For A New Beginning

Happy February guys, second month of the 2020 already, woooww!!! Time went fast when you are having fun aye.

John O'Donohue is one of my favourites writer. I genuinely love his insights and his relationship with the words.

Check it out one of his englightening poem

For a New Beginning

 In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...

Who Am I?

You are what you captured, read and listen. Last year after I completed my degree, I have lots of time in my hand. I have had spent most on my relax time on social media such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. I received heaps of news and information from these three platforms only. All these information spread on social media have changed my MBTI personality from the Defender ISFJ to the Advocate INFJ; from the protective, warm and caring to the mystical and idealist. In 2019, I was so bloody active on promoting good causes and good news, increase the awareness of the people on the latest issues that happened around the world, pass on some petitions, greetings people, give comments, give likes to people post, get involved in online discussion, joined international group, etc. My friend also mentioned about the trend of social justice warrior, and how common it is among us millennials. With the advancement in technology, the search engines algorithms on the internet help us to pick t...

The Gateway to All Understanding

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Tao The Ching Chapter 1
