Forgive, Learn and Move On

Lots people used to say, life is full of choices

U may think it in a positive way and u may think it in a negative way

Negative way is to keep complaining that why u have been given so much choices which makes ur life misserable.

Positive way is to be grateful that u have been given choices in ur life that u can choose.

Irregardless u choose the right or the wrong one, but definately u have thought about it before u make ur choice, so stick with it and believe with what u have chosen.

Sometimes, u will find out that it was the wrong choice.

Accept the fact that u have made the mistake, made the wrong choice.

Forgive yourself, learn from it and MOVE ON.

Lots people can't just move on because they can't forgive themselves for the mistakes they have done to themselves or others.

If you can't move on, ask yourself, have you forgive yourself for the mistakes you have done??

How may years you have sufferred for this and how many more years you plan to keep yourself suffering???

Is time to let go........

Is time to forgive yourself.....

Is time to learn from the mistakes....

Is time to MOVE ON.......

Make It With You by Olivia Ong

Hey, have you ever tried
really reaching out for the other side?
I'm maybe climbing on rainbows
but baby here goes

Dreams, they're for those who sleep
life is for us to keep

and if you're wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it boy

No! you don't know me well
and every little thing only time will tell
if you believe the things that I do
and we'll see it through

Life can be short or long
love can be right or wrong
and if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it boy

Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep
life it's for us to keep

and if i chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it boy

感言：
很少看综艺节目的我
第一次在星光PK听见她的歌声
wow, 好喜欢她的歌声
就这样，olivia ong 进入了我的生活
她翻唱了旧歌，最喜欢这一首
很喜欢歌词，特别是这一句
“Life can be short or long
love can be right or wrong
and if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you”

里头所说的，的确很对
生命因无长而珍贵
爱情没绝对
而是选择

生命与爱情，因为不完美而美丽
因为难得而珍贵，就要更珍惜
也该说，人生因此不完美而完美吧！

最近也在报章看了一篇，忘了里头的整个内容
所记得是，大概是说
一个45岁的女人，最希望找一个可以在晚年陪她谈天的伴侣
看来，爱情不一定要轰轰烈烈
找个能分享心得，分担喜怒哀乐
接受彼此的不完美
好在晚年，有人陪喝茶，谈天。。。

Live Like We're Dying by Lenka

One of these days
you’ll be under the covers
you’ll be under the table
and you’ll realize

all of your days are numbered
all of them one to one hundred
All of them millions
All of them trillions

So what are you gonna do with them all?
You can not trade them in for more
No no

Take every moment
you know that you own them
It’s all you can do
use what’s been given to you

Give me a reason to fight the feeling
that there’s nothing here for me.

Cause none of its easy
I know it wasn’t meant to be
I know it’s all up to me
I know it’s all up to me
So what am I gonna do with my time? oh

I'll take every moment
I know that I own them
It’s all up to you to do whatever you choose

Live like you’re dying and never stop trying.
It’s all you can do
use what’s been given to you

All of the moments you didn’t notice
gone in the blink of an eye.

And all of the feelings you can help feeling
no matter how you try
Oh oh

Take every moment
you know that you own them
It’s all up to you to do whatever you choose

Live like you’re dying and never stop trying
It’s all you can do
use what’s been given to you

Live like you’re dying and never stop trying
It’s all up to you
use what’s been given to you

人间

风雨过後不一定有美好的天空
不是天晴就会有彩虹
所以你一脸无辜 不代表你懵懂
不是所有感情都会有始有终
孤独尽头不一定惶恐
可生命总免不了 最初的一阵痛
但愿你的眼睛 只看得到笑容
但愿你流下每一滴泪 都让人感动
但愿你以後每一个梦 不会一场空

天上人间 如果真值得歌颂
也是因为有你 才会变得闹哄哄
天大地大 世界比你想像中朦胧
我不忍心再欺哄 但愿你听得懂

风雨过後不一定有美好的天空

该何去何从

想想。。。

回想从前，一动笔，灵感就来了
有人说，
一个著名的作者，其实是一个悲伤的人
一个有名的作曲者，也是一个伤感的人

也许吧？可能我比以前开心了吧
不，应该说，我不在像以前那么执著，那么的彷徨吧！

起码，我有了人生第一，也可能是唯一的一个目标。

The Mind

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character;

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

When u look back, it all comes from the mind. Get your mind back to the right view and it is never too late for the real happiness and peacefulness.

