Communication

Do you know why you have 2 ears?

This is so that we would listen twice as much as we talk,

as a fool delights in airing his own opinions.

You cant love what you dont know

You cant be truly loved if you are not truly known

The only way to know or to be known by others is to communicate -

openly, honestly, sincerely and humbly

Only when we humble ourselves, can we see God's grace transforming us

My phone is full of surprises

My wonderful LG phone has died on me. Yup it showed signs of failing, the display was blinking, flipped itself the other way round. However I can still answer calls, just that i have no idea who is calling. So that would be goodbye to my mobile and hello to a spare phone for the moment.

Wisdom

Wisdom is the art of living skillfully in whatever actual conditions we find ourselves

Patience is an expression of trust in God

Faith is when you say "I dont understand, but I thank God"

The Writer's Block

Am thinking of blogging about something, but am having the writter's block. Its when you have so much in you, but no idea how to pen it down or get it flowing.

I think in life, there are a few major bases that we need to cover, liken baseball. The first base is Religion, second base is family, third base is career and fourth base is relationship.

Why is religion the first base? Simply because, when all else fails, God wont fail. He is your stronghold and your life is centred around it. I'm not trying to say I'm a staunch Christian, but I try to cover my base.

Second base is family, family is where we grow up in, family is where we are molded, family gives us our sense of belonging. Even a nation is build on a family nucleus. Family is very important to me, I try to spend more time with my family and I just love having family lunches. Even the simplest grocery shopping with my mum can bring a smile to my face :)

Third base is career, here is where we climb up the corporate ladder. Good thing for ladies , we can always take the easy way out and be a housewife. Haha. Career is where we earn our bread and butter and give back to our first and second base

Forth base is relationship, be it friends or significant other half. Friends are those who laugh with you when you are silly, hear you cry over the phone and give you the occassional surprises. Significant other half is the one that you would settle down with and build your own family. The other half may not be the perfect person but is someone whom you can live without. You can never search for that person, that person just come into your life when you least expect it. Thats the beauty of it all.

Happy Birthday Singapore!

Fave things

Sometimes the simplest things in life makes you happy. One of such simple things that make my day would be a wonderful breakfast. I feel so "xing fu" when i wake up in the morning to a wonderful breakfast. It may not be spectacular food but just the setting would make a difference. It may be the simplest food, but the company makes it wonderful.

I'm looking forward to my wonderful breakfast this tuesday.... hope it comes true :)

The law of attraction

Ever heard of the law of attraction? I have recently read a book "The Secret" and it revolves round the law of attraction.
In lay man's term, the law of attraction means that you would attract things/people that you are thinking of.

From Wikipedia:
The Law of Attraction claims to have roots in Quantum Physics, although this is dismissed by the scientific community as pseudoscience. According to proponents of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of. In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things:

1.Know exactly what you want.
2.Ask the universe for it.
3.Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is already yours (visualize).
4.Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.

Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the universe will manifest a person's desires.

So basically by creating your own reality and by focusing on it, you would get it in the end (dont ask how, it just happens). Isnt that amazing!! We can all just create a belive that we are millionaires, focus all our energy on it and "tada" you are rich!! Yup I am definately exaggerating it, but as you can see I'm rather skeptical about such an idea. However, I must say that such a belief does help one to be more positive and work towards what they want. Its hard to justify such a theory and weigh the results based on pure thoughts or thru own hard work.

I guess if this law does help you, go ahead and create your own reality and focus on it.

My take is pretty straightforward.. know what you want and take steps to work towards it, doesnt matter if there is any attraction or not, you are taking positive steps towards your own goal and that is what matters.
