It is Not What is Happening about You, it is What Happening within You

Have I experienced someone whom I have helped to think differently, make more gains and then cast sand into my rice bowl?
Have I experienced turning the business processes the right side up, and then being shown the exit door wide open?
Have I not thought deeply about short or long term prospect over a relationship, and gathered the courage to go for the short term pain that cost me?
Have I not made mistakes that stirred regrets and guilts within my heart?
I am a man of weakness.
I am a man of strength.
I am a man of brokenness.
I am a man of blessed brokenness.
Yes, i am a man of blessed brokenness.

Life is not fair.
What is the big deal about life is not fair?
What is the shape of the earth?
Is it a level ground all over the earth?
When we rethink, it is a fact that the earth has no level ground.
It is an illussion.
Since the earth is unlevel,
the world is never flat.
So, life is on the level ground,
it depends on:
Why we think how we think?

Why do i say blessed brokenness?
What is the other side of blessed brokenness?
Bittered brokenness, which lead us no way forward.

What is blessed brokenness?
It is about seeing one's life challenges, unfair level groud as a reminder about:

• our humanity
• our humility
• our resources
• our strength
• our passsion

In life, in early life we have been taught: We win. We lost.
Yet in life, there is only winning and learning,
when we learn, we earn,
that is blessed brokenness.

When we place our brokenness under the blessings,
we transpose the brokenness into betterment of ourselves
and turning it into one of the stones that allow us to stand higher, see futher and soar higher.

What is blessed brokenness?
In a specific condition, 4 - 1 = 5
Then you will see power of placing brokenness under the blessings.

4 - 1 = 5?

Lost Time

As we look back, there is a tendency to lament over the lost time in our lives.
Tears.
Anger.
Regret.
Guilt.

Whatever the reasons, let us choose to free our heart, soul and mind from the emotional hangups associated with 'lost time'.
Let the inspiring memories before the 'lost time' occured stay with our hearts, let them move us forward to treasure the time now and then.
We cry out, "I wish to turn back the clock."
Put it away.
Put on the cry, "I will learn to gain time."
How do gain time?
Learn about oursevles from the past 'lost time', asking:
What did I do well?
What I can do better?
What lessons did i learn?

When we learn to do better, we will gain time, and the time gained will wash away the pain of lost time.

Because we learn to treasure time,
we treasure life,
we treasure our loved ones,
and we make time for them,
then we have joyful memories of the 'gain time', which slowly erodes the pain, the regret, the guilt of the 'lost time'.
There are 'lost time' that will stay with us, yet let us transform the pain of such times for the good of those you love,
and those loving you.
They are here now.
The lost time is in the past.
You are here now.
Why on earth you are living in the 'lost time'?
Live in the present, now.
We can make a change now, for tomorrow.
So, go forth to gain time,
and make time for those you love,
for they love you too.
Now.
Today.
This moment.
Present.

Feelings. Choices. Mindset. Action.

Today.
Yes, today.
Tears, like the broken dam
gushing forth.
Pain cut through my soul,
as i pull the fiery darts out of my heart,
as if my heart is going to bleed unceasingly,
as if my heart is going to be weakened,
as if my heart is losing its life...
i thought so.
Yet when each dart is pulled off of my heart,
my heart felt relief,
the very place is healed, and restored.
And then, i pulled out another dart,
the same happens...
In hindsight,
i have believed in a lie,
the lie of darkness,
that kept me in the darkness,
for so many years,
many, many years.

Today, as the darts are pulled out,
i gain strength,
to move on ahead,
to a new venture,
new beginning,
new dawning,
to create a beautiful life for the days ahead.

Readers,
when we walk through the shadows,
some may experience what i have gone through.
I encourage:
Do not fear.
Do not lose heart.
Keep going.
Hope arises.
And the light will dawn,
yes,
morning light will dawn upon your heart,
soul,
mind and strength
and you know
Yes, you know,
you have what it takes within you to go on,
go forward,
go forth,
into the Light.

Face the Shadows

Face the shadows,
Call them by their names,
Walk through them,
Yes,
Walk through them,
Keeping your eyes focus on the light,
the little light
however dim it is
It is the Light that will shine brighther
when we focus on that light.
Let the voices of the darkness pass away,
Attend to the Voice that calling your forth into the Light,
Yes, the Voice calls for you,
Yes, you can hear,
when you listen with your heart,
though it seems too far away,
yet the Voice is always near your heart,
it is we who are too far away from that Voice of Light
Stay focus on the Light

Yes, face the shadows,
walk through the fears,
Yes, take the bull by its horn
Yet, let the light within shines
as you believe
as hope rising
and you will see the dawn of light
in the days ahead.

You ask, "When?"
You know it when the Light has dawned upon you.
Face the shadows,
run towards it
lift up your sword of truth,
pierce the darkness
with the Light of life,
and you will never be the same again.
