A Grateful Heart is The Cure of All Sufferings

-

Today I feel like I want to pray to the universe just to say thank you.

No more complaints, No more begging, no more wishes...

Sometimes life runs too fast until we do not have time to stop for even a minute to see the bigger picture.

We see other people more succeeding in life, then we have the rush to catch up with that too...

We see other people buy more fancy material things, then we have the need to also own it....

When does this stop?


I am on my maternity leave now, so I have a lot of free time to make sure the baby inside me takes everything she needs from me to grow well. Luckily my brain is still working, so I can still do some thinking. All I can think of now is how blessed I am now.

I feel so grateful that my husband is so kind until I think all those Korean imaginary actors do not seem relevant to feel jealous of anymore. :) Captain Ri Jeong Hyok, sorry... My husband is much better for me.

I do not have many support systems in my life, but the ones that are for me are the best. I do not feel like I need more.


I think this pandemic really teaches us to slow down a bit and think. 

I hope the outcome will be a more peaceful world, a more kind world, and a more grateful heart.

Work is good for life, we work to have a life, not vice versa.

We live to share and be more compassionate towards other sentient beings, so this life is more bearable to live on.


I hope everyone who is struggling now still hangs on there, may a better day comes soon. 



Mettachittena,

 About 2022 Finally my biggest nightmare happened in 2022 where I lost my mom.... It has been 6 months since she left us, I still  feel weak when I remember about that moment. The only person who always support me no matter what... The only person whose cooking is second to none.... The only person who can feed my soul.... I feel like I am a dying person now. Every success that I reached, it means nothing if I have no one to be brag with. Every good things happen in my life, I remember whom I always called first, but she is not there anymore. I do not understand this part of the life. My relationship with her was not the lovey dovey one where I could kiss and hug her on any occassions. She is actually the one who scolded me the most..... But she is the one who showered me with love the biggest. My regret comes from the thought if I did not treat her well enough when she was alive. I did not treat her will when she was sick.... I felt like I could do better... I felt like our t...

How to Deal with Emotional Exhaustion

 In the last couple of months, life has been tough on me. Mostly due to my mother's condition..... As the only child, I feel responsible to take care of her, as I do not see anyone can do that.  I want her to have the best medication that one can have....It is painful to be restless while treating her. Suddenly all my past glory and ยจ'arrogrance' hit me: I used to be able to plan many years ahead, at this age, I should do this, become this and that, have this much money etc etc... When I looked back, how arrogant I am. While now, I live day by day hoping the best result can happen magically. I must be strong , to my mother, to my child, to my family.... In the end, I felt beaten, and started asking why me? This is very hard for one person to take. Until I watched a youtube video from Ajahn Brahm about emotional exhaustion that appeared suddenly on my timeline.  There was another person asking Ajahn what to do when things get tough and she felt emotional exhaustion? Ajahn ...

A journey to the infinity gratefulness

When you look back for 10-year-younger you, have you ever felt that you have what you wished for now? You wished for a certain amount of salary at that time... You wished for a kind and loving husband... You wished to have your own home... But then, the next question is : Are you happy now? It seems like the nature of human being where you always want more, higher, bigger, better. There was a time where my prayer was full of wishing other beings' happiness without mine in it. Because I have had enough, at that time. But now when my prayer is full of my wishes again, I reflect. What happens? It is not so convenient, when you get back to this situation again. Asking...wishing is tiring. Now I want to wish for a grateful heart, where I feel grateful of what I have now, strive for better but happy enough to be where I am now. I believe that is how I maintain my mental health in this fast-cruel world, where everyone expect you to be something you are not. I hope g...
