Metamorphosis

This was copied over from my other blog which I started last year.  Thought that it will be great to share with you what I experienced last year December 2006.

We are now in Teenstreet, enjoying ourselves with the Teens (or should I say stressing ourselves, well actually enjoying cause we are having a break from everything and just playing and doing crazy fun stuff).

Ironically, we are learning about METAMORPHOSIS @ Teenstreet. Something which we have been talking so much about at ICAN lately.  Transformation (Change) from caterpillar to butterfly.

Here we are learning about CHOICES and CHANGE.  And to my surprise, I wrote my goals for ITP 3 weeks ago and in one section, I had to write down my two biggest learning experiences and I wrote about the importance of MAKING CHOICES and CHANGES.

It is so true that in life, it is about making RIGHT CHOICES.  Here we were told of two trees – Tree of Life and Tree of Death. 

Often we are all tempted to do things which bring us to the Tree of Death.  Initially, the things we do maybe seem good but the root is bad.  But the most important thing is to know that when YOU KNOW it’s the WRONG CHOICE, Make the CHANGE and Move FORWARD.  Dont beat yourself up, ask for forgiveness from anyone you might have hurt along the way because of your WRONG CHOICE – RECONCILE and CHANGE.

Another thing we learnt here is about BEING and not DOING.  We are called HUMAN BEING not HUMAN DOING.  Isnt that so true?  But so many of us are just DOING and DOING and DOING and some even DOING without knowing why they are DOING what they are DOING.

We are called HUMAN BEING. So BE….
BE, DO and HAVE.  BE the person you are supposed to be (BELIEVE and ACT) and Do (Take Action) and you will HAVE.

I’ve also learnt this in Money & You and books that I have read.  Seems like this is what my Creator wants me to learn and impart to all of you.

Hope you have enjoyed reading this.

True Self

I have been learning a lot about knowing our True Self (some call it Authentic Self, The Real Person Within You, Inner Child, etc). Whatever it is call, it’s the same – its the True Person within You…who you are from the day you were brought into this world. The Person Inside You who is happy and excited and destined to be great in life.

Along the way, we all got corrupted with negative messages and got “huge” bashing from people around us that we now have a distorted or fictional* Self. We were given negative programming or even programming with information which may not be Truth but we accepted as Truth, which now becomes our beliefs and govern the way we make decision, interact with people, response or react to people, our attitude and behaviors and finally, our current position in life.

Many of us do not take the time for ourselves to think through whether our certain thoughts, behaviors, beliefs – whether they are actually Truth.

We all want LOVE and we are all LOVING creatures, but why sometimes, we meet certain people (including ourselves at times) who refused Love. This is because of our distorted view of things that we have allowed to corrupt our beliefs and understanding of Love.

Today, I ask that you take at least 15 minutes off every morning, just reflect, are you really happy? Are you the True You or you just projecting the You for others to accept you or because it is expected of you? If you are not happy, please take time out to listen to your True Self who is desperately reaching to you, wanting to tell you how to be the REAL you.

I know what I wrote may sound a little confusing at the moment. But take time to reflect, and you may find the Truth!
