What If?

Most of us go through each day looking for what we saw yesterday. And not surprisingly. that is what we find.

Most of us expect the same, or worse and we are not frequently disappointed. But what would happened if we started to expect surprise? What if we removed the blinders that allow us to see only more of the negative things we have come to expect in life?

What if we started to look for the ordinary magic? would we be disappointed?

What would happened to us if we really fell in love with life? HOw would our lives change if we really thought, as Thoreau encourages, that reality fabulous? What if we took his advice and " Steadily observed reality only"?

Would our lives really be like a fairy tale, as he suggests? What if we started to look for the grand things that life would bring us each day? Would we be fools of whom other peoples take advantage, or would we find that life is exciting, joyful and wonderful?

by James A. Kitchens

You are what you BELIEVE

Human are powerful magicians. Whatever you believe you are, then that is what you are. And you can do that because you are life, God, Intent.

When you know that the power that is life is inside you, you accept your won divinity, and yet you are humble, because you see the same Divinity in everyone else. You see how easy it is to understand universe, everything is a manifestation of universe.

When you love with unconditional, you align with the spirit of life becomes the expression of the beauty of the spirit. Life is nothing but a dream, a vision, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.

Happiness Resides Within

Happiness Never comes from out-side us. We are responsible for our own happiness. The mistake most of us make from the beginning is that we base our happiness on our partner, and it doesn't work that way. We make all those promises that we cannot keep, and we set ourselves up to fail.

When you were a child you were attracted to other children because you wanted to play, you wanted to have fun. if you go into a partnership to have drama, because we want to be jealous, because we want to be possessive, because we want to control our partner's life, we are not looking for fun, we are looking for pain, and that is what we are going to find.

If we go into a relationship with selfishness, expecting that our partner is going to make you happy, it will not happen. The only person can make us happy is the one who're in front of the mirror.

We are born with the right to be happy, with the right to enjoy life. if we take responsibility for our own life, for our own actions, then our future is in our hands, and we can live in heaven. Surrender all those ideas about being what you are not, and become what you really are. When you surrender to the real you, you surrender to life.

Meditation

"The goal of this meditation is the beautiful silence, stillness and clarity of mind."

Meditation is the way to achieve letting go. In Meditation one lets go of the complex world outside in order to reach the serene world inside. In all types of mysticism and in many traditions, this is known as the path to the pure and powerful mind. The experience of this pure mind, released from the world, is very wonderful and blissful.

During this meditation retreat there will be some hard work at the beginining, but be willing to bear that hard work knowing that it will lead you to experience some very beautiful and meaningful states. They will be well worth the effort! it is a law of nature that without effort one does not make progress. whether one is a layperson or a monk, without effort one get nowhere, in meditation or in anything.

Effort alone, through, is not sufficient. The effort need to be skillful. This means directing your energy just at the right places and sustaining it there until its task is completed. Skillful effort neither hinders nor disturbs you, instead it produces the beautiful peace of deep meditation.

In order to know where your effort should be directed, you must have a clear understanding of the Intention of meditation. The Intention of this meditation is the beautiful silence, stillness and clarity of mind. if you can understand that intention then the place to apply your effort, the means to moving toward the intention become very clear.

The effort is directed to letting go, to developing a mind that inclines to abandoning. One of the many simple but profound statement of the lord Buddha is that" a meditator whose mind in clines to abandoning, easily achieves Smadhi.

Another stage of meditation, is silent awareness of the present moment. You may spend the majority of your time just developing these two stages because if you can get this far then you have gone a long way indeed in your meditation. in that silent awareness of "Just now"you will experience much peace, joy and consequent wisdom.

If you want to go further, then instead of being silently aware of whatever come into the mind, you choose silent present moment awareness of one thing. That one thing can be the experince of breathing, the idea of loving and kindness.

