Reawakening the Power of You!We all want our lives to be more exciting and fulfilling. But only a few of us ever dare to follow our hearts, chase our dreams and embrace life with passion.

Life is all about change. There is a constant ebb and flow to life, much like the tides and the changing moon so are we. It is easy to forget all the changes as they happen when we view them as positive. We accept them whole heartedly and move on to the next excitedly. Doing our own thing is risky. We don’t want to risk failure - or worse, look silly. But, look around. The happiest people are those living their passion despite difficulties or fears. What kind of barrier or excuses do we use to keep ourselves from the life we really want to live? From what fears are we trying to save ourselves?

So many people have worked hard to make their dreams come true. They may have had to do a drastic thing like sell their house so they could travel the world. Some may have had to cut some of their spending drastically in order to quit their hated job and start their own business.

Passion is the energy, the enthusiasm, is the juice behind any dream.Imagine living the life we have always dreamed about - the career, the relationships, writing the book we have been putting off or adding fun and excitement back into our life. Remember we do not get what we want in life, we get what we are. In order to get what we want in life, we must first become that person that would have it - our thoughts, feelings and actions have to be in alignment with the good that we desire. Dare to give ourself permission to live the life we have only been dreaming of up to now. Don’t allow past mistakes to shape our destiny or our fears to hold us back. Our time is now! Seize the moment!

The positive changes are much easier to embrace and often easier to take for granted and forget. The ones we view as negative are quite often the ones we focus on and the place we get stuck. Remember whatever we focus on tends to expand. What would it take for us to get going and embrace our life more fully this year? What would it be like if we did?

This is OUR Time! JUST DO IT!It is all about living an awesome life. Lets close our eyes and to imagine ourself there, anything is possible. The chance to really let go and become who we are meant to be...
Let’s take ourself away for an adventure that we deserve- a chance to exhale and release whatever is holding us back from our true potential. This is our time to refresh and find the real champion inside! Learn the power of the mind and the ultimate power of our energy flows where attention goes!

Most people do not realize the importance of a dream. That's why we have a lot of people who are willing to settle for mediocrity and conformity before dreaming and risking failure. This fear based mentality is what keeps people from pursuing their dreams. There two theories that come to mind which was based on my former readings when trying to explain why people would settle for mediocrity and conformity.

The Theory of Carrot vs StickFirst is the theory of the carrot and the stick. People are motivated by one of two forces the act of avoiding pain (the stick) and the pursuit of pleasure (the carrot). This theory also states that most people the avoidance of pain is a stronger force than the pursuit of pleasure. So if faced with a choice they will almost always choose the avoidance of pain. Because sometimes the pursuit of pleasure involves some type of perceived pain, (change, lose of comfort level, etc.)

The Theory of Logic vs Emotion
The second theory is the theory of logic vs. emotion. When the logic and emotion are at odd, people will mostly decide based on emotion. So when we combine these what do we have? If we ask someone, if they wanted to be successful they would more then likely say yes (logical), but actually people don't want success. What they want is actually what the success can give them (the carrot).

But if we ask them why they are not successful, the excuses that we will get will either be based on to remain in they're comfort zone (emotion) and avoiding failure (the stick). If these very same people had a dream, something worthwhile will make them pursuing which then they would not be so quick to accept mediocrity and conformity.

What our dreams do for us.
Our dreams will empower us. When we have a dream, we will feel alive, vibrant full of energy. Dreams will help us to take on the world. Dreams give us courage. The bigger we make our dreams the smaller will be our fears and our adaptation to the obstacles. Dreams make us more receptive to opportunity. Because our subconscious mind filters information that we receive based on what our conscious mind decides is important, when we think about our dream, we open up our perception and reception to resources and opportunities that we never knew existed.

Our dreams will help us persevere. When things don't go our way (and there will be a time when they won't) and we take setbacks in the pursuit of our dreams (and we will). It will be our dream that will provide us with the fuel we need to keep going. Just decide that our dream will be bigger then any obstacle and we can move on. Whatever we can do or dream, we can begin it.

