Wow! The whole of yesterday had such a great impact on me! My day started early as I was supporting a friend with her 1st major public training. Though she hardly slept the night before, her passion in training and sharing could be felt even miles away.

Immediately after her training, I rushed to the Indoor Stadium for JJ 2009 Live Concert! The stadium was filled with almost 10,000 supporters. His stunning performance won the hearts of many of us, especially his Fan Club members! I was deeply touched by his passion in singing and music. His voice "broke" when he sang with his parents and brother on stage! My heart melt and tears welled up in my eyes when I saw, hear and felt the love in this family.

My day ended on a high note - Passion Expressed! It reminded me that all it takes for success in life is PASSION! With that passion, it can light up the whole world - My World! Anything we do, it can be as small as a greeting or as big as JJ's singing, when it's sprinkled with our passion in living, it brings our world to a whole new dimension!

I used to think that I need to earn enough money before I can live my life passionately the way I choose to. Now I know my life is "RICH" when I live it PASSIONATELY!

Will you join me, my friend, to live your life passionately regardless of your current circumstances or challenges?

Think about it - what kind of energy will you attract when you start to live your life passionately? Have you seen a child who painted passionately with her hands and the resonating smile on the face of the adults who have the privilege to view the master piece? Have you seen a fully bloom garden and notice the irresistible joy in your heart? What about those indescribable moments in your life where time seem to freeze?

Life is full of miracles when we expect miracles to happen!

I was feeling a bit down after my Saturday workshop at a school. I was running a parenting workshop at a school and the response was not up to my expectation. Yes, of course I do have "down" days, no matter how positive I am, I am still a human with a EGO! A fragile ego, which I learned to watch very closely.

I was reminded to love myself today since I had been doing work for others and spending my energy loving others for the past few days. My love tank required refilling, hence, I spent my afternoon having my hands and feet pampered - a luxurious mani- & pedi-cure!

This evening when I log in to my blog, I was pleasantly surprised to see messages left on the TagBoard! Thank you Victor, Blur & Just! You have all made my day! Knowing that my work has been read and appreciated is many times more effective than having my hands and feet pampered!

So, when was the last time you love yourself? Or when was the last time you leave some love for others around you? It could be just a little note, a SMS, a "I hope you are well" thought or like what Victor, Blur & Just did - leave a comments in your friends' blog. Givers Get!

What goes around comes around!

Now is a great time for everyone to do some reflection!

Mankind has gone through years of physical environmental challenges, territorial challenges, and now, economical challenges. What are the lessons for mankind to learn? Have anyone thought about this? Yes, I do believe there are some who did give these a great work-out. What about you?

Did your mind go, "Oh, I'm just an employee, as long as I keep my job, it has nothing to do with me!", or "Those are the work of #@$*!".

How we react or respond to these events will be a great lesson for our children! Remember, they are watching our every move! We are planting seeds in their pure and innocent minds unconsciously (or I hope consciously!).

Are we creating more FEAR in our environment? Fear of not enough, fear of trusting others, fear of doing things in the wrong way, etc. Are we creating more separation between US & OTHERS? Are we still as loving and forgiving?

My Master once told me Everything Happens For A Reason! So, there must be a great reason for this current economic challenge. He also said Only Love is Real and Everything Else Is A Cry For Help!

So, may the help & love be sent across the oceans. It all starts with ME!

Are your kids feeling bored at home? When was the last time you have a fun family time?

Recently, my family decided to take up a new sport - Inline Skating! I was extremely nervous on the very 1st lesson. However, the class proved to be fun and easy. It was easy because the lesson was very structured and broken down to many small manageable chunks! It reminded me of my driving lessons many years back.

It also reminded me of how I could make my life goal into many structured and manageable chunks to ensure success! Many people dare not dream BIG. However, if we could break the dream into many smaller dreams, every step is a success!

Give it a go & let me know how your dream is unfolding right in front of your eyes!

I had a wonderful time last evening conversing with my 13yr old girl! We had just attended a NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Preview Workshop together. At the end of the workshop, she asked how can NLP help a person if he doesn't have a goal in life. Interesting point of view as I had met many young teens without a goal in life, or should I say have yet to find their goals in life.

"What is your dream?", I asked. She replied, "What's the point of achieving your dream knowing that at the end of the day, you will die just like everyone else?" Hmmm, very intellectual thought! How many of you have similar conversation with your children? What was your reaction or thought? How did you lead or guide them?

I have always been very keen to work with teenagers besides young children. I had met a number of young teens who are very progressive in their thought process. Sad to say, many of them found themselves isolated from their peers and even their parents. Through my coaching work, I got them to share a bit more about their inner thoughts. Many of them would tell me they have never spoken to an adult in such depth before and wonder why I am interested to listen to them. I felt so grateful that these angels are willing to open their hearts to me!

Mums & Dads, I urge you to quiet your mind and listen to your angels around you! Listen to them without any of your preconceived thoughts or judgements. Allow them to share their hearts with you without any fear of ridiculing or shame. If you are not willing to listen to them, then who will?

When you start to listen and see the world from your teenagers point of view, you will be amazed how much truth there is! Only when you are able to see the world from their perspective will you be able to lead and guide them effectively.

Back to my conversation with my girl, I was looking for the key as to what will inspire her to use Breathwork as a mean to reach within. She shared that she wanted to find answers to all her questions as she has yet to meet an adult who can give her satisfactory answers to all her questions. "Where are the answers to your questions?", I probed. After a long silence, she replied, "Within me!".

Yes, and Breathwork is the mean to help one to find all the answers within oneself! It gave me such great assurance that I am on the right path being a Breathworker! Thanks to my angel!

I have been searching high and low for many many years. Now, I can confidently say I have found my life purpose and mission!

Interestingly, a friend told me today that there are many people like her, who are still seeking. My question is "When do you want to stop seeking?".

A Master once taught me, if you have been looking for your answer for many years and you have not found it, stop looking at the same place! If you are like me, I had been looking for answer OUT THERE for at least 35yrs, if not more. We are all taught from young to look out. If you want to be rich and successful, look out and see what others do and do likewise. If you want to be happy, look out and see what others do and do likewise. If you want to have a fantastic relationship, look out and see what others do and do likewise... the list goes on and on.

Hey, STOP my friend! LOOK WITHIN! What do you see or hear or feel?

Nice try. Some of you may say it feels strange, it feels empty or even what's there to feel. A Lot - I would say! You are one Amazing Being - can you feel it?

Look into the mirror, yes right now! And tell yourself - I am one AMAZING BEING!

I just have had a teleconversation with a friend. She shared that her friend had encouraged everyone he knew to post something positive inspite of the current economic challenges (I've replaced words like crisis and problems with challenges in my dictionary). I strongly support his view!

There are so many beautiful happenings in life that one may overlook or forget after listening or seeing what's on the news/paper. Recently, my 13yr old girl pointed out to me a breathtaking sight when we were at a neighbourhood wet market. We saw a tree fully bloom with pink flowers. Imagine the whole tree with lovely pink! I immediately took out my mobile and shot some quick pictures. I felt like I'm watching Sakura in Japan! I was in a high spirit the rest of my day. My friend even cared to research into the name of this tree - Tabebuia rosea trees (also known as Trumpet Tree or Pink Poui) after I posted the picture on FaceBook.

Have you been so busy and burdened lately that you missed the wonderful pink Trumpet Tree? What about the little things that happened in your life? Like a hot meal, a friendly smile or a sweet giggle of a little child? Happiness is what you feel within... Are you still looking out for Happiness?

Thanks for reading my 1st official blog!

Happy Day!
