“What we think is breaking us, is actually making us…yes, it is breaking the stranglehold of debilitating emotions that are pinning us down and holding us hostage…and through learning to deal with these emotions, we emerge resilient, content and anchored. Which is why it is important to learn to live fully with what is – to learn to be non-worrying, non-frustrated and non-suffering, to be happy despite your circumstances.”

“Is there a right time to follow your Bliss? Not really. You postpone your Happiness, following your Bliss, only because you think you have a lot of time later in Life to do what you love doing. But the truth is that there is not enough time. Life comes with an expiry date; it is a one-time, limited-period offer. So, if you are not living your Life fully, happily, you are losing precious time. Simply, there is no better time than NOW to do what you love doing!”

“Bliss can – and will – never lead you astray. When you follow your Bliss, you sure may face challenges, there may be pain, but you will not be unhappy. On the other hand, if you resist your Bliss, choosing not to do what you love doing – not only will Life be challenging, but it will also be intensely unhappy…making you feel low, depressed and causing you a lot of grief, misery and suffering. Think: what if you had challenges and were happy facing them? Well, that is the biggest benefit of following your Bliss. Simply, you cannot go wrong with Happiness.”

“The “Why?” and “Why Me?” questions are futile and debilitating. They make you wallow in self-pity and lead you to compare yourself with others. They keep coming back to push you down a depressive spiral even if you want to let go and move on. So, essentially, Life is a mind-game. You must train your mind to drop the “Why?” and “Why Me?” questions altogether. Whatever has happened has happened, and your Life is what it is now. What then is the point in asking “Why?” and “Why Me?”. When you realize the futility of those questions, you will be free…you will then see magic and beauty in the inscrutable process of Life. In faith. In acceptance. In letting go. In moving on.”

“The nature of Life is that at least once in your lifetime, if not more times, the unexpected will come and sock you, it will defy logic and it may even hang you from the edge of a precipice. You will not know what to do. You will be engulfed by darkness. The pain will be unbearable and you will imagine you can’t go on. That’s when Life will send you a lifeboat, a raft…a shepherd may arrive, a door may open, showing you the way forward to last one more day…surely your problems won’t get solved overnight…they may even endure and so will you…such is Life…”

“The key to romance, thriving through years of companionship, is in the loving, in the present continuous tense. Being loving, irrespective of circumstances, is magical. Love is static...but loving is flowing... it is.... there is no friction, there is no search, it is present and is flowing...so, the romance is always fragrant!”
