"If people don’t act the way you want, it doesn’t make them wrong."
This is very true...! But to be with someone you like/love. (relatives, friends or dates/boyfriend), if the person does not act the way I want is a pretty sad thing.
Learning to accept everyone. and love them for who they are.
I thought I'm always friendly and open minded to everyone/thing.
But I realized I am not that open mind at all!
Alright. Keep going. There got to be a way...
First change the way I think. this world is not about me! it's everything else!
Second to accept and love myself.
and then third I put more love to people I love.
Forth, after that. I will also be loving everyone/thing all the time!
Sounds like a good plan ^_^

Do it Anyway.
Originally written by Kent Keith, second half rewritten in more spiritual way.
This verses is written on the wall of Blessed Mother Teresa intended to the children in Calcutta, India.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
~Mother Teresa
She is definitely one of my role models now, I didn't realized how humble of a servant of God she is until I read more things about her. Mother Teresa is a familiar figure for me, because I came from the high school named after her, I should really know her, but during those years, I really just saw her as one of the dedicated famous person who does charity work, nothing more, nothing less.. For me at that time, she is flat with no human character (because she is seen as almost saint!)
Now that I studied more about her, I found that she has many doubts and possibly suffered from depression of her own, which surprised me alot because from her works I thought she was all golden and shiny saint like. I would never thought she has constant doubts of God and His existence. The way of her working continually with the poor and needed ones while struggling on her belief and doubts is very inspiring. I think all of us are like that... some point in our lives we struggle, we doubt, we start to blame and hate God or others or even ourselves... but it's funny how at the end, we had all comes to the same wants - we all want to be good and do good, that's all.
Doesn't matter what your belief system is. Doesn't matter what your circumstances are. Do good anyway.

I cannot believe I have this day - To look for poems to read
"...Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise,
May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait.
Passage of time and the stars, are but what we fantasize
For compassion and kindness, it is never too late.
...In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute
If this will not suit, don’t stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate.
When destitute and in need, let your love and passion breed
Life’s alchemy, essence and seed, unimagined wealth shall create..."
- Excerpt from Ghazal 5 by Hafiz
I was watching some positive videos and the narrator/author has read a passage from one of Hafiz's poems. It gave me this shock in my heart. So spiritually touched, I looked up "Hafiz" and here I am reading poems (that I despise and dislike always because I can't write poems and I can't understand poems before!) Though I can't say that I understand 100% of these poems, but I remember how one of my best friends pointed out - "Poems are not meant to be understand, they are to be feel."
I think I have falling in love with poetry suddenly.
"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."

Love me at my worst, love me at my best
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
"Your worst behavior is reserved for the person who loves you most because somehow, no matter what you do, that person will still and always accept you as YOU."
I think this is pretty true. I am not perfect, no one is. Though I'm doing self improvement now, but I would still have faults. Who's able to handle me? I'm sure someone in this world can do this well!! ^.^ I can't wait to meet this person ^0^

Pray it like you mean it
"When you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think they will be heard for their many words" - Matthew 6:7
"Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it" - Luke 11:28
We can always be sure that God hears us. But do we always hear Him? When we pray, do we mean what we prayed? Do we truly believe and act in God's way??? Or do we just memorize Our Father, Hail Mar and Glory Be and pray mechanically?
I have to improve on this too...! I learned to personalize my prayers, make it like talking to a "friend". Then I pray the standard prayers, slowly and mean what I say.
Most importantly, you don't just pray for things to happen, we are to hear Him, follow His way - be a good person and do good deeds.
Be patience and trust Him, believe that for whatever we praying for, God has promised us to be given to us very soon! ^^