It often happens that when we start breath meditation when our mind is still jumping around between past or future, and when awareness is being drowned by the inner commentary. with no preparation we find breath meditation so difficult, give up because we did not start at the right place. We did not perform the preparatory work before taking up the breath as a focus of our attention.

when you focus on the breath, you focus on the experience of the breath happening now. You experience "that which tells you what the breath is doing". When you know the breath going in and the breath going out, for say one hundred breaths in a row, not missing one, then you have achieved what i call the third stage of this meditation, sustained attention on the breath.

"Do absolutely nothing and see how smooth and beautiful and timeless the breath can appear.

The First Agreement

Recently I have review book of "THE FOUR AGREEMENT" by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book highly recommended by Linda for CV Participant reading, Especially CV1.

I felt that it so powerful so decided to share at my blog with the summaries; Hope you enjoyed your reading and put into action, lives your life with Impeccable.

The First Agreement – Be Impeccable with your word

The first agreement is the most important one and also the most difficult one to honor: Be Impeccable with your Word. It sounds very simple, but it is very, very powerful.

Why your word? Your word is the power that you have to create. Your word is the gift that comes directly from God. Through the word you manifest your intent, regardless of what language you speak. What you dream, what you feel and what you really are will all be manifested through the word. The word is a force; it is the power you have to communicate, to think, and thereby to create the events in your life. The word is the most powerful tool you have, but like a sword with two edges, you word can create the most beautiful dream, or your word can destroy everything around you. One edge of the sword is the misuse of the word, which creates a living hell. The other edge is the impeccability of the word, which will only create beauty, love and heaven on earth.

The human mind is like fertile ground where seeds are continually being planted. The seeds are opinions, ideas and concepts. The word is pure magic; we plant a seed a thought , and it grows. Every human is a magician, and we thoughtlessly cast spells on each other all the time with our opinions. Someone gives an opinion and says, “Look, that child is ugly. “ The child listens, believes she is ugly, and grows up with this idea. It doesn’t matter how beautiful she is; as long as she has that agreement, she will believe that she is ugly. That is the spell she is under.

These types of spells are difficult to break. Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement, and it becomes part of our belief system. The only thing that can break a spell is to make a new agreement based on truth. The truth is the most important part of being impeccable with our word. Only the truth has the power to break the spell and set us free.

Now let us see what the word impeccability means. Impeccability means “WITHOUT SIN.” Religions talk about SIN and Sinners, but let’s understand what it really means to Sin. A Sin is anything you do which goes against yourself. Your go against yourself when you judge or blame or reject yourself. Self-rejection is one of the biggest sins you can commit. Being Impeccable is exactly the opposite. You take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge, blame, or reject yourself.

Being impeccable with your word means using your energy in the direction of truth and love for yourself. If I see you in the street and I call you stupid, it appears that I’m using the word against you. But really I’m using my word against myself, because you’re going to hate me, and you hating me is not good for me. Therefore, if I get angry and with my word sent that emotional poison to you, I’m using the word against myself.

If I love myself, I will express that love in my interaction with you, and then I am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction. If I love you, then you will love me. If I insult you, you will insult me. If I’m selfish with you, you will be selfish with me. If I use the word to put a spell on you, you are going to put a spell on me.

You can measure the impeccability of your word by your level of self-love. How much you love yourself and how you feel about yourself is directly proportionate to the quality and integrity of your word. When you speak with integrity and say exactly what you mean, you are impeccable with your word; you feel good; you feel happy and at peace.

Being Impeccable with you word also means to refrain from spreading gossip. Gossip can be compared to a computer virus. A virus is a piece of computer language written with a harmful intent. This code is inserted into the program of your computer without your awareness. After this code has been introduced, your computer doesn’t work right anymore. In the same way, one little piece of misinformation can break down communication between peoples; causing every person it touches to become infected and contagious to others.

If you make agreement with yourself to be impeccable with your word, just with that intention, the truth will manifest through your and clean all the emotional poison within you. When you follow this agreement, you begin to see all the changes that can happen in your life – first in the way you deal with yourself, and later in the way you deal with other people, especially those you love the most.

