Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 6 [Power of Belief] - Part 1 (Power of Attraction) - Section A (Types of Emotion)

2009-12-28T06:32:00.001-08:00

Power of Attraction as the first factor of Belief.

What attracts attracts what attracts.

Have you understood what this statement means? If you have not, welcome again to this section on your numerous times you have reread this entire chapter.

What attracts simply and will quite mysteriously attracts what others can attract while attracting the others themselves.

This elaboration sounds complicated but in fact, it is as simple as it appears to be. Many a time, we tend to live life as it is. Complaining on bad fortunes, cursing on bad experiences, crying on bad mistakes and even dying on bad circumstances. From simple negative acts, such motives can unknowing build up or in other word, attract, even more negative events. Using the basic principle of actions breed consequences, we know that through our actions, we must then bear any consequences to arise from our acts. Such is the fairness of the universe that any status of attraction is retained and thus reflected as the event of an action.

As an example, when someone woke up on the wrong side of bed, he would start to develop low emotions and the emotions become the attraction for following events or consequences resulting from the action of developing low emotions. The person would then hold on to his emotions and slowly linearly place perspectives along his emotions. As such, when he burnt his breakfast, fell from his stairs, knocked his nose against the door, stepped on an animal's faeces, misplaced his car keys, got into an accident, arrived late for work, got retrenched, lost his year-end bonuses, etc, his negative emotions will accumulate while unknowingly, began to attract even more bad consequences.

More often than not do we experience a change of force of attraction from negative to positive with a small smile, a little encouragement, a tiny surprise, a miniature appreciation, etc, when we were experiencing something negative. This change of force of attraction can drastically change any following consequences. Emotions are at play every second of our life and surprisingly, the first factor of power of attraction is emotions.

Yes, emotions are what determines attractiveness. Good emotions will form positive attraction forces while bad emotions will naturally form negative attraction forces. Hence, we must always do our best to maintain and develop positive emotions and feelings despite of any events or consequences arising aside from our own actions. Thus our actions must be acted upon good emotions with rationale thinking. Recklessness and bad emotions will not get you anywhere but worsening consequences and poor actions.

Knowing the types of emotions will not change a person's life instantaneously. In order for the Power of Attraction to work in favour of your own life, you must first master your own feelings and emotions. While knowing such facts makes it seems possible for changes to be materialised, more often than not, it requires more than just knowledge. Actions, as we have covered in the previous chapter, are the only way to work knowledge into reality. Visualising success will not bring success any closer than a person willing to soil his hands and sweat his body to work towards success.

Conclusively, we know the tools to success in life and the factors of success required while utilising the tools, thus it is time to set down our thoughts into actions and materialise what we have always dreamt of.

Once again, welcome to your own desires in life where you will begin the greatest journey set into the individualistic living of your own life.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Conclusion (Power of Attraction) - Desiring to Believing

2009-12-20T00:20:00.000-08:00

Finally, we come to the end of a long and deep chapter, but unfortunately, every end is a new beginning. Thus, welcome to both the conclusion of the power of desire and the prologue of the power of belief.

From the previous facts and opinions on the power of desire, we understood how to lay the path to utilise this limitless power as well as its complicating spectrum of domains. Understanding is only one out of all of the attributes to every power introduced in this e-book. Much as I wished to share everything with my readers, I am as limited as the amount of knowledge acquired up till then. I will continue to update, correct and change this e-book to ensure good qualitative information provided to my readers.

As such, the power of desire will be concluded here and now. The reminder to this chapter is to have a strong system of desires' platform and the ability to stretch throughout the spectrum so as to achieve your dreams and goals, or in short, your desires.

And hence, we shall begin on the Power of Belief. In an overview, the power of belief is useless in any sense given to a commonsensical person. Let's put it this way; it is useless to believe in something non-factual as it will NEVER occur regardless of any circumstances.

Since this useless power does not serve any sense or practicality, why should we know its existence? Why do we need this power? Why this and why that?

As this power has been used by great achievers since the birth of mankind, it explains everything which we have seen since the past, the present and the future. Conclusively, this power compromises of everything. Everything in definition here covers every successes and failures, peace and war, miracles and dreads, recorded into the history of mankind, the global current affairs and the futuristic idealogies.

Hearing this, we will tend to think that such statements are over-emphasised or exaggarated. In truth, I am only underestimating the real potential of this power of belief. Some of the readers here may have experienced or be known to this power at certain age. The earlier we know, the greater the experiences to come along in later years.

Titled above; 'Desiring to Believing', is simply changing our dreams and goals and wishes into substantial reality. This is relative to the movie and book titled; The Secret. 'The Secret' talks about the Power of Attraction, a secret used by the powerful and rich in the industrial age where they controlled the poor and worked the lower classes of income earners or called as labourers. Businesses were monopolies of individuals earning endless profits in compensation from the weak and tortured labourers. Income was simple, cheap and little.

Sadly, such occurances did not limit to just business but even politics and religions. The strong would manipulate the weak and eventually convert them. They were all using this useless power called the power of belief. Unbelievable to those who heard for the first time, understandable to those who knew for the zillionth time.

Introducing the power of attraction, this power simply lets you believe that you can achieve and eventually though the forces of the universe, this power will realise your thoughts through attracting virtuality into reality. This function is simply reread into the beginning factor of the power of belief. Read on the next chapter on the power of belief to know the first most important factor.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 2 (Spectrum of Desire) - Section C (Tenacity Desires)

2009-12-07T00:13:00.001-08:00

Are your truely prepared before reading on? If you are prepared, then unprepare yourself now. The very reason of such conflicting issue is due to the very nature of Tenacity Desires. Such desires are often laughed at, scorned and forgotten.

Why do we need such needless desires when the previous two spectrum sections of desire can suffice?

How can you survive if the universe s destroyed the next instance? This is the kind of questions Tenacity Desires have for you. The commonsensical answer to this is basically no.

However Tenacity Desires are what they are meant, tenacity! They are desires beyond the abilities of humans but are continually seeked and desired after. We watched movies after movies showing heroes and heroines. This is the very basic desire from Tenacity Desires. We desired to be heroes but without Tenacity Desires, we remained zero.

This desire is rooted in the Power of Belief/Believe. To believe something impossible is simply rereading impossible as "I-m-possible!". There is absolutely no way to attempt to achieve your Tenacity Desires if you use reality or factuality. To plan out your Tenacity Desires, finish this entire E-Book on Life Lessons. With the correct powers in hand, you can truely and really achieve what you desired without difficulty but it always come with the price of hardwork and believing.