愛 . 雪 . 笑
雪
今年冬天，很少雪
但這一個星期一直下雪
今天早上醒來後，我花了幾分鐘望著窗外，看著大雪紛飛。
雪花大，沒有很大風，我最喜歡的其中一個類型的雪。
看這樣的雪，我的心也放鬆了。
突然想到了人生第一次見到雪那種興奮和驚訝。
畢竟這十年多來，雪，成為習慣，那種感覺早已消失。
換來的祗是麻木和缺乏感覺。
但是今天早上，我看著外面，我心想：“好漂亮的雪，雖然人們要艱難的鏟雪，雖然雪對無家可歸的人很慘，但雪，它其實仍是如此美麗的，只是我忽略了它”
在積雪之下，一切也很平靜和美麗。 愛就像雪吧？
遺憾就讓它隨風吹走，落下的剩餘祗有愛，讓它掩蓋和熔化所有的仇恨和恐懼。待春天的時候一切都會從融化的“愛”中更新生命。
我仍然相信愛，愛仍是美麗的。想著想著，我心很放鬆，我的嘴也微笑了。我想永遠看著“愛"美麗的一面。其實快樂就是這樣吧？
"Love never fails" - 1 Corinthians 13:8

Let's all Live like a Figure Skater
I am so amazed by Kim Yu Na in last night's perfect performance!
She "flew" on ice like some sort of angel or fairy. In that moment, all she did was skated on freely and effortlessly, she was a free spirit with all the unlimited power she ever needed. There's nothing to hold her back nor she has anything to hold onto.
Being a figure skater means being non-resistance. It means you are in the flow with the surrounding and power, you don't control or stress it, you simply become part of the flow - make yourself glide on ice. It means you throw away all the fear of falling and the fear of losing, there's no more worry because you become a part of the place. Your mind and body and the surrounding all come together into one because you don't fight the surrounding, instead you let it carries you around, so you skate and glide freely. It means carry yourself with all your energy and concentration to do every moves - while without thinking too hard about it, like doing a sort of meditation, you place your whole heart into this natural state where you become this medium delivering the jumps and moves you grew onto after million times of practice. Lastly, it means you live in the present because there's only "now" for you to skate, not in the past practice nor in the unknown future. There would be no worry, no fear, no anxiety, no anger but only joyfulness in the present. You have the chance to skate NOW and this is what you are and all that matters. You would then enjoy every moment of the present and live free!
If we can all live our lives like a figure skater, we can all be free of any sufferings and all be fill with success and happiness!

New Wine into New Wineskins
To live with the old mind set may not necessary an old thing. Like for instance, we have traditions that we follow in our everyday lives, we follow a set of "rules" that we grew on. Who's to judge if it' good or bad? No one, but if the old does not applicable anymore, there's simply no point of keep doing things the wrong way. Afterall, the world evolves and everyday is a different day.
For example, I learned that it is impossible to stay as the same as when I was a kid, you grew up each day, you have more responsibility, more task. Doesn't necessary means less fun though (keep in mind), because different stages of life gives you different lessons. You just have to learn and grow from it.
Change is good, not only it is good, it is needed, staying static can possibly destroy you and do you no good. Know that things are different every time you look at it, every time you do it, the power to make good changes will always be here, you just have to go for it (power comes from either God, or whatever spirit you believe in).
You need new wine in new wineskins!
"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins." - Mark 2:21-22
Wish me luck!! ^^ I want to become this new wineskins with new wine in it!!! I know I can with God strengthening me!

Throw Away Myself
Gosh, I got this problem every now and then to think in a negative mad way. Like in the last blog entry, again, I got suck back to the hole.
I want to throw away everything, scratch everything, ripped everything - that pull me down.
Including every bit of my mad self, every bit of the happy or unhappy past.
AND start new!! Start on a blank slate, start a new me for real.
That's it. God, help, take way my hatred, jealousy, and grief for my past please! I'm being eaten by this hatred again! I got better, but it's still not enough, please help me, I'm weak!
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" - 1 Corinthians 12:9
"That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses... For when I am weak, then I am strong" - 2 Corinthians 12:10

