Life Of Abundance

Just A Quickie

2007-08-09T08:30:00.000+08:00

Ahemm....been lazy with this blog lately. :)

As it's winter here, the weather is shitty most weekends and staying indoors means no nice pics to post. Spring is round the corner and we should be having some fun then..

Have been totally absorbed in my little researches on some things that have taken my fancy and since multi-tasking ain't my nature, my blog's been ignored.

Has anyone noticed the tumultuous market of late? A pity I wasn't doing more active trading(would have made $ with shorts)..... It wasn't 'exciting' watching my medium term portfolio plummet in value but a great opportunity arised during this pullback. I switched a good % of my holdings to C's long term portfolio. This means I don't have to pay as much tax next fin yr as a trader.

C recently negotiated a cool 2 yr remuneration package and he is pretty pleased. Am darn proud of him.

We are so needing a holiday but when's the appropriate time to go, tis the Q...

That Meme Thingy

2007-07-29T18:57:00.001+08:00

KC Lau of Best Personal Finance tagged me to reveal 8 random "secrets" about myself. Before I ventured out into bloggerland I haven't the slightest idea what a meme is. Since I have no wish to disclose insignificant facts about myself(after all, who's interested anyway) nor do I want to tag other bloggers, I will let these lovely images(sourced from istock) shed some light on who I am and what my life is centered around, at this juncture of my journey in this wonderful universe.

If you are interested in financial planning and building your nest egg, do check out KC's blog for cool tips and articles.

Is this what you've fantasized?

Oolala!!
Yes, yes....I want, I want (miniature one??:P)

Ok, I am kidding as I really have no interest in fancy wheels.

But these are fabulous pics and I want to put them here.

Toothfish, Anyone?

2007-07-24T09:34:00.000+08:00

C loves fish but I used to only like the skin and the soft areas around the tail and fins until we discovered the Patagonian toothfish. I stopped cooking red meat at home and switched to having the fish several times a mth. The fish is so tasty cooked in Asian styles unlike salmon. I love its skin and the smooth tender flesh. In Chinese restaurants, they usually deep fry to get the nice crispy skin, served with sauce poured over the fish. I like this dish but I cook it differently as we consume enough oil laden foods when we eat out. The fastest method is grilling the fish in the oven. The natural juices are retained and we also get the slight crisp texture of the skin.

The fish is bought whole and cut into cutlets before cooking. They do come in cutlets but they are a few$ dearer per kg.

This is cooked with chopped chili, garlic, ginger, soya sauce, oyster sauce , cooking wine, sesame seed oil.... Lots of garlic (good for us) and tomatoes (lycopene). Other times, to get a diff tangy variation, I use lemon juice and more sugar instead of the soya. I no longer use tamarind paste after finding a long strand of human hair in it( I double/triple checked) Chopped lemon grass, if I feel like it. Haven't tried the 'kiam chai' and preserved plums with the fish though.

Steamed(or grilled) with soya sauce, sesame seed oil. ginger, chili, coriander or spring onion. Another variation- sauce made with chopped celery & ginger, soya & oyster sauce, corn flour.

Pan fried plain with lots of garlic cloves in olive oil or as below, which I seasoned with the oriental beef spices [grounded paprika, chili, fennel,onion,star anise, garlic, cinnamon, ginger, clove] I got from a Vietnamese grocery shop. Supposed to be used for broiling beef. Instead I tried it on the fish and liked it. Been using it since. Sometimes I use sea salt granules instead of the usual table salt. I threw in some tiger prawns for this grilled version.

I love the versatility of the fish and it tastes great in so many varied styles.

The Tenant

2007-07-12T08:37:00.002+08:00

Our tenant wrote us via our property manager that we consider the rent we raised for her lease renewal. On top of claiming she has been a great tenant and loves living there, she complained about the condition of the property to try get us lower the rent.

This lady has been renting the place for several yrs. The past yr, due to the property boom, the rent has increased but cos she was on a longer term lease and we cannot put up the rent, she has been paying much lower rent. Thus, when her lease was due beginning of the yr, C changed her lease to half yearly and upped the rent in accordance with the market rate. Recently it was due for another renewal and another increase.

We decided to reduce the final rent by $10 per week. C came home from work and I asked him if he'd informed the property manager yet. He said yes, less 10 bucks and still 6 months' lease. I was like, huh, she said she wanted a longer lease, so, me kinda expecting her to kick a fuss asking for cheaper rent or not renewing at all...... I was surprised when C said, she's accepted the new lease straightaway. Hmmm.....

