Our Inner Voice

I’ve been gone for a few months, not posting and not logging in. I didn’t feel lazy or not wanting to write, but I felt like something was holding me back. I tried to examine this feeling, and realize I was judging myself and felt guilt. Guilty that I haven’t post anything regularly, guilty that I still don’t know what I was doing after my year-long break from work, and guilty that I maybe slowly walking away from my journey.

Well, luckily I was strong enough to keep myself going, and things started to fall into the right places and I feel more at peace now. I would like to continue on this journey, and I’m back to writing and sharing more information and experiences.

About my work status, I started freelancing back in Nov last year and this opportunity turned into a part time role. With much thinking and my conscious mind trying to hold me back, I was able to break out of it and just let myself go with it, and this opportunity is turning into a full time role. This position just felt right, and I feel so blessed and grateful for it.

Suddenly things just seemed more aligned for me. The job itself is interesting and I feel that I can learn a lot from it. It is not one of those crazy jobs that require long hours, so it definitely allows me to have a lot of “me-time” to continue with my spiritual work. It also just came in time to support me financially so that I can continue going to workshops for self-improvements and self-growth.

My inner self is telling me that I need to do this and keep writing. Perhaps this is also a way for me to grow and learn, we’ll see. My intention for now for this blog is to continue contributing more learnings and share more experiences to hopefully shed light on others that’s on the same path, or even just to attract more like-minded people to read and share.

That’s it for now, a lot more to come…

My friend shared this with me, and I just have to share it here. It’s so true, and unfortunately reminds me so much of my dad!

The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most, he said “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Got it from here

I just watched 3 Idiots tonight, it is so good that I must blog about it right away. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an inspiring movie. It is both inspirational and motivational, with powerful positive messages throughout the movie. The movie touched on friendship, love, mystery, and comedy. I was deeply moved, laughed, cried, all in just 3 hours. It was a joy to watch, and I would like to recommend it to anyone that didn’t watch it yet because it is THAT good.

This movie had many great quotes, my favorite one used throughout the movie is “Aal izz well (All is well).” When you come across any problems in life, simply tell your heart “All is well.”

Another favorite quote was “Pursue excellence, and success will follow.” I won’t go into this and let you watch it, but I’m sure you’ll be very inspired by this quote as well.

Some of the lessons I’ve learned from this movie is to follow your heart and inner guidance, chase your dream and make whatever you love your profession, and fear stops you from moving forward, one should focus on present and not worry about the future.

The movie definitely made me think how some of the messages can apply to my life. I’m a big worrier, so I can relate to the message on fear. I felt so much lighter after watching this movie. From now on, whenever I face fears or worries, I will tell myself the new affirmation I just learned, “All is well!”