Who's my Real Best Friend?
"A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out." -Grace Pulpit
"A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked."
"Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go hand in hand." -Emily Kimbrough
"A friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should."
"You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job." -Laurence J. Peter
"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart."
"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." -Henri Nouwen
"A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably." -William Penn
"Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow."
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away." -Dinah Craik
"I felt it shelter to speak to you." -Emily Dickinson
“When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there”
“A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself.” -Jim Morrison
“Friends are angels who lift our feet when our own wings have trouble remembering how to fly.”
“The only service a friend can really render is to keep your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself” -George Bernard Shaw
“Search not for a friend in time of need, for a true friend shall find thee.”
“I would prefer as friend a good man ignorant than one more clever who is evil too.”
"Best friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway."
"When you look around and your world is crumbling or when you think no one loves you, your best friend is the one to run to you."
"When you are sad anyone can tell you it’s gonna be okay, but a true friend will mean it"
"A true friend will be you candle when it’s dark, your hope when it’s gone, and take your pain when it hurts"
At least now when I think very very hard, when I open my eyes so wide to look at all the past...
I know who is not. That person was never there for me truly, we were never connected, we were never even friends, we were strangers. Didn't accept me, didn't bother knowing me, didn't appreciate me, didn't care about me, didn't love me, didn't even want to talk to me. We did all the things best friends do, but we just weren't ones. Only there when we were happy, and not when we had problems and sad. What kind of "best friends" do that? And that's when I got mad and fuck everything up because I was so depressed with this false knowledge, I was all by myself the whole time and I was the only one that cares. At the end, it shows that I was right, you just don't care about us enough to solve things together anyway. and you can have your other "best friends" with you there now in your new life. I should have known better, why the hell did I trust our "past" and thought we will be best friends forever in our lives and can go through tough times together forever? I should be happy that I'm awake! For I found out I have a false best friend for way too long.
We Never were best friends, and probably never will be.
Good to know!
Who's my real best friends? God! and a few of my friends that I overlooked before, they are here for me, not only happy times!

Never too Late, Never too Early, But Always just on Time
Never too little, never too much.
Never too easy, never too tough.
God knows how much we can bear, and he will make a way of escape.
He WILL step in.
Never too late, never too early.
I'm now having this greatest opportunity to know Him better, closer, more. He is now leading my way to escape this mess.
I have to be patience. I know. I have to rejoice for all of these that's happening, in fact! ^^b
"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have down the will of God, you will receive what he had promised. For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith." - Hebrews 12:35-38

Bible Answers Us: Injustice & Righteousness.
Question: If there is God, where's justice?
"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you hide your face from me?" - Psalm 13:1
"Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong?" - Habakkuk 1:3
Answer:
"For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay." - Habakkuk 2:3
"See, the Lord's hand is not too short to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear.
Rather, your iniquities have been barriers
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face
from you so that he does not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue mutters wickedness." - Isaiah 59:1-3
"The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths.
Their roads they have made crooked;
no one who walks in them knows peace.
Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us;
we wait for light, and lo! there is darness;
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom." - Isaiah 59:8-9
"transgressing, and dening the Lord,
and turning away from following our God,
talking oppression and revolt,
conceiving lying words and uttering them from the heart.
Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
for truth stumbles in the public square.
and uprightness cannot enter.
Truth is lacking,
and whoever turns from evil is despoiled." - Isaiah 59:13-15
"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me for ever? How long will you hide your face from me?" - Psalm 13:1
"Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong?" - Habakkuk 1:3
Answer:
"For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay." - Habakkuk 2:3
"See, the Lord's hand is not too short to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear.
Rather, your iniquities have been barriers
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face
from you so that he does not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity;
your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue mutters wickedness." - Isaiah 59:1-3
"The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths.
Their roads they have made crooked;
no one who walks in them knows peace.
Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not reach us;
we wait for light, and lo! there is darness;
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom." - Isaiah 59:8-9
"transgressing, and dening the Lord,
and turning away from following our God,
talking oppression and revolt,
conceiving lying words and uttering them from the heart.
Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands at a distance;
for truth stumbles in the public square.
and uprightness cannot enter.
Truth is lacking,
and whoever turns from evil is despoiled." - Isaiah 59:13-15