I always leave negotiations to C. He knows how to deal with ppl . He ain't soft like me.:(

Later, we saw the paper's headline, " Rent to soar another $100 next yr". :D

Vision Cheque

2007-07-09T09:48:00.000+08:00

Thanks to AhPek for his brief intro of my new blog . The kind gesture is much appreciated. I found his website after reading about the Nuffnang event (gathering of M'sian bloggers). To clear the confusion regarding Oz's financial yr (FY), our financial yr ends on June 30 and a new one begins on July 1. This is when everyone starts preparing to submit their income tax returns for the yr. Hence, after June, the new FY is now 2008.

Speaking of FY, here's the vision cheque I wrote, Oct last yr. Ppl who know the secret use the cheque for whatever they desire, lottery, boats, cars, mansions.... but my needs are rather simple :) I have everything I need right now. So I wrote only 2 cheques. The other one for C, of course. My cheque was to command a certain income from my shares, a figure which I deemed achievable. Suffice to say I was totally thrilled with the result. And C had an exceptional yr too. :D

Ppl may use the cheques for winnings from lotteries but my sensible mind tells me we need to use some logic when we use a vision cheque, if you catch my drift.

Confucius said" Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time."

Anyway, the vision cheque is one of those things on my fun list so don't you take it too seriously! I have yet to write a new one for this FY. :)

Words Of Wisdom

2007-07-05T13:22:00.000+08:00

Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.

All successful people are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.

Get around the right people. Associate with positive, goal-oriented people who encourage and inspire you.

Being happy requires that you define your life in your own terms and then throw your whole heart into living your life to the fullest. In a way, happiness requires that you be perfectly selfish in order to develop yourself to a point where you can be unselfish for the rest of your life.

Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Be selective about your external influences. Your multi-dimensional brain is influenced by everything you see, hear, read, smell, touch, feel or say.

I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often

Avoid negative people . They are the greatest destroyers of self confidence and self-esteem.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.

Successful people are simply those with success habits

Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon a goal or goals which they really believe in, which they can really commit themselves to, which they can put their whole heart and soul into.

Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.

By Brian Tracy.

Making Money Online?

2007-07-05T08:40:00.000+08:00

I like reading personal blogs but never thought of having one myself until some time ago. My reasons here . Lately, I have seen lots trying to get on the 'making $$ from blogs' bandwagon and I wonder whether it is as lucrative as it is made out to be .

I investigated further to find that one doesn't earn that much really unless you are one of those online marketing 'moguls'. For Asian stay at home mums, they may be satisfied with the pocket money they earn in USD but to command USD 10k a mth requires an astute knowledge of how internet marketing works in this already saturated environment. Researching and learning the tech stuffs is not how I wish to use my time as that is not where my interest lies. This is not to say I may not venture down this track in future if I chanced upon a good $$ making idea but right now, I will concentrate on making money online my way.

I firmly believe in loving what you do, in being a master of something rather than being jack of all freaking trades. I reckon the former will most definitely get you out of the 99% of the population much quicker, don't ya agree?

First Week Of FY 2008

2007-07-03T08:46:00.000+08:00

A good start to the new year. Although the market fell slightly, my portfolio was up a few k. Nice. Today looks like it is even better but it is still morning, too early to tell. My resolution for the new fin yr is to remind myself of some important rules I should take note.

******** Trading Is Simply A Nos Game ******** Nobody Rings A Bell At The Top ******** It's Ok To Take Profit Too Soon ******** You Never Lose Taking A Profit ******** Zig When The Lemmings Zag ******** When In Doubt Get Out/Hedge ********

*M*
The share market have had a stellar 2007, following 3 bullish yrs. This yr may see new highs but you should be cautious at all times and take proper measures to be not overly exposed.

On a separate note, AUD has hit 86c, the highest we have been in a long time. Great for a holiday:D

Yippee!! End of FY 2007

2007-06-30T16:21:00.000+08:00

I can't wait for the start of the new financial yr. FY 2007 was awesome!! I started a new investing strategy back in Sept 2006 and my portfolio has grown tenfold. I attribute the success to getting in at the right moment when the market was just starting to creep up from May's correction and my current mental mindset.

The market had a minor pullback and is now in consolidation mode. July, if nothing major happens to the world indices, Oz should see a nice rebound to new highs after the recent June tax loss selling.

