Have you taken a buffet lately?
I did.
I had it in the middle of cold weather.
We were admiring the bright white Switzerland while we were having our buffet breakfast. Old friends catching up over plenty of “makan” (eating) ….
We were very excited when we first got to the restaurant, as we were so hungry after a long rest. After viewing the wide selections of food, we wanted to pick up so much food into our plates. However, it took us a few rounds in order to find out what’s our favorite among all the selections. Eventually, we had a wonderful long conversation over cups of coffee before we left.
Our conversation was mostly about new projects.
Are you taking up a new project at this moment?
Or, are you into building a new career/business?
Are you studying for a test for promotion?
The feeling is just like when we first got to the restaurant. We were so excited and wanted to try everything at a time.
However, after viewing the wide variety of food, we were a bit overwhelming of what or where to start first.
Being overwhelming of the workload that we have could slow us down too.
Work could break down into pieces after reading the whole proposal, just like dishing our meal by section; we slowly know where to start digging our dish at a buffet.
This could chunk down (go down into detail) like what we learned in NLP. We could break the whole project into segments.
Instead of being overwhelming, we could handle our project like putting puzzle, piece by piece easily. Just like having our buffet, course by course.
We would go back to the areas where needed improvement in a project. Like after we found out there are certain dishes were pretty good, we would go back for a second serving.
Eventually, the project will complete with great success. Hahah… we finished eating the dishes that we like with satisfaction. That’s why we celebrated with cups of coffee.
Phew! What a huge project I had with my friend this morning. Hahah….

“kik kak, kik kak, kik kak,…’ Have you ever pay attention to the noise at the traffic light before?
This noise is common in the country that I live in.
When you walk on the street, you come to a junction that needs to cross the road on green.
Sometimes you need to press the button on the pole of the traffic light for it to turn green for you to cross the street.
Sometimes you may notice, someone who is nearer to the pole, keep pressing the button in hoping the pedestrian traffic would turn green sooner.
Same as in the lift, just the noise has become ‘dek, dek, dek…’ One keeps pressing the ‘close’ button for the lift door to close …. hopefully …..quicker.
It happens onboard too, many doubt the call light not working so well, therefore, becomes Christmas decoration at night in the cabin.
We maybe aware, no matter how many time we press the button, the speed for the traffic light to turn green is the same.
It is just like in a flow of starting a new business or learning a new skill.
There are times when we are not mature enough to start a new career; we experience a longer waiting time to be successful.
It is just like standing at the junction with red light. No matter how much we work by pressing the button, we still need to wait for the light to turn green.
There are times, we have let go of the limiting beliefs with learning to move, thus, the waiting time is much shorter than we expected.
Maybe you have this feeling before.
You are standing at this side of the road, but your mind and heart are over at the other side of the road. The waiting is even much longer in your mind’s time.
No matter how much you wanted to be at the other side of the road, the waiting time is the same. And you feel even longer if your mind is not at where you are.
You may even experience this before. When your heart and mind are over across the road while you are standing at this side of the junction, you feel your heartbeat unhealthily faster and heavier.
You admire the people over the other side could reach the destination sooner, by doing so, you forgotten the beauty of working at the present.
By focusing on how others could reach faster, you have actually slow down your own journey by omitting what’s in your hands.
Patient
Patient in working towards your goal.
Patient to practice, to focus on self only.
Patient to work on what’s in your hands only.
Patient to let go of your beliefs that limiting yourself.
Patient and believe that eventually you will be at the other side of the road.

Hang in there...
Sometimes being “in between” is not a pleasant feeling….
The middle child in a family…
The one that is not old enough to have the freedom as the elder child… and not young enough to act like a baby at home…
The feeling that going to next grade at school.
Start missing friends and thinking of the fun during the past one year,…
When graving for durian (fruit), to some it is not enough to take only one or two mouthful of durian…
When having an argument, one cannot hold all the grievances in side and the best is to say it out once and for all…
Most of us as a human are afraid of meeting spirit, because they seem like non-human but living in the human world… somewhere in between…
Neither here nor there….
What a feel without assurance…
That’s where the out side of a comfort zone…
The feeling of hanging out there without anything to grasp hold off….
We are conditioned to have completion…
We were told to finish our homework…
We were told to finish our rice in our own bowls…
We were told to finish our work before we play…
However, what we have learned, in times, we need to unlearn too…
When we are very comfortable in one place, most of us begin to be complacency and resist the change…
When we are comfortable long enough, we self create a box to limit our ability…
The worse scenario, we try to fix the box on to others by discouraging them to remove it…
Everyone of us is unique.
Things that does not work on one, does not mean others would have the same result…
This is a journey for self-discovery, the own journey, the very personal one and the very unique one for oneself…
Just hang in there and explore opportunities for yourself to break the boxes that you have created….
Learn to unlearn things that limit us…
Last night, I have learned all these from my wonderful friends… Thank you very much for inviting me to learn with you…
8 Days of making CHANGES in your LIFE!

