To Make Every Day Better, Make Your Everyday Thoughts Better

Understand that things don't get better, we must get better.

Volitional or intentional actions generate their effects, even though you may not see them immediately.  If you don't have an action today, there won't be an effect.

But natural forces like winds and tides do create effects that have nothing to do with what you do.  They are not your intentions, so do things that you do unconsciously or without intention.  

It's not what happened but what you do to what happened that makes the difference. 

We can always choose to react or respond to what happened.  Know that our actions will have an effect. Like I responded to the strong winds by wearing more clothes, it definitely have effect on my health.  

The above is what we called Law of Cause and Effect, commonly known as Karma.  

Karma invites us to take responsibility for our own behaviour.  Our behaviour starts with our thoughts. So pay close attention to your thoughts, speech and action - above all, your intentions.  Think about whether your actions might cause harm.  If drawing cartoons that insult other faiths or religions have an harmful effect, be ready for any negative consequence.  

Karma is first created in the mind.  Negative karma arises from greed, anger and ignorance, and their cousins like envy, pride and aversion.  Actions rooted in positive qualities like compassion, kindness, understanding, empathy and generosity produce positive karma, making life happier and more peaceful for all concerned.

If you want to make your everyday life things better each and every day, start with your thought.  Do good and good comes to you.  The law of karma is operational, whether you know it or not.  Related articles:

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