Next week, I will be taking stock of all my current positions and prolly start a new short term shorting strategy and at the same time hedging the longs. I may start a trading journal.

I am so looking forward to July.

First Kiss

2007-06-30T09:59:00.000+08:00

So, it's your first kiss and several questions might come to mind:

Is it the right time?

Is anyone watching?

Does your partner even want to?

Is your breath fresh?

And... Should you use some tongue?

Then you lean in and just go for it.....!!!

At Two Minds

2007-06-28T15:24:00.000+08:00

We have a block of land for about 2 yrs now which we plan to build a nice home and stay put. That was around the time we shifted to our current property that I'd designed according feng shui principles and got a project builder to build for us. It wasn't an easy job to find a good house plan which was appropriate for improvisation to fit in with feng shui. That quest was finally completed and we are now living comfortably in this cosy home.

Our intention was to sell this house and move to the new abode once the current home was completed. 2 yrs on and I haven't even started scouting for a nice plan for this new property. Atm, I can't decide if we should build again so we can get rid of the remaining non tax deductible debt(financing for the land) and get more properties which will provide tax relief for C and me via depreciation and investment loans. Or just stay and continue paying the non deductible loan interest and fund investments with current equity.

C is fine either way. He is happily cruising along, earning, while I handle the investing.

To help me decide if we should build a new ppor , we will be visiting display homes in the coming weeks to see if I can find suitable home designs that I can use for our SW facing land.

Or perhaps I should convince C to move to this instead. It will save the headache of redrafting a house plan and I can do a standard design which will accommodate several directional facings. :P

On second thoughts, nah... with water all around, that ain't too good!! :P

*Enthusiasm holds on to our dreams. Persistence makes of the them.*

Token of love

2007-06-26T15:43:00.000+08:00

Last week, C handed me the eggs and milk I instructed him to grab on the way home from work. As I took the bag from him and he said," I have a little something for you. My reaction was, oh no, not fattening junk food? He said, it's ok..this is special...for you with love.... Curious, I fished out a blue packet of Baci chocs. I have seen their tv ads long time ago but never paid much attention. Yummy....but what about my diet? I protested. Don't worry, just feel the love when you eat them, C told me.

To get my fix, I ration 1 a day or maybe 2 :P I took one today and was taking several tiny bites enjoying the luscious taste of dark chocolate and hazelnut when a translucent slip of paper fell onto my desk. I held it closer and saw the love quote, "Grow old with me, the best is yet to come". Bummer... I have unwittingly thrown away all the previous love notes :( I bet C doesn't even know about the writings inside the silvery wrapper or else he would have mentioned it.

This morning I secretly put one with his lunch. The love is reciprocated..... gonna ask him how he felt when he chomped on his Baci. :D

*Two Wolves*

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Life's Choices

2007-06-22T22:05:00.000+08:00

Time and again, I like to reflect on the decisions and choices I've made over the years which have brought me here right to this very moment. Having an enduring loving relationship, good health and financial well being. Abundance in all aspects of our lives. What more can one ask for?

Sometimes though when I am in a fun mood, I wish I am in wonderland and have this magical book which would show me where I am now had I've taken a different path in life. I suppose I have watched too many movies.:)

As 'fate' would have it(if I still believe in fate) I chose to go out that very day at the urging of a friend many moons ago and was introduced to C by him when we met C at a shopping complex. That turned out to be the ultimate decision of my life. If I had stayed home, I would never have known C and everything would be entirely different.

Would I be as free and as happy? Would I be married to someone else? If so, would I be coerced into having kids when I ain't ready and be stuck in the doldrums? :P Or would I have a filthy rich hubby and still be content in my marriage? I think the odds to that would be 9999:1.:D Intriguing! Call it fate or destiny or coincidence ,whatever you want.

My current belief system has changed. I no longer believe our lives were mapped out the moment we were born. What comes into your life, you unconsciously attract it. I now know I can create my reality however I want it to be. Although my money consciousness is up high on the list, I wouldn't swap C for all the money in the world. I have changed a lot over the yrs but one thing still remains the same. A happy satisfying relationship ranks well in front. A hubby who doesn't restrict my pursuits and interests , offer me utmost understanding and support, handle my 'tantrums' and don't mind my quirks. :D That's my C. The green is very lush and green at this side, thanks. :)

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”-Carl Jung

I can only remember vividly 2 impt things my granddad ever said to me. We were not close to him as kids and he passed on when I was in my teens. A pity he didn't live longer so I can pick his brain on wealth accumulation. What I have learned, are all from books and I am grateful I was an avid reader of all things financial in my 20s.

