展翅高飞

每个人的心底 都有一个梦想， 就看它是大还是小。 但大小不重要，重要的是你要知道它的存在。

去年年底，我以为我知道我要的是甚麽，我以为我可以展翅高飞了。。。

但是现实还是不能 允许，还是放不下，恐慌。。。

今天收到了好多朋友的farewell note. 心里有不尽的感触。。 如果。。。还是。。。

拜访老友

今天去“拜访”了刚刚旅居日本的朋友。

他们是那麽的认真的生活着。

这几天我一直在探讨，我为甚麽总是把自己弄得那麽忙，生活的义意对我来说又是甚麽呢？

慢活、品味生活、认真的感受每一刻。。。 

很快的这一年又要过去了。

Hurry Up and Slow Down!

Life can be filled with countless lost moments. In the haste of juggling the demands of family, work, friends, and the needs of your own body and mind, your connection with the present is often replaced by preoccupation with the future. Lost in thought and busyness, your attention is prone to simply sliding over the surface of life. It's all too easy to miss the simple moments that make your heart sing: a child's laughter, a crisp snowflake resting on the windshield, the beat of your own heart.

You live and breathe amid the miracle of life. But for it to touch your heart, you need to be present. The precious moments of calm and stillness your heart longs for are born of your willingness to live the moment you are in. Yes, this very moment.

...This is so true ...

还是再重播

同样的念头还再一直的重播，那是因为。。。。。我还没去实行它。因为我还没准备好要为我的决定负责。

What is important in your life ?

God wants you to know...    

...that what is important in your life is what you decide is important --

and this decision will indelibly create who you are.

When you awoke this morning, what was the first thing

on your mind? On your list of Things To Do, what is #1?

As you contemplate your current priorities, is there a person

at the top, or is it some kind of doingness ...?

Only you can know what is catching your attention,

what is calling to you for your energy.

Yet you can ask yourself a key question...

Where is love in all of this?

Do My Very Very Very BEST

..... God wants you to know...   

...that when we do the best we can, we never know what miracle
is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

There is a situation
in your life right now where you are being asked to do your best,
your very best. Maybe it is in finding forgiveness for another.
Or is understanding something that you just haven't been able to understand.
Or in accepting what has to this point felt unacceptable.

Whatever that situation (and you know exactly what it is right now)...
are you doing the best that you can? If you are,
so be it, and good. Yet if you think you might do better,
allow this little nudge today to be your gift from the soul.
A miracle awaits if you will reach back now
and do your very, very, very best in this.

<There must be a reason why you are reading this now >

Change

I am changing my playground after 7.5 years. 
Excited yet worry.  Guess that should be the normal reaction.

Wish me Luck!!

The Simple Life

An article I read this morning ...

Most spiritual traditions encourage simple living, and yoga is no exception. In the Yoga Sutra, Patanjali laid out the yamas (moral restraints) and niyamas (observances), a set of 10 principles that are crucial to one's progress along the yogic path. One of the yamas is aparigraha, often translated as "greedlessness." But it means more than just taking only what you need, explains David Frawley, founder and director of the American Institute of Vedic Studies and author of Yoga and the Sacred Fire. Aparigraha also means "not having a lot of unnecessary things around yourself and not hankering after what other people have," Frawley says. In other words, aparigraha also means keeping only what you need and wanting only what you need.
Aparigraha leads naturally to one of the niyamas: santosha, or "contentment," being satisfied with the resources at hand and not desiring more. Ultimately, Frawley says, "Yoga is about transcending the desire for external things, which is the cause of suffering, and finding peace and happiness within."
The desire for external wealth causes unhappiness on both a practical level and a spiritual one. In order to afford things, you have to work long hours, leaving you less time for what truly sustains you, whether that's yoga and meditation, a hobby, or time with your kids. An expensive lifestyle also limits your choice of career, forcing you to take a high-paying job that may not be fulfilling. It's hard to transcend the desire for external things when we see hundreds of ads implying that happiness lies in a new iPod, laptop, or car. But despite those commercial messages, acquisition doesn't equal happiness. Many yogis find that if they transcend their material cravings, they can lead more satisfying, albeit more modest, lives.
