Ok, so let's take a look at this: how we will do all kinds of things just to make sure we stay loyal to our suffering. 

On the conscious level, we know we need to heal and move on, no doubt about it. On the unconscious level, we do things to make sure we stay loyal to the suffering. 

Why and how?  Let's start with the why:

• We stick to the story because it makes us feel comfortable and safe compared to what is unknown
• We repeat things mindlessly because we feel it takes...

One of the biggest causes of burnout for most people is trying to push things to happen because they feel or they think they need to. Because the world that we live in teaches us that we have control over when things should happen and that we can make things happen at a whim.

But the truth is, nothing happens in our timing, just because we say so. 

Right timing and learning to tune into our inner clocks for things to happen is such a vital life skill that most people have not...

The war I'm referring to is about the internal war within ourselves.

The chaos we see happening is the shadow side of human consciousness coming up to the surface, it has to be brought to the light in order for it to be resolved, heal and bring us back into greater balance. 

On so many different levels, this is not personal. It is the collective. It is 100s of generations of shadow consciousness that we have collectively stuffed down deep within our psyche.

Now the world is shaken, and...

Whenever we hit a roadblock and think that we do not have a choice, about anything in life, what is actually happening? 

It is life telling us that we have not looked at all the resources available to us. What are resources? They are our:

• knowledge
• abilities
• talents
• could also be something more tangible like physical items 
• other people's resource (this means we have to be open to what other people have to offer in guidance, advice, service, product etc)

So why do we feel we do...

One of the biggest downfalls in our human history has always been humanity's choice to go for the path of least resistance resulting in the lack of independent or critical thinking. And simply going with whatever is told to us.

I know this sounds harsh but perhaps instead of jumping to react to what I just said, ask yourself: why are you even reacting to what I just said (i.e. if you felt a reactionary knee jerk sensation in your stomach) 

What does it mean to think...

When we dislike certain behaviours of people we don't personally know, it is so easy to de-humanise them. We just see them as OTHER people with no connection to us whatsoever.

And we no longer identify them as real people with families or people with parents or kids. They are just blank faces with bad behaviours. We pigeonhole them and they become just another collective group of people to us. 

I had an interesting encounter where I became the other people. It's a funny one. I...

Some of us indulge in delusional positivity just to feel good for the moment, others believe in the delusion daily until they no longer know what is the truth what is delusion anymore. 

This is the nature of our minds. It is indeed what we think that decides how we perceive and relate to reality. 

I had a funny conversation with my 88-year-old dad, he really wanted to eat poh-piah (spring roll) from a particular restaurant. I told him that I would buy them for him the next time I...

The unconscious agreements we make with the world -- where we agree to say yes to everyone, even at the expense of our own happiness. 

The Yes-es we agree to are not even literal. It is not about us uttering the word, yes, it is our action, taking on more at our own expense because we think we should. 

Here's a checklist that you might find useful:

• Do you say yes to your loved ones to keep the peace?
• Do you say yes to more work in your office because you feel...

Power is a funny thing. 

Often, we think power is a strong force or big energy. But sometimes, the most subtle experience of power can transform our own lives or the lives of others. And we do not see it or experience it as such.

Power for some is exuded from their aura, and they do not even have to do anything, because they are built that way in their energy system. And maybe, they are not even conscious of the power they hold. Usually, this power is meant and used for their higher...

I know, the title of this article sounds ironic. Doesn't seem to make sense? Read on...

Most people in so many different ways have not completed their childhood. What do I mean by that? Learning how to parent one's inner child, for most, may never happen. For others, if they have self-awareness, may start to see how important it is to do so so that they are not relying on their partners, friends, people around them to do it for them!

How do these usually manifest?

Here's an example: Needing...