A hint to Tenacity Desires: REMEMBER - I AM POSSIBLE! (I-M-POSSIBLE)

When the sky turns grey and the air rendered haze and fog. Fear not for life is the light of love living on in each living being. When you seek, look no further than the haze or fog. When you despair, watch no longer the greying skies. Stop and look, right into the depths of your small beating heart and silent mind. There lies the light and path against the coming storm.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 2 (Spectrum of Desire) - Section B (Temptation Desires)

2009-12-07T00:04:00.001-08:00

Overlaying your Truth Desires is your Temptation Desires. Temptation Desires are implicit in nature and occur without knowledge of the victim. While planning out your Truth Desires, we often planned out our Temptation Desires naturally. Temptation Desires can be found through critical reasoning and elimination.

Temptation Desires may include desires and needs such as the need to choose to eat, the desire of living at a chosen location regardless of need of survival, the wants to be satisfied after basic needs, etc. These desires are more subtle and indirectly relevant to our Truth Desires. It is alright to have Temptation Desires but on the condition of great care and strict adherence to Truth Desires.

The discussion for Temptation Desires is limited due to the complexity they can be created by the human mind. It is always wise to simplify complexities to avoid trapping oneself in an endless cycle of self-deceit and lies.

Having separated your Temptation Desires from your Truth Desires, we can surely proceed to set our final spectrum section of desire.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 2 (Spectrum of Desire) - Section A (Truth Desires)

2009-12-06T23:47:00.000-08:00

Knowing the tools to manage your desires is only one function of desire. Know we shall explore the types of desire spectrum lay in wait for us to find, use and achieve.

There are three spectrum sections of desire, namely the Truth, Temptation and Tenacity Desires.

The Truth Desires are simple, within reach and obvious. The desire to live, survive, eat, earn money, find spiritual needs, and others as found in Maslow's Pyramid of Human Needs. These desires are immediately clear and could be planned out easily with good discipline and management.

Knowing your what you really require for your Truth Desires is very important. This is the foundation of discipline to the next two spectrum sections of desire.

Once you have planned out your needs for your Truth Desires, we can prepare to move to the next spectrum section of desire. In the steps of preparation, we must utilise what we have learnt in part one and put the tools into use.

Remember to have solid actions to be taken towards your needs in every step, sharp focus and unwavering aim at your needs and finally, good discipline with high degree of accuracy to fulfill your needs. Needs are eventually what your Truth Desires are.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 1 (Factors of Desire) - Section E (Degree of Accuracy VS Disciplinary)

2009-12-06T23:23:00.000-08:00

Briefly, the degree of accuracy is how well you can focus and aim with your applied actions. The closer your goals and dreams are in your aim-board of desires to where you currently are, the easier it is to see how accurate your actions will propel you towards your desires.

As short-term desires are more easily fulfilled, we tend to go for achievements easily targeted and achieved. On the positive side, we get what we want without much effort or time. On the negative side, we became narrow-minded and we aim without much focus.

As time goes by, we found ourselves hitting targets as dangerous as ourselves. These come issues such as materialistic, slip-slop, happy-go-lucky, etc. With a windfall or sudden fortune, we often shorten our desires to get what we want immediately instead of preparing for long term dreams or future planning. This obviously resulted in over-spending and etc.

While most people see the future as uncertainty and preferred to enjoy life as they may often quote that "We only get to live once!" or "You'll never know what happens tomorrow!", they forgot entirely about their main desires. It is never wrong to enjoy life but it IS wrong to waste the life now. It is alright to pamper ourselves once in a while with excess money but it is disastrous to over-indulge in luxuries, hence ending up in huge recurring expenses, health problems, family negligence, etc.

Thus, knowing the degree of your accuracy will allow you to achieve your desires for both short and long term dreams, goals and plans. The closer your desires are, the lesser your degree of accuracy is require but on the other hand, the degree of disciplinary must be greater to compensate human errors!

Some people may take this chance to argue that would not it be alright to reduce the degree on disciplinary as the degree of accuracy increases? In truth, no. This is commonsensical as accuracy is in itself a form of derivation from discipline. The stronger your focus and aim are, the more discipline you will require to maintain accuracy of your actions as without good discipline, you will not be able to realise anything with whatever you do. On the same line, without discipline, your actions would likely start to differ from what you originally planned.

Conclusively, accuracy of an action requires a certain degree of discipline for that action. As quoted: Aim far and high but aim true with might!

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 1 (Factors of Desire) - Section D (Focus & Aim)

2009-09-02T07:41:00.000-07:00

The previous factors of desire touches on action. Yet action requires a purpose to function. We do not go to school to got to school nor do we study to study. We simply go to school to study. The action of going to school is given purpose of studying. As previously mentioned, action has consequence. The consequence of having the purpose of studying through the action of going to school is simply gaining required knowledge.

So what does focus truely means and how can it define the accuracy of our action?

Focus is to aim with certain degree of accuracy against distractions. With all the tools learnt in regard of putting thoughts into actions, we need to focus or aim our actions through our initial goals or thoughts.

Focusing is where most of our concentration is channelled towards our goals. Focusing is natural or by instinct derivative from our human mind. We tend to work towards our desires subconciously. In order to increase this focus, we need to tune our intensity of thought within our subconcious mind. As the term states, a subconcious thought is stronger than what consciousness acts. Contrary to this form of natural conditioning, we can put system of action into repeatitive which becomes a required system we work with.

The system of action is powerless against a conditioned thought but practice can tune [trick] our subconscious into habit operative. This is the contributive reason as to why humans have habits both good and bad. The repeating of a system of action simulates the conditions of a thought bringing the emotions felt and other stimulas in our body to experience the same process again and again, both mentally and physically. By being aware of the system of action repeated day after day and night after night, practice forms the conditions required for our subconscious mind to register the particular system of action into a habit.

With strong focusing tuning our subconscious mind into intensifying the accuracy of system of action involved, we can realise our thoughts slowly but surely. The degree of accuracy is relative to the Power of Belief which we will be touching on at the later part of this E-book.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 1 (Factors of Desire) - Section C (System of Action)

2009-04-26T07:09:00.000-07:00

After going through the two major types of action, we will now look at the general system of action.

Before we enter into this section of discussion, allow me to side track something relative to this sharing.

