Inspirations 008 -- Phrases of Wealth

Here's a collection of phrases I came up with that I'd consider as invaluable in my life journey:

by Thomas Heng

Learning to love and accept myself unconditionally is the greatest journey that I can undertake on earth.

A life built on an honest and innocent desire to have others experience joy in their hearts can only come from a pure heart that exudes this same joy.

To change one's lifestyle is easy, but to do so with a willing heart is less so.

I do not seek the approval of others, merely they they accord me basic respect. For this to occur I should naturally accord same respect to others.

Freedom is being able to express myself fully and responsibly.
Freedom is the ultimate responsibility of all.

Learn to slow down and think through the requirements of the day; action will be so much the easier for it!

Self-discipline sn key to the achievement of anything meaningful. It is the basic building block upon which the towers of success are built.

Patience is a virtue
Humility is a virtue
Gentleness is a virtue
So too are Decisiveness, Confidence and Perserverance!

Be different; conquer indifference
Resolve to be decisive
Take a sword to doubt
Grab pessimism by the throat.

The Four Key Questions:
Why?
Why not?
Why not Me?
God, Will You be My Partner?

Wealth is the duty of every productive person;
Under-achievement is not ideal;
Non-achievement is a sin.

Investment in self is the currency of the wealthy;
Investment in others is their credit card!

I thank each day that comes, for it is an opportunity to be ever more enlightened by the Source of Infnite wisdom. By grace I have boundless opportunities to channel part of this wisdom unto others, to Your glory.

Inspirations 007 -- Reflections

Here are some reflections I look back on time and again, to enable me to self-correct in the midst of life's hustle and bustle. These have been paraphrase from material that I've come across from various sources.
  • Designing my life is a given; the only issue is who the designer is
  • Flow occurs when I am in harmony with all things, aware of self, and aware of others.
  • Balance enables me to stretch further and further, and expands my potential.
  • In order for the Universe to support me, I must be open to that same support.
  • Positivity attracts, remember that!
  • Opportunities abound; Choose wisely.
  • Synergy is waiting for me to harness its power.
  • Commitment requires courage.
  • Speaking up reveals my commitment, confidence, courage and character.
  • There is a time to lead, and a time to follow. Experience will show me when is which.
  • The key to a good upswing is a proper downswing.
  • Take nothing for granted, Everyone Needs Love.

Inspirations 006 -- The Return

This was something I wrote on the flight back from a year long stint in Australia.

The Return
 
by Thomas Heng

Talk is so cheap 
Rhetoric, just as dear 
Money's to be made everywhere 
Open your eyes and dispel your fear 

You already know what works 
and what doesn't for you 
Listen to others' counsel 
But the final task is yours to do 

Regard others in truth 
But also love yourself 
Worry not about the future 
For within you is real wealth 

Life is full of trivial pursuits 
Dispense with them fast 
Seize the memorable times 
Lengthen them; make them last 

True sustenance that inspires 
For a lifetime, is made 
Of fleeting seconds 
Never let them fade 

The return to hustle and bustle 
Is impending but in a while 
Cherish the last quiet moment 
Stow the memories in your organic file