NLP/Time Line Therapy®/Hypnotherapy

What do you want in lfe?
When asked ‘What do you want in life?’
What do you want?
What do you want?
Really, what do you want in your life?
About 7 out of 10 would tell me. They want happiness and peacefulness.
How do we achieve the happiness and peacefulness?
They say they are working hard to make more money to fulfill the happiness and peacefulness….
The happiness comes from the money that they use to buy the house, the clothes, the cars, jewelries, shoes, bags, gadget,….
To achieve more, to get married, have kids,…
To achieve even more, investment on buildings, houses, shares,…
…..
That’s reminds me of, a lady who handed her box of jewelries to a ground staff due to miscommunication before she boarded the plane….
During the flight…
She spilt her drink on her first class seat….
She did not have the appetite to eat onboard….
She basically could not relax through out the whole flight….
Her mind was totally drawn to the jewelry box that she had passed to the ground staff.
The questions that she asked was basically about her valuables repeatedly…
What happen to the theory of making and owning more to have the happiness and peacefulness?
Having more is really having the peace of mind?
Some rich men still worry about their children if they are no longer around….
Vs. a carefree bag packer could roam around without any concern about how others think of him…
Carefree villagers who enjoy their simple life and even declined to have the opportunity to make more money in the city…
Are we really breaking free from the cage of worries by making more money?
It seem the more money we have, the more burden we are carrying….
I remember of my late super carefree grandmother mentioned in Chinese “when we can carry it, means we can put it down too”….
Now I understand, it is the state of mind that she was referring…
It is not about how much money a person makes.
I believe you heard of those stories about…
How politicians could make a country collapse, by the money that they made and spent….
Some rich men could gamble away their buildings over night…
Some rich tai tai (mrs) could non stop buying bags after bags, shoes after shoes, just to filled up a temporary thrill…
The state of mind and carefree is ultimately what people are seeking for…
The state of mind that we do not need to pretend…
The state of mind that we do not need to wear a mask…
The state of mind that we are comfortable to be ourselves….
The state of mind that we are honest to face our weaknesses and make the change…
Eventually, the happiness and peacefulness that people are seeking for is to live in HONESTY… it is not about how much do we make…
What do you want?

Live Without Wearing A Mask
Years ago, when I was so stressed about how I am going to start to do things that I enjoy doing, that is to help people to improve life. A friend of mine in London told me ‘Allow others to help you, so that you can help ten other people when you can stand up on your own feet. Hope that five out of the ten people that you have helped can help others. This is how it goes…’
Being a super independent person, I have set up the rule that I would not allow others to help me. If I accept others’ help, that shows I am weak…. Poor ten other people have to find someone else….not from me, as long as I am still wearing my mask to hide my unhappiness and stress.
We know that we will fall sick if we experienced prolong stress and unhappiness. Some stories could go like this… ‘He has got cancer, because he has been working so hard and not appreciated at home…’ or ‘Of course la! She has been tolerating the conflict and stress…’
Don’t you think we can avoid all these ‘of course…’ and ‘because…’ to ‘dis-ease’?
Have you seen some of us smoke through out the life, and yet very healthy and die at old age?
Have you seen some of us stay very healthy, it could be out of our imagination that the person would have diagnosed with disease at a very young age?
Yes, some of us believe that is Karma or any other explanation.
To me it is not the case.
How true in our belief system is base on how much we believe in it. In Malaysia, as a multi racial country, our belief system in every family in the neighborhood can be very diverse.
One can believe in receiving the miracle of Jesus and the other can receive the blessing from the Allah. Even if it was not base on religion, some believe it is not good to cut our nail when it is at night. Well, anything is possible!
Disease could happen when one is suppressing the conflict within by not being self in the self-created boxes. Most of the time, when one putting on masks to be a ‘socially acceptable person’ or ‘being nice’….and from ‘should’ or ‘should not’ or having a firmed right or wrong in the self built boundaries.
Being consciously or unconsciously to have made this decision ‘Not nice to leave work early, because I am a hard working person’, ‘I am a man, I will not ask my rich dad for help though I am in great debt.’, ‘I am the lady of the house, I should take care of all the household even though I am really, really stressed out’…
Unconscious mind started to give signals by creating awareness to the person with stiff shoulders, weak body, injuries, signs and even feeling of irritation.
Irritation steps in by having people around most of the time. E.g. an indecisive mum could be pushed around by the people with her. She just feels that she can’t offend people and thus, not being self by not voicing out what she wants or firmed with her decision.
As time slowly goes by, accumulated with stress by self and people around the person.…‘Dis-ease’ formed.
Remember, some rules are meant to be broken…
By having reasonable amount of help by others and being self can actually improve health and life.
It is just like my friend said ‘Just allow others to give you a push…’ and being self and admit that you really need help. It is not being weak, but allowing others to have the opportunity to be capable to help you too.
This friend of mine has donated for the voluntary trips that I have organized to Laos, Indonesia and India, and helped numerous of children to have opportunity to go back to schools and gave comfort to the street kids too.
Thank you my friend. You have made me aware of my capability just by BEING SELF & LIVE WITHOUT A MASK….