Impeccability of the word can lead you to personal freedom, to huge success and abundance; it can take away all the fear and transform it into joy and love. You can attain the kingdom of heaven from this one agreement: Be impeccable with your word.

the Invitation (邀请)

Very Beautiful Poem from a friend..... Enjoyed! It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for. and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,  for your dream, for the adventure of being alive It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow. if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain~ I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it~ I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own. if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.  if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day~ and if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine. and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon~  “Yes!” It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up. after the night of grief and despair. weary and bruised to the bone. and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away, I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. 我对你靠何为生不感兴趣 我只想知道你为何疼痛 我只想知道你是否敢于梦想达到你心中的追求 我对你多大年纪不感兴趣 我只想知道你是否愿意像个傻瓜一样冒险寻找爱、 寻找梦想和寻找生命的旅程。 我对你是否是什么星座不感兴趣 我只想知道你是否被你自己的悲痛所感动，被生命的辜负所打开； 或者变得束手无策，因为对更多的恐惧而关闭自己。 我只想知道你是否能处理你自己的痛苦而不是藏起来，淡下来或者处理它。 我只想知道你是否可以感受与我的和你自己的喜悦， 你可以疯狂地跳舞，让这种极度的喜悦充满你的手指和脚趾间， 而不用警告我们要小心，要现实些，记得人类的限制。 我对你是否告诉我实话不感兴趣。 我只想知道你是否可以让别人失望而对自己真实； 你是否可以忍受背叛的控告而不背叛你自己的灵魂； 你是否可以背信弃义然后值得信赖。 我只想知道每天你是否可以从不美的事物中看到美丽； 从生活本身找到自己。 我只想知道你是否可以活在你的我的失败中， 仍旧站在湖边对着满月的银光大喊：“是的！” 我对你住在哪里，挣多少钱不感兴趣。 我只想知道在忧伤、绝望、疲倦、瘀伤入骨的夜晚你是否能站起来， 做需要做的事情去喂饱孩子。 我对你认识谁，你怎么到这里的不感兴趣 我只想知道你是否可以和我站在火里而不退缩。 我对在哪里学习，学了什么及和谁学习都不感兴趣 我只想知道当所有其他的都消失了，在内心什么支持着你， 我只想知道你是否可以独处， 是否真的在这个空虚的时刻喜欢你的这个伙伴。

Bangkok!

G0t the chance to explore BANGKOK many times, as I like this special country, Over 10 Million peoples out of the total population of 60 Million live in the capital, you know the city is the urban and cultural heart of the land.

This year we went to Bangkok for CV Graduate Thailand program, as well as 2 opening night in bangkok for CV Graduate Bhutan. Just being there again with my family and Kev's family members, we have a great trip. 

As some of my friends is asking about the Bangkok Attractions place........ so I do my best to describe.  If you are shopping QUEEN or KING, your purpose to bangkok is just for shopping. From the gleaming chrome and marble shopping centres to the busy bustling markets. Bangkok teems with places to buy just about everything. Shopping centres with cool understand interiors selling exclusive labels, boutiques with funky clothes, flea markets, antique shops, handicraft centres, flower markets and fantastic food markets.... the choices like the shopping, is exhausting!!!

Chatuchak Market

A busy bustling maze where you'll shop until you feet are sore, haha!! and you still won't have covered half of it!! Everything from fashion, Art, pets, plants, food, ceramics, stationery and all kind of stuff can be found. if you enjoy bargaining you'll be in absolute heaven. A place that you might want to go back many times.

** Our usual shopping place.

Pratunam Market

Great bargains in young ready-to wear fashion, jewellery and leather goods. Hot and colourful -one of bangkok's old established market is packed with stalls and vendors who spill out on to the main street. Great for teenager. My mother like this place so much, we solute her that she can shop whole day here.

** Find out "Fashion city mall" it is a wholesales place, majority of retailer go there to get the clothes there, remember to bring more cash, otherwise you will regret.