One day, while I was having breakfast in a shopping centre, I noticed the general surroundings of my country. As Singapore is small, many buildings are built close to each other due to land scarcity. As usual, the Mass Rapid Transport system continues to ferry commuters with trains arriving and departing in intervals of 2 to 6 minutes. A bus interchange is situated beside the MRT station, working a similar system as the MRT but with different transportation means. These two systems work concurrently every day and every night. While thinking about the systems these two transportation used, I began to wonder about our entire life as a complicated system.

Life's system begins when we are born, with the first cells replicating and functioning through the genetic information stored in the nuclei. Treating the cell as a human body, the nuclei would naturally be the brain, commanding several functions at once while replicating itself to form a new individually functioning cell. These cells multiply rapidly to form limbs, body parts, organs, and vessel systems in our body. The vessel systems include our blood system through arteries and veins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood), nerve system through axons and other nerve-functioning cells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve).

By the time we are conceived, we become a baby with all the required body functions to survive. As a baby, our desire system is simply to eat, sleep and defecate. When we reach teenage, we become interested in many things. Our desire system multi fold into wants and needs, ranging from basic necessities to futuristic desires.

When we enter into adulthood, wants and needs become simplified again. What we want is simply luxurious things for comfort and status while what we need is simply a steadfast job against retrenchment and high paying salaries to fuel the unlimited wants we humans have.

By the time we aged, we no longer worry about ourselves. We become focused on our next generations' needs, hoping to be together as long as possible before stepping into the void.

This 'complicated' system of life is easily understood but difficult to manage. To comprehend a need and a want is simple but to manage between both is far from easy.
Yet such is the system of life that we can enjoy and prosper in each centuries wit great innovations, inventions and victories.

These points of system of life do not suffice by themselves. These required a system of action to fully function and evolve.

The system of action is similar to any systems of function. To put action into function, we must first have a clear purpose in mind. Having a purpose in mind locks in the required focus against any distractions. Similar to the transportation systems, we do not see the MRT trains running on their own as they do not have a purpose of function on their own. These trains are either manually controlled or electronically programmed to a main directive system.

Having a clear purpose, the next step to execute a critical action towards a goal or desire would be to source available alternatives. Why is having one option of action insufficient or not advisable? The reason lies in the obstacles, seen or unseen, which could render the option inefficient, ineffective, inapplicable, etc. Having alternatives enable one to utilise all options for comparison between time, effort and progress upon application. Should a current option or resource fail, we would have other substitute to carry on towards our desired goal. This is similar to the management systems in any form of functions where should any emergency surfaces, a standard or pre-programmed procedure would kick in to solve or isolate the situation for recovery or change.

With the two steps completed, do not be hastily involved in executing an action. Always plan in advance for any possible situations and understand from all possible perspectives before going head-first into an action. To plan is to succeed, failure to plan is planning to fail. While we do plan for our desires and gaols, we often forget to plan our next step or action. When we get too involved in our purpose, we tend to neglect the consequences of our actions. All actions have consequences, before we do anything, consider all consequences. When someone picks a fight with another person, the first reaction would be to accept and fight for pride and strength. Should an alternative be available such as getting help or running away, consider each consequences. Our mind allow each of us to think in the speed of light. The main point is to not hesitate while keep moving. Move to make an act unreadable, think concurrently to plan for the general action towards the purpose.

So can we act upon our desires now? Yes...and no. While we have prepared sufficiently against any downsides of an action, we must also be open to other oncoming consequences of others' actions. While we act, we act to appear unoffensive. Always be open and firmto receive allies and deter enemies.

Previously, we touched on the two major types of action. The pro-activity refers to Step 1 and 3 of the system of action while Step 2 and 4 is managed with impromptu activity.

With the system of action, anyone would be able to achieve their desires through proper and reflexive actions.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 1 (Factors of Desire) - Section B (Types of Action)

2009-01-08T05:34:00.000-08:00

As we require action to take the first step into realising our thought, there are important types of action which affect our speed, length and depth of our process to achieving our thought.

In general, there are two types of action, namely proactive and impromptu.

Proactive actions are positive in nature and tend to propel you towards your goal in mind.Being proactive gives much opportunities for oneself to correct, change or revise the initial thought one has in mind.

The goal or target of the thought is the end-point which your actions should take you. Proactivity simply means to be initiative, voluntarism and foremost.

Impromptu actions are sudden and abrupt in nature. These actions are unreliable and rely heavily on instinct. Over-dependency on such actions will derail oneself from the initial goal.

Impromptu actions is dependent on circumstances, making them a poor choice in taking proper actions to move forward. Being impromptu is positive when dealing with changes but without initiative, it is difficult to guage the degree of distortion on our vision of our goal which affects our thought.

Having a balance between both gives flexibility in managing difficult situations and circumstances.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 5 [Power of Desire] - Part 1 (Factors of Desire) - Section A (Wants & Needs)

2009-01-07T20:56:00.000-08:00

In the previous short chapter, we covered on thoughts and how thoughts affect our lives. In this chapter, we shall cover humans' basics of life in regard to thought.

As we know, our thought represents our state of mind, be it an idea, a form of emotion, an action in progress or even a series of systems. As such, our thoughts form our needs and wants in our daily life.

Human needs and wants differ greatly in critical areas. Needs satisfy the basic requirements in life, such as water and food. Needs are the medium of survival in life.

What we required to live are needs. Wants satisfy not only the basics requirement in life, but the personal satisfaction desired by an individual, such as house, car, cash, etc.

Wants can become needs when they became part of a requirement for survival. This could be integrated into different levels of needs. Basic economic studies will cover on a detailed basis for this topic.

Needs and wants have a great difference which comes from desire. When you desire for something, someone or somewhere, this is a want. Desire for a thing for survival makes it a need generally.

Desire is the root to both needs and wants. Thought is the tool required to facilitate such desire. The drive in desire is called passion. The level of passion for something you want or need will determine the desire you have for it.

Desire is formed to achieve the thought in mind. This is the medium for thought to become thing. To realise a thought, sufficient desire is needed with a continuous drive or passion to achieve. Actions must be taken to facilitate the realisation of a thought.

In short, the formula for this process is:

'Thought + (Desire X Passion) + Action = Thing'

Where 'Desire X Passion' is determined by a want or a need.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 4 [Power of Imagination]

2009-01-01T05:33:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Chapter 4, Power of Imagination.

Ever wonder why we can innovate, create, design, manufacture, build or even destroy?

To realise any of the above actions, we must first have something as basis for the action. The basis for the action is non other than our own thoughts. In the book, 'The Secret', it said: Thoughts become things. This is absolutely true, only if you put action into your thoughts.