Boldness has genius, magic and power in it.

Dare to Dream Big!!!

Make a difference!Live Your Dream: Discover and Achieve Your Life Purpose

Turn Your Daydreams into Reality

Change is Inevitable, Growth Is Optional!

“We do not get to choose how we are going to die or when.

But we can only decide how we are going to live. NOW ”

Any woman can create something magnificent out of nothing when she has a dream!

I still remember one of my good wise friend (Hatta) saying: A man who nvr hv any Dreams are those person who are not ambitious enough and never have any objective or target in life.

Be the Peak Performer!!!

One of the wonderful by-products of high self-esteem is that you become a "Peak Performer."

Every day you become more aware of your abilities and recognize that opportunities to stretch your capabilities are limitless. You desire change, growth, and challenge, and a healthy self-esteem provides the energy.

Peak performers have more than goals, they have a vision of what their life will mean to themselves and others. Peak performers do not live in the future. Peak performers make sure each step taken in the present keeps them on the road toward their life goal.

Competence is a cause of effective performance, not a synonym for it. A competence can be defined as a particular internal sequence of modality events that characteristically produce a predictable behaviour or outcome.

Mostly, the difference that makes the difference is that peak performers persist in going for their high goals despite these moments of doubt. They manage to keep themselves going despite the internal and external objections to their continuation on the path. They manage to stay committed to their goals even when all the outside evidence (and even some of their inner voices) suggests it would be better for them to just quit.

If you want to be a true peak performer, you'd better prepare for the kind of massive doubt and frustration that would cause 999 out of 1000 people to give up - and justifiably resign from the task.

There are always more reasons not to go ahead. There are always more obstacles to be overcome - the biggest of which are internal barriers to high achievement.

Often it is just fear that defeats more people than any other single thing in the world.

What about the fear that you have taken the wrong path? What about the fear that you might waste a large part of your life building a castle in the sky? What about the fear that you will come up short? These must all be addressed and treated or they will continue to get in the way of your performance. But as important as they are, they are usually nowhere near as powerful as that nagging sense of doubt in your own ability, your own worthiness, and your own goodness. The nagging thought, "I'm not good enough". Or "I'm not good enough yet". The idea that something more is needed to make us be what we need to be. That once we become perfect then we can proceed. So far, I haven't met one person on the peak performance path without some challenges with self-doubt and the need to be perfect.

But for most truly worthwhile goals we need to proceed before we achieve perfection because waiting for perfection before commencing will mean we stay permanently inactive.

Fire up your motivation for superior results
We all strive to be good at something, because this leads to power... or love... or money... or recognition... or acceptance... or parental success... or career success... or relationship success... or health... or success in competitive games... or avoidance of hardships... or recreational fun... or avoidance of unpleasantness... or your personal legacy. Right?!

For peak performance – even if it is for something as seemingly mundane as exercising every morning – you begin with motivation. And that’s where we begin with the new Peak Performance Paraliminal.





Peak Performers Can Say:

1. I am motivated and have a mission with realistic and measurable goals.
2. I accept complete responsibility for everything I think, say, feel, and do.
3. I look for the window of opportunity in every situation and know that I will learn from every experience if I choose.
4. I always help others to do their best, and I encourage everyone to contribute something.
5. I correct my course when I reach an obstacle. This way, when things go wrong, I am still headed in the right direction.
6. I expect and appreciate change. It does not overwhelm me because I am prepared.
7. I stand up for my own opinions and values and respect others.
8. I am able to manage myself. I do not require instruction every step of the way.
9. I am not afraid of making mistakes or of taking reasonable risks.
10. I am my own coach. I engage in positive self-talk and rehearsal.
11. I am a life-long student. I am always ready to learn, and I know growth takes sustained effort.
12. I know myself well and still expect to find hidden talents, resources, strengths, weaknesses, energy, and interests.
13. I respect reality both pleasant and painful.
14. I engage in self-confrontation and do not blame others.
15. I readily forgive others and myself and correct mistakes when possible.
16. I am patient, kind, gentle, and compassionate with myself.
17. I have no need to prove I am better or worse than anybody else.