Suan Lum night market

It is not your traditional Bangkok market and although largely geared towards the tourist market, is still an interesting evening market to stroll around.

** Less stalls now compare with many year ago.

Pak Klong Talaat (Flower market)

A perfect market for insomniacs, its best visited early morning. Orchids, rare exotics, lotus, roses, lily different kinds of flower and even several incredibly coloured chrysanthemums, all well below price. Girls lover!!!!

Sampeng Lane

A narrow walkway lined with Market stalls and tiny local shops jostling for room, Sampeng seems to go on for miles with each section specializing in certain goods.  Walk through braids and beads to costume jewelry, to cutlery, fabrics, monks' supplies, chinese stuff and more. Sometime you will find special and interesting thing over here.

Nokhon Kasem (China Town)

Inside the maze of lanes and alleys within Chinatown. Formerly the thieves Market. An difference range of items from auto parts to antiques, coffee grinders to ice cream makers, and a selection of chinese gongs await.

Attractions place.......

The Grand Place

A "Must see" the fabulous Grand Palace is exquisitely decorated with gold and glass which literally dazzle in the sun. Bangkok most famous landmark was built 1782.

Wat Phra Kaeo (The Emerald Buddha)

One of Thai most revered temples. Located inside the grounds of the Grand Palace. This Royal temple contains an exquisite Emerald Buddha which dated back to around the 14th century. An Absolute must. Must dress appropriately, no shorts or revealing tops, otherwise you simply won't allowed to be in.

Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)

Perhaps Bangkok's most famous temples - the one you will see on all the postcards. It has an imposing spire over 70 metres high. Beautifully decorated with tiny pieces of coloured glass and chinese porcelain placed delicately into intricate patterns.

Floating Market

Unique rural Floating Market at Damneon Saduak, the original floating market, where dozens of small skiffs are floating about "manned" by one or two women selling fruits, vegetables, firewood and varied country products. 

Evening Dinner Cruise

Enjoy a dinner along Chao Phraya River. Cruise & feel the sight & sound of Bangkok at night view. Enjoyed the special Thai food on the cruise.

Home is where the HEART is...... heard this word many times. We have wonderful & fulfill summer trip, the journey start from CV Graduate Program in Thailand, (Bangkok & Hua Hin) both place is very difference, in term of atmosphere, peoples, energy, natural and my emotion.

Looking over the himalaya, from the meditation early morning, I discovered about myself "Oneness" Wow!! what a big wake up call, got deeper understand about Universe Law, we are not belong to ourselves.

During Hong Kong trip for a week, allowing myself back to childhood time, allowing my playfulness & fun part showing up. As I choose to go Disney land with Kev, and we have a great time together, I feel so excited even walking on the street with crowd.

One Paragraph That Explain Life!

Recently I received good article from email... here is another great one!! Hope you enjoyed!

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE! 

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.. 

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? 

To this Arthur Ashe replied: 

"The world over, 50 million  children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the  grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' " 

"Happiness keeps you Sweet, 
Trials keep you Strong, 
Sorrow keeps you Human, 
Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, 
But only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...” 
 

I miss Ace!!

Time passed, it have been long time never visit Ace Chua…. By reading his blog wrote by his creative mum Angel http://www.verityy.blogspot.com/ I am able to know what is going on in his life. I think that is helpful for Ganma Evon & also his clari yeye in France.

Although I really seldom see him much often, but since Angel’s pregnant, my heart told me that I want to be Ganma for my “Jie mei Hua” Son!! And so coincident Ace surname is CHUA, it make me even feel our relationship so close.

When I really miss him I will definitely will go to the blogs and check up what are he doing right now, he is so clever and charming, always make his parent “Tak boleh tahan.” Few month ago, Angel’s told me that their whole family might migrate to Dubai, immediately I am thinking “Oh my god so far away”  but Kev re-action is so difference, he said: Yeah! We have excuse to go Dubai and visit them.  Haha!!

