Simple is beautiful.

It's in the simplest of things that make life worthwhile.

Under the shade of the tree ...
Rollerblading with kids you just met ...
Having a sinful delish dessert while the rain knocks over your roof.

Simple yet amazingly beautiful. Life ain't so bad after all.

You have to be in charge of your time - how you spend it, even so how you waste it.  Seriously, life trickles away softly but swiftly.

Let no one take this right from you.  It's your time we're talking about.
Your limited time in this finite world.

Going Beyond Yourself

Real growth.
Authentic satisfaction.
Genuine happiness.


They all stem from outside of oneself.

When you're trying to fill in that void...go beyond yourself and there you'll find the missing piece.

Expect more from yourself than from others.

Expectations from oneself is more inspiring and liberating.

Wait a minute ...

... Don't confuse having a career with having a life.

January 22, 2012 - Get the best out of You.

There is only one you for all time. Fearlessly be yourself.

We all have our days.
Good ones. Under the weather types.  Crazy schedules.  Idle moments.
Inspired days.  Lazy weeks.


These are all normal.


Get to know yourself more.  Listen to what your soul seeks and heed that call.


Don't force yourself unto something when you're not in the zone.
Timing is everything, so make the best out of yourself when that energy is available.

January 21, 2012 - We only pass this way once.

Life is very precious.

Cherish moments spent with a loved one as it is more valuable than wealth or fame. 


Jobs change, people move away and, sometimes you lose touch. 
But in this life, some people leave an imprint on you that time doesn't erase.


We only pass this life once.


We only have this life to live.






And we are not alone.  We do not live just for ourselves.


Live AND Love.  Make every moment count. 


  

January 11, 2012 - Crystal Clear

Before it was frightening.
Before it even felt cowardly.
And before, I thought, 'big mistake'!

Only time will make things crystal clear.

Now I know I'm making a right move.
Now I fully understand.
Now I know better.

Now I have to act.  A privilege I must not waste, else, a chance to change my life is gone.

January 8, 2012 - Rain, Rain...Don't Go Away.

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love.
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy ways I feel inside.

Would you dance with me when the rain falls? 

January 7, 2012 - Life. You are the Miracle.

Sometimes I wonder, why does it seem as if our lives are just so dispensable...so easy to take away.
The news floods me with people killing each other; teens committing suicide; songs and music videos showcasing how to cut short our lives.

Where is the value for life?

What happened?

It's troubling me. Nine agonizing yet undeniably precious months inside the womb of a mother and just to succumb to the violence of the world?

Each and everyone of us is a miracle.  An unexplainable work of art of God.
Our creation, despite the numerous efforts of the greatest people in the sciences, still remains to be a mystery.

Never let go of life.  There is a purpose of our existence.  Far beyond our comprehension.
You are a miracle.  Breathe through it.  Live and be thankful.

January 6, 2012 - And You become Face to Face with the Truth

The Truth now faces me.

It sinks in.

And it hurts.

Acceptance is just waiting across the corner.

Time says, 'it's gonna be alright'.

January 5, 2012 - It all Starts from Within

I believe that it is essential to appreciate our potential as human beings and recognize the importance of inner transformation. - Dalai Lama

Peace. Happiness. Contentment.  They're all inside you.  Waiting to be felt and awakened.

If we only realize how beautiful we are as is, and acknowledge the blessings of life everyday, perhaps

the hatred and frustrations will slowly fade away.  They will soon be futile in our minds.

Yes. It may be easier said than done.  But I believe it's worth the try.  It's worth the energy.

We have to have faith in ourselves.  That by thinking that our lives will be better, it will then be.

I am personally struggling over what is the right direction.  There are so many directions - but the uncertainty is overwhelming.  I have to silence my doubting thoughts, my inner hostility.

The only place to start improving the life that I am in now, is inside me.  My mind. My heart.

I am capable of self-renewal.

It's time.  This is my year. 

January 4, 2012 - Bound by Time

"Living men are bound by time.  Thus, their lives have an urgency.  This gives them ambition.  Makes them choose those things that are important; cling more tightly to that which they hold dear.  Their lives have seasons, and rites of passage, and consequences.  And ultimately, an end." - Abraham Lincoln

January 3, 2012 - First impressions do last.

First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man's look is the work of years; it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.

In the course of my work, I always believe that first impressions do last.
It, unfortunately, brands you - as a person, as a colleague, as a potential business partner.

This inevitable stance should not bother one, but should be kept in mind at all times.
It will take a certain level of maturity and understanding to overcome these curtains.
They are, after all, just windows to your souls.

January 2, 2012 - The Surge of Positivity

Love the moment, and the energy of that moment                                                          will spread beyond all boundaries.

Second day of the new year and I'm sick.

But this does not really bother me.

There's something about the energy of this new year that somehow drives me to go out and recover soon.

Everyone's high spirits are surging...contagious actually.

I hope that this fire will not be extinguished soon.

This is exactly what we all need.

Light up your fire. Enjoy the moment. And you'll then experience magic.

January 1, 2012 - Hope. Keep it.

Never let go of hope.

One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that'?

A Blessed and Prosperous 2012 to everyone.
