About 2 weeks ago, it marked my father-in-law’s 3rd
year anniversary since he entered eternal live. It was a relative short battle
for him from the time he knew that he was sick until his passing. My husband
went through a very rough/emotional period after his dad passed. Anger,
frustration, sadness to just name a few. Although I have been through losing a
parent before, I understand that everyone reacts to death differently. My
father in law’s passing leaded me to search deeper in life.
I believe in God and attend church regularly. But it seems
that I needed a bit more to help me further understand this mysterious thing
called life. During the last few years, I came across teachings that helped me
to view life in a profound way and Dr. Wayne Dyer played a role in it.
Here are a few things that I have learned over the years.
Not in any particular order. This list is a combination of things that I have
learned from the Bible, spiritual teachers and life experience.
- We are all spiritual being having human experience.
So don’t take life too seriously. I
don’t mean not being responsible and party your life away. But don’t get
uptight on tiny little things that do not matter in grand scheme of things.
- We all came from the same source, so we are all one. Just cloth in different forms in this moment of incarnation.
Be kind to one and other. We are
indeed brothers and sisters, no matter what your believe is. Treated people the
way you want to be treated.
- We are all divine beings.
No matter what you do in life, keep
in mind that you are divine. You are not determined by what you do, what you
own, your education or what you accomplished. Love yourself for who you are-
God is Love.
- Everything works out the way it is supposed to be.
Don’t get worked out if things do
not go as you anticipated. We are a bunch of extras of a much much larger
picture in this life. When we make decisions, things will turn into different
direction as it intended to be.
- Follow your own bliss.
If you follow your own excitement, you
connect to your true self. When you connected with your true self, you are
connected to your source (God).
- Open mind to everything, attached to nothing.
This statement has 2 folded meaning
to me. One, do not attached to material stuff. We came to this life without any
material things. At the same time, you cannot take any material “stuff” with
you when you leave this earth.
Second, do not prejudge any new
idea, situation or people. Keep open minded. Don’t get too attached to your own
programming or rigid believe and reject everyone else’s.
- It’s the spirit that gives life, the flesh count for nothing.
When you loved ones leave this
earth, it’s not light out and the end of it. Their spirit is infinite (and so
as yours). They are just in a different room.
“If you knew who walks
beside you, at all time, on this path that you have chosen, you will never
experience fear or doubt again.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
Peace be with you, my friend.
