Have You Start Reading Obituaries?

I have start to become more philosophical these days, as I realised time is ticking by so fast...I am less willing to waste my time, less willing to listen to negative people. I am even less willing to miss an opportunity to be loving, champion another human being, get closer to my dreams, or have some genuine fun. And...I started reading obituaries too. 

When I read of the lives others have lived , I am offered clues on whats most important in life. I realised that obituaries of lives well lived often share certain consistent pattern. 

• Family
• Friendship
• Contribution to community 
• Taking calculated risk 
• Kindness through small, simple acts 
• Love

The greatest of all i read speaks of being close to loved ones and of the impact the deceased had on the world around them. 

Leading a beautiful life, I always ask the kinds of questions that will provoke me to think deeply ad connect with what matters most. One of the dominant traits of so many of the extraordinary people I know is the discipline of bring more reflective than most of us. So ask profound questions. Good questions lead to excellent answers and greater clarity. And greater clarity is the DNA of authentic success and personal greatness. 

There are 5 questions that I hope will cause you to go deep and become more philosophical about what truly counts in your life. Most people don't discover how to love until it's time to die. By then it's too late...Start writing your answers down in journal, ask yourself on a daily basis and get yourself align!

• Did I Dream Big Enough?
• Did I Live Fully to the Extend of What I am Capable of?
• Did I Learn to Let Go of Those Thinking that Does not Support Me?
• Did I Love Well?
• Did I Leave the Earth a Better Place?

I hope the answers you arrive at will help you live with more passion and joy. Clarity does precede success. You can't hit a target you can't even see. And we are really not here that long, if you think about it. We'll all be dust before you know it! So live and maximise your potential now!

Instructions on Life

Sometimes we wish there is a instruction for us when we come to this world. Things would be so much easier and smoother.

In fact, there is and given to all of us, without our realisation. I found this somewhere on the internet. Have fun and read with care!


Instructions Given To Each Of Us At Birth
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it
will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time,
informal school called life. Each day in this school, you will
have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the
lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process
of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments
are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be
presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.
Then you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that
does not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to
be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has
become a "here," you will simply obtain another "there" that
again, looks better than "here."

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate
something about another person unless it reflects to you
something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the
tools and resources you need; what you do with them is up to
you. The choice is yours.

9. The answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions
lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all of this.