My grandfather was a secluded man whose only real concern was accumulating a fortune, never lived life, stayed miserly til the day he died and left his millions only to his male off springs(well, what'd you expect a financial illiterate do with an inheritance? Squander it, that's for sure). In my opinion, any one who leaves their millions to their kids without teaching them the finer points of wealth management is plain stupid and I have no respect for those who only consider males their children.

Ok, back to what grandpa said. 'Without money, love will fly out the window". I suspect he told me this cos he was informed I had hooked up with C.

Now being an adult myself, I do feel this is one common sense advice you give to young ppl. Parents naturally want the best for their children. They want you to pick the right partner, the one who can offer you the best and give you a good life. Well, my old fashion parents thought the first real bf you have, you'd wed him. To be honest, I truly detested them for opposing my relationship with C then . Now, I am somehow grateful cos I don't know if I would have stuck to C and ended up being his wife and having my life now the way I want it to be, if not for their strong opposition.

I was around 17 , just started seeing C and rebellious. And yeah, do you think I would listen to grandpa? I'd fully witnessed how unhappy my aunt(god mom) was, being married to a man of money and power but had to endure infidelity and mental abuse through out her married life. I told myself that I didn't want a mega rich hubby. I can imagine all the gold digging sluts shaking their head now..tsk tsk.

Although C may be the 'bad boy'(not at all the studious type, spiky tinted hair....), I saw potential in him. I liked his initiative and knew we could make something out of our future if he ended up being my life partner. One more thing..hehe....C didn't need grooming tips back those days. Being the fashionable M during my younger days, nerdy guys who didn't know how to dress properly turned me off. Call me superficial ,eh!

I realise now I'd shaped my current reality by the decisions I made over the yrs.

The other thing my grandpa said when I asked how to become rich like him. I was maybe 15 at the time. He said, making the first million is the hardest, mentioning something about making 1$ into 2$ and into $4 etc. This bit is a fuzzy. I don't think he was stressing on the importance of compounding, though. Making the rest is easier, he told me.

And don't I agree, it took us too long in my book. If I had been more goal oriented and less complacent we'd have gotten here faster. Nevertheless, Grandpa, if you are alive now, I will now say to you, "we have reached the first milestone". I don't care if you don't give a f**k since I am only the disregardable granddaughter but I'd love to see your reaction all the same.

Life decisions that people

have to make are never simple.
The importance of the initial decision

should always be examined over the long run.
Memories made and cherished are
sure to be tempered along the way.
Consider the following two choices...

Should I get a Dog ...

..or have children?

Your children are not your children; they are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself...

They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.- K Gibran

Culinary delights?

2007-06-18T10:26:00.000+08:00

A chilly wintry morn'... got up earlier than usual today as my C has to attend an early meeting. Being the 'good wife' I am :P, prepared his lunch...today's treat is my home cooked 'kolo mee' without lard that is but still delicious with the fried garlic I used with the olive oil...

I had a bowl of hot creamy pumpkin soup to warm up and thought I better post an update here before I get immersed in the tedious job of preparing our end of the yr taxes. Market is up today albeit a bit dull. Nothing that requires my attention for now.

Last nite, we brought my parents and my aunt( god ma)who is visiting, to dinner at Grand Palace restaurant, Perth. My aunt was like a second mom to me when I was a kid and also during my teen yrs. It's been a while since we last saw her. She has 2 grand kids now so I guess she is not as lonely. When I was going thru' teen conflicts with me parents, her place was where I seeked refuge and I will always be grateful to her for being there.

The dishes we ordered were quite good. King prawns fried in salted egg yolk batter, tender chili szechuan chicken, pork with rosemary n black pepper and Buddha vegetables- an assortment of vegs wrapped in dried bean curd skin. We dug in when the dishes arrived and only when we almost finished, C reminded me I should have taken some pics. Ah well, I was going to test my new cam's macro shots feature by taking pics of the dishes and see whether it needs tweaking for indoor pics since I have read that we need to do some adjustments for low light situations. Anyway, it's fine as I should be able to find some test subjects at home.

I like seafood, especially prawns and whenever we order prawns in salted egg, I usually have napkins on hand to remove much of the oil. Love the taste but hate the oil. Likewise for snow crab cooked the same way. Absolutely yummy ... So much for my diet. Hmm...loves good tasty food too much....