Yoga

After yesterday shooting, a friend of mine who is the photographer asked me, what is Yoga??

I almost forgot that i used to be one of those who used to think that yoga is about postures. Not only postures, but is about the 'impossible' postures. It is nothing wrong to think like that because it is what we 'SEE' and 'HEAR'.

Postures or Asana is one of the elements in yoga, which is the minor one. The main element is the truth of yoga which by using your body, experiencing and observing your body, understanding your body and ACCEPT your body.

I used to mention in the class. The flexibility in yoga is not all about the body flexibility. It is the mind flexibility.

"What to you mean by mind flexibility? The mind is stretchable?".

It is the extend of the mind to learn to accept the things that you can or cannot do, to accept things that you are able and not able to do. It is the flexibility of the mind that we are talking about.

For sure things that we can do, we are so proud of ourselves. If we over react about it, it becomes show off or ego.

How about things that we cannot do? We will try our very best to avoid it or we keep on accusing ourselves that we have not done our very best and we need to be a better man? We become low in self-esteem.

We need to understand that everyone is unique in their own way. How far more better man that you can be?? When every times you do or go beyond what you can do and keep on doing it, you will be tired. When things that you have done and it did not turn out to be what you wanted, you become frustrated and unhappy. If things keep on going like this, you will become depression and lost.

Yoga is to teach you to learn to ACCEPT who you are. By doing the postures or asana, without any expectation, you just do it. Without judging whether you can or cannot do that postures, without categorizing the postures or asana, you just try it. Even without doing that postures or asana, you are actually practicing yoga. Because, yoga is teaching us to let go and accept who we are. Even you did not manage to do the postures or asana, but you have learned to let go the expectation and open up your mind and try it. You didn't feel sad or bad even you did not manage to do it, you are practicing acceptance. Acceptance towards your body, acceptance towards what you can and cannot do. Acceptance about the imperfection. This is the flexibility that yoga is talking about.

"Relaxation and lying down on the floor will be just lying there? I am a over active kind of person, how can i do that? It seems to be mission impossible to me "

Lying doesn't mean by just lying without purpose. You need to focus on you breathing, observing each of your inhale and exhale and feel the existence of yourself at this present moment.

Throughout this process, you will notice that a lot of things suddenly pop up in your mind, things that matter or doesn't matter to you. It is the NATURE OF THE MIND. You do not have to reject the projection of the mind instead put your focus and concentration on your breathing, observing each of the inhale and exhale. Don't feel bad if your focus and concentration have slipped away with all those projection, pull it back to your breathing. It definitely takes times to learn to focus. It may takes months or years, but it is never impossible.

If someday that you will realize after few practices that all these projection in the mind become lesser and lesser. It doesn't mean you are able to control the projection of the mind, the mind is still the mind, but you have move your focus and concentration to your breathing and you just let the mind be the mind. It is when you can feel the peacefulness inside yourself. You will also feel content and real.

Sometimes, we keep on searching on the peacefulness and contentment by going to a specific place or by doing a specific thing in order to find the peacefulness or happiness. But, it is only a moment of peacefulness and happiness that you are talking about. After you left the place or did the thing, you will be back to emptiness.

Yoga teaches us to understand the nature all of beings and by understand that all beings is impermanent, you will be able to search for real peacefulness and happiness. Detachment is one of the way.

When you are doing a certain postures which you hated the most as it stretches your nerves and you are in pain, but by giving no response to this feeling and detach from it, by understanding that feeling just the feeling and it is impermanent and it will pass. You are learning detachment.

After release yourself from the postures or asana, all the feelings that you have just felt and it was so real for that particular moment, it is all gone. You will realize that feeling changes every moment and it is impermanent and why do we need to react with things that impermanent. By being able to see and understand things in such a way, impermanent, why do we still have to be so attached to things in our life.

We sad because of things happened in the past and we worried because of the things that we are not sure. How about the present moment?? We are living in the present moment for real but we tend to 'live' in the past or in future and that is why we are unhappy and not in peace.

Yoga is the daily life and it teaches is to live at the present moment. It is the simple living with a higher thinking.

May all beings are in peace and happiness.

Om Shanti!