To innovate a pioneer work, one must first form an idea (thought) on it. Our mind is so powerful that we can virtually create things in our minds, form frameworks or even test and trial. This ability is present in everyone. To actually virtually perfect our thoughts depends on each of us individually. No one is stupid, only lazy.

Einstein wasn't smart when he was a child. Beethoven and Mozart both were handicapped since young. Great ideas, creations, innovations, works and structures require well formed thoughts to begin with. Good thinking needs practice, training and revision. All geniuses are learned, not born.

Having known about thought, there are positive and negative thoughts. Negative thoughts are stumbling stone to your progress and advancement. Positive thoughts encourage and provide confidence to continue on. Always maintain a positive outlook in your thinking to maximise potential of success of a thought or idea.

Remember, our imagination is limitless and broad like the universe. Never restricts oneself to his or her current stop. Widen the perspective within the mind, be open and maintain focus and discipline.

This chapter is very direct and straight forward, thus it is a very short chapter. Knowing the power of imagination and its existence is more than enough to prepare you for the next chapter. The ability to use our imagination lies with our mind and how well we are able to accept new changes and ideas from others. As I would like to restrict to the main content and explanation of each individual powers, I will not introduce other subjects relative to perspectives and ideas such as religious views and scientific inventions.

Once again, bear this in mind that "thoughts become things" from Napolean Hill. As we think, we form what we thought and from the structure formed, we place responses into making that structure a reality. This will be covered in greater details by the following chapter on the power of desire. The distinct difference between imagination and desire lies similarly with reality and virtuality. While one is not restricted to any form of structure, the other is limited to our five senses and basic needs to complex wants.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 3 [Power of Wisdom] - Conclusion (Self Defining) - Change

2008-12-31T04:50:00.000-08:00

Until now, we have been touching on the elements of the power of Wisdom. The purpose of wisdom is found to be related to change.

Why is this so? Change happens now and then, in disregard of time and location. Change's occurrence is as common as you breathe or speak. The needs to adapt to change, be in line with change and ahead of future changes bring about the importance of understanding change with knowledge.

New ideas are implemented every second, new innovations or designs are brought up every micro second, without the help of communication technology, such attempt to anticipate reaction-changes and response-changes are deemed impossible.

The Wisdom within Word or Speech which facilitates the structure of communication is the core medium to change. Wisdom comes, in major proportion, from experience and partially from control and openness.

Experience is to be felt and lived through individually. It is a personal lesson which tags itself upon Control and Openness.

Mistakes and errors form the medium of correction for experience. Through mistakes, we experience the placement of errors, enabling us to correct ourselves through Control and Openness.

Wisdom is thus built upon these factors, used and shared throughout humankind.

He who laughs is an eternal fool while he who learns becomes wise.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 3 [Power of Wisdom] - Part 2 (Openness)

2008-12-31T04:18:00.000-08:00

Wisdom exists in everyone, from the smartest to the dumbest, from the richest to the poorest, from the able to the broken and lastly, from a wise old man to a new born girl out of her mother's womb.

In this opening sentence, how many will agree instantly with me and how many will hesitate and how many will vehemently reject?

Many and little.

Being Open to this sentence does not mean accepting it wholly or in submission. Being Open does not mean adapting to it nor living by it.
Being Open does not mean...

In truth, Open means to objectively understand the sentence above (Notice that I used the word understand). Basically, it is easy to Prove that this sentence is wrong based on the Common understanding of the Common people. Proving requires Common knowledge and understanding from the Common. Then what does it mean to be Open?

Openness, unlike Acceptance, depends on the ability of the person to analyse things objectively and not subjectively. Basing all understanding on Common knowledge is not being objective. What other people say, be it a fact or rumour, does not represents what you personally want to say.

Take an example:

Child A and B grew up in two different villages. Child A is taught that an apple is an apple while Child B is taught that an apple is an orange (Sounds stupid right?). One day, Child A met Child B after ten years.

Child A: Hi! Do you want to eat this (he points at an apple)?

Child B: Hi...I'm full.

Child A: But this apple is delicious!

Child B: Apple?

Until here, Child B began rejecting Child A's fact that the apple is in fact an apple.

Child B: It is an orange!

Child A: No, stupid! This is an apple! It's red!

Child B: You are wrong, based on my parents, it is an orange, an apple is yellow!

Child A: ...

If Child A revoked, he would be insulting Child B's parent's intelligence. If Child B persisted, he too would be making an insult.

From this example, other than making a quick note to say that this is an irrelevant or impossible example, let's stand in Child B's shoes.

This world is changing forever, what we learnt today may not be what it is the next day. Knowledge and systems taught years ago required several revisions to maintain functionality in the current state. For Child B, his knowledge of an apple was in fact the knowledge of an orange. If we have been taught similarly to Child B's, without openness, our knowledge would have long perished. Should Child B took a different approach to be curious (Although curiosity often kills the cat...), he would have learnt that his situation and Child A's differed greatly.

This indicates that objectivity does not lie with facts but understanding and analysis. Scientists are the most open-minded humans as they are constantly exposed to changes in biotechnology, cosmic studies and other scientific knowledge. Einstein was wise, not because he is just smart, but because he is opened to the only constant thing in this entire universe, Change!

So is Openness equivalent to Change?

No! Openness is a requirement to understand Change, without understanding, there can be no acceptance nor adaptivity. Understanding is thus the root of Openness.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 3 [Power of Wisdom] - Part 1 (Control) - Section C (Surrounding Noise)

2008-12-16T07:54:00.000-08:00

In the previous sections, we covered important internal areas affecting our Control on speech carrying forth intentions. In this section, we shall look outward unto our surroundings.

Circumstances, incidents, happenings and our immediate surroundings are indeed beyond our control. From time to time, our intentions get so distorted that severe misunderstandings and feud arise. Surrounding Noise is an unchangeable factor influencing the depth and width of distortion on our intention through mediums of communications. Some examples of noise can be easily felt and found in our everyday life, namely crowded areas, heavy traffic, rain and even strong gusts blowing by. In scientific explanation, we will easily understand how Noise affects us both directly and indirectly.

However, using scientific explanations is beyond the general scope for this topic. To some, specification is needed but we must understand that there is no need to complicate life further with more complications. In agreement, generalisation might, at times, overlook matters or cause stereotyping. Yet specification does an equilibrium damage or infliction as generalisation. On basis of both, it is a matter of openness (which we will cover at a later part of the chapter) and forgiveness which affects the ability to maintain positive balance over these two points.