*Eat Well, Stay Fit, Die Anyway*

What a week!

2007-06-11T09:29:00.001+08:00

What a bumpy ride, the past week's been. China sneezed again. Dow held its ground but eventually midweek saw it subsided due to interest rate hike concerns. Our market followed suit and ended down around 180 pts from the week's high. I have some hedging in place but should have added on more when some of my stocks were powering to their highs as I have been expecting a pullback for weeks now.
Anyway,I am not too fazed as I expect to have the opportunity to do it when the market resumes trading this week. I am actually hoping for a correction, a mid term slack bringing the stocks back to a better entry level would be nice and will definitely be a great start for financial yr 2008.

Gold retreated as expected. Will consider an entry if it rebounds ok. Thursday, went long a small position in USD/CHF. Entered at 1.2235. At time of writing, USD is trading 1.2366.

In the process of setting up a gearing facility for C for the purpose of prepaying interest for fin yr 2007 to reduce his tax liability for this yr and looking to acquire some good stocks for a longer term portfolio. Market correction plzzzz....

Also placed an order for a new digital cam . Did some thorough research and chose to get the new Sony ultra compact with 5x movie zoom mode instead of a Canon. Has its pros and cons but most sites gave ok reviews with cnet giving it one of its better ratings. Btw, I haven't even seen an actual one in the shops, just ordered it solely based on the sites' & customers' reviews. I hope the design and size won't pose a prob for us taking good snaps. It's small and cool and can easily live inside my handbag and light enough to carry around. When on hols, this tiny T100 can conveniently to be slipped in C's pocket. I am just going be a hobbyist photographer not a pro so I don't need a dslr which is too bulky. Contemplated whether I should wait to get one in Kl as price will surely be few hundred rm cheaper but decided I don't wanna wait so long for it. It currently retails here for aud $749. I shopped around and found a good deal.

It's not your work to make anything happen. It's your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That's the promise of Law of Attraction.

The Universe does not know whether the vibration that you're offering is because of something you're observing or something you're remembering or something that you are imagining. It just receives the vibration and answers it with things that match it.

Negative emotion is your indicator of resistance, while positive emotion is your indicator of allowance. And they are on the same meter: allowance; resistance. Allowance; resistance.

Desires and beliefs are just thoughts and thoughts. "Ask and it is given?" You ask through your wanting. You ask through your desire. That thing you call desire. That's the asking. You don't have to use your words. You just have to feel it in your being. That spark of desire. "I desire this. I want this. I adore this. I embrace this. I appreciate this. I..." That desire is the beginning of all attraction. The desire is what puts the eternalness in eternity.

Dollars aren't the root of happiness but they are not the root of evil either. They are the result of how somebody lines up Energy. If you don't want dollars, don't attract dollars. But we say to you, your criticism of others who have dollars, holds you in a place where things you do want, like wellness and clarity and Well-being, can't come to you either.

Resistance is about believing that you are vulnerable or susceptible to something not wanted and holding a stance of protection, which only holds you in a place of not letting in the Well-being that would be there otherwise. There is nothing big enough to protect you from unwanted things -- and there are no unwanted things big enough to get into your experience.

Being in love is so good for you. Often when people are newly in love, things that have been bothering them for a long time get better. Something wonderful is calling the majority of their attention, so they're holding themselves in a better vibrational place, so the stuff they've been wanting all along can now zoom in.

When you begin to understand Law of Attraction, and you understand that which is like unto itself is drawn, then it is easier and easier to understand that you are offering a signal, and the entire Universe responds. And when you finally get that, and you begin to exercise some deliberate control about the signal that you offer, then it really begins to be fun, because then you recognize that nothing happens outside of your creative control. There are no things that happen by chance or by circumstance. There is nothing that is happening because of something you vibrated a long time ago or in a past life. It is not about what you were born into. It is only about what you are, right now, in this red hot fresh moment emitting.

You are killing more of each other every day over your quarrels over religion than all other things put together, because you cannot even come to an agreement about what you think God says, or wants for you. On one side of the world God wants something different than the other. On one side of the room, in one side of your mind, God wants something different than on the other. The power is within you. You are extensions of this powerful Source Energy. You are literally God expressing in this physical body. And so, as you are standing in a thought, or in a word, or in an action that feels good to you as you are standing there--then you are fully open and allowing all of that Divine Energy to flow through you. And in that moment you are all that you said you would be when you decided to come forth into this body. You are the extension of pure positive energy. You are in your full creative power. You are thriving. You are clear-minded. You are joyful. You are filled with love. You are who you are--you are allowing that which you really are.

