Being the painter of life

We see a blossomed flower as beautiful

But it doesn't last long for it wilts with passing days

Beauty is gone

Is that the end?

Is there anymore hope when it dies off?

There isn't only one flower in this world

One dies, another different one grows

Life events come and go like see waves

If our mind is like the wide ocean;

despite strong waves,

its depth underneath still undisturbed

Regardless of the mad world we live in

We see the world as a

beautiful and pleasant place to live in

because we don't let the world revolve around us,

we control our mind to shape the world we live in

In the picture above, it could be a flower or a butterfly.

Yet, it looks the same.

"Open your arms to change but don't give up your values"

Change always occurs in life

Change is by renewing thoughts

Having to produce so many thoughts that are ever-changing,

We let them go

But sometimes we hold onto some of them

Those in the end, shape our character

Those that become strong in our mind

CHANGE

In the end, it is the values you will get

"When you realise you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it"

The World you want is in your hands.

That's the truth.

No matter how awful you fall one day,

you'll learn how to get up

The end is always a new beginning

The World everyone wants;

Peace, love and happiness

To get there, we somehow have to find light in the darkness we're in

and to avoid going into the dark hole when we embrace light

COMPASSION

Love everything you see, feel and encounter

Welcome your problems

Deal with them with love

Love them and they'll be easy for you

Meaning, not getting negatively overwhelmed by them will ensure a stable flow.

Love the people who relate to your problems because

They are the ones who make you stronger

Be thankful instead

Through all sorts of ordeal, there's an open door

It's your will to "see the shine behind every dark cloud"

Again,

COMPASSION FOR YOURSELF & OTHERS

It's all within you. Find it and you will know it.

Buddha quotes

"There is only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth;

not going all the way and not starting"

Self-consciousness

Thoughts can be vicious because they cloud your mind and then leaving you to let that unaware mind control your life.

Worrisome, uncertainty, fear and insecurity all come from mere thoughts.

Thoughts are just thoughts.

The twist is that they have to ability to be attached to your vulnerable mind and later, becomes you; your "identity". Truth is, that's not who you really are but only what you are.

What you think, you become. Your life's a reflection on everything on your mind; thoughts.

So you can't change your life if you don't change your mind. You are the start of all changes.

Can't stop thinking so much? It's alright to have thoughts but make sure they pass away after a while; not holding onto the mind anymore because thoughts might cause you to dwell into unnecessary emotions. Negative ones are like pollutants to your true being.

Sometimes, you don't know when your mind is out of control (unconscious) until it's finally in peace (conscious). Remorse for instance, is a type of unconscious to conscious thinking. Want to live life without regrets? You can live a happy and peaceful one if you first understand that by 'reorganizing' your thoughts, then 'purifying' your mind and finally 'strengthening' your inner-being. Free from clinging onto negative thoughts & emotions and welcoming positive ones. The more negative something is, the tougher it is to attain positivity. The more positivity someone has, the tougher it is to be drowned into negativity.

Thoughts are inevitable. Pretty sure we all have numerous thoughts on people, our own life, ourselves and the world today. Just take an example that someone out there is now feeling dissatisfied on how people are or how they affect him. Thus, leaving a conclusion that life's not treating him well and is always unfair. His thoughts are causing a whole bunch of unnecessary negative emotions. He's greatly attached to the worldly surroundings; people and things. If he were to change his thoughts, the body, mind and soul would be unshaken by all the unexpected worldly surroundings, not easily affected.

Like the days, they come and go. Everything is impermanent.

Thoughts come and go too but some of you might have been holding on to some thoughts relating to your past life events. Knowing that you still have to let them go and move on having new thoughts like how days work, your mind doesn't dwell in the past.

Patience is always worth the effort because time is never too late as long as you're still alive.

However, NOW is the time to clarify and some adjustments in your current life

if you just want to feel peace & happiness, nothing else.

Feel gratitude as your place on Earth is an ultimate gift.

Won't you feel extreme gladness when every step you take in life is worth doing?

Think of anyone in hot soup. Do what you can for his/her good.

If you're the one's in hot soup, do something for yourself. Help yourself. Pick yourself up.

Anything positive is worth doing. :)

Reshape your thoughts like clay.

Have a nice day peeps!

With metta, :) :)

Life is nothing without love

World peace is the basis of how great our lives are now

Yes, be thankful.

Some parts of the world might not be in peace yet but let's us hope for a better world

A place where everyone lives as ONE

We should all say, act and do things that will not harm ourselves and the others physically, and emotionally.

So, what is LOVE?

It's not romantic love I'm talking about

It's ..Compassion, selflessness, care for every living thing on earth

No hatred amongst all

No judgements

No discrimination

Lastly, No violence

When you're in Love with yourself, you will love every moment in your life

Your days are not wasted, life doesn't suck anymore

People will see through your warmth and take it for themselves

Loving yourself is not an ego subject

Because love isn't ego, it's something unselfish

When you have a friend who takes trouble as a foe,

tell them it's your friend

It will follow you everywhere you go.