Gym-Dreaming
現在，當我運動，我便會像朋友一樣跟天主談話，一路走著跑步機, 一路跨著跨步機。每當我有安靜的時間，影像開始再次浮上腦海. 現在我偶然想起過去我不知道我記得的快樂或不快樂的記憶，偶然想起一切我可以做但沒有做的事情, 也偶然想像一些他現在可能在做著的一切一切, 當我想到這最後一項時我的心非常非常痛。我的心矛盾的游走在消極和積極之間... 我有時消極，有時正面，有時是充滿希望的，有時是絕望。 我困惑, 我告訴祂這一切情緒, 和祂一起自言自語的分析了這些矛盾。
最後, 我告訴祂, 我不希望仍然這樣了，我真的不想去想任何不健康的東西。所以在腦海中，我想像用手遞給他一箱我所有不健康的念頭, 我說, "請把我的雜物拿走，因為我只需要帶好和有用的行李離開這一處地方, 我想離開這地方, 謝謝!" 現在, 天主像朋友, 像一個永遠與我在一起面對任何挑戰的友人。一個永遠不會離開我, 放棄我的友人。
每一次吸氣我想像我吸進積極的力量，每一次呼氣，我想像我把一個一個消極的思想, 把令我消極的人和事, 一下一下釋放出。我沒有發明這種方法，很久以前我已經知道，最近，我從書中再次看到它才真正使用。我從來沒有想到會有用，但這些天用了它確實對我幫助很大。
走 著走著, 我的眼睛不再看計時器, 流著汗, 腳下節奏只管一直繼續下去。我的心飄到窗外的天空, 看著車經過，看著雪花浮動, 我意識到，我只有現在的時間，世界走如此之快, 世界永遠不會停下來. 所以我要繼續向前跟上，我不再想浪費寶貴的時間。我不希望任何人對我失望, 我不希望自己失望。
在那一刻我對自己說, 從現在起每一步我也要用我的全部力量，就像我在如何流著汗如何覺得倦, 覺得我不能再走但仍然用盡所以氣力走下去!
如果我連這簡單的運動也不能堅持做, 我對人生還能做什麼?
我去健身房，我不能相信這麼快完成30分鐘快步和30分鐘有氧運動。擦著我的汗, 我很自豪。我沒有令自己失望. 我要一步一步做每一個未做和不想面對的事, 我不會停下來! 我知道我又行前多一步了!!
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." - Philippians 4:13

