Faith....

"Would you dare make the leap of faith and up-root from where you are currently and leave behind everything that you currently have in that place?

Eventhough its seems the scariest thing to do in the world... To find something more meaningful in life , I made the decision to change the path in my life .. Money Wise I have so much more less than I am used to , I have less, considering now I am nearly almost living on handouts .. hehehehehe, But what I have gain is tremendously much much more than what I had to let go.

I have attain a  blissful life... (~__~)  I am filled and surrounded with  love and warmth  that has been kinda missing in my life for all those years... The feeling of being safe, loved and having the security net around me ...  I made the decision back few years ago. The catalyst was the Alpha Course which changed my perspective on life.  To attain what fulfills me in life on a daily basis.. That is,  To let go,  Let go of all my worldy concerns and worries and  put my Trust In The Lord , Jesus. simple , right?

Yea Yea, some  people might say we should not be complacent , we should not be coddled in life as that would make us lazy people..But why does it have to be a harsh, hard, unloving, and  cold life?  Why choose Living a life of misery to Living a Life of Bliss and Joy and Happiness? We still can  continue going after what we dream of in life .. coz we can never stop dreaming and we will never stop living...  It is soo much more better making the journey with an Appreciative, Grateful, Happy and Positive Attitude  . Though life is not sunshine and happiness daily but when we are filled to the brim with Blissfulness,  it is so much easier to take on Life's challenges head on.  Of course there those times that are black days and depressive days but with Family and Good Friends surrounding me, ahhhh  great to be able to wash off the black moods .. with laughter and happy moments.. plus the occassional Happy drink ... In as much, I am still in need of lotsa; faith, confidence, and endurance too. Nobody is perfect.  Everyone just like you and me is doing to the best of their abillities in daily life. So Get a Great Appreciative Attitude  and don't be a hard-arse to others.

 O and I did a whole lot of shopping and spending ... and treats to myself and treats to whomever who accepted my invitations,  with a God send gift package .. ehehehehe I am being Grateful everyday and Thanking God for all the nice bit of surprises that's like an avalanche coming into my life.

 Cheers!

The Unforgettable Date..

Unforgetatable Date.... am sure you are thinking that I be writing about my best date ever but .. hahaha its just the opposite.. It was so bad that I keep on thinking about it till today.. On why ever in hell did I let myself myself into that Worst Date Ever of my life..

Well the usual scenario would be like this cartoon...! I would be having the pleasure of being impressed by the guy , and would be testing how high the guy would jump rope for me ! hehehehe..

I have been wine and dine and wine and dine many times and easily forgetabble dates. Just that this   unforgetabble date is with someone I kinda have  "Great Expectations On ..." well maybe coz of the Great Expectation"  it was the worst furthest from the expectations..

Summarised version..
For one, I had to wait for one hour for the guy to arrive, was actually asked to wait at several different locations,  and no apologise for lateness, never asking  me how I am , rude to the waitress,   immediately went on a dialogue about himself.  and all about him.  What a bummer... (~__~)








It would have not mattered where it was or the lateness of the arrival , would have been forgivable if only ...  , just prefereably ,  the guy would be more of a  Great Guy? ..  I really am not expecting much ...Just a normal, average,  Guy Guy! ..

Feeling like I can take on the world with Pezzaz!

Yesterday is gone... Thank fully .. I was sick and i don't like feeling sick,  I feel soo helpless and hopeless.. but I did try to enjoy the sick off day. It was fine so fine and restfull
:-)
Most importantly,  got my Energy back today!! And I feel more wonderful than ever.. sot hahahaha


Today,  feeling so so much better and Happier  and Brighter and Shinnier .. (~__~)  Can you see me shimmering? hehehe  Urm but still feeling the dizziness if I move or turn my head too fast though.. maybe I should start bit slower  today . Not too much play or else my newly renergize mind, body and soul might crash again ..

The thing that makes me most happiest today is that I have line-up and prioritize on all the stuff am gonna get .. LOL ... Shophaholic Trait kicking in .... (~__~) But hey I really need these things .. Ya know..

