A letter to 'Future Me'

New entry, April 1, 2011:

I just came across a website, futureme.org: letters to the future. This website allows you to write an email to yourself and you can choose to receive it on any date in the future. I thought that was really cool! I am putting the link here (see below)for anyone interested to try it out :D)

Entry on March 30, 2011:

A letter to 'Future Me' -- I read the article in a magazine and thought it is an interesting way to get a person to look within them to search for what s/he would like to do but was unable to and his/her aspiration for the future.

Writing a letter to the future me allows the person to reflect and set her/his life back into the path that s/he wants to take. I think the process will help the person to look at her/his life objectively, ie. take stock of her/his life and do whatever is necessary to live a happy life henceforth.

I have promised myself that I will write a letter to 'future me' -- about the things and changes that I have made to live the life of an authentic person. I don't like to plan things too far ahead, hence my letter to the future me will be an annual affair.

An uneasy feeling...


New entry, April 3, 2011:

The first 3 days of April has been good so far ~ the uneasy feeling is gone and I am feeling much brighter and happier now :)

On reflection, whenever one has an uneasy feeling, one always thought of it in a negative way: uneasiness = bad feeling (ie. something bad going to happen). I think the uneasy feeling I experienced was not a bad feeling afer all, but about tuning in to the universal laws. If you are interested in tuning to your inner self, you will realise that everyone of us has our very own cosmic force. This cosmic force allows us to be in tune with the universal laws or nature's laws. I believe everyone of us is connected to each other, one way or another ~ we are after all a part of the one great Universal Whole. So, when one's cosmic force is awaken, one's consciousness will be transmited into energy which anything and everything, both seen and unseen, is comprised of.

I believe my cosmic force has brought two new people into my life. These two persons were introduced to me by two of my friends and the one singular thing that we all (five of us) have in common is that we share the same chinese horoscope. For many years, I have experienced working harmoniously with people of the same chinese horoscope with me; we are somehow in tuned to each other. So I have no qualms at all when given the opportunity to work with such people.

I believe that the two persons I had just met could provide me more opportunity to live authentically. I can see that these two persons could be the ones that can help me to achieve higher spiritual growth :)

I have been having this uneasy feeling for the past weeks -- I feel like something is going to happen, but, WHAT???

Things that normally go smoothly did not go too well, like: I missed the dateline of my bills, had a terribly bad sore throat and nearly lost my voice (my voice is my work), home appliance not working as it should, my car engine is not as smooth as it used to be (though I have just serviced it), etc. Hmmm... to calm myself, I kept telling myself that the month will pass and all will be well again. I am looking forward to next month!

April will be here in 3 days time, hope all will be well... :)

Goals vs Dreams


"A goal is a dream with a deadline" (Napoleon Hill)

Dreams on the other hand ~ "pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living" (Anais Nin)

New entry (March 14, 2011)

Barack Obama’s dream is — 'bring about real change, change that we can believe in.'

He has proven that if someone has a clear authentic dream, responds to it with love and passion, has the courage to pursue this dream, has faith in him/herself, and lives according to their dream, this dream will guide that person’s life and will result in purposeful and resolute actions. He took the responsibility to identify with his dreams and hope, and to respond to them with love and passion.

I don't make goals but I have dreams. I realised one of my earliest dream in early 90's. Realising my dream made me believed that dream does come true! I have never stop dreaming ever since. Many more dreams has came true for me. One of my early 90's dreams came true in early 2000's (which has since paved way to more dreams). The most recent dream that came true was the one in early last year; another came true today; and one more in the pipeline waiting to be realised, hopefully this September. But then, since it is a dream, whether or not it materialised doesn't bother me; by focusing on it long enough, it will materialised when the right time comes along (ie. when its time to ripen).

I would not say that they materialised due to luck alone but in fact, I was preparing myself and waiting for them to materialise. Dreams do come true, one just need to be prepared and ready to accept them (sometimes, it does take a number of years, though, hahaha... even a decade!, ~ one need to have lots of perseverance and patience). When they do come true, you will feel a sense of real joy in your heart and only those who had their dream came true will truly understand the feeling.

"Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them" (John Updike).
