Truly powerful people have great humility. They do not try to impress, they do not try to be influential. They simply are. People are magnetically drawn to them. They are most often very silent and focused, aware of their core selves. … They never persuade, nor do they use manipulation or aggressiveness to get their way. They listen. If there is anything they can offer to assist you, they offer it; if not, they are silent.
Evil cycles
There are actually things in this world that we can sense, where facts don’t necessarily have to tell us explicitly. It is not the mind at work, but the heart at work. There are not many truths (not facts) in life, sometimes when you see it (not literally), you know it is true. Perhaps you will argue that it could be true for me only and not for the rest of the people around. Well, I wouldn’t say you are wrong.
Sometimes I can sense that a type of attitude, a nature of being, or purely a surge of a type of energy passes down from one person to another. I can sense that such an attitude, being or energy comes from what happens before. Suddenly somewhere in my brain, perceived possible events are played back in retrospective fashion.
In simple terms, if the big bad boss up there is nasty, he passes it down to manager, who then passes down to the people doing the hard work. And it turns out that I’m not saying that this happens in only work environment. If you look around, it happens everywhere. People start airing grouses about one another and complaining about every single thing that we are unhappy about. We start guarding ourselves with imaginary shields and suddenly we wear a invisible mask wherever we go. We start saying things that only make someone happy in hope of getting self-benefitted. I cannot sense the authenticity, I cannot sense that what comes out is genuine. Every minute is wasted, for every minute of this energy can be made into better use.
I can never understand why this has to happen. If we can wake up one fine day and realise that we have the power to stop the ‘evil’ energy that keeps circulating, we will make the world a better place to live in. We already have enough of trouble to keep us troubled today, so why create further trouble?
The only problem that I see is, no one wants to be the first to change this. And this is the real problem in the world. Seriously it was never about tsunamis, airplane crashes, economic downturn or wars. It was all the long a problem with ourselves that we refused to acknowledge. Why don’t we start fixing what we have to within ourselves? The rest of the problems will cease to disappear.
As long as I live, I promise to do my best to stop evil cycles that come in my way from happening. Evil may a strong word, but this is what I thought it would manifest into eventually, if nothing good is done.
Hugs were invented to let people know you love them without having to say anything
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can also turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger to a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace today and and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Thoughts on a Sprain
This is really random, don’t say you weren’t warned.
Nursing a sprained ankle made me think of a few random things.
First, the distance that we usually walk when we are outside is really significant as compared to when we are at home. We do walk ALOT when we are outdoors. The amount of distance we walk at home just seems so negligible.
Second, the journey with a sprained ankle is always treacherous, regardless the distance.
Third, we seldom or perhaps never realize how much we have taken it for granted, for the fact that we are able to move with our legs normally.
Last, swelling from a sprain can be really bad because every step is like a stab but the good news is, all it really takes is a good night rest. You will wake up feeling revived and alive! For faster results, visit a sinseh (Chinese physician). Pull here pull there does help too (sounding Singaporean but it is done intentionally).
This is a really random post inspired by really random thoughts. If you are reading this, you must be feeling really random too.
Muahahaha…
And here I am putting on a forced smile with a tired look after the visit to the doctor.