Support Systems for Peak Performance
The road to greatness is not a path one takes alone. Navigation requires the assistance of what is called a support system—a small group of very special people, in some cases just one person, who helps you stay the course during times when you have trouble doing it for yourself.
Sometimes is appears as if a champion is doing it all him or herself. I have yet to hear of a performer for which this was entirely the case. Somewhere along the way there is an aunt, a coach, a church representative, the memory of a lost friend, that fulfills this need. Many times these people go unnoticed—often they seek to avoid attention for their contribution, nor do they want it. That’s part of what makes them a true support system. Their interest and heart is in helping their loved ones push themselves to be the very best they can be.
It’s not really difficult to understand the concept behind support systems. The difficulty lies in separating a real support system from a host of people whose primary interest is safety and comfort. With good intentions and genuine care, the latter are easily mistaken for supporters. They are quick to lend a shoulder for crying; they welcome your frustration with open arms. False supporters are all ears when you want to complain about competition, obstacles, hardships, or just how unfair a shake it was that you received. But moments of discouragement, failure—and even moments of success—are often the times when you most need another person’s help getting back to a peak performance mindset. Real support systems find a way to help you do just that. False supporters allow you to hold onto sub-optimal thinking for long periods of time. They may think they are being supportive by listening or by letting you lean on them. In reality, they are letting you fall short on your commitment to thinking great.

Why this happens is, for the most part, a factor of these folk’s unwillingness to really go for it themselves. The don’t shoot for greatness because they are afraid of getting hurt or of losing some of their creature comforts. They’re into the safe route. And when they see a friend or family member hanging it out on the line, they get nervous. With all good intentions, they want to offer protection and shelter. Frankly, they are much more comfortable when they see a performer struggling and they offer to “make it alright.” That reality is much more akin to their own. But peak performance never comes from doing it the safe way. It comes from putting everything you’ve got into your dream, being willing to fall flat on your face and then getting up and doing it again. For that, you need supporters. And you need to be surrounding yourself with the kind that push you to keep great thinking on track.

Peak Performers has been at the forefront of helping organisations and their employees achieve accelerated growth through the mastery of Self. This is achieved through the exploration of the depths of human potential using validated personality and behavioural tools as well as through extensive research on the psyche of the human mind and how it relates to the body.

Be a peak performer!

I'm striving to be one...

Stardust....

It was quite a wonderful weekend for busy people like me who hecticly spent the days entirely at work. Nothing else matters most than work. And its all the while always been...work...work...and work. Always work. How can't you be seduced by temptation of work when knowing the earning you'll be getting at the ned of the month? No work...no pay? The earning salary that really paays off in supporting a living in big city. And due to that reason, despite the idea of finding ways to pause my exhausted mind to slight rest, that had me pop up into the feeling of watching a movie last weekend. So I went and its the Stardust that I chose to watch, one selected movie title from the number of recent good movies listing on screening. Its just after the movie ended, felt like I just had a small deep breath and floating myself into a fairy tale movie of a fallen star, magics and in searching the values of 'true love' despite triggering my critical & practical engineering mind with the duo function of flying+sailing Cptn Shakespeare's Ship.

One of the main reasons people go to see movies is to escape the reality of their lives and immerse themselves in the story being told or to just simply be entertained. Instead of doing nothing or ended up in bed with lots of sleeps, I like to escape by watching a good movie. To me it’s like therapy. This one is a superb choice for doing just that. What a journey! Sure, this might not exactly be the best fantasy movie ever made, but it does the job of transporting you to another world full of magic and wonder. It’s like that bedtime story that you never got tired of hearing as a child. I would be so bold as to say that it’s the next best fantasy since the Chronicles of Narnia and the three sequels of The Pirates of the Caribean movies.