Spiritual versus Material are not the choices. Everything about this physical manifestational experience is spiritual. It is all the end product of spirit. You have nothing to prove. Be the spiritual you and create like a physical fiend.

Find something to feel good about and get out of the way, and allow the cells to receive what they've been asking for. That is the key to healing.

We are all Vibrational Beings. You're like a receiving mechanism that when you set your tuner to the station, you're going to hear what's playing. Whatever you are focused upon is the way you set your tuner, and when you focus there for as little as 17 seconds, you activate that vibration within you. Once you activate a vibration within you, Law of Attraction begins responding to that vibration, and you're off and running--whether it's something wanted or unwanted.

You, on the leading edge of thought, are here, enormously creatively involved. There's something so satisfying about asking and deliberately aligning your Energy and deliberately finding the familiar feeling of that, and then seeing it manifest.

The Universe does not know if the vibration you are offering is because of what you are imagining, or because of what you are observing. In either case, it is responding. Where emotion comes in is that emotion is your guidance or your response to your vibration. Your emotion does not create. Emotion is your indicator of what you are already creating. As you think, you vibrate. And it is your vibrational offering that equals your point of attraction. So it's always a match. What you are thinking and what is coming back to you is always a vibrational match. The emotion (your Guidance System) is telling you what's coming.

The main event has never been the manifestation; the main event has always been the way you feel moment by moment, because that's what life is.

Never mind what-is. Imagine it the way you want it to be so that your vibration is a match to your desire. When your vibration is a match to your desire, all things in your experience will gravitate to meet that match every time.

There is not a source of not Well-being. There is not a source of sickness. There is just the disallowance of wellness. In every particle of the Universe there is that which is wanted and lack of it.

Every cell in your body has a direct relationship with Creative Life Force, and each cell is independently responding. When you feel joy, all the circuits are open and the Life Force or God Force can be fully received. When you feel guilt or blame or fear or anger, the circuits are hindered and the Life Force cannot flow as effectively. Physical experience is about monitoring those circuits and keeping them as open as possible. The cells know what to do. They are summoning the Energy.

The thought that you think, you think, which attracts to it; so you think it some more, which attracts to it; so you think it some more. In other words, when you have an expectation, you've got a dominant thought going on, and Law of Attraction is going to deliver that to you again, and again and again. And you say "The reason that I believe this, is because it is true." And we say, the reason that you believe it, is because you've practiced the thought. All that a belief is, is a thought that you keep practicing.

The content of your vibration equals how you feel right now. And whether you're thinking about the past, the present or the future, how you feel right now -- as you think about the past, the present or the future -- is your life. And it's a precious, fabulous, creative life that you are not wanting to squander in a place of resistance. Your life is right now.

An activated thought means a thought that when I think it, I have a feeling response. If you're not having a feeling response to something, a feeling that feels good or a feeling that feels bad -- the thought is not that powerful, and it is probably not a big player in your vibrational mix.

When you reach for the thought that feels better, the Universe is now responding differently to you because of that effort. And so, the things that follow you get better and better, too. So it gets easier to reach for the thought that feels better, because you are on ever-increasing, improving platforms that feel better.

You don't have to work at being in the high vibration that is natural to you, because it is natural to you. But you do have to stop holding the thoughts that cause you to lower your vibration. It's a matter of no longer giving your attention to things that don't allow your cork to float or don't allow you to vibrate in harmony with who you really are.

Whatever you are giving your attention to already has a vibration of its own, and as you give your attention to it, you include its vibration in your vibration...and then your point of attraction is affected.

There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right. And so --now -- knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it.

You are the vibrational writers of the script of your life, and everyone else in the Universe is playing the part that you have assigned to them.

Those old habits don't have to be erased, they just become replaced by a new habit that is more in vibrational harmony with who you are and what you want.

Take your Inner Being everywhere you go. If you take your Inner Being to the party, it's going to be a good party! If you take your Inner Being, the food that you eat will be received perfectly by the cells of your body. Every word that comes out of your mouth will be beneficial to everyone who hears them with their ears, or with their vibration. Don't go anywhere without your Inner Being. That's what "Allowing" is. Always having your Inner Being present. And then, anything else that happens is always orchestrated perfectly by Law of Attraction.

