Life is life!
You can not control the whole thing.
What happens will happen, and somehow unanticipated
In that part, you need to accept and learn to reflect.
Predicting the future is good.
The challenge is:
You still need to cross that bridge first and then gain clarity.
Then there will be no resentment-guilt.
Then comes the Serenity Prayer
Everything is learning and mastering
Then learn to unlearn to be better
That is the discipleship footpath

“Let yourself be silently drawn
by the stronger pull of what you really love.”
— Rumi

To be happier in life, it would be best to practice how to be happy daily!
So, we can say, “just BE HAPPY.”
The reason is that there are so many beautiful things in life; there are so many good things in life that we want and can capture and experience.
And those are things that are actually with us; those are things we already have.
Mindset is important.
The effort is important.
Only we somehow didn’t recognize them.
So, having a better mindset helps to transform and to heal.
It is when you wake every morning, starting with tomorrow.
You will feel refreshed from your sleep and ready to tackle all the tasks for the day, which means being happier and healthier.

All of those become the journey of the soul:
“To be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mat 5:48)

Breathe in with love
Fill the heart and mind with love
Let love energy circle the “I.”
Then, breathe out hope
Fill in the people that you know & love with hope
Just like the story in the Genesis
When God gives His breath to Adam and Eve
So they are alive and have hope
Let hope energy circles the universe inside and outside you
Because hope is a sign of being alive
We need to remember that life is Given
Always given
It is God’s energy that is living among us,
And in all creations
God’s energy guides us to become a creator of life’s meaning
So, breathe to create meaning
So, we can move toward the horizon with daily conviction
As long as we have trust and faith
That there is hope
That there is little satisfaction here and there
Because meaning can happen every moment
As the stars are everywhere, in the eternity of time
There is no end to the sky
The ‘here’ is over there
The ‘there’ is already here
We are already there because we are here
The satisfaction that is happening
Become a temporary bridge between the future and the now
Let it be
Let it be
Embrace it and seize the day
With hope and determination, with love and faith!

Continue to be mindful of breathing
Because breathing is the only thing we have
Breathing is the first gift from Heaven
So it is important to connect with the breathing
The most important thing, breathing is always happening in the now
Breathing is connecting you and me to the world
Remember that the now is the only thing we have in this world
The amazing part is that the now is in the breathing
Breathing is a sign that we are alive
Our life is given by the Heaven
That is the reason every interaction is so purposeful and meaningful
Because we are always a part of the now, and it is happening in the real timeline.
And again, the timeline is always in the present
As we continue to bring Heaven into our real life.

The power of giving appreciation to little things:

It is transforming to enjoy the little things because all I have is the now. Through this mindfulness, I can start to dream, explore, and discover because, in fact, possibilities are always in the present.

Through this process, the path guides me from the depth to move beyond discomfort, anxiety, or fear of failure. Possibilities are unlocked. Doubt and hesitation become trust which leads to greater confidence. Amazingly, miracles happen because my capacity to choose is being actualized.

The path then will guide me to care and love more, bless and spread kindness-compassion, and grow happily every day. So I continue to listen and appreciate little things, learn, and unlearn along the path as I grow for the better with gratitude of mind and heart!

At this moment, all I need is to appreciate the little goal and its possibilities. I believe that small steps and regular action will move me toward the goal. Then, the miracle happens. The impossible becomes possible. A small bit of effort with a happy feeling and determination in the morning helps me strive more for the better.

Of course, there will be anxiety here and there, and the anxiety will not disable me.

I am worthy and deserve to feel better every day.
I enjoy life and have clarity and purpose every day.
I make my dreams happen every day.

Of course, a goal like a million miles away becomes possible with this path.

small steps
regular actions
move me toward the goal
with happy feelings
determination in the morning
and at night
I feel satisfaction
tomorrow,
the story will continue
and will be happier, healthier, and wealthier every day

breathe to care
breathe to heal
breathe to be more mindful
breathe to free and to surrender
breathe to wonderful little surprise every day
you are here
because you are “be”
“be” amazing everyday
past – embracing
future – welcoming
present – let they be dancing together
let they harmonize, blend, and conform together
embracing the past
with radical acceptance
welcoming the future
with entire hopeful imagination
and let the present be more mindful
that the “be”
is always “WONDERFUL”
is always “AMAZING”
because of the dancing
between the past and the future
all accepting and all welcoming
I am then happier, healthier, wealthier
no matter what
I always matter
because the radical acceptance
because the entire hopeful imagination is boundless
I am becoming the one
that I want to be
so, every day
become my masterpiece
and I am always going there
always
always

and grateful
no matter what,
because all is matter

because I am here

I breathe to care and to heal…

Life isn’t always about searching for answers, trying to live in certain ways, trying to impress other people, or putting on a fake persona. It is about enjoying the moment. It is kind of sitting in traffic: “I used to get angry with the action of other people without reflecting on my action.” Instead of looking toward things, sometimes it is good to take a breath and to take a moment by the moment.

Living more in the moment and learning to let go the overthinking or trying to understand a cause without forcing. Just be, to unlearn the thoughts of what made someone feel this way and that way. Learning to breathe to care, listen to, exist to be better, do small surprises, and plan things out with a sense of wonder. Happiness then will come joyfully full of surprises. Amazingly, all come naturally, and Miracles happen every day.

The state of being or Existence is increased by adding responsibility, meaning, and purpose. The state of Existence is more actual by reducing the feeling of isolation; addressing the need for freedom and belonging.

The anxiety and the fear emerged due to the uncertainty in life and looming death (i.e., physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually).

The increased isolation and the lack of responsibility, meaning, and purpose become signs of the looming death. Therefore, it is important to end the anxiety and fear of the unknown by using our capacity with a more positive worldview to make choices (i.e., to take ownership of choices), develop our lives, and maximize our Existence and the reason for being.

The ability to sort things out to choose wisely will benefit one’s life. Repetition with the character strengths of Commitment, Consistent, and Persistent is a very good exercise to cultivate the wanted habit. It is very important if the person can reflect on the contradictory statements without judging right or wrong first based on preconception thoughts.