Returning to Surrounding Noise, we shall use a general approach to discuss this stubborn factor. The contributing element to manage noise effectively is Choice. Choice is made by everyone, every time and everywhere. In the situation of speech, conveyance is made and altered significantly by noise. It requires more than one person's choice of opinion to overcome or en route the original intention. When the receiving party chooses an option in reply to the distorted intention from the providing party, the receiver has attempted to retain or seek the original intention. If the providing party remains status quo against the surrounding noise, the intention will still be distorted and what the receiver attempted to find will still be the foremost result.

Since there is almost nothing possible to change our surroundings, we must either adapt to or advert from the surroundings. In adapting, we either enter into the similar frequency of noise or we attempt to adapt through personal change. In a loud environment, we can raise our voice to match or surpass the distortion level. Or else, we can choose body language or silence to adapt against the current noise. In adverting, we totally avoid the surroundings and find another positive surrounding which fits our conveyance frequency level of intentional output.

To sum up, ask yourselves in every conversation, speech, debate and discussion;

'What can I do to improve the quality of my intention? Have I considered my counterpart's situation (What is he or she conveying, is it distorted by personal opinions?)? Any options of choice I can make to reduce noise?'

Remember, knowledge is gain in every exchange of words. Be responsible and sensitive to your own words and other people's feelings or emotions. This applies to any cultures and believes.

In the coming Part 2, Openness, we shall cover the next basis for Wisdom.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 3 [Power of Wisdom] - Part 1 (Control) - Section B (Sound's Circumstance)

2008-11-25T17:37:00.001-08:00

Previously, we covered personal voice, the critical aspect of the power of word. For this section, we will be touching on sound of the circumstance, similarly known as the atmosphere of communication. This is similar to noise of the surrounding or surrounding noise. Both depended on the environment in which word is transmitted.

Sound and noise have common attributes and significant differences. The major difference relates to the source from which either of each begins. Sound is provided by opinions and perceptions underlying the word discussed or transmitted over the environment. Sound is secondary to the personal voice we filtered when we transmit word. Word undergoes three critical levels of filtration which are known earlier as personal voice, sound's circumstance and surrounding noise.

As we have achieved a certain level of control over our personal voices (bias, perceptions, believes, etc), we can control the first level of filtration. Word is still adulterated by sound's circumstance, which prevented the real intent from transmitted to the desired party. Sound's circumstance affects our ability to control as sound becomes an external factor of filtration. Nevertheless, we can tune our words to circumvent the distortion caused by the circumstance.

In greater detail, we take a topic of drinking coffee and tea as an example to illustrate the sound's circumstance. The characters involved will be Sam, Lee and Ake.

Background of the characters: Sam is a neutral participant of this topic. Lee loves coffee and has a bad attitude while Ake loves tea and has a pleasant character.

Lee: Hello Sam, it's been a while...

Sam: Hi there, how are you doing?

Lee: I'm very stressed, how about a cup of cold coffee to cool my steam off while I explain further?

Sam: Sounds good! Should I invite Ake over?

Lee: Whatever, I need to go soon anyway.

Until now, we can directly infer that Sam and Ake are on good terms while Lee and Ake are not. This will affect the direct intentions between Sam, Lee and Ake to different degrees.

In a Cafeteria...

Ake: Hi, you must be Lee! I'm-

Lee: I know, Ake right? Sam told me before.

Sam: Let's go order some beverages, I'm thirsty!

Lee and Ake: Right!

During the queue...

Sam: What are you having?

Ake: Tea-

Lee: Coffee! Didn't I told you so?

Sam: Right. I forgot, I will just buy a bottle of mineral water. Caffeine doesn't suits me.

Lee: Coffee is good, it helps to keep us awake.

Ake: Tea is better, brewed naturally and not as strong as coffee.

Lee: No, that's rubbish, Tea has weird tastes which tingles your mouth.

Ake: Maybe, but tea is calming and smooth...

Lee: Calming? Bah!

Notice that when Lee started to give his opinion on his perspective of coffee, he was speaking in defence of his words. On the other hand Ake did not retaliate as strongly as Lee. In Sam's position, he will be exposed to the opinions and perspectives of Lee and Ake. Being neutral, he has significant control over his own personal voice. Now we shall see how Sam would reply to both Lee and Ake individually and concurrently.

After the beverages are bought...

Sam: Coffee is strong but refreshing while tea is natural but scented-

Lee: What do you mean by scented? Tea has no scent! Coffee's aroma is the proof of it!

Ake: Tea does have scent. Taste it to-

Lee: No thanks!

Sam: Actually, Lee, you should be more open to Ake's-

Lee: So are you siding him now? Thanks! I'm done, see you again.

Lee walked away after finishing his coffee while Ake and Sam stared at one another.

In this situation, Sam has absolutely no control over Lee's perceptions. Similar to any form of situation, a person's opinion is believed to be right (even if it's wrong) by the person himself or herself. When an opinion or perception is challenged, he or she will defend it. This defensive notion is caused by either a direct intent to challenge the other party or distorted by the overwhelming circumstance. This distortion is sound where strong opinions and perspectives are mixed, causing misunderstanding and false intent. In order to reduce such possibility of misunderstanding, taking a neutral or factual stand is the most effective method. Using general facts prevents the defensive party from feeling totally challenged but some facts which are unknown to the party would result in futility.

Please note that sound's circumstance is a complicating factor. Through generalising, some important points may be left out which may provide better understanding regarding this section. Feel free to email me at williamswee611@hotmail.com for further clarifications.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 3 [Power of Wisdom] - Part 1 (Control) - Section A (Personal Voice)

2008-11-23T17:42:00.000-08:00

On the conclusion to Chapter 2, we touched on the broad definition on the power of word. Word or language has been a form of communication, expression and physical touch of feelings or emotions for millions of years. Since humans first dwell on the surface of Earth, voice, sound, noise and other mediums of vocal are used to convey messages, feelings or emotions.

To understand how this power invites the greater power of wisdom, we have to understand the roots of word. Word itself holds no meaning, it only acts as a medium to transit intentions. The basis of word relies on images, scenes and pictures. When someone shouts "Fire!", what is the first image that comes to your mind? Is it a flowing blue river? Is it the green serene leaf resting on a branch?

No! The image or images that come will be red, orange or blue-green flickering substance that burns everything it touches. Word is created by humans to act as a medium of intention, for transition vocal.