被天主拍膊頭
今天早上七點多鐘, 鬧鐘還沒有響, 我已經緩緩清醒。已經這樣一段時間了, 我是否對按時醒來太緊張了？我又想，是我一天一天越來越健康了!
但是當我緩緩地在床上坐起身來，緊密我的眼睛，我掙扎著我應不應該去見我的學校導師! 我想我需要更多的睡眠，因為我為了今天的功課昨晚工作至深夜. 仍然緊密我的眼睛, 但突然有這股力量在我身上流動，我不困了。是我內疚？我的良心嗎？這肯定是天主的鼓勵!
讀著讀著這些天我最喜愛的書, 很快很容易到達學校, 我感覺不錯. 感謝這種平靜坐車之旅! 隨之而後有一點緊張... 因已經十個月沒見過學校導師, 我又有一點內疚, 因為現在我很傷心，我才又找她?! 步行上樓梯，開門，我告訴自己，"沒關係，天主與我一起, 沒有什麼東西擔心的。"
一見面, 她很歡迎我，我說 "我知道很長時間沒見過你..." , 她說 "你永遠不必擔心.." 我與天主的交談成真了! 我很高興我勇敢回來。我答應過自己, 我要一步一步完成每一個未完成和不想面對的工作! 今天完成一個, 我又行前一步了!!
見面主要是更新我的最新消息給她聽。我們沒有談得很深入，因為有太多太多的東西! 最後，我們談論一些志願工作。我提到我一直在這個促進精神健康的青年組做志願工作。她說很好, 社會非常需要這種類型的服務，她說她來到 OCAD 以前，她的工作是輔導兒童和青少年的精神問題。 她鼓勵我們擴充這個青年組, 下次見面她可以和我研究? 哇。這真是好! 從很久以前，我們已經希望使這一群體擴大，但我們從來沒有得到機會, 又沒有足夠的資源, 最重要的是，我們需要幫助. 現在我真的想做了，因為我愛這志願工作組！這肯定又是天主對我的鼓勵! 目標又多了一個!
今天天主對我有太多太多鼓勵! 如果我寫每一個細節，這會佔用另一頁! 所以，我會盡快在這裡說完它了:
見過學校導師後, 我花兩個小時在做我的功課, 感覺有點餓, 在想，我需要更多的時間找一些食物當午飯, 不一會兒後，這傢伙拿著一盤鬆餅和糕點問人們要不要一些，說因為樓上開會吃不完! 他走到我的桌子，當然，以我的節儉作風，我很高興接受了! 哈哈哈! 太好了！我什至不須到外面去找食物，又可以繼續工作! 感謝在這不能更好的最佳時間, 給我美食充饑!
當我上課，我才知道每個人要做presentation！我沒有準備! 在休息時間，我做了一個簡單的 power point, 在沒有什麼準備下做了一個不錯的 presentation. 每個人都投入討論我的作業. 太好了! 感謝主鼓勵我不到最後一分鐘也不放棄!
當回家時, 我們等了很久的列車人多到沒有位給我上車, 我首先想到的是，"現在下午6點 ，下一列車也沒有位了..." 然後我想，"這沒關係，不要緊. 我在班上坐了三個小時, 站著好!" 然後下一輛車很快來到, 還要有很多位甚至不用爭位, 不用站! 感謝讓我放鬆地上到地鐵!
感謝天主感謝天主感謝天主!!! ^_^

Reflection Part 5 只要人還在
"生命" 是最重要的
沒有生命, 你，我，他不會存在於這認知的世界中.
人生在世, 日常生活中, 我們做著很多東西:
每天起床，吃飯, 工作，娛樂, 睡眠...
我一直在想, 有沒有更多？
之前, 我用光我生命的熱情和能量, 我感覺絕望
在嘗試所有我想會讓我有意義的事情, 我仍然對生命絕望, 對每件事絕望, 我也越來越對自己的人生絕望
我沒有精力做任何事情, 我看不到出路.
不過，這些天覺醒後, 我終於從許多閱讀中找到了治療和填補這個空洞的答案
填補心靈的空洞, 物質世界中的東西是不能做到的
萬事的來源是造物主, 有些人稱之為"宇宙", "力量". 這"力量"建造了所有精神和物質世界的一切, 這"力量"便是答案! 如果我們能夠連接此根源, 那麼我們就會得到這個無限的能量. 這個能量可以做就一切，因為一切基本上來自它.
"生命" 是重要的, "精神生命" 更加的重要, 沒有健康的"精神生命", 我們沒有了至少一半或以上的"生命".
要有健康的"精神生命", 那麼我們需要"精神力量".
物質和肉體的滿足, 對我來說給我很少的精神力量.
我發現, 沒有什麼是比天主, 比愛更強大的精神力量了.
愛是一切的泉源. 天主是愛, 愛是天主. 天主是一切的泉源.
只要人還在生, 只要有愛, 我們會擁有一切, 因為一切來自愛
擁有愛, 生命不會再是絕望的.
"... in Him we live, and move, and have our being." - Acts 17:28
Meaning: In Him we have vitality, and have dynamic energy, and attain completeness.

