Gratitude

Chance upon this online, this is so true..


Much of the sorrow, anger, frustration, envy and all the other negative emotions we experience in life are the result of desiring more and appreciating less.

So how can we learn to be more grateful for what we have in life? Here are some steps we all can use each day to bring more gratitude, and as a result, more happiness into our lives.

Firstly, think of five things that you would not want to change in your life. Then say them aloud or write them down. This helps you identify and focus in the things you usually take for granted. Things thAt you just as easily may not have been given, but have.

Next, appreciate your senses. What beauty has your gift of sight allowed you to enjoy. What delightful foods did you smell and taste. What sweet music stirred your soul through your gift of hearing.

Before you end your day, think of five Inge that made your day wonderful.nwe often forget the good and focus on the bad in our lives. A sincere compliment, a small gift, a lunch treat, a loved one's laughter , a beautiful line from a book, a joke which made you chuckle, a phone cal asking how you were, a colleague's thoughtful gesture, your mother's delicious fried rice.. How many of such little blessings are forgotten as son as they've transpired.

Appreciate yourself. Everyone has attributes he or she can be thankful for.nthink of five of them, again, too many people tend to dwell on their flaws and shortcomings. This helps you remember that you have been blessed with attributes that other people may not have.

Think of three people you are thankful to have in your life. Tell them how much they mean to u.

Remind yourself of how fortunate you are. Whenever you see or hear people who are destitute, crippled, hungry or disenfranchised, don't look away. Don't ignore them. Use those images to help you realize just how lucky you really are.

Things happen my chance. Get ready for this chance when it does. (:

Been so long since I last updated this space. And the only reason I am writing now solely because I wanted myself to remember.. The things that were taught to me today.

It was just ytd that I'm thinking what I want in life and what's my dreams and goals. I suddenly have a strong feeling to travel and wanted to see the world. I wanted to explore and know different culture, hear from different people, different life experience and different stories. I don't want to lead a normal life and I don't want to regret only when I get old. So I'm thinking, what can i do . .. No conclusion. And this is the very first time I felt envy, envy abt those ppl who can travel as they work. Who are able to know and see so much more.
But, I have my commitments. :(


Today, coincidently, my colleague came back from Sydney. And on the post card she have given me, it says," Not sure if you are a fan of traveling, but I am. If I can travel as a job, I definitely wld..." and she told me to visit Sydney, it's a beautiful country and she attached a Polaroid picture of it. I feel like flying there now. I remembered when I'm young, sceneries s my best friend. Whenever I feel sad, demoralized I would have to find some places beautiful and I will feel better just by looking at it Anyway, is this the law of attraction ? It's so coincident tat my colleague passed me the postcard today. If this is attraction, and its all inside our head, can I.. Ever have my dream job to be able to travel the world.

The above doesn't trigger me to blog. But I have a long chat with my manager earlier today. I find that what she said really make sense and it enlighten me abit. On a side note, to cut long story short,she is a vietnamese , a fashion blogger, top sales in SD for continously 3 yrs, a person filled with dreams and goals. Her goal is to become a top fashion blogger in the fashion industry and I believe that she will get there someday. You know, when you talk to her you can feel the desire, the wants. There are so many things she talked to me about. At the beginning I dare not reveal much as you know manager is always manager, I cant possibly tell her I have no passion for my current job And that i think of quitting? But then I opened up abit more later on. She, of cause not stingy t give tips at all. SHe told me, if ever I am able to find my dream job she will feel happy for me and she will say go. Because these are the things that make you happy. But she wants me to remember to weigh the pros and cons. She too, received alot of offers every now and then. Some good some not so good but says she is waiting for the right one. I understand what she is saying. Also, she told me that we need to balanced out reality and dream. Everyone of us have our own commitments,  while we wait for the chance to come we got to be ready too. Ready in the sense of skills, mentally , physically, status etc etc. yes this is so true. She also shared with me that 3 years ago she's a nobody. And now, look at her. I really feel that all these are Hardwork and very much on passion, she always say," find the joy in whatever you are doing," I guess that's what keep you going?

I looked at her and said, but.. I don't have a definite goal, I don't know what I want. I just feel that what I'm doing now is not the thing that I wanna do in life. Yea.... She told me things don't happened by choice. Things happen by chance..

So I really did. Cut away my long hair, first time in so many years. Like the outcome, and got a lot of compliments happy!

okay, stayed at my fav starbucks for abt 6 hrs on a Sunday.  Read on some books and have gained great insights. "The Time Keeper" & "Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic". Nick's book making me teared most of the time. Very inspiring, good book!

More than half a mth have passed, catching up with sales but still a lot more to go.
Really yearn for a short getaway!

I've been doing well for the past few months but im right now feeling insecure for the month of May. Afraid that I cant do as well as previous mths and handling some of the problem case right nw and lastly I am sick. I had flu and fever. I hope I can really pull through and end this month well. With the support and love from the people around me, my manager, family and R , I knew I can. I just need to have a healthy body and a healthy mind right before I kick start once again.

Oh and.. I m considering to cut off my long hair again...... Shall I shall I....... ??(;

Feels so good to do something and been appreciated.

Sometimes u really can't wait to do even the smallest things for the people around you, families or friends. Because the next moment everything might change. Although we all see it coming but certainly didn't know that it will be that day. When I just happened to tell mum that I hasn't give big uncle allowance for this mth and I will give him tomorrow after I have withdraw from the bank but time don't wait. On the same night, my uncle was rushed to the hospital because his internal organ failed or something. And after spending a few days in ICU, he passed away on Saturday morning. So, followed by preparing all the funeral stuffs. I guessed the next big thing is the dollar sign. Me and my bro each gave 2k because I don't know why it seems like the funds is not enough although most of us are on the same "family rank" besides uncle used to live with us. Its true that money is not exactly above all things but it is indeed the evil root of everything. Sometimes through all these incidents, I see alot that I might not be able to learn elsewhere. I see how talk is nvr bigger than actions. I see how ppl thinks for themselves first And I see how sincerity comes not from the speech. There are alot... alot I still don't understand neither can I ask.

Of course, there are people crying and feeling very down during the ceremony but I deeply feel that we got to cherish the one we love before its too late.

Goodbye.