To know wisdom requires many factors, from control to openness. Control is to have power over what you do. Control is itself a form of power to be used for or against something. To have control is to have power, and how is control related to word? When we speak, we tend to convey what we think we intended to convey. Unfortunately, such intent fails to do as we thought it would.

Word without control will depend strongly on the circumstances and surroundings in which it is being transmitted. This is where our personal voice, sound of the circumstance and the noise from the surrounding come into play. In our personal voice, we hold many factors which either clarifies or distorts the actual word we intended to convey.

Simple Exercise:
Say: "I am you" in front of a mirror to yourself. Use three different tones and discover the differences our tonality affects the way others hear our actual intentions. First, say the above sentence in an angry manner, loud, offensive and vehement. Second, say it in a neutral, monotonous way. Third, say it in an affectionate, happy and blissful attitude.

The above exercise portrays the actual situations occurring every instances we talk to anyone, anywhere. Bias and perceptual interference affects our word primarily, to state the actual word, we have to exercise absolute control on our feelings and emotions. It is alright to be bias on someone or display emotional speeches. The main point is to be sensitive to the way our intentions changes with our attitude, behaviour and emotion.

There are many layers of appearances which constitutes to the factor above. The first outer-most layer is the way others (strangers) view you, through your first impressions (Where many often quote: The First Impression Counts!"), visible actions, behaviour of attitude portrayed, etc. The second layer is the way you wanted others (your friends, family and partner) to see you, through your character, interests, hobbies, lifestyle, etc. The third layer holds the way you see yourself, your personal attitudes, culture, environment of growth (both nature and nurture), etc. The fourth inner-most layer is where your true self lies, unseen, unknown, untouched. The last layer of appearance is what you are meant to be, in life, many depicts it as the journey of soul searching.

The appearances above is similar to our body, mind, soul and spirit. Often than not, our appearance determines the word of way we used to convey intentions. To be able to discover your inner-most self, you will be able to hold control over your character, personalities, attitudes, perceptions and finally...your life.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 2 [Power of Truth] - Conclusion (The Truth Behind Truth) - The Power of Word

2008-08-03T22:42:00.001-07:00

In this final conclusion to the power of truth, everyone have known the advantages and disadvantages of the various degrees of truth. But what is the truth behind all these comparison? Are these facts the lessons for this simple power which a three years old child also know? The truth is no.

So if the power of truth is just mere facts, what lies behind this great power to change life?

Patience readers, the real power controlling the level of truth is in fact the power of word. This power is not introduce in the first part of this chapter is to allow room for understanding before diving into a greater knowledge.

The power of word means that the amount of impact a word, phrase or sentence has from one person to another. This power is as great as the power of mind or power of imagination. An encouragement could brighten a moody Monday or a sacism could darken the skies of the rest of the sunny Sunday. We have the various powers in life to use these powers for good or for evil. This power is also know as control. The strength of control allow us to manipulate emotions or feelings generated from the responses of our words. As quoted from the 'Spiderman' movie where his uncle once said, "With great power comes great responsibility".

These simple terms we heard in our everyday lives seem to have little or no impact in our daily routine compared to now. The reason is also rooted to this mystical yet double-edged power. The way I used my words either build positive feelings or generate negative and defensive responses from my readers. If you agree on my views, you would naturally feel glad, happy or joyous to meet a like-minded. If you disagree or reserved prejudices against my views, you would feel repelled, angered or even disgusted.

These examples constituted to my reason for not disclosing this power in the early part of this chapter, and I've to admit that it kind of bored my readers, even myself.

A word or caution to my readers:

Word is power
Control is strength
With power comes strength
The mind to control power
The heart to say with strength
Use wisely the power of word
As it bears the power of wisdom

So now, I'll officially introduce you the relative power to the power of word and truth. The power of wisdom. Wisdom is often mistaken for intellect or smart. Wisdom is neither plain understanding nor complex mental structure. Wisdom does not come only with age. Wisdom is the growth of humanity. Wisdom is within everyone, ranging from the lunatic, to the depressed, to the poor, to the rich, to the newly born.

Before we continue, lets recap on the various powers we have touched on so far:
Power of Love
Power of Truth
Power of Word/Speech
Power of Wisdom

I'll disclose the next powers to be discussed in near future:
Power of Imagination
Power of Desire/Passion
Power of Belief
Power Within

These eight great powers can be found discussed over many topics, experiences, biography, debates and even social forums. These powers are touched upon by many religions and believes. These powers are at play every moment. These powers are residing within us in silence.

Continuing with the power of wisdom, it is a power similar to control. With knowledge comes understanding which brings solution. In the next chapter, we'll uncover the reactions and responses the power of word can create and further on, we'll fully explain the power of wisdom, hence known as control.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 2 [Power of Truth] - Part 3 (Half-Truths)

2008-06-17T21:08:00.000-07:00

Before we proceed with this chapter, we have earlier touched on truths and lies. If truths are hard to say and lies are troublesome and questionable, will half-truths do?

No. Half-truths are strongly discouraged. To an average listener, half-truths may just be the simple truth to them but half-truths doesn't give the full answer. An experienced listener will easily notice the "gaps" between your words or things left out and substituted with something else entirely.

This chapter will be brief and short as half-truths are easy to understand and simply, the truth untold. Some people may think that half-truth is an art of speaking what the person wants to hear but not what the person needs to hear. The want and need factors are the presence of half-truth. When you satisfy a need,you are given the truth, when you satisfy a want, you only give an illusion need or half-truth. Imagine a person telling you something you want to know versus telling you something you need to know. How would you feel when you get what you want? You feel that you are given the truth. You feel satisfied by the answer. Yet how would you feel when you get what you need? Needless to say, you are given the truth and you are satisfied. This compared to the feeling of that is the difference in the time required to be truly known to the truth. Half-truth only provides a brief assurance or respite. After the period of feeling satisfied, the questioning begins again. You will feel empty again from the brief satisfactory gained from half-truth.
This is strongly similar to our everyday life.
In all, half-truth is similar to a lie, it only gives a temporary assurance. It is advisable to speak the truth as the truth will set you free from the binds of lies or the probing half-truths.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 2 [Power of Truth] - Part 2 (Truths V.S. Lies)

2008-01-18T19:38:00.000-08:00

From the previous post, we learnt about truths, half truths and lies. In the second part of this chapter, we compare and explore about the two main conflicting truths and lies.

Everyone knows that truths are the medicines for all sought-after questions, like (the most common) "Do you love me?" or "Did you cheat at me?" or "Where have you been last night?". These questions often dig at our conscious, asking the portion of truth which at times, or most of the time, hurtful to both the questioner and replier.

