Reflections on Life, Death, and Purpose

Reflections on Life, Death, and the Journey In Between  About a decade ago, I came across an article about death therapy. It shifted how I see life entirely.   In every life, there’s one absolute truth: if there is birth, there will be death. Yet, in many cultures, death remains taboo—a subject people avoid because it forces us to confront our impermanence. This reluctance is understandable. We spend so much of our lives chasing dreams, goals, and fulfillment, clinging to the idea of permanence. But the truth is, we come into this world with nothing, and when our time is up, we leave with nothing.   What is life really about, then?   Life is a journey of challenges, growth, and lessons. Every single one of us faces this, whether we choose it or not. I’ve come to see our bodies as leasehold properties—vessels for the soul, energy, or whatever you believe animates us. When the lease expires, we leave this physical form behind and move on. Different religions and philos...

Awakening My Inner Child: A Reflection

Life's journey is a tapestry woven with our upbringing, environment, and personal experiences. Through this lens, I’ve often pondered: Am I guided by wisdom or mere instinct? None of these reflections are strictly right or wrong; they simply are facets of my unique path. Childhood Lessons and Their Impacts Reflecting on the early years, about half a century ago, I embraced certain beliefs: 1. Doing good would lead to good things happening to me. 2. Inaction wouldn't prevent things from happening for me. 3. Offering more would naturally earn me greater appreciation. Yet, despite these beliefs, life’s complexities have persisted. I wonder, how many of you find yourselves on a similar path? Navigating Through Self-Discovery Through NLP, I’ve learned to channel past aggressions, while sound meditation has helped break entrenched norms. These practices have allowed me to explore deeply layered thoughts—some stemming from past imprints, others from set expectations. But what truly is...

Discovering My Inner Child: Lessons in Authenticity and Resilience

  Title:  Discovering My Inner Child: Lessons in Authenticity and Resilience Twelve years ago, I took a leap that changed my life—I joined an inner self-discovery workshop. That decision not only helped me confront my inner struggles but also laid the foundation for personal and professional growth, teaching me resilience and the importance of self-awareness in navigating challenges. Financial limitations had kept me from participating earlier, even though I had longed for it for years. The workshop turned out to be a profound experience, filled with tears, realizations, and emotional confrontations. One of the most intense revelations was my deep-seated resentment toward my mother. She was the only person I could direct my frustrations at, though it was far from transparent. On the surface, I continued to be her financial supporter, the one who shouldered responsibilities for her and my siblings. She often pressured me by pointing out how others supported their families, guil...

Rebuilding From Within: Healing Your Inner Child to Master Your Destiny

#MasteringOurDestiny: Understanding and Healing the Inner Child When I started off on this journey, I began with a focus on #richness—richness of life, growth, and meaning. Ironically, perhaps it was this richness that led to my Facebook account being hacked. It’s been almost eight months now, and I’m still in the process of trying to retrieve it. What a lesson this has been! In the early days, backup measures were nonexistent, and the recovery process now demands information that wasn’t even required during initial registration. Believe it or not, the hacking happened on a day of discovery—a day when a deep secret came to light. But that’s life. Change happens, and we move forward. I decided to shift my focus to this new chapter under #masteringourdestiny. I began to rebuild—not just my Facebook account but my life. I dug deeper into my #unconsciousmind, and one truth became very clear: the only constant in life is change. Is change good or bad? Well, it depends on how we look at ...