Stardust provides the awe-inspiring fantasy that usually attracts saucer-eyed young ones, but doesn't shy away from murder, dark magic, and adult jokes. It's a breath of fresh air after months of summer blockbusters aimed squarely at male teenagers. Stardust promises storybook adventure for grownups, who require (and deserve) a little fairy dust blown their way from time to time.
It's not a blimp, it's a zeppelin!

A good measure of the success of a fairy tale film such as this one is the connection one makes with its characters. This fairy tale does not fall short. The character development was just enough to get you hooked and to feel for each of them individually. From the star, Yvaine, to Tristan’s mother (Kate Magowan), down to the first mate on Captain Shakespeare’s (Robert DeNiro) vessel, you get attached. Speaking of Captain Shakespeare! Words cannot describe DeNiro’s role in this movie. You will not believe your eyes. Priscilla was speechless. Another shocker is seeing Michelle Pfeiffer look old and ugly. But as old and ugly as she looked at some moments, she looked just as beautiful in others. She is another case of someone who defies time. My favorite character has got to be Yvaine, the star. Even though this was not a flawless performance by Claire, and Yvaine at first was a little hard to swallow, Claire’s beauty totally illuminated the character, literally. There are few things more precious than making a beautiful woman glow.

The plot of this film was quite imaginative and yet simple enough to follow comfortably. The dialogue, however, did not keep pace at times. Luckily the talented cast helped you get passed the rough edges. The cinematography also helped. Beautiful views and sets along with a modest amount of special effects and CGI helped preserve the illusion of being transported to this place. Writer/Director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake) as a director in only his second major motion picture is off to a great start. We can expect wonderful things from Mr. Vaughn. In the meantime, be on the lookout for any falling stars, no not Lindsay or Britney, I mean from the sky.

If people would keep on comparing the novel with the movies, no one would ever make a movie from a novel if it would mean they have to please all those hardcore fans. There are certain limitations to a movie as there are certain limitations to a novel.

Anyways its a great FUN movie to watch. Dont watch it as a (trying) film critic. But instead watch it like when you were a kid. Just enjoying every second of the story and not counting how many deviations and errors it has from the novel. :)

Watching a movie is supposed to entertain... not to trivialize. To each his own i guess. :)

Parents need to know that although this highly entertaining fantasy will appeal to kids with its mix of swashbuckling adventure and romance, it's darker than cinematic cousins like The Princess Bride. It's surprisingly violent, with several deaths and lots of fights featuring knives and swords. The scenes in which an evil witch unleashes her fury are truly frightening (one with a voodoo doll may make even older tweens close their eyes), as is her transformation into an old hag. The subplots, including one about brothers vying for their father's crown trying to kill each other, may be too disturbing for younger kids.

Families can talk about what makes up a really good adventure/love story. Is it sword fights? Scary villains? Handsome leading men and ladies? What's the appeal of fantasy tales like this one? Are violent scenes any less scary when they take place in a world of witches and flying ships? Families can also discuss Tristan's relationships with Victoria and Yvaine. Is Victoria worth the trouble he goes to? How is she different from Yvaine? How does the movie show Tristan's changing feelings toward the two women? And why does Lamia want to stay young forever? Is youth valued above all, especially on film?

Violence
Surprising amounts of fantasy/swashbuckling violence, including swordfights, knifings, and sorcery that ends in murder (a man drinks poison and keels over, another man is pushed off a ledge) and destruction. In one particularly brutal scene, a witch drowns a man with a voodoo doll and uses his body to try to stab another. In another scene, she slits a victim's throat. Animals are also killed for witchcraft, and Yvaine is being pursued so a sorceress can eat her heart.

