A Chat With Jesus

Jesus: Hello. Did you call me?

Man: Called you? No. Who is this?

Jesus: This is Jesus. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Man: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

Jesus: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Man: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.

Jesus: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Man: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

Jesus: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Man: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

Jesus: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Man: why are we then constantly unhappy?

Jesus: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.

Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

Jesus: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

Jesus: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

Jesus: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Man: You mean to say such experience is useful?

Jesus: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?

Jesus: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading.

Jesus: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

Jesus: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Not knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing the road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

Jesus: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Man: What surprises you about people?

Jesus: When they suffer they ask, “why me? When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Man: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can’t get the answer.

Jesus: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Man: How can I get the best out of life?

Jesus: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

Jesus: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Man: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a new sense of inspiration.

Jesus: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Man: Thank you so much.

Jesus: You are always welcome. Have a good day my friend.

Something In Your Eyes

Time Will Tell

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others…… including Love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment.When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?” Richness answered, “I’m sorry, but here is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you.” Then love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.” I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.”

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please let me go with you.” Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.” Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, “Happiness, please take me with you.” But happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love, I will take you with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found knowledge and asked, “Who was it that helped me?” “It was Time”, Knowledge answered. “But why did Time help me when no one else would?”, Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

Never Be Afraid to Say What U Feel!

Alright, while I was seriously reading something on the internet. I came across on this photo that really crack me up. I tried to move on to a different page but for some reason it got stuck into my mind and I kept laughing like crazy.So, I went back to that page where I found it and told myself- I got to put this into my blog. So, there it is.

Through It All!

God, grant me the SERENITY to accept the things
I cannot change.....the COURAGE to change the
things I can... and the WISDOM to know the
difference.

Left Brain? Right Brain? Which one should we listen to?

Lately, I was pondering a lot due to some frustrations. Usually if I am on this state of mind, I tried to resists it by reading a lot and replacing my frustration with thoughts that strengthens me. As my wisdom is concerned, everything is a thought that you carry around you. Happy thoughts create a happy molecule while otherwise creates the opposite. While I was working on empowering, the question above pops out in my head. Are you ready to learn with me to get the right answer?

Well, we will start by knowing what this two does. We have what we called Ego which is located in our left brain. Its job is to calculate, figure things out, analyzes, and comes up with the most logical choices for u. It basically thinks, thinks, and thinks! Basically, if you exclusively listen to this side, you ultimately will turn into a pretender or even worse, a commuter-getting up in the morning going with the crowd, doing the job that bring the money and pay the bills; and getting up the next morning and doing it all over again. Meanwhile, the music inside of you (passion) fades almost to a point of being inaudible.

While on the other hand is the Superego which resides in the right brain. Its job is to represents your intuitive side. It is the part of us that goes beyond reason and analysis. It is also the part that feels things, that’s sensitive to love and sensitive to our emotion on what's important to us. It is also the one that allows us to tear up as you hold your baby, or bask in the beauty of a glorious day. The left brain basically analyze it, while the right brain lets u feel it. Now, we know the difference.

Now, the question is that which one is always right? For instance- you’re in the process of embarking your path or in the path in anyway. And you want to do something that would lead you to your purpose. Then, suddenly you hear something in your head that says, “Wait a minute. Be careful, don’t take risks, you might fail; you might disappoint all of those who have a different view of what you should be doing. Then, you know that was your left brain. But here comes the presence of your nagging little creature that sits on your right shoulder and always reminds you of what is your purpose of being here for? It prods you when you’re spending another day doing what somebody else has dictated if it’s not a part of your passion in life. It’s also the one that always hear the music and constantly tap you on your shoulder. Basically, it’s the right brain that always lead you passionately to your purpose.

Now, I know which one I should listen to. How about u?

my 1st video blog

Isn't it life is beautiful? Though we are face with challenge in everyday of our lives, I still wouldn't change my perception that life is beautiful in many ways. I normally express it through blogging. I find a lot of relief in writing especially if I am working toward a goal. Anyway, I probably was bored in writing. So, I came up with something different this time through video blogging. I was amazed when I first release it on face book.; many of my friends made a comment and said that it made them laugh. Well, I didn't know it will turn out to be funny but I sure was glad that I somehow entertained them. I'm looking forward in making some more soon while working towards my goal.