Take for example, a 18 years old female went out to party at a nearby night club, being late again for dinner as usual. Her mother asked, "Where have you been?"

In this situation, the young woman would likely answer with, "Nowhere." or "Group studying..." or "Just leave me alone!"...

Now consider the above answers. We personally know that these answers are likely to either lead to more questions or simply heated arguments. I have to admit that when I was young, I often lied, and even now, just to avoid getting a lashing or long lectures. Nobody is perfect and most of the time, we often have to lie to "save our skins" from brutal punishments.

If the young woman replied with, "I went out for a girl's night." or "Drinking." or "Wasting myself!"...

Such blatancy would have hurt her worried mother and it is unwise. Having said here, we know about the disadvantages of both lies and truths, and of course the advantage of lies.

Without my clarifying, the advantage of truths is very simple. Truths give a sense of security and understanding, similar to showing you heart on your sleeves, providing the questioner the most sought-after answers but at the same time, equally feared.

Truths are not hurtful if they are handled properly. Take for example, "I went out to a nearby club to de-stress, sorry mum, I'll notify you next time." How would you feel being the questioner? She has explained herself and moreover, taken responsibility for her action. Remember the consequences from the previous examples and compare with this consequence. We know that this is the desired result and...I know how some viewers will comment, "Easier said than done!"...but think about the bravery and courage shown! It is not a must but a personal choice. You can lie saying, "I went out studying with my friends, you can ask..." How long winded was that? How troublesome would that be? Would there be any more probings? This consequence has began to breed another action.

What if the young woman did study but at an earlier time with her friends and them as positive witnesses? This situation will bring about more suspicions if the truth is not provided. Why? The mother could have asked in a more subtle manner, "Does your school closes at midnight?" or "I didn't know the library opens into the late night! So?"

Thus, behold! The subtle game of truth and lie begins! I seriously do not encourage parents or the children to play such games. It will end in a terrible and awkward result hurting not just the questioner or the replier. Other innocent parties may be indirectly involved! Bad things tend to grow uncontrolled and such ugly incident would have embarrassed everyone.

With all these facts and examples, you might ask where is "half truths" then? We will be touching on it on part 3 of this chapter.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 2 [Power of Truth] - Part 1 (Truths and Half-Truths and Lies)

2007-09-24T23:18:00.000-07:00

Before introducing the second spiritual power, I would like to explain that the Power of Love belongs to the spiritual level, basis to the Power of Truth which I will be revealing now.

Truths are the antithesis of Lies. Everyone knows that truths are real while lies are false. Honesty, one positive characteristic of a human, brings about truths. Truths are complete reality and honesty to every actions and every consequences. Truths are often deem to be cruel in relationships. Truths are often deem unfeeling to anyone. Yet everyone knows that irregardless of the situations, truths are still what a person sought when it comes to understanding. The Power of Truths can be direct but hurtful. On the other hand, it is one power which can free a person from the ever growing responsibilities from the actions and consequences he or she is involved.

Lies are complete cunning and delusion. Lies are preferred to truths as they provide the least probing and shortest route out of an action or consequence. Unfortunately, lies can only be covered by lies or half truths. More lies means more irresponsibility, more lies also means more actions and consequences. Actions and consequences are impartial and provide the move-and-occur situation to anyone. When a lie is made, an action, mainly negative, will be made. When a negative action is made, a bad consequence will occur. When a bad consequence occur, one must return to the action and consequence cycle to "solve" the previous cycle. More lies will only breed more uncertainties and suspicions. In order to stop this vicious, self delusive cycle, truth has to be introduced.

Half truths are immediately recognised as they provide uncertainty and suspicion. Lies can be concealed easily or expertly but half truths require skills, which I personally do not recommend. Lies are just as easily discovered as it is concealed. Half truths hint about the truths but will not answer a direct question as effectively. This is the main reason to half truth's disadvantage. A direct question require a direct answer which only truths or lies are capable of giving.

Since Lies are easily discovered, why do we still choose them over Truths? The reasons are that Lies provide fast and easy excuses but do not consider the building consequences.

Truths are the best answers to all questions, consider well before a lie as lie only breeds lies but truths stop all suspicions and uncertainties.

Learn the Power of Truth and be released from the bogging Lies and Half Truths!

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 1 [Power of Love] - Conclusion (Love's Conditions) - True Love V.S. Obsession

2007-08-09T22:47:00.000-07:00

From the previous chapter, we learned to live life loving. This chapter, we will learn about the perceptions about love.

Many people living in this world seek love as a light guiding a lost soul in the void. In spiritual term, love is to love all living beings, regardless of appearances, characters, personalities, habits and origins. This term of love is the One who is capable of giving. For a human to attain this capability of power in love, he is more or less a person worthy of ultimate respect and honour.

In physical term, love is an action to care, protect, hold, keep, defend for. This love is what a human is capable of. Physical love has two kinds. One is called true love. The other is called obsession. The roots of its power comes from desire. Desire clouds the mind from physical obstacles, enabling the person to achieve a temporary ability to overcome certain containment.

This brief explanation about desire will be covered in detail in the next few chapters.

True love is love overriding all definition to explain actions done out of love itself. True love is reasonable, understanding, forgiving, non-bias, in-depth, compromising and simple. True love is the giving of learning where learning takes place everywhere. When it comes to love, human tend to mixed it up with 'make love' or to be direct, 'sex'. It is something sensitive and to religions, a topic not to be discuss in public. Unfortunately, sex is something entangled in love.

Unlike obsession, a true love does not emphasise on it. In true love, sex is a process of spiritual combining of two individuals into a whole, the result or the fruit~a new-born baby with the joy and happiness from both the father and the mother. Every human comes into this world to find a partner to fulfill the love missing. True love is not unconditional sacrifice nor the opposite. True love is to provide understanding of the partner's needs and reasonably fulfill his or her needs with non- bias and in-depth compromising. To learn love is to learn life.

