the HAPPY MAP

  • Deep Nature Appreciation is the best fuel.
  • Harmonize your Life with the ways of Nature.
  • Life has stages, live in harmony with them.
  • Listen before acting.
  • Relax and Enjoy Life often.
  • Being busy is not always a virtue.
  • Time spent Alone or with Friends and Family in Beautiful Places is real Richness.
  • Community is a powerful womb to abide in. Nourish all levels of it.
  • All actions are motivated by love of some kind.
  • Love for yourself, your family, friends, nation or even people who share your beliefs is great, but keep going…
  • Let your circle of Love grow so wide it reaches the farthest corner of the universe.
  • Every Culture has currents that will pull you into a life of uninspired mediocrity. Follow your Bliss.
  • Remember that the word ‘Should’ starts with “Shhhh…”
  • Never cease to let Love amaze you
  • Let Awe flow through you. Don’t let even the smallest things be taken for granted or grow stale.
  • Every action has consequences. Balance Selfishness and Altruism with every action.
  • Justice is based in this balance make sure it does, in fact, prevail.
  • Aim for the stars, but stay grounded in Simplicity.
  • Creativity is pure magic.
  • It’s True. Laughter is Good Medicine.
  • Never let the intellect become unbridled from the heart or vice versa.
  • Not everything is good, but when viewed from the right perspective it can be all good.
  • The secret to Happiness is to not get stuck on oneself but to see the process of countless forms of life ceaselessly coming, interacting and going.
  • To be a part of this Dance even for a moment is an unfathomably huge gift.
  • To leave a legacy that allows others to dance to the same divine rhythm is an even bigger gift.
  • Resist the tendency to drift through life like a cork, chart your course. Why bob around when you can surf?
  • Plant beneficial seeds, do your best and let go.
  • Do things because they come from deep in your heart and not for just for personal gain.
  • Cultivate a “What’s in it for us?” mentality.
  • Lead by example.
  • Increase your life force.
  • Beware of Greed and the Kleshas. They will quickly lure you towards happiness that will not last.
  • Don’t Dwell, Just Gel
  • Everything that doesn’t go right, goes wrong for all the right reasons (although it may take time to see this)
  • Know the nature of Grief and Pain. They can shut you down or open you up to the Deepest Source of Love.
  • To only be attracted to sweet forms of happiness is a trap.
  • Be willing to accept the bitter with the sweet.
  • Beware of extremes.
  • When people tell you that ‘it’s all about balance,’ they are right. Become intimate with the forces that life requires us to balance.
  • True Gratitude quickly opens doors to the heart.
  • Too much Ego is a self-created prison.
  • Anger is not to be stifled. Increase your Love Force and give Anger space to dissipate in it.

  • Listen to the intelligence of the body.
  • Close your eyes often and Feel the vibrations of life.
  • Feedback from your body will tell you whether you are being present or not.
  • Celebrate the Animal and the Angel in you.
  • Love is the Ultimate Renewable Resource.

With regards to what is happening to my homeland lately… i’d like to dedicate this song i covered like months back to everyone wtf. its just me fooling around but i love the lyrics non the less..


Don’t analyse
Don’t analyse
Don’t go that way
Don’t lead that way
That would paralyse
your evolution

technically speaking, im a christian. and what is happening around, worries me.

In truth, i’m an atheist.. or you can say, I’m a free thinker. The only religion i believe in is to be good, to do the right things, to respect others.. and basically, to just be righteous (which i guess is the main teaching of ALL religions). i only preach this thing called LOVE. and my main philosophy is to RESPECT others at all times. be in PEACE with others. and live in HARMONY together. which i guess.. is also the words of the GOD of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and all other religions in the world.

If so, i would like to humbly ask… WHICH RELIGION, does it says that problems can be solved by burning down a holy institution of any religion at all? And what does it reflect to the teachings of your religion if YOU burn down other people’s place of worship? IMAGINE… if someone burns down your temple/church/mosque? how would you feel?

THINK.

What you do, reflects yourself. your family. your religion. your kind. Whoever you are, out there, doing all this cowardly actions that brings trauma and causing racial tension amongst the people in Malaysia, YOU… are a disgrace to our nation.

anyways…

here are some pics from a small xmas celebration me and my friends had @ palate pallate. :)

an Obituary printed in London Times

Category : Philosophy

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn’t always fair;
- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a class mate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the religious institutions became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing!
