Three Thoughts That Landed on My Heart Today

Sometimes before a TikTok Live, I sit with myself and ask:
“What is life really trying to teach me today?”
And these three thoughts kept circling back — soft, loud, and persistent.
So I took it as a sign to share them here, too.

1️⃣ Culture Is a Habit We Cultivate — Not Something We’re Born With

People like to say,
“This is our culture. This is just how we do things.”
But if you look closely, most of what we call “culture” is simply a habit that survived long enough to look sacred.

We inherit behaviours without realising it.
We repeat patterns we never questioned.
We carry expectations that were never ours to begin with.

So the real question is:
What have you been carrying that came from your past… not your truth?

Culture is beautiful when it guides us.
But culture becomes a burden when it cages us.

In this era — especially Period 9 — we’re being asked to evolve, not break, the traditions we inherited.
Upgrade the habits, keep the wisdom, release the heaviness.

2️⃣ A Grab Driver’s Conversation — The Unexpected Teacher

Some of the best life lessons don’t come from gurus, masters or books.
They come from the most unexpected human beings — like a Grab driver on a random afternoon.

A simple sentence like,
“Life simple la… you happy then ok already.”
can snap you back into your senses harder than a thousand motivational quotes.

These everyday conversations remind us that everyone is carrying a story:
a wound they never told anyone,
a dream they’re still chasing,
a truth they learned the hard way.

When we choose to listen — really listen — life gives us teachers in T-shirts instead of robes.
Wisdom doesn’t always arrive in a temple.
Sometimes it arrives in a Perodua Myvi with the meter running.

3️⃣ Loving Yourself: The Hard Truth About Attachments

Here’s where it gets real.

A lot of people say they’re practicing “self-love.”
But when we dig deeper…
their self-love is still tied to something or someone.

“I’m healing because I want to prove I’m strong.”
“I want to love myself so I won’t be abandoned.”
“I’m doing this because I want to be worthy.”

All these still come from attachment.

True self-love…
is when you choose yourself even when there is no external reward, no applause, no validation.

It’s not aesthetic.
It’s discipline.
It’s a decision.

Self-love is the moment you stop negotiating your worth with the world.
It’s when your inner culture (remember point #1?) finally shifts.

All Three Thoughts Point to One Thing

Culture shapes us.
Conversations awaken us.
Attachments challenge us.

And somewhere in the middle of these three,
we meet ourselves again — this time more honestly.

Maybe that’s the whole point of living:
to keep remembering who we are, layer by layer, moment by moment.

If these thoughts land for you, take them as an invitation.
Not to change everything today…
but to pause, reflect, and choose differently — even if it’s just one small choice.

Because your worth awakens not in the big moments…
but in these gentle realisations that slowly shift your whole life

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 ...

Procrastination - is murdering your energy.

 Procrastination is can be a habit if not address immediately. People who procrastinate missed a lot of opportunities in life. They said, in order to build a habit one just need to do it 3 to 5 times. Others said that it takes about 18 to 254 days. Then what happened to all the sciences when I said that it takes second to build. This is because when I was attending a workshop that encourage us to mouth vulgar words, it just stuck with so much energy to me. I do not even think it is wrong to do so. Therefore, do procrastination needs so long?   #Wikipedia categorized this as the unwillingness to act even though they know that it is a negative consequences. Then you will ask, why one do it? Good question. Now, why do you do it then? Be honest, we have done this before and maybe in future too. However, what is the cause for people to keep doing it? Based on the research done, the following are some of the valid reasons for this habits. To me, I believe it is a secondary gain...

How Does One Achieve a Breakthrough? The effect.

This reflects the experiences of many people in life. They want to break through their challenges, but how can they do it? Some manage it by staying quiet, while others shout their intentions to anyone who will listen. Personally, I've been stuck in a cycle for many years until I began to discover my inner child. When you observe others expressing their frustrations or dissatisfaction, you may have a different opinion based on how well you know them. Generally, these types of people can be categorized as follows: 1. Learned Helplessness They may feel powerless to change their circumstances, believing their efforts won't make a difference, even if they try. For example, I have a friend who is afraid of dying. He perceives news about toxins as good news, which he uses to manipulate people. He relies on fear to mask his sense of helplessness. 2. Negative Thinking Some individuals tend to focus on problems rather than solutions, often exaggerating the negatives while ignoring...