Change.
"When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." - Hebrews 8:13
The night before, I saw this devotional on Gospel.com saying - "Don't be Afraid of Change"
Yea... "I" became "obsolete". It must be really the time for me to change, it's been many years, I stopped, paused, confused, depressed, scared. I am now determine to move on. I am desperately wanting to get out of this "old-self" of mine now. I had always look for strength and support, I thought there would be it from the people loved me the most, but there wasn't any that made my heart and mind change. No one in the world can yet provide me this power. Until now, I hear Him calling me... that is God. I know with Him, I can do this.
"Dear God, in these days of rapid change, please give me the courage to change the things I need to change, the insight to know the things I must not change, and the wisdom to know the difference. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

Reflection Part 4 只要心常開
如何畫下"人"的定義?
對我來說做人的意義是"快樂"
以前，當我年輕時, "快樂"是玩耍, 談笑話
年齡稍大了少許, "快樂"是買東西, 吃東西, 出街, 不回家, 做盡一切瘋狂的事情
年歲更大少許, "快樂"是與喜歡的人經常在一起, 做彼此喜歡的事情
人更大了, "快樂"是什麼?
每隔一會兒我便有這種感覺, "快樂"是什麼? 我覺得自己已經做盡了一切我喜歡的事情了?!
不再買東西, 不再經常出街, 不再到處吃東西, 不再經常談笑話, 不再做瘋狂的事
那麼"快樂"在我是什麼?
找不到答案, 我沮喪, 我不想做任何事情.
我不開心. 做任何事情變得不成功, 我落入這個不開心的陷阱
我可以在哪裡找到"人的意義"?
最近，在大量的閱讀和大量的祈禱
我發現，它實際上非常接近我, 環繞我周圍其實都是"意義".
"快樂"其實就是環繞我周圍的一切!
我忽視了許多東西，因為我總是往遠距離的看, 遠距離的找.
我上面說的一切也是快樂, 不過那些是比較輕而易舉的快樂. (低級low level的快樂..)
難找到的是內心深處的快樂 (高級high level的快樂), 我終於覺醒要在哪裡找了!
內心深處最終極最強烈永不褪色的快樂 ("高呢"的快樂! ^^)是要往心裡找!
只要我把"心打開", 心就會自然"開心"!
以前，我從來沒有打開我的心. 我總是在外面尋找它...
擁抱, 相信, 愛一切，我的心就會是快樂的真正泉源
而這個愛的泉源, 只有天主可以使它永流不息!
祂是一切萬物的泉源, 請給我力量, 我的天主! 請幫助我"升呢"! 哈哈哈!

RSVP
"For many are invited, but few are chosen." - Matthew 22:14
God welcomes and invites everyone of us to Heaven, but only a few of us would actually make it. Can I hope that I will be one of those few? Can I RSVP for this invitation?? ^ ^
I am going to try my best to live up to the name of being a true Catholic... God, please give me strength to shine and make me the light of the world! ^_^

Peace of Mind.
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Thank you my good friend for sharing! ^__^

Love is...
Inspired by this blog
and this week's mass reading
1 Corinthians 13
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
I read this week's passage again many times. The more I read, the more I reflect upon myself. I failed to do most of what God taught us about love. My love failed because I did not love properly. I forgot God, I did not know and remember how to love. I only trust, hope, endure, persevere and commit to our relationships in wrong and negative ways. I was blinded by evils. That's why nothing got through to my mind all these years, that's why I did every possible opposite things from what love shall do. I had no love in life, I had no love in God. Now I learned that only telling each other and doing all things about love is nothing, because without love, it was and we were nothing.
If only God enters me earlier, and if we did spend even any little more time to study God's Love together in a serious manner. I'm sure things will be totally different. But the commitment is broken, everything's over. If God really meant to lead us to separated paths, there's really nothing I can do but follow and trust His plan.
I seek God, I seek love.
I look around, God is everywhere. Love is everywhere.
God is love, and Love is God.
God has now enter me, so love has now fill inside me,
I shall love and be loved again soon.
There 's always plenty of God's love for everyone.
Prayer from Sunday Mass:
"For those who is hurt by the person who did not love you, for those who hurt someone whom you should have love but did not love. May you heal, forgive and love. Lift up your heart to God because God is love, and love is God."
