The thoughts of Brother James’ condition unsettles me and make me more aware of the passing time. If you are given the death warrant, the limited time become very precious and demanding. There are so many things to do and yet the ending time is coming soon. This irony is like filling a jar with pebbles and sand. Which one we put in the jar first ? If we put in the sand first, then we can only put less pebbles. If you think the pebbles are the main issues in your life, then you put in the pebbles first because the space in the jar is limited.
There is also a theory of 80:20 rule or the 90:10 rules which illustrate that people spend 80 percent of their time doing 20% of their urgent or important task while spending 20% of their 80% important task. Often the minor task as very minute in details and is the most time consuming. Just like issuing a cheque to your supplier, if you issue a 10 ringgit check and a 100,000 ringgit cheque , the task and process is the same. If we are aware and realize this wisdom, we should take care of the important task first. It require the same effort and time. The same is with the 90:10 rules.
In the meeting with with Brother James, he also told me and my wife that health is the most important and we should avoid stress and strains. It is very simple to understand as health is wealth and without health , the wealth is nothing. But, we have these mental habits which drive us in all our actions and decisions. Sometimes, it is an auto pilot which drive at great speed even if we want to slow down. It is as if the body mechanism is out of control and moves on its own. Yes, the years of learning , experience and exposure which have create us today. The molding of the daily routes and experience have charted our behavior and response. How we handle a task and at what speed is already fine-tuned in our body and leash out automatically without any thinking. So, is that you or somebody else?
Most of the time, we eat our food very fast and without realizing what we are eating. We have been advised that we should chew our food 50 times before the next spoonful but we just automatically eat and at the end of it, we do not know how is the taste and what we have eaten. We could have eat a mouse or cat but we are not aware because of roaming mind and thoughts. Slow and take each bite consciously and tell yourself whether it is salty or sweet or flat. Take time to be aware. Saying is easy, we can do it one or two times but we go back to our old habits in a matter of time.
We are what we are and what we eat we become. The same theory applies to our thoughts , what we think we become. Break away and be aware and conscious all the time. If we think good, we feel good and we feel relax , we are relax. We are the master of our own mind and not the other way.
So, live well, eat good and think excellent and you will have the abundant positive vibes with you.
Namaste.
