God is everywhere. God is You… In You… Around You… Outside of You… And in God, there is You! Do you “get” that? In other words, God is absolutely everything. Not just some external “figure”. When we embrace this Knowing; Connecting and Becoming becomes much easier. _/|\_

Everything is in the attitude of the mind. You can be happy in the midst of sadness, positive in the center of negativity, wealthy in the bleakness of poverty… How you CHOOSE to accept situations and things, is up to you. You can also CHANGE your attitude in an instant. So, if you are feeling downcast with your current situation, seek joy in the smallest thing(s) and build on it until you are radiating complete joy and Divine Love. _/|\_

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled:
“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled & said:
“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”
“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would U calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily
The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”
“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,
“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If U have any question, ask the nurse!!”
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”
Moral of the story: Never judge anyone….. because You never know how their life is & what they’re going through”

When you love Self, you are also loving God. When you love God, you are loving Self. This is because we are each an embodiment of God’s energy. Our Soul’s are a part of the great Divine; therefore, when we truly love Self, we become at One with God.” ~ Leyla Hur

You are love. Your very essence is made up of infinite love. So love others, and love your Self, then love others as you love yourSelf. There should be no difference in the love you have for Self and the love you have for others. When you completely embody love, nothing but love can reach you, because you will see everything through the eyes of love, and with that comes absolute acceptance.

I would like to speak about the Divine DNA.
What is this Divine DNA that I often speak about? And how does it affect each of us?
To answer this, it is important that I delve into many religions, and spiritual, belief that “we are all created in the image of God”. And so, we have to also ask, if this is true, why do we all look different and not the same? Why are there people of varying colours on this world? If we were all some Master Race, created after the image of a Central Being, wouldn’t we all look the same, act the same, like the same things, and have the same thoughts, like some robotic nation?

Life is so fragile, so short. Age is a meaningless number.
Today, I lost a friend of mine who I’d known since I was in high-school in Hong Kong. He was a few years younger than me, an almost inconceivable notion to accept that he is no longer among us. A few weeks ago, another good friend of mine passed away. She was much older, but like I said, age does not matter. Life is life.
We are so focused on the here and the now, and we weep with the loss of those who go before us. And while their presence is no longer here in persona, their energy and “life” continues on. Their adventure has only just started, and what an adventure that is.
For those of us “left behind” on this spinning rock, we must make the most out of every minute, and create our adventure each and every moment of each day.
We need to focus on living and not focus on the negatives that hit us and hold us down/back.
Does it really matter that someone you love said something that offended you? Would it be so important if they were to go in the next few minutes?
Each time I am faced with the loss of someone I love dearly, it just fortifies me to love stronger, deeper, forgive more readily, accept unconditionally, and always make sure I let those I love know their worth to me, my appreciation of them, and how much I love them.
In the end, when we sit back and look at all the “little things” that have “piled up”, they truly are only our Selves building mountains out of grains of sand. These “mountains” will dissipate with the storm of loss. So why hold on to those mountains, continue adding to them, at times burying ourselves under them? Just let go.
Release the negativity, the anger, the annoyance… It doesn’t really matter. It’s almost never “that” huge, and living a life where you can truly LIVE and let go and let God, will reduce much stress in your own life, and may possibly prolong your life.
Rest in peace my dear friends and loved ones who have departed. Your lessons have been etched upon my soul, and I pledge to remember them.
I am filled with gratitude and love for all of you who are in my life, even if you only read my updates, “Like” something, or make a comment here and there, you each mean so much to me, and I want to extend my gratitude and love for you all.
Namaste_/|\_

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves ‘who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

When I fall into the illusion that I am faced with a problem, when I am confronted with the myth that the problem I’m facing might even be a huge, big problem that will not be easy to solve, I say this prayer: Thank you, God, for helping me to understand that this problem has already been solved for me. Sure enough, before too much time goes by, the solution presents itself. It was always there; it turns out I simply needed to pay attention to it. The outcome that we wish suddenly manifests itself in our reality, and the truth is, none of those things suddenly appeared. It is we who have suddenly appeared on the scene where they existed always.
