Gratitude shapes contentment

We're born into this world, given one lifetime.
We decide our lives, lead them and face the music.
Until death we often ponder the meaning behind this lifetime.
Why are we here?
What are we to do on Earth?
It all depends on every individual to think about their lives' purposes.
It's time to look within, the pure heart and mind are the book of life.
Life is not meant for us to just enjoy.
The world provides us to feel true happiness & peace because enjoyment is pleasure.
Pleasure is impermanent and fluctuating.
Happiness is permanent, silent and abstract.
It is not caught by sight.
You eat an ice-cream, you feel pleasure, not happiness
It does not come and go like waves.
It stays in heart & mind, within each one of us, felt not sighted by oneself.

Life itself is not complex. It's just people who complicate it.
When bad times come, they are just bad moments we choose to come in.
What do we do then?

Life is not merely waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Never avoid or fear misfortunes, face them gladly.
Later, we'll realise that the value of every misfortune will appear to be priceless.
What we get is experience when we don't get something we would honourably accept

Let us rise up and be thankful,
For if we didn't learn a lot today,
At least we learned a little,
And if we didn't learn a little,
At least we didn't get sick,
And if we got sick,
At least we didn't die,
So let us all be thankful.

-Buddha-

Life is like a road.
Do we just walk it through until the end?
Walking with no meaning is indeed meaningless.
Why just walk straight blindly until the end destination?
Keep in mind,
Life is a journey, not a destination.

Open up the heart & mind when walking the road of life.
The rocks of danger provide a chance for wisdom.

Living a life without knowing where your feet are taking you creates uncertainty
Expecting the others to handle your feet,
Hate/blame the surroundings when things go wrong,
We should all stand on our feet, create our own world for the good of others and ourselves.

Peace requires a simple life.
Simple as in free from worries.
Worry worry worry...
It makes the present moment non-existent and wasteful.
The future never comes when one never stop worrying.
The material world can drown us into a lot of delusions, addiction, uncertainty, fear and depression mostly. All are linked.
The unreal world has become reality now.

Understanding that gain in material or status is not most important after all.
They are impermanent.
Craving and prioritizing them in life will increase our sense of self (selfishness)
Everything revolves around I, I, I, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine..
Diminish the sense of self, prevent from being self-centered in every way.

Geared up for an awakening life?
Yes, leave unreality and explore the world's beautiful mystery.
Alive here on earth is more than enough than anything you'd want.
Gratitude for being alive.
Gratitude for everything in this world,
Gratitude for whatever that comes,
Gratitude to have learned so much in this realm.

Thank you
Much love for everyone and everything in this world <3
Life's beautifully wondrous.
Exploring the invisible and admiring at how all abstracts work have been a great world.
With metta :)

Time slows down

Here are a few beautiful pictures of nature taken in New South Wales.


The water flow reminds me of time.
Time does not fade, freeze, stop and replay.
As it flows down, its motion is forever continuous
And if you were to put a leaf on the surface,
It follows the flow without knowing where it's heading to,
Thinking that there's no end?
Time is endless but life is short,
Some presume that they have all the time in the world;
Thus, 'Neglecting the appreciation of life's beauty'
Every moment just fades away till death?
Find meaning in every tic
It's for us to find out.
Find the purpose of life.
Don't wait till you reach the 50s while proclaiming life is with less meaning.


Is life about looking and experiencing beautiful things?
Partially but NO because ... what about the least favourable ones? i.e. Not good/unhealthy/disturbing
This world is originally created with beauty
It's just that people make it complicated hence finding it difficult to be at peace
Feel that every move you take makes a difference, change and mostly allows you to feel thankful
Be glad to experience all sorts of unusually intriguing thoughts;
Wisdom, the key to success

Nature versus man-made
It feels amazing to get in touch with nature

Always find light and you will shine
Life can sometimes be difficult but you can make it easy
Look around and within yourself
Know who you are
Get on and pursue it
Every human being has the capacity for evil but
Each of us are born innocent, naturally good
It's the environment that affects us
That's why being STRONG and WISE give great importance to everyone
It's all the mental job that counts
Train your mind in every way
You find life a mess because your mind is a mess
Black or white, good or bad, up or down,
It's safe when you have a peace of mind

Can you imagine those colours of the sky?
Ah, beautiful isn't it?
This world is meant for us to explore
It's beauty is just more than words
Feel lucky to be born into this world
Appreciate this lifetime
We're grateful enough to be alive ;)