Suppose to go Singapore this few day, that is one of my plan too, but neck really pain and not enough sleep, not suitable for me to drive all the way to Singapore. So my next trip will be June…. Hopefully we are able to make it to celebrate his early birthday!! As I really miss him, like to hear his voice while he is talking.  While he called “Ganma Evon” so sweet!!  Why I feel so connected with him leh!! I think is Love & “yuan Feng”.  Thank you Angel & Maximum! See you soon!

Unconditional Acceptance

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college  degree. 

The last  class I had to take was Sociology. 

The teacher  was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human  being had been graced with.  Her last  project of the term was called, 'Smile.' 

The class was  asked to go out and smile at three people and document their  reactions.

I am a very  friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I  thought this would be a piece of cake, literally. 

Soon after we  were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to  McDonald's one crisp March morning. 

It was just  our way of sharing special playtime with our son. 

We were  standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone  around us began to back away, and then even my  husband did. 

I did not  move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me  as I turned to see why they had moved. 

As I turned  around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing  behind me were two poor homeless men. 

As I looked  down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was  'smiling' 

His beautiful  sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for  acceptance. 

He said,  'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been  clutching.. 

The second  man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend.. I realized the  second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his  salvation. 

I held my tears as I stood there  with them. 

The young lady at the counter  asked him what they wanted.. 

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss'  because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the  restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be  warm). 

Then I really felt it - the  compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man  with the blue eyes. 

That is when I noticed all eyes in the 

restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. 

I smiled and asked the young lady  behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate  tray. I then walked around the corner to  the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on  the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold  hand.. 

He looked up at me, with tears in  his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.' 

I leaned over, began to pat his  hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through  me to give you hope.' 

I started to cry as I walked away  to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and  said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me  hope..' 

We held hands for a moment and at  that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given  were we able to give. 

We are not church goers, but we  are believers. 

That day showed me the pure Light  of God's sweet love. 

I returned to college, on the last  evening of class, with this story in hand. 

I turned in 'my project' and the  instructor read it. 

Then she looked up at me and said,  'Can I share this?' 

I slowly nodded as she got the  attention of the class. 

She began to read and that is when  I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to  heal people and to be healed. 

In my own way I had touched the  people at McDonald's, my son,the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a  college student. 

I graduated with one of the  biggest lessons I would ever learn: 

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. 

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to 

LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS -

NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.. 

Love yourself!

There is many way to do Self Affirmation, Self empowered or keep my spirits and energy high. I always use many way to give myself re-charge & move on.

Sometime word just flow... so be prepared to listen to your inner voice and follow your heart.

1) Pick up a self Affirmation card, my today message is:

As I say YES to life, Life Says YES to me!

Life mirrors my every thought. As I keep my thoughts positive,

Life brings to me only good experiences.

2) Look at the mirror, look deep into your own eye, communicate with myself:

Today is your best day!! 

You are so unique and special, remember who you are,

as I truly know you can bring so much Fun, joy, meaningful in to your life.

Be strong, have the courage to contribute to the world.

3) Sent an text message to peoples you care!! My today text message is.....

It's only a thought and a thought can be changes.

We are not limited by any past thinking. Choose our thoughts with care.

Constantly have new insights and awareness of looking at our world.

I am willing to change and grow. I wish you are willing to do that too.

4) Go to nature, look up to the sky and I said: 

I am so grateful that I am able to live life to the fullest, My family members is healthy, happy and they are responsible to their own life and able to take care of themselves.

I am so grateful that I am able to travel around the world, seeing difference culture, meeting great peoples, having a best meals, and living an happy life.

I have perfect health, I listen to my body messages with love and know that if I am experiencing pain, there is something I need to know and to work on.

5) Write awareness Journal..... with new choice and appreciation.

I choose Love, I choose Life and I choose Joy!!

I believe that prosperity of every kind is drawn to me.

Life is a joy filled with delightful surprises!

Your presence contribute to the world!