Just like the wild beasts, you want your own autonomy. You want freedom. You want freedom from negative emotion. You want freedom from somebody telling you what to do. Whether you are consciously aware of it or not -- what all of you want is a sense of Well-being.

Complaining about anything, holds you in the place of refusing to receive the things you've been asking for. Justifying about anything holds you in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you've been asking for. Blaming someone, holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you've been asking for. Feeling guilty, feeling angry, it doesn't matter what you call it, it is a refusal, not a conscious one. You're asking; you can't help but ask. The Universe is yielding; it must yield. It's a big question, folks: why aren't you letting it in?

Don't try to recreate peak experiences. Instead, just accept them as the gift that they are, and don't beat up on yourself for not being able to stay there. Because if you stayed there, they wouldn't be peak experiences. They would be normal, every day in time hum drum boring, experiences. So, savor the peak experiences and compliment yourself upon your achieving of them, and expect more of them, and leave everything else out of the equation.

All is well, and you will never get it done. Life is supposed to be fun. No one is taking score of any kind, and if you will stop taking score so much, you will feel a whole lot better -- and as you feel a whole lot better, more of the things that you want right now will flow to you. You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete -- and you never can be. This incomplete place that you stand is the best place that you could be. You are right on track, right on schedule. Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun!

People say. "If I'm always setting goals and reaching for the future, then am I not squandering my now?" And we say if in your now you're using a future event to make you feel good, you are still feeling good in your now. And that's the best use of now that you could ever find.

You can be fully satisfied with where you are, understanding that you're eternally evolving. When you get into that place of feeling appreciation of where you are and of who you are, and appreciation of what you are, and you accept that you are a never-ending, always unfolding Being, then you can stand in that delicate balance of being optimistic about what is to come, without being unhappy about where you stand. Find a way of eagerly anticipating future changes, while at the same time you are in love and satisfied with who, what, where and how you be.

If you feel drawn to someone, but you are annoyed because you think that they are telling you some lies, try to look beyond the lies and try to focus upon the feeling. People offer all kinds of words for all kinds of different reasons. Most lies are offered to try to keep things in alignment. We're not encouraging it, but the motive behind lying is usually a pretty honorable motive. In other words, when a child lies to their parents, it's usually because they want to be free to do what they want to do, and they don't want their parents to be upset about it. It's about wanting an alignment. Physical ears have a hard time hearing this. You keep talking about "We need to be honest." And we say, we don't meet any of you who are honest. Even those who claim to be the most virtuous, are not honest, but your vibration always is. We would trust the feeling more than the words.

You could stand here sick with ten illnesses today, and tomorrow have no evidence of any of them. Your body has the ability to replenish itself that fast. But most of you do not have the ability to change your thoughts that fast. So the amount of time that it takes between sickness and wellness is only the amount of time that it takes for me to figure out how to let it in -- for me to figure out how to feel good, when I'm looking at something that makes me feel bad.

You are magnificent beings, in the perfect place at the perfect time, unfolding perfectly, never getting it done, and never getting it wrong. Be more playful about all of it. "Today, no matter where I'm going, no matter what I am doing, and no matter who I'm doing it with -- it is my dominant intent to look for that which I'm wanting to see. I'm wanting to find thoughts and words and actions that feel good while I'm finding them. For in doing so, I am, in the moment, practicing the art of allowing all that I've been telling the Universe I'm wanting, for all of the days of my existence.

Everything is vibrational. "I'm letting it in or I'm not. And I'm using lots of things as my excuse to let it in, or as my excuse not to let it in." But it's all vibrational. Otherwise, we should be able to take 100 people, give them all identical exposure to experience, and get identical results. And you can't do that. You'd get 100 different results, and you'd get several big differences in results.

The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted, at cellular, conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is how the atmosphere was prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their "things to do today" pads. They just be'd and perceived and concluded and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a result of their willingness to have exposure to the contrast. And you are not different from them. You have no greater responsibility than they did. The contrast produces the desire within you, and the Universe expands as a result of it. The only question is, the question that we want so much to answer is, are you letting it in? Are you letting yourself experience the benefit of your precious focus and your vast experience in the here and now? You'll never get it done. You cannot get it wrong. So don't you think it's time for you to lighten up and start having more fun with all of this, and accept that you are Eternal Beings? And since you are Eternal Beings, then there's no point in rushing, because there's never going to be a time when you don't exist.

