‘To love and be loved in return’ seems to be an overrated phrase. My constant pursuit for that euphoric feeling of being in love fails to live on. However, it never stops me from dreaming, that one day God will allow someone to be with me for the rest of my life. I am sure by now God must have been tired of my deliberate pleas. Above anybody else, He’s been a patient ear to sound upon, thus my faith in Him never fails. For every heartache, diffidence and sorrow, a corresponding bliss and contentment await my tomorrow. Neither of us wants to be alone and carry the weight of resentment because we fail to do what we perceived could have been best for us. Most often, we complain why things don’t operate the way we want, taking the opposite side of the puzzle. Sarcastically entertaining the thought that I am doomed to be alone. Such impediment hinders the very essence of my being, the hopeless romantic side of me. That one day, someone will just slip into my life and fill the vacuum in my heart. I was once a child, full of hopes and dreams. At the very young age, delirious and naïve yet I had been entertaining the thoughts of falling in love. It was then when falling out of loving was never an option. As we embrace life in all its complexities we come to myriad realizations. The pursuit of happiness is infinite. Happiness is relative. Contentment is the key. We constantly seek happiness as we have endless wants to fulfill. We deflect from the real path of achieving happiness because of our endless desire for worldly things. Hence, we are never content with what we already have and often neglect the simple delight we could possibly have in living a plain and simple life. Refraining from wanting the moon and the stars does not necessarily mean we stop dreaming and neglect Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. We simply spare ourselves from our voracious desire for great things which only leaves us weary and frustrated. Such a waste especially when we exerted so much effort and time only to fail. Why don’t we try to divert our erratic penchant for grand things to simplicity? Simplicity is beauty; less is more as the famous adage goes. There’s nothing wrong with being ambitious, setting goals and standards, defying norms just to reach the zenith and being overly competitive. However, the question is how far are you willing to go in order to satisfy your wants and be contented? I have known people who seem to have almost everything- all the luxuries that you can imagine. However, they themselves acknowledge the fact that we can’t have the best of everything. As things around us get more complex we tend to become ignorant. We are too consumed with everything around us that we lack the appreciation of simple things- the presence of our family and friends, the mere fact that we are alive and each day is a blessing that we are able to breathe and realize that after all, God is good. At the end of the day, ask yourself, what really matters most to you? For me, the chance to love and be loved in return is the best thing that could possible make me happy and content. I do desire for grand things- lots of clothes, shoes, jewelries and bags, to acquire the latest gadgets and gizmos, to drive a Porsche car and the chance to circle the world; but then these tangible things can never love me back. It is never too late to change our mindset and to re-examine ourselves. Try to live one day at a time guided by our past, focusing on the present and dreaming of the future. But for now, I choose to live my life hoping that there’s nothing I will ever regret in the future. Enjoying everything that life has to offer while I still have the chance. Carpe diem!

Unveiling the Secret
I have been itching to know what exactly the Secret is about. I was lucky enough to grab a copy of this fantastic and very moving book by Rhonda Byrne.As I read through each page, I came to realize that this book contains what we humans often neglect. We have the power to change our circumstances. We have the power to radiate the frequency of positivity. Often we are in constant search for happiness, contentment and utter bliss. However, we can’t find it anywhere because these very things lie in US. We are the master of our life. We can make it or break it. The Secret teaches us the Law of Attraction. Our mind is powerful to attract the good and the bad. Our thoughts are magnetic. They add powerfully to the creation of the world. Like attracts like. It emphasizes on changing our mindset and focusing on the positive and favorable thoughts. The frequency that we send out to the world returns to the source-YOU! Nevertheless, if we want to change anything in our lives, we have to change our frequency by changing our very thoughts.
Whatever we have in our lives right are the results of our previous thought or maybe our own wishful thinking. Life is not based on luck but it’s the cause and effect. We are reaping the fruits of our labor. If we plant a bad seed so basically we will not have an abundant harvest or worst, we will not reap anything at all. And it goes the other way around.
We have two sets of feelings. The good and the bad. We need to be empowered. Therefore we have to focus on positive emotions. Our thoughts determine our feelings. You can’t feel good and bad at the same time. So clear your mind. Focus on positive thoughts only..
Love is the greatest emotion
“It is the combination of thought and love which forms the irresistible force of the law of attraction.” They say that there is no greater power in the world than the power of love. It is the highest frequency that you can emit to the world. Learn to love everything that you in your life. If in our imperfections, we can find beauty hidden within.
We are Aladdin and the world is a genie. It grants our every command regardless of what you are asking for. It is highlighted in the book the three simple steps of the Creative Process: ask, believe and receive. Asking is when we have to examine ourselves and ask what we really want to do with our lives. As soon as your mind is clear and focused, it’s time to ask. Believing involves acting, speaking and thinking as though you have already received what you have asked for. When we emit the frequency of having received it, the law of attraction moves people, events and circumstances for you to receive. Receiving is feeling the way you feel once your desire has manifested.
The book also provides secrets on losing weight. Instead of focusing on the need to get rid of the extra pounds, we need t focus on your ‘perfect weight’ and eventually you will summon it to you.
Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go and you will create your life intentionally. Always expect the thing you want rather that the thing you don’t want. Whatever life may take us, or how simple the things we go through every day, never fail to be thankful. Gratitude is a powerful tool in bringing more of what you want into your life. Another effective process is Visualization. It is when we create pictures in our mind and would later on attract reality to you, the way you visualize things in your mind. On of the exercise that we can try is visualizing before we sleep. We have to go back to the events of the day. If there’s anything which did not happen the way you want it, replay them in you mind the way you wanted the to go.
“Whatever the mind can conceive it can achieve.” To attract money, we have to focus on wealth and not on scarcity. It is impossible to bring more money into your life when you focus on the lack of it. Play games of having wealth and you will feel better about money. As you feel better, more will flow into your life. Feeling happy is bringing more money into your life. When you are generous with money and feel good about sharing it, you are saying that you have plenty and more will flow into your life.
“To acquire love, fill yourself up with it until you become a magnet.” Before we can love anybody, we have to treat ourselves with love and respect and we can attract people who will show us love and respect, too. Focus on the qualities you love about yourself and more great thing will be shown to you. To make the relationship work, focus on what you appreciate about the other person and not your complaints. When we focus on the strength, we will get more of them.
“Laughter is still the best medicine.” Focusing on perfect health is something we can all do within ourselves despite what may be happening on the outside. Disease is held in the body by though, by observation of the illness and by the attention given to the illness. If you are feeling a little unwell, don’t talk about it unless you want more of it. If you listen to people about their illness, you add more energy to the illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things and give more powerful thoughts to seeing those people in health. Focus on health and eternal youth.
“What you resist persists.” To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings. As we focus on the world’s negative events, you not only add to them but you also bring more negative things into your life. Give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education and peace. Remember that life is meant to be abundant. Praise and bless everything in the world and you will dissolve negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest frequency –LOVE!
“All power is from within and therefore under our control.”
“A person who sets his or her mind on the dark side of life, who lives over and over the misfortunes and disappointments of the past, prays for similar misfortunes and disappointments in the future. If you will see nothing but ill luck in the future, you are praying for such ill luck and will surely get it.” The energy is you! The Universe emerges from your thought. We are the creator of our own destiny and also the world’s.
The only thing that you need to do is to feel good..NOW! The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you. Do what you love and everything you will ask for, the Genie will be more than willing to say.. ’your wish is my command.’

“We live in a universe in which there are laws, just as there is a law of gravity. If you fall off a building it doesn’t matter if you’re a good person or a bad person, you’re going to hit the ground!”