Lots of peoples think that they have to do something BIG, so they are able to contribute to the community or the world. By just a authentic "smile" to the stranger, appreciate to peoples the help you, maybe in the air tickets counter, toll station, public toilet, you already make their day!!

Your presence is a present to the world.
You are unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you love it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You will make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Do not put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak & intention, not your goal and status.

Nothing wastes more energy than keep worrying.
The longer carries a problem the heavier it gets.
Do not take things too personally.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that true love … goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life’s treasure are people together.

Realize that it is never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take the time to appreciate life beginning of the day

AND DO NOT EVER FORGET …... How SPECIAL you are!

THE SAINT, THE SURFER, AND THE CEO – Robin Sharma

I read this book long time ago “The Saint, The Surfer and the CEO” By Robin Sharma, So impress that there is a lot of things that we have been learned in CV, and the way he interpret it in difference way.  And again it reminds me of what I learned from CV.

I got about this 20 key lesson to share with all of you….

Just finishing the Chapter 1 – New Beginning

1) The buying of more books that one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity, and this passion is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish.

2) Relationship comes to us as assignments. Some last for weeks, Some for a lifetime – but they all come to teach us big lessons that are meant to spur our growth as people.

3) Our Highest responsibility is to do our own interior work. To examine yourself and get to know the real you – your true self – and all you are as a human being is the central aim of life. Genuine success in life is an inside job.

4) The greatest gifts of life are the inner gifts that are only revealed to those with the courage to look beyond the surface of their lives.

5) Final Questions in Life: Did I live wisely? Did I Love well? And Did I serve greatly?

6) We are born to present is a gifts to the world, but they way that set up before we can shine as a person, we have to choose to do some inner work, getting to know yourself, look at our limiting beliefs and recreate them, analyze the false assumptions about what you can be, have and do as a person and then set about correcting them, become aware of our historical patterns of reacting in the different scenarios of your life and re-create them, Tackle your fear and move through , then open up your heart and be more concerned about the happiness of other people and ourselves.

7) Most of us deny our feelings. Society has taught us to do that. From a young age, we divorce ourselves from the way we feel. We’re told not to cry, we’re told not to laugh too loud, and we’re told that it’s wrong to feel sad or even to experience anger. But our feelings are neither right nor wrong – they’re simply our feelings and an essential part of the human experience.

8) If we deny our feeling and we begin to shut down part of ourselves and will lose the connection to whom we truly are. Beginning living completely in our head and we will stop feeling.

9) Our mind is a nonstop chattering machine and we have no inner peace. So we stopped living in the present moment and feeling what it’s like to be fully alive, and become too busy living in the past or future. Mind rarely lives in the present moment.

10) Old Saying goes, “ When the student is ready. The teacher appears.”

11) Many of us are stuck. We don’t believe in the great dreams we had as kids anymore, we don’t believe we have the power to create the lives we want. We don’t think that we can really make a difference by the things we do.”

12) We have phenomenal power within us; we’ve just lost our connection to it. Part of the reason for this is fear. The possibilities available to us in our lives are truly miraculous. The wonders we have the potential to create in our lives. Once we align with the force of nature, are astounding – They really are. But all this potential also brings with it certain responsibilities and this frightens us. So we don’t believe in ourselves. We deny our power and set up blocks the achievement of the extraordinary lives that we’re meant to lead.

13) An enlightenment goal that every person should strive for is INNER LEADERSHIP.

14) Leadership is all about personal responsibility, self-discovery, and creating value in the world by the people we become.

15) Too many spend their lifetime blaming others for all that isn’t working in their lives. Blaming others for the current quality of your life is a sad way to live. In doing so, all you’re doing is playing the victim.

16) The only way to life your life to the next level is to act like a leader and assume real leadership over your life. The moment you look in the mirror and say to yourself, from the deepest place within you, “ For my life to change, I must change” – that’s the moment you’ll grow up and walk through a doorway that will lead you to your best life.”

17) We get our Power back as we assume responsibility for the destiny that has been presented you us. Stop resisting our life and accept what is. Aligned ourselves with those immutable laws of nature, laws that have always governed the way the life works, from the beginning of time.