Obsession is also love, but it is the love for someone or something, deeply based on unconditional sacrifices. This love neglects the person himself or herself, in the process damaging the soul. How so? Obsession is more complex than true love. Obsession can lead to extreme emotions such as anger, vengeance*, jealousy, suspicion, envy, deprivations. Such emotions are negative and harmful to the person himself or herself. Obsession is both positive and negative. Positive because it is a desire for someone or something, giving strength and power to achieve one's want. Yet this positive can become negative as it neglects the person's soul and body and attempts to achieve one's want. How so? Our emotions are affected by two main factors, first is internal and second is external. Internal is the inner perception or view on certain subjects, if we rejects a source, we will evoke an emotion in response. External is the evoking of emotions using sources from others. When we do sacrifices to earn love, it is both internal and external conditions affecting ourselves. Love is not to be earned but to be given. Love is unconditional by itself. Should needless sacrifices made to earn love from the other person, it is pleasing and not loving.

Love lasts because of understanding, not pleasing. A person can never please another person infinitely. When one failed to satisfy the other needs, it becomes conditioned. Unknowingly, love in obsession becomes conditioned to the needs or wants of the other party. Why conditioned love when love can be achieved through understanding freely?

Love must not be used for condition, under condition or by condition. Love is to be used for learning, understanding and compromising.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 1 [Power of Love] - Part 3 (The Love of Life)

2007-07-22T07:26:00.000-07:00

Coming to this conclusion of love, I have to thank a very important person whose name I will not disclose. His idea of passion allows me to summarise all of this chapter about love.

Passion as we know is a very powerful mental force which can drive a person beyond reality limitations.

Passion is born from belief which I will cover in the next chapter. Passion is what brings about a person's desire which I will also cover in later chapters. Knowingly, passion is love and thus love is a force as strong as desire. In life, when we desire for certain things, we must have the passion for them, be it a necessity or desire. The necessity of living brings about the passion to live, the desire to survive. There is a survival mechanism called survival instinct and it derives from the very core of necessity. With love, we carry with us passion and other attributes mentioned previously.

We treasure life as we love life, we treasure relationship as we love our kins. Should we one day hear someone say:"Don't force me or I will die before your eyes!", ask them if they bear to let their kins suffer on after the selfish death!

Nowadays, many young adults have chosen the 'easier way out' of stress, work, relations... Many have submitted to failures and lost the passion or love to live on. Yet heed this call: Out there in the world, all humanity hinges on a single thread of life. Waste not for others out there more unfortunate desire life more than you do! Live live loving, love oneself and inflict not pain but joy in others. Love others to see that others will love you in return. Desire not for rewards for you will only gain emptiness, love not the greed for temptation for you will only reap evil.

A little help for the desperate; seek what you may but always return to your close ones for love is cultivated upon the fields of care and concern. Doubt not the home which houses our birth, trust not in the lures of the soft dunes of uncertainty. Confusion sets in with fear and thus calm and serenity are the refuge against tides of odds and obstacles. A clear mind will bring a well of peace while stubbornness will only dig a trench of misery.

Love will be the embrace for life as life will be the embrace for the passionate.

Passion reveals the final path to living life loving.

For people in need of a listening ear, my humble door shall be opened for all. The world may be thought cruel only in the mind of cruelty but I seek peace and joy in giving what love of humanity left.

Here concludes Chapter 1, for enquires, please email me at williamswee611@hotmail.com.

Critics are welcome to serve as an outlook of reference for perspectives.

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 1 [Power of Love] - Part 2 (Nemesis of Love)

2007-07-19T05:55:00.000-07:00

In Part One, we learnt about the power of love. For Part Two, we will learn about Love's greatest and common nemesis, Vengeance.

Vengeance is hate, revenge, anger, retribution, pay back, retaliation, reprisal and the commonly known...an eye for an eye.

Vengeance is an action in a form of emotion. Vengeance arises from hatred, defeat, unforgiving, weakness, loyalty.... We know that the most common and easiest negative emotion to occur in most situation is anger. Anger is a negative emotion which is easily provoked into. It brings about actions such as vengeance and arises from other related negative emotions such as envy and jealousy. Characteristics such as loyalty and stubbornness can lead to anger too. Being too loyal to a person, one will recklessly treasure and protect him or her. When the person is under threat or mishap, one will use anger to invoke vengeance against the other party.

Many argued that the above case is justified in action but be warned that such emotions are negative to our mind and body. Negative emotions have after effects of causing fatigue and severe adrenaline rush which is harmful to our internal organs as adrenaline forces our heart, lungs, brain and other organs to work harder. Under severe stress caused by adrenaline, we tend to suffer from fatigue. Such negative emotions are advisable to be controlled.

Studies have shown that short-tempered people live a shorter life than mild-tempered people. Always learn to master our emotions so as to master our lives. Many mistakes arise from uncontrolled emotions and actions cause by these are always destructive to oneself and to others.

Love has always been the prove against time where vengeance never cease to create troubles.
With time, love can solve all problems in the world. By loving oneself, we forgive our past mistakes. By loving others, we forgive their past mistakes. Yet be mindful of abusing the power of love or taking it for granted. Forgiving of mistakes does not mean the space to repeat the same mistakes. Such abuse will lead to disappointment from surrounding friends and family.

Vengeance will cause a chain reaction of problems and troubles, leading one to another. Vengeance clouds a person rational mind or thought, causing severe consequences.
Vengeance breeds vengeance which will go on forever.
Vengeance breaks relationships and destroy love.
Vengeance seeks similar causes to multiply the destructive nature of the consequences.
Thus, vengeance is an emotional tool not to be used at all costs.

The vicious cycle of vengeance can only be stopped by love. Learn to love for live life loving to be fruitful in life!

Life Lessons: Live Life Loving - Chapter 1 [Power of Love] - Part 1 (What is Love?)

2007-07-13T06:02:00.000-07:00

Love in general, is a strong emotion or feeling expressed or exhibited to others. It is also a desire of need. Love is a power that rules all the forces of emotions, except its nemesis (Vengeance). Life focuses on the power of love for love drives us in life.

Love can heal a broken soul or turn relationships into disasters. Love provides comfort and security but invokes jealousy and envy.

The power of love itself is sufficient to change major situations, personalities, ideologies and even life itself.

This power is similar to all other powers in this world. It has positive and negative feedback when used.

Positive feedback can be seen commonly in everyday lives. The love of family causes a man to persevere through all or most hardships. The love of life causes a man to treasure himself.

Negative feedback can only be seen by others and not the person himself. The power of love can blind a person from his greatest fear or obstacle and more so that the person neglects the consequences from abusing this power. The excessive love of money invoked through negative characteristic such as greed causes a man to be self-centered. The excessive love of a person through jealousy and envy, causes a man to be over protective.

In my personal view, the meaning of life is dependent on a person, be it love or happiness.

My definition is love for love drives the meaning of life, a force that motivates or destroys.
