I am trying to find my calling.. to figure out what I am meant to do.. I guess to change what I do for a living (but to what?) and trying to be free from doing something unfulfilling, but at the same time there is a fear factor as it provides (financially) for the necessities and priorities .. I can't think of anything else to do that can sustain the current lifestyle:(. At a crossroads when considering the push and pull factors, hope I get a lightbulb moment soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-86260578360384578482015-01-15T23:15:15.940+08:002015-01-15T23:15:15.940+08:00Thank you for your thoughts - very reassuring.Thank you for your thoughts - very reassuring.Monica Voonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680654734279859199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-12088346771095629672014-02-22T23:10:03.785+08:002014-02-22T23:10:03.785+08:00always enjoy your reflections and writings. keep u...always enjoy your reflections and writings. keep up the good work. om shantiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-26892884230767414202013-11-24T03:45:50.273+08:002013-11-24T03:45:50.273+08:00Beautiful childhood,you must indeed be lucky to ha...Beautiful childhood,you must indeed be lucky to have such wonderful parents:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-19412292800844284682013-11-20T00:14:10.560+08:002013-11-20T00:14:10.560+08:00"There is no perfect recipe of outside circum..."There is no perfect recipe of outside circumstances and relationships that can provide me with happiness all the time, it’s simply a matter of being able to find a way to appreciate where I am and what I’m doing, regardless of what that may look like."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-88846044692056924912013-08-17T02:42:55.987+08:002013-08-17T02:42:55.987+08:00Very well "spoken".

By spreading positivity and love, as say, a public figure or someone with influence, one may inspire and help more people attain liberation from the ego faster. <br />But then again, I am no yogi.<br />I know that I could be, just as anyone, and I even believe that it is possible for me in this life, but it is something that I do not wish for at this time. Perhaps I (in that sense, I have a large ego) identify with Avalokiteshvara in that regard.. I wish for everyone to find a place in tbe Mahayana. <br /><br />Again, I am no yogi and my opinions are probably nonsense. But love and compassion are what fuels my being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-53559619934353739122013-03-22T20:18:38.756+08:002013-03-22T20:18:38.756+08:00Thanks for this :) This is something I really need...Thanks for this :) This is something I really need to work on as I recognised a lot of myself in your words. <br />NAMASTE xxxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047890732100319168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608827560451576326.post-48231972006574774472013-02-02T12:18:36.764+08:002013-02-02T12:18:36.764+08:00Om Ida,

Great to hear from you.
Sorry for the...Hi Evelyn,<br /><br />Great to hear from you.<br /><br />Sorry for the late reply. I was away for two weeks for silent meditation retreat in Thailand. We've just came back a few hours ago.<br /><br />Dear Evelyn, I want you to know this.<br /><br />Actually, I could feel the heaviness in your heart before, during and after the class. And I did want to talk to you after the class but due to that day we were very busy, I need to get back to our studio after dropping off the people.<br /><br />That's why I had sent you a text message (to the phone number that you had sent the text message to me to reserve the yoga class) on the next morning to ask how are you (which I rarely would do like this to any other students unless there is a necessity to do so). I didn't know whether you had received my message or not.<br /><br />Anyway, I did meet you again on your last evening in Langkawi in the restaurant (where I didn't think of going since we were living here for more than one and a half year already, but we were being invited for a drink there with some friends on that evening).<br /><br />Non-attachment and letting go doesn't mean being cold and unconcern about other people's feelings and emotions.<br /><br />Yoga is about realizing the true compassion in us, so that through compassion we can share and help other people to know their own true nature and the truth of things, and thus it will enable us to observe and let go whatever that our body and the mind are experiencing from moment to moment through right understanding, right view, right concentration and right effort.<br /><br />You can write to me through my personal email mengfoonglai@gmail.com if you like to share whatever you want to share with me. I'll just be a listener without any opinion or advice unless you ask me to do so. I am not a life consultant, nor can anyone make other people problems and unhappiness disappear.<br /><br />At the end, it is up to ourselves to open up our heart and to know and accept the truth of things as they really are. When we know the truth of thing and are able to accept the reality as it is and not necessary the way that we like it to be, we will be free from affliction or unhappiness that caused by being ignorant about the truth or the nature of things.<br /><br />Accepting the reality as it is and letting go doesn't mean that we give up on hopes and ourselves, but it is about being open minded towards all the things (good and bad) that are subject to impermanence and know how to deal with the suffering or discomfort that arise due to impermanence and the function of our mind. And not avoiding unhappiness by ignoring or running away from our problems or unhappiness.<br /><br />I also would be pleased to see you again sometime, somewhere, somehow.<br /><br />Om shanti,<br /><br />Meng FoongMeng Foonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441592442348953178noreply@blogger.com