Social Behavior
Backstabbing, literally and figuratively, of Shakespearean proportions. A father pits his sons against each other. Brothers murder each other (with knives, poison, etc.) in a bid to take their father's throne. Witch sisters scream at each other as they try to find Yvaine and kill her. A young woman demands a present from a suitor she doesn't like that much. A young man engages in a one-night stand that produces a son. There are also homophobic overtones in terms of how a pirate is portrayed.

The film is very much a fairy tale executed with tried and true formulas. There is nothing especially new or outrageous here, but there is a tremendous cast, a good script and much laughter. It’s loaded with charm and romanticism.

In all, Stardust is a joy.

A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really...”Do the stars gaze back?" Now *that's* a question.

Words & sentences said by Yvaine, the Fallen Star, from the movie script that really triggered my exhausted mind and make me drifted away in a romanticism & humanism are:-

~~*~~
"The little I know about love is that it's unconditional. It's not something you can buy.

~~*~~

"This wasn't about me trying to buy her love. This was to prove to her how I felt. And what's she doing to prove how she feels about you?"
~~*~~
"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."
~~*~~

The pitch is: it's Pirates of the Caribbean meets The Princess Bride...It has the same sense of humor as The Princess Bride, but it also, hopefully, matches Pirates in terms of the swashbuckling action and [special] effects.

Gazing at the shining stars at nite...is my best interest since my small years as a kid. It makes me feel the peace inside...and to look up at the open dark sky and makes me feel so free & humble... and in peace it teaches me to appreciate the greatest POWER of the Great Creator..

I thank God for making the entire universe so perfectly...and its us human who never know how to appreciate to its best.

Life is a journey...

Life is a Journey

What is meant by The Journey of Life?
By conventional definition for journey of life, it is defined such as a conventional metaphor in which life is represented as a journey having such things as layovers and obstacles to be gotten over.

Our Journey of Life.
Over the years, I have discovered life is a journey, a pilgrimage, a sacred adventure. Within everyone’s inner solitude, there is that bright and warm hearth where the spirit dwells waiting to be roused. There are many paths to enlightenment, their teachings rich and varied offering wisdom and “food for thought” and everything we need for our journey to awakening lies within us. In the beginning, spirituality appears like the bud on a bloom, opening gradually, tempting us with a glimpse of its splendor and unfathomable depths. It is here we create the blueprint of our collective existence. And how many of us really prefers to look back on our past in order to make steps in moving forward? Does we see the origin ground where did we come from? On what base does we initially footed on and where are we going? In what ways does it contribute much to our highest vision & mission? Where is exactly our destination?

Each of us from time to time does experience crises from different life changing events and transitions, all unpredictable moments arriving and intruding into our “well groomed” lives. We didn’t ask for this interference and we wonder why it has arrived bringing with it havoc and confusion. BUT no matter what the source, each crisis has a common bond…a threshold. A holy summons inviting us to cross a threshold involving both a leaving behind and a stepping toward.

During these times of roadblocks, dead ends and detours, we often choose to ignore that inner calling. Transformation takes an enormous amount of trust in the voice that urges us to take note. We need to pay attention and ask ourselves what is it we are being summoned to learn? Has the time arrived to push past our comfort zone and begin the slow process of transformation? Are we ready to accept responsibility for our life choices and embark on this soulful journey? Many of us have learned to be afraid of the feelings inside of ourselves. We tend to bury or ignore them. Perhaps even run from them pretending they don’t exist. We cannot deceive ourselves! Until we claim and embrace these “unwanted” pieces of our shadow, they will continue to resurface, haunting us and making their presence known, one way or another.

The invitation to re-kindle our authentic self wears many disguises and often arrives in some of the most unexpected ways and always with a revelation. Life passages can mystify and overwhelm us, causing pain and grief. It is frightening to veer off the well-worn path, better known as our “comfort zone.” But if we are willing to take the time to acknowledge and reflect on each passage, they can bestow wisdom and knowledge expanding our vision of our authenticity.