Could I think too little about my desire, for it to manifest?" Actually, no, because as the contrast launches the desire, and then you do not offer any opposing thought, then you're letting it in, and it will manifest. Many of our physical friends really believe that they must find a desire and then hold tenaciously to it. And we say, you do not need to do that. Let the variety of your life keep balance in your life. You just concentrate more on holding yourself in the good-feeling place where you're letting it in.

Think of this random Universe where everything is possible. The organizational skills belong to Law of Attraction. If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction to do the organization, the managing, then you can spend your time doing the things that please you.

Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand.

Law of Attraction says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Vibrations are always matched. So, as you experience the contrast which inspires the new desire, this new desire, whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It` is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always given Humans think they are asking with their words, or even with their action, and sometimes you are, but the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding to your vibrational calling.

Law of Attraction abounds, and when it is said to you, "Ask, and it is given," there is no more powerful statement that is at the basis of what makes things happen than that. Now, how is it that you think you ask? With your words? The Universe doesn't hear your words. You ask with your desire. The desire that is born out of the contrast. That desire. That wanting. That's what summons the Life Force.

If you examine your history, you cannot help but repeat it! Law of Attraction says it is so: "Whatever I am looking at, I am including in my vibration."

Is it possible to be the visionary and the actionary of your own life? Not only possible, it's the way most of you intended it to be. It's the best of all worlds. What can be more exhilarating than to find a dream from the contrast, to fixate on the dream and let it give you pleasure as it grows, and then to watch Law of Attraction bring it into manifestation while you help with your action? Does it get any better than that? You didn't think so as you made the decision to come forth into these physical bodies. You said, "This is the best time in all eternity for a Creator to Create."

You have more harmony points with every person on the planet than you have disharmony points, because there is much more of you that is in harmony with your Core than you realize or that most of you allow. The closer you come to being in harmony with your Source Energy, the more in harmony you are with each other. When you think about other people and what they think of you, do you understand that what they think of you has very little to do with what you are? It has mostly to do with the habits of thought that they have developed. It has more to do with them as thinkers than it does with you as the subject of their thought. If nothing is more important to you than that you feel good, you can form a fantasy about someone who is in your life and they will begin to modify to meet your fantasy, because Law of Attraction is a very powerful thing.

As you perceive something, you give birth to a thought, and this thought now thinks. Now that it exists, now that it has been conjured, now that it has been focused,now it vibrates. Now, by Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are vibrationally same will come to it. So it begins its expansion immediately.

Law of Attraction is Universal, and every person is affected by it. And it is always true that what I think and what I feel and what I get are always a match, and there is not a person on the planet that did not know that when they were born, and there is not a person on the planet that would not benefit by knowing it. But many, many, many are not yet asking and therefore are not yet ready for the answer. And so, we would say that -- although everyone wants this information -- everyone is not necessarily ready for it. We would not spend any time trying to convince anybody of anything because if they're not asking, your answers are just irritating.

Use whatever excuse you can to vibrate in harmony with those things you've been saying you want. And when you do, those things that are a vibrational equivalent flow into your experience in abundance. Not because you deserve it, not because you've earned it, but because it's the natural consequence of the Law of Attraction. That which is like unto itself is drawn.

If you've got somebody's aspects in your experience that you don't like, there's only one reason they're there. You keep evoking them with your attention to them. Without knowing about Law of Attraction, you have -- through your old habit of observation -- achieved vibrational harmony with the parts of them that you do not like, and you keep summoning those parts from them by your constant vibrational offering of them.

Thank You For Visiting!

Ok, I have decided to start a blog. Thanks to the current bullish market, I have switched from aggressive trading to medium term holds. So, with ample free time on my hands, I am taking up photography as a new hobby and starting this site as a venue to share my photos. It will also serve the purpose of an online diary, which I can look back on years down the track and read my very own thoughts, focus and accomplishments at that point in time. It would be interesting to see how much I have evolved as a person. I will also share motivational, quirky and funny stuffs I come across, shares and property investing ideas, places of interest and food.

I am truly grateful for finding the path that’s continuing to lead me to much abundance and I give thanks for my wonderful life each day.

I hope I can impart my positiveness and good energy to everyone who visits this site.

Have a great day!

Update!!

After a month blogging, I've come to the realisation that the true purpose of this blog is to provide the directive for my inner consciousness.
