You must give up the life you planned in
order to have the life that is waiting for you. 
                              - Joseph Campbell

Dreams come true.

If there is faith 

That I have always cultivated myself to believe in,

I can feel it now.

The thunder of heartbreak is listening out for hope

Wanting my dreams even strongly

No matter the darkness and chaos

I can see my dreams wanting to break free

For the knowledge of Self

Has given me this Freedom to hold on to that dream.

A toast

Friend, I love the time we spend

Whether it was smiling with the ocean wind

Or keeping the secrets of the sea

It was true love- once in a lifetime.

We stuck together, as if instinctively

For we know each other’s darkest secrets

And now, we’ve made our dream come true

For, we can never be too far away.

I toast to fearless new beginnings,

With a new lover in this journey

I am so proud of the lady you’ve become

And this will be all you dreamed of and more.

There is no longing for greater realization

There is no hurt for greater understanding

There is no disappointment for further refinement

There is no self-doubt for a better you

It is the journey you take for the

Full understanding of the self

The feelings of failure.

Failure reveals our blind spots. Failure shows us what we are most afraid of about ourselves.
What we are most afraid of is usually not the feeling of failing itself, but the feelings that accompany it: embarrassment, disappointment, shame, or self-consciousness. People who are successful are hardly those who have never failed - they just realize that getting through those feeling that came with failures are key. They continue to act and move forward.

- Adapted from J. Y. Chin

When I choose to stay sheltered..

"Tear down the mask of nature so that I can see the face of God." - BBT Sheldon

When tragic endings touches close, I wonder if I am next too. Losing a young life unexpectedly is never justified in my eyes. I lost faith once and trying to not lose it again, and to take life as it comes with sacrifices that is yet nothing compared to theirs. 

Happy New Year

Today, my substitute yoga teacher greeted us with a note:

On this New Year, you will want to make resolutions, 
however you need to know that you are already perfect.
You may just have to find it in you.
