This is in the wee hour of the morning. Just woke up and the thoughts rushed into my mind. The previous day's happenings and all the past happenings coming in chunks and lumps. It is very disturbing as our mind open up to receive the thoughts. Just remembered that I have a report deadline to meet and I have just sent off a copy to my colleague for his updates. There is something in my head that I wish to tell but there too many things at the same time. The most disturbing thought is my BIL James lying in his hospital bed waiting for his treatment. In the past two years, my BIL Mike and FIL J have passed on and these are quite recent events.
Well, someone told me that both of them was quite old and in their eighties but they were still healthy before they got their illness. We cannot imagine the speed in the deterioration of their health. But, what about BIL J, he is only in early sixties and was a happy go lucky person , a wine drinker and a good singer. I remembered an occasion when one of his drinking pal died of heart failure, he told me that he was very scare that he will also follow him. One day, he was him and next day, that fella passed away suddenly. His pal was only in his early forties , a rich fella and a heavy drinker.
Life is so delicate nowadays. Often we hear of early and sudden deaths. It is the mystery of life and uncertainties makes it more challenging and interesting. With death, we will treasure life and living. The journey may be long or short but the most important thing is how we live it out fully. If you less out the sleeping time, the working time ,the time we caught in traffic jam and travelling , the remaining time for our self is not much. If we only used the remaining time for our self, if we put it in years, it will be only a few years of proper living in a normal life span. So, we have to learn to enjoy our work or choose a career we love, learn to have deep and wonderful sleep, and arrange to do the things we like when we are travelling or in a jam . For example, listening to music, listening to good audio stories or talks and catching up with friends and loved ones using the Iphone or Ipad or skype. We have to learn to stretch the day and try to enjoy every moment of it instead of wasting time contemplating and entertaining all the disturbing thoughts. This actions are only practical living.
Don't regret what have been the past, move on to the future and there is time for you to enjoy your remaining life. I attended a lecture last month in KL and beginning of the lecture, the lecture told us that he had hike up Mount Kinabalu twice and he had never exercise before and he still beat his pals to the top of the mountain. How did he do it ? He said that he used his mind and he only focus his mind on the things he wanted to do and tell his body to ignore the pain or the discomforts coming from his body. If you can control your mind, you can do anything and can even have a high EQ or IQ. We cannot under estimate the power of our mind. In a research, it was found that we only use less than 3% of our brain and an additional 1% will give you a quantum leap in your intelligence and understanding.
Having put my mind to my wondering thoughts, I wish good days ahead and re-examine your actions and thoughts to have a more fruitful journey in life.
Namaste.