Celebrating, mourning or wrestling with a life passage is an extraordinary act. Slow down and be in touch with your feelings. Be kind and loving to yourself. Act from your spirit and heart and don’t forget to breathe!

Life is a journey, not a race.
To regard it as anything different will only lead to disappointment. Run the race in such a way as to win but does the first place winner of the games was an indicative metaphor of how life should be pursued? Not hardly, to my opinion. However, it was meant to have a deeper meaning -- to strive to finish the race in such a way as to have eternal worth. I quit "racing" the running events which I entered couple of years ago. I believe that God allows me to enjoy barefoot running and to enjoy the "journey". It's not about winning anymore but more about who and what I am during the journey. So, how does God teach you about your journey? For me, it is my running and more pointedly my barefoot running. Are we so consumed about the finish that we have not considered the journey for some time now? I am not implying that I have a constant focus on the journey, myself. I fall incredibly short some days and have to ask again for guidance on what's really important.

God has been so good to me. He has allowed me this little distraction in life, namely barefoot running. The irony is that what may seem like foolishness in some people's eyes is one of God's main instructive tools in my life. Today, I thank God for the journey I am on and only wish to cross the finish line when He calls! I seek to live life and ends under His great blessing.

Life is actually a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road will not always be smooth; in fact, throughout our travels, we will encounter many challenges.

Some of these challenges will test our courage, strengths, weaknesses, and faith. Along the way, we may stumble upon obstacles that will come between the paths that we are destined to take. In order to follow the right path, we must overcome these obstacles. Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings in disguise, only we don't realize that at the time.

Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache. How we react to what we are faced with determines what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like.

When things don't always go our way, we have two choices in dealing with the situations. We can focus on the fact that things didn't go how we had hoped they would and let life pass us by, or two, we can make the best out of the situation and know that these are only temporary setbacks and find the lessons that are to be learned.

Time stops for no one, and if we allow ourselves to focus on the negative we might miss out on some really amazing things that life has to offer. We can't go back to the past, we can only take the lessons that we have learned and the experiences that we have gained from it and move on. It is because of the heartaches, as well as the hardships, that in the end help to make us a stronger person. The people that we meet on our journey, are people that we are destined to meet. Everybody comes into our lives for some reason or another and we don't always know their purpose until it is too late. They all play some kind of role. Some may stay for a lifetime; others may only stay for a short while.

It is often the people who stay for only a short time that end up making a lasting impression not only in our lives, but in our hearts as well. Although we may not realize it at the time, they will make a difference and change our lives in a way we never could imagine. To think that one person can have such a profound affect on your life forever is truly a blessing. It is because of these encounters that we learn some of life's best lessons and sometimes we even learn a little bit about ourselves.

People will come and go into our lives quickly, but sometimes we are lucky to meet that one special person that will stay in our hearts forever no matter what. Even though we may not always end up being with that person and they may not always stay in our life for as long as we like, the lessons that we have learned from them and the experiences that we have gained from meeting that person, will stay with us forever. But it will be the luckiest charm if that special person stays with us and shared the journey till the last. And it’s the best time to learn what appreciation should means. God has despairs the best tool for us to learn our lessons.

It's these things that will give us strength to continue on with our journey. We know that we can always look back on those times of our past and know that because of that one individual, we are who we are and we can remember the wonderful moments that we have shared with that person.

Memories are priceless treasures that we can cherish forever in our hearts. They also enable us to continue on with our journey for whatever life has in store for us. Sometimes all it takes is one special person to help us look inside ourselves and find a whole different person that we never knew existed. Our eyes are suddenly opened to a world we never knew existed, a world where time is so precious and moments never seem to last long enough.

Throughout this adventure, people will give you advice and insights on how to live your life but when it all comes down to it, you must always do what you feel is right. Always follow your heart, and most importantly never have any regrets. Don't hold anything back. Say what you want to say, and do what you want to do, because sometimes we don't get a second chance to say or do what we should have the first time around.

