ thinks of you.

You see being authentic is to accept everything that you are. The good and bad, the loving and unloving and by embracing those ambiguities within yourself, you become grounded in your own truth.

First Post

I have decided to start up a blog just sharing thoughts and personal journey for those who are interested in or already committed to living consciously. Make no mistake, I just started embarking on the journey of living consciously: living in the NOW moment and completely surrender to reality.

With this in mind, I am sure that every step that I take will lead me closer to the truth.

I was listening to Marianne Williamson's 'A Course in Miracle'today. Marianne conveys a couple of absolutely beautiful spiritual messages.

1. The work of religion is to go within us to go explore our own values.

2. Expect the best of people. PRAY for those who you have problems dealing with. Remember these people in whatever ways who are not manifesting love are not because they are bad but wounded. Find the love and acceptance within you to pray and bless for the people.

3. The power of our mind to bless people is far greater than the power of money, science and technology. The power to destroy is nothing compared to the power to create.

4. Deeper level of spirituality: letting God to be your pilot, being little children relaxing in the arms of the parents. Trusting God that he/she is the way. When we try to take control (that is to resist reality), we are interfering with God's plan.

5. The Ego mind speaks first and speaks the loudest.

6. The consumer culture constantly tells us that we are not good enough. The fact is that we are ENOUGH. We truly are.

Empty your mind everyday. Don't let your attitude and emotions take charge for judgments and labelling will appear.

The spiritual journey is to unlearn, letting God come into our mind and following your heart- your higher self.

I am doing an experiment at the moment:
Wishing everyone that I come across with true happiness and joy.

Interesting what this experiment will bring