Survive Rough Times

By Jane Powell - www.MeditationsForWomen.com

"When the going gets rough, you need self-worth."

When you're looking good on the outside, with a new outfit or haircut, your day goes more smoothly and you handle setbacks more easily. This feels good and helps us handle the daily grind. But, tackling challenges is much easier and more dramatic when you feel good about yourself on the inside!

A strong self-worth builds personal resilience, which helps you face challenges and bounce back from adversity. You grow stronger from the inside out, and feel the confidence to persevere and move forward with enthusiasm.

So when things go wrong, don't reach for your credit card. Instead, reach inside for that priceless deposit of self-worth!

*Am not reaching for my Credit Card  anymore But am reaching inside for that priceless deposit of self-worth... Just sometimes its hard to find ..It is very very hard to find . those are the times that I feel my worst and most depressed. But everyday I choose to be always cheerful. And people around think I don't have any problems in my life. Its okay , that is the way it should be.  Am taking care of myself my life and building my self-worth everyday..


Building Self-Worth 

In his book, Healing The Shame That Binds You, John Bradshaw says: "Total self-love and acceptance is the only foundation for happiness and the love of others. Without total self-love and acceptance, we are doomed to the enervating task of creating false selves."

Self-acceptance, self-love, a positive self-image, the freedom to be ourselves; all these are crucial aspects of self-esteem. Whether seen from the ultimate perspective of spirituality, which exhorts us to be our true self, or from the more modest psychological imperative to develop a positive self-image, the struggle towards self-esteem is everyone's journey.


"Healthy self-esteem correlates with rationality, realism, intuitiveness, creativity, independence, flexibility, ability to manage change, willingness to admit (and correct) mistakes, benevolence and cooperation.

Poor self-esteem correlates with irrationality, blindness to reality, rigidity, fear of the new and unfamiliar, inappropriate conformity or inappropriate rebelliousness, defensiveness, an overly compliant or controlling behavior, and fear or hostility towards others."


• Living consciously: This is an active mind rather than a passive one, being in the moment, with a concern to know external and internal reality.  "To live consciously means to be aware of everything that bears on our actions, purposes, values and goals to the best of our ability and to behave in accordance with that which we see and know."

• Self-acceptance: This means accepting all feelings, thoughts and acts and being compassionate towards oneself. "Self-acceptance entails our willingness to experience—that is, to make real to ourselves without denial or evasion—that we think what we think, feel what we feel, desire what we desire, have done what we have done, and are what we are."

• Self-responsibility: This includes being responsible for the achievement of desires, for the level of consciousness; our behavior with other people; for prioritizing time and for personal happiness. "In taking responsibility for our own existence we implicitly recognize that other human beings are not our servants and do not exist merely for satisfying our needs."

• Self-assertiveness: It is your right to exist as you are. It is the acceptance that your life does not belong to others and that you are not here to live up to someone else's expectations.

• Purposeful living: "To live purposefully is to use our power for the attainment of goals we have selected; the goal of studying, of raising a family, of earning a living," says Branden.

• Personal integrity: "When our behavior is congruent with our professed values, when ideals and practice match, we have integrity."

Issues!! I need a Paradigm Shift.

I have issues!

In 1962, Thomas Kuhn wrote The Structure of Scientific Revolution, and fathered, defined and popularized the concept of "paradigm shift" (p.10). Kuhn argues that scientific advancement is not evolutionary, but rather is a "series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions", and in those revolutions "one conceptual world view is replaced by another".

Think of a Paradigm Shift as a change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change. 

HUH! 

And..

Moving from one thought system to another!

Where
Evolution is Normal
Change is Constant
Leaders share Vision
Earth is a School House
Science and Spirituality Convene
Children Play
Diversity is Respected
There is No Better Here Than Now
and
Love is All There Is.

I need to change my thingking to shopping  for stuff that appreciates in value over time rather than stuff that depreciates over time..  :-)