All he/she needs is your love

If you love them, do what you can do to improve the stitches

Eventually, you'll feel a sense of relief & peace when you see someone turning over a new leaf

Love your enemy

Love everyone on earth

:D

:D

"Believe in love - It's supreme"

Trust life, trust yourself, take your time, love is patience

Romantic love rhymes the same too

It takes a lot of patience

True love comes with fate

not forced, not pushed, not touched

it's FELT, embraced

Unrequited love is bias yet the feeling hurts more than it's not suppose to

If you long for true love, let it come to you

Don't go seeking for a mate to love

Open your heart :D

Let it flow. You will know what I mean

Sometimes it's funny when you start to smile right after weeping

Tears of joy? Not really.

It's tears of gratitude I'd say

I'm thankful to live with what I have now

Even if I'm "far out of the sea" or "close in the summer daylight"

I'll learn what I don't know

I'll explore the impossible

I'll live in the moment

I want to appreciate every little bittersweet thing

Maybe this place is the right choice

As I've never laughed so much before

Nevertheless, I'm still the same

I still miss what's not here

Friends pass away:that's true

Memories don't

Well, I understand the impermanence of life

"We were best friends and we're not anymore"

"We were lovers and we're not anymore"

Yes, I understand clearly.

I wept but started to smile later on

When things don't go your way, just accept it

It's how you accept life

If you accept joy, you have to accept sorrow

If you pass this hurdle, you'll be wiser and stronger

Remember, the more you tremble, the less you crumble

"Away they have gone

to a far land

no longer to come again

never to hold my hand

all that now remains

are lovely unwashed memories

which are like footprints on sand"

HERE and NOW

Everything is different

It's funny when I try to think about it

My senses have changed

My perceptions

My goals

My instincts

My lovely friends

I don't have the same friends anymore

Friendships don't last but it's possible to last long

Depends on how much you value friendship

=)

Payback

Freezing your smile

After you walked a mile

Carried rocks till now

Thought came across in a while

Ringing, vibrating like a crowd

Forming new vision of art

Predicted the dart to be sharp

Amateur finds the heart

Then expectations grew from guts

Tough ground became soft

Bound to be lost

As you are your boss

Track on the source

Tougher, ready for shots

With the ground or not

Life not like God

It's a funny cloud

Every second counts

Bad days come and go

Escape is a no

Understand is the goal

If one could fathom the meaning of everyday life

Bad days become challenging

Complaints don't exist

Patience is persisted

When good days come people forget

What bad days teach them

They tend to procastinate

Wake up calls emerge from bad atmosphere

Chances can either be grabbed or flown away

Your choice to lead the way

Your hands to take and keep it

If one is at peace when bad times occur

Life is never remorseful

Nothing is impossible if you believe

Things you do reflect who you are

Who you are makes what you'll become

No matter how well you've become

WHO YOU REALLY ARE is the peak

Living without treachery and deceit erase worries

It's our onus to find our way of peaceful living in order to complete the incomplete

Peace cannot be obtained.

It's just like happiness.

It's already within your soul that hasn't started to flare

Being with only yourself starts the mission

Then slowly, you and The Divine/Universe

This feeling will go far

It doesn't make you feel good nor bad

It's just emptiness/peace/gratitude

From here, happiness is the treasure

The moment is never later

NOW

Be determined for clarity first

Then, you will know what's most important right now

Not about the past but now

Which now gives you your future

NOW NOW NOW

Just do it now

Be positive & courageous

EXPRESS.LAUGH.REMEMBER

Today was fabulously great because I laughed A LOT!

Danced and made noise during "Big Noise" event

Just came back after watching Alice In The Wonderland 3D

Yes, $22. hmm. Shopped a little before that

Clothes here are my food

When it's my birthday I just want clothes for my b'day present :)

Tomorrow, it's the Amazing Race!

Of course I'm EXCITED

Winner gets extra 2 Gigs a month for 3 months (each member in a group)

Group name's elephant. LOL!

We'll do our best!! =)

Time of My Life

Reach for the sky when you're on the ground

New things teach you great lessons

Mistakes open various opportunities

The only thing that can do it right is your eternal flame

Life never fails, never bad if you look inside

Peace prevailing, Happiness pouring

That's all.

Contented & grateful

The bad past can give you strength in a wise way

The good future relies on your wisdom & courage

Yes, I love life. Not my own life but LIFE!

Sometimes my heart melts

Knowing that I'm being blessed and lucky

After someone put a bomb right in my heart

No one's at fault

Blameless, faultless and fateless

The other way round, I would want to thank the person who bombed my heart

Thank you so much

Without you breaking it, I wouldn't taste life's beauty & gain strength

One of my principles: When something awful happens now, there is always great chances for you to explore for the latter.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! To the people who have helped me through roadblocks.
Thanks to Lord Buddha for teaching me the way

With metta,

:)