18) Reflection is the mother of wisdom.

19) ”If I have seen father than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.”- Isaac Newton.

20) Everything appeal in your life is meant to be, that’s just the way the world works,”……… Life truly is beautiful!! 

想你的时刻－ 辛福的味道

今天在萱萱（我的小妹）的Facebook看到这一个短文，很多的感动，想必这也是他对爸爸的表达方式。谢谢萱萱，好棒的短文。

在此和你们分享：

下過雨的藍天 . 彩虹浮現你的臉 . 那是小時候 . 被你抱著來到海邊 . 海風很鹹 . 幸福很甜 . 寬闊的肩 . 任我撒嬌又賴又黏 . 孤單單的黑夜 . 星星映照你雙眼 那是你走後 . 望著窗外孤枕難眠 . 眼淚很鹹 . 幸福走味 . 回憶無限 . 只能透過字裡行間 . 你離開的那一天 . 匆忙間 . 來不及說再見 . 失去你的這几天 . 沒改變 . 數不完的思念 . 是玩笑還是考驗 . 我們緣分那麼淺 . 好想許一個願 . 讓我再見你一面 . 要一個有你的永遠 .

这是姐姐写给爸爸的：

那是小时侯，美丽的傍晚，骑着你的电单车， 抱着你的腰围，依赖着你的背部，这是我和你的约会，辛福的看电影。

不久前的今天，你到机场迎接我，一样是美丽的傍晚，你做在车上唱歌给我听，这是我和你的空间，辛福的时刻。

清晨的日出， 我和你在医院里，你拂摸着我的头发，轻声的要我去休息，这是我和你的沟通，辛福的回忆。

刚下过雨的傍晚，你的离开彷佛是一场梦，很多的思念，我选择活的更好，更充实。因为这是送给你最辛福的礼物。

BE STRONG

This journal writing to myself and my father, I am in KK right now, just received a phone call from my brother, my dad is really go through his painful time of his physical health issue, my mother not sleeping for 3 days, everybody is the family is helpless and my aunt is taking charge now, I truly trust her and support her as i know I am not there, I can't do anything, but I go through my emotional moment. As I am human too...... I need to keep on breathing. believing that he will go through it and he will be strong! 

I am listen to "reflection of love" music from CV, to let myself calm down.  I feel lots of love flow into my heart, doing the inhale & exhale excises taught by teacher Linda, inhale the unconditional love "Pink" colour, inhale "blue" as the healing colour. and exhale the grey colour. I do that for a while, it is really help. To allow myself back to present and be calm and understand what is going on right now.  At this moment, instead of jogs my journal, I felt like give myself a special message here. Trust universe, trust my dad, he will be stronger. Thank you for all the blessing and love. I believe he will be getting better. 

Just reading a wonderful message by George Chin, whose use to be comedian  in 1980. Here is the message, hope you enjoyed it......and inspiring by the message.

Spend some time with your love one, 

because they are not going to be around forever.

REMEMBER to give a warm HUG to the one next to you,

because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

REMEMBER to hold a hand and cherish the moment,

for someday that person will not be there again.

REMEMBER to say " I LOVE YOU: to your partner and your loved one, 

but most of all mean it.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt, when it comes from deep inside you.

Give time to love,

Give time to Speak.

Give time to share.

The precious thought in your mind and always REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

it is measured by the moments that take our breath away!

CV Kidz Blog

Hello everyone!! Wow amazing!! This is the word that best describe CV Kids Blog, and I believe it is a most popular CV Blog right now. 

I am one of their big Fan, all the article is so inspiring, the most important is I felt they really express authentically, with beautiful picture some more!! I learn a lots from this blog and enjoyed it very much, I believe you will enjoyed too, www.cvkidz.blogspot.com.

Here is one of the acticle by Natalie, Sarah, Nana.