It is often said that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. It all depends on how one defines the word "strong" It can have different meanings to different people. In this sense, "stronger" means looking back at the person you were and comparing it to the person you have become today. It also means looking deep into your soul and realizing that the person you are today couldn't exist if it weren't for the things that have happened in the past or for the people that you have met. Everything that happens in our life happens for a reason and sometimes that means we must face heartaches in order to experience joy.

Life is a journey we travel together, walking hand in hand with our sisters, brothers and friends. Our lives, though different, are interwoven, creating a beautiful weaving of love in our world. Take a moment to be present to someone in need. Show that we care, reach out and plant a loving seed. Men and women, young and aged, no matter of different colour skin, in solidarity we stand together, united from within. Together let us work to build God's Kingdom here today: justice, equality, sharing, compassion, peace will be our way.

I believe that as long as we live, there will be lessons to learn in our daily lives. A journey through life is a journey of lessons, one after another. Each life lesson, it will continually present itself to us until we have learned it. Then, the next lesson will then be revealed for us to learn from. These lessons can be just about anything at all. It may be a lesson to learn about patience, when we get stuck in jams or when things just don’t go our way. It may also be a lesson of compassion and forgiveness when someone hurt our feelings. It may even be a lesson to learn how to say ‘Thank You”.

Some of these lessons will be easy and a walk in the park to comprehend and learn. However, there will also be lessons that will challenge our very own outlook of life itself. And as long as there are lessons that present themselves to us, we will have to accept these lessons if we wish to continually grow ourselves.

Who says life is easy? It doesn’t really matter if we are rich or poor, tall or short, a sports person or a genius intellectual. There will always be lessons to learn. The only difference is that you will learn difference lessons. The genius intellectual will probably need to learn about interaction or humility. The rich may need to learn about compassion or sharing. And here’s the best thing about life as well. There is no mistakes if we fail to learn these lessons, there simply is just more lessons!

The key to learning life lessons is to be open to them. By understanding that life is all about learning, then it’s easy to accept the challenges that it may present to us. But on the contrary, if we reject or close our minds to new lessons, then we will simply not see these lessons. Everyday will just be like any other day, and we will continue to stay stagnant as we are for as long as we avoid new lessons to learn. The more lessons we reject, the less we are able to grow ourselves.

So ask yourselves, what have we learnt today? Did life presented us with a new challenge to tackle? Or perhaps we may realise something that we have always been practising to be wrong. What are we going to do about them? Only us can answer these questions and choose to either accept the lesson or just reject them.

There have many known and un known difficulty in our life, but that is life, we must keep optimistical, life is colourful just because of many different things maybe, so we just go on and come on.

Yes, life is a journey through time, not space, and most of us are conscientiously trying of avoid reaching our final destination. It seems, however, that far too many people forget that a journey is to be enjoyed, else what is the point of taking the trip?

During the journey one must take a moment to smell the flowers that spring up unbidden by the roadside. One must always be mindful of the way-stations that appear and fully explore them, seeking out all the attractions that station has to offer, the love of your journey's companion, the birth of a child, the recognition of our peers, small acts of kindness that cost you nothing and brought happiness to another and those times of serene contemplation when you feel the journey has been worthwhile. Those are the times that are the fuel that give you the energy to take the next step and continue the journey,

Our journey should have purpose to provide our spirit with meaning, for aimless wondering is a waste of time and energy. Granted, there can, on occasion, be moments when even aimless wandering can fill the spirit with the sights of unexpected and unplanned for beauty, but those times are even more glorious when stumbled upon by the purposeful mind that is aware of the road being travelled and why we are travelling it.

And in the end before the final station comes into view we can look back with satisfaction and delight in all the stations stopped at and all those times of joy remembered, savoured and cherished. Then we can enter the final station with the supreme satisfaction of a good journey well travelled.

I thank God for making my journey of life so colourful with so many lessons to be learned.
