And all the children echoed, yesss!  Hold on, we all don’t know the story… Romans 10:14 KJV “How then shall they call on him whom they have not believed?

Human nature has it way of trying to defend itself, to stand on a safer side. That where our inferiority complex sets in. I'm not all that good, yeah I admit. I learnt the lesson of being a better me through the different people I have encountered and I  have began to right my wrongs.  2018 was a great year because I made myself more vulnerable. Lesson: Dont be scared of giving everything a trial; love, hatred, business, exercise, singing, praying, reaching out and the likes. You will be surprised how great you can do. The fact remains that life continues, will you still go with the status quo?or set out a new leaf, it's high time we changed the modus vivendi and try out on new things. Things that set you at pace, different factors that keeps you focus, why not begin to set achievable goals, and not just a penned down paper goals or mare muttering. I once told myself goals written down help to set the process in motion. Goals ain't just achieved by setting ...

Are Humans Built to Be Happy? These days, the concept of happiness seems ever-present on our minds. We reflect on the things that give us joy and how to incorporate more of it into our lives. We talk about how to deal with mental disorders and depression. We battle isolation, criticism, and negativity on a regular basis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 4 percent of the world’s population suffers from depression. Global economic losses amount to over $1 trillion a year due to decreased productivity. When people become fatigued or stressed, they find it hard to resolve problems at work and in the home. If we’re so obsessed with happiness, why are we so unhappy? Our Obsession with Happiness Ironically, our happy-oriented culture could be the source of our unhappiness. In one study, three groups of participants were asked to solve a set of problems. One group was led to the “happy room”, which was filled with books on happiness...

* Salt -VS- Rice * If you were to cook 3 cups of rice, would you add 3 cups of salt to it? Certainly not ! So, in every preparation of rice, the rice always outnumbers the salt, yet a little salt makes a huge difference/impact in the overall outcome. In the room in which you currently are, look up at the ceiling... What is the size of the bulb compared to the size of the room? It is probably a ratio of 1:5000. Yet, darkness flees the entire space once the small bulb is flipped on. If I am the salt of the earth, and the light of the world, then "little me" has the ability to make big things happen. Sometimes, because we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed at the sheer magnitude of evil or wrong-doers, we then choose powerlessness, and decide to go with the flow, not standing up for what we believe is right. Little doesn't mean insignificant. You are significant. Your presence should make a BIG difference. Stop waiting to be on the side of the majority. They may be th...

A superb diamond field waits to be discovered by us all We will find it within our heart and within our soul  So often these precious stones are left too far behind To chase pleasures and money with our body and mind A bit like the farmer who left farm, family and friends To search for gold and diamonds in faraway lands It was a mere year later, on his farm, just in the ground That a huge diamond mine was actually found. Oh yes my friends, in our heart and soul, deep inside A bit hidden, lies the biggest field of peace, joy and light So throw away the worry, stress and fear, play it smart The biggest source of peace sits right there in our heart   One of my newest poems  A small rhyme is incorporated I wish you all Peace, the Peace with a capital P  Let us make it quiet for awhile today and  discover it right where it sits :) Watch for more...

Morning Walk The morning walk! Just yesterday, I read one of my reflections, I wrote down in July 2015  (can find them in the archives of this blog on the right side of the page) , now almost three years ago. It was about a morning walk I made and I had made the intention to do it every day. Of course the intention had faded with time and now it had been quite a long time that I had made no morning walk.  So this morning, at 6.45 I was on the beach. There was just a narrow strip of orange in the sky, not so far from the horizon, but still the fresh air and the free massage of my feet on the wavy sand and the moving sea water, was inviting enough to make me go.  I took a picture of the orangey skies and after a few pics, the battery of my phone was finished. I went to walk and the lively lovely hermit crabs were moving to-and-fro. I loved to see them and decided I will step on none, which, at certain places, was not easy, since there were so many of them.  ...

Here I want to share with you my recent experience sitting outside. I was sitting outside in my garden and suddenly managed to appreciate how beautiful one of the trees was. It was a tree, I had walked by countless times but had never really noticed its particular beauty. And now I just sat there, not far from that particular tree, truly admiring the beauty of the texture of its bark. I could see the roots disappear in the depth of the soil and above form the crown with all the shades of green it displayed. I loved it, I had like a few moments of joy.  A little bit more reflection made me look at other trees too and surely they had so much beauty too. I had so many trees in and outside my garden, in my village! And all had their own special beauty. Let us all make some time today to pick a tree, take a closer look at it, discover its amazing beauty and just sit not far from it and have a few truly enjoyable moments. Some people hug trees, talk to trees. This is not very mu...