Natalie: Before CV, I used to read the WHOLE day. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. I read 2 quarters of a day, at least. I read about 200 books a year, if my calculations are correct.
What's wrong with that? Well, reading too much consumes a LOT of your time, especially when the book is so enthralling that you can't bear to put it down. My family was always nagging me to put down the book, and take a look at what is behind those pages, to spend time with them. (My sister and brother had this serious opposition against books then) Stories can be real or pure fiction, but either way it is NOT real for you. It may be real for the author, but not for you. Sorry to disappoint you, but reading too much doesn't necessarily help you gain knowledge. Everything has to be in balance.

Sarah: Before CV, I, like Natalie, was also a bookworm. That time, only my father went to CV. He is almost like begging me too put MY book down, or take my eyes off the TV. Whenever he took the book in my hand away, I always have a spare one on my chair, just in case. He asked me why I would want to read while eating. I used this excuse : rice is so boring to look at. But now I know that that time, I just wanted to ESCAPE. Escape from questions that my family may ask. That time, I used to hate CV because I thought CV is separating my father from us. But after I came to CV, I found out that CV actually pulls our relationship close. Although sometimes I still do read or watch TV while eating, we began having lively talks at dinner. One of the reasons we didn't do that before CV is because my father works so hard that he doesn't have time to have dinner with us. But CV truly changed his life. Now, he makes some space in his work so that he can have dinner with us. Even if he can't catch up with dinner ( since sometimes he comes home at about 8 something at night ), I still talk to him after I get ready, though it is not exactly like what we do in CV ( not even like what we do at the dinner table ), I don't mind. Being able to talk with my father, even for a short period of time, I feel good, really good. Well, I guess that it's right to say that nothing beats your family. No, I don't guess, I am 100% sure.

Nana: Hi, I am Nana. I am Natalie's sister. And my sister loves reading, but I am different. I love much other things. Thats why everybody is special in their own way.
I wrote an e-mail to my CV3 classmates and other people that I admire the most and love the most, and Linda even talked about it (in the bridge call). Wow! I can't believe it that such little things can make a whole difference. Cool! So I want to share what CV brought me.
First of all,they taught me that you shouldn't keep waiting until you regret because in my CV3 I don't want to share. I waited until the last day of CV ( The last day that I can see my classmates of CV3 ) then I only really go and share with my heart, without thinking . Haha...
Second of all ,is that you don't have to think to share what you feel because that sentence: 'What do you FEEL like Sharing' doesn't meant quickly think of what to share. You know that you need to use your heart to share. That is very important because on the last day of CV3 a classmate of mine asked me to tell her what I was going to say, and I answered that I don't need to think. She told me what she was going to say. I think she really gave me that strong awareness. Haha...
So now just till here cant go to far cause there is more coming up.
Love,Nana

Natalie: Other than being a read-a-holic, I had what I thought was shyness. I'd cower behind my parents when any guests came, when i was younger. Just before CV, when I was around 10 years old, I'd pretend that I was doing something else, or just hide. What it really was is this 'illness' called No-self-esteem-itis. I always had these visions that I'd screw up on every move in front of others. It must be some painful moment in the past that made me that way. I wonder what it is...maybe I hid it in myself. When I went to primary one, I could easily tell that I was way ahead of my classmates...but I didn't dare to actually show it. My English was better, because I went to an English kindergarten, but my Chinese was partially rotten. 
So every day at school was very painstaking; I tried to suppress myself, not showing what I can do. I faked that my English is at the same level as theirs, and my Chinese is as good as them. No such luck. Teachers kind of see through you. They KNOW when you are faking, and when you are genuine. Do they teach that in teacher training courses? So they were praising me about my talents, and everyone was looking up to me. Sure, you think I enjoyed it. NOT! It was very very embarrassing for me back then. All these parents asking me questions, classmates borrowing my homework... All very overwhelming for a little girl. But after CV, I feel much more confident and I know how to deal with this...popularity. :)
We truly hope our perspectives help you.
Love,
Nat, Sarah & Nana
