My Poem ~ Blessings for You

May you be revealed upon the joy of realisations
May you be blessed with a full state of mindfulness always
May you continue to be a witness of life unperturbed
May you be comforted by the layers of understanding
May you be showered with a great sense of compassion
May you cultivate good disciplines and pratices
May you shine in wisdom and truth
May you attain the ultimate mastery
May you be strong as a torch for those in need
May you over ride unforseen tidal waves of life
May you be well with a deep sense of happiness within
May you carry on your good deeds as you will
May you be fulfilled and free within and without.

My business is to create... P.S. I Love You

A beautiful funny movie with an interesting approach in narration: 

A young widow discovers that her late husband has left her 10 messages intended to help ease her pain and start a new life.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0431308/

Trailer: http://youtu.be/roUFECeNJAA

The transcript is from the movie: P.S. I Love You. 

It serves as a reminder for me to remember what my purpose is... ; )

--------

In the scene where Jerry remembers his first meet with Holly in the green open pastures.

Gerry:

Life had changed as I knew it.

And now it's changed again, luv.

See, I don't worry about you remembering me...

...it's that girl on the road you keep forgetting.

"My business is to create. It doesn't even matter what you do. "  

You told me that, remember.

  

--------

In Gerry's letter:

All I know is, if you don't figure out the "something," you'll just stay ordinary.

And it doesn't matter if it's a work of art, or a taco, or a pair of socks.

Just create something new and there it is.  

And it's you, out in the world, outside of you.

And you can look at it, or hear it, or read it, or feel it...

...and you know a little bit more about you.

A little bit more than anybody else does.

--------

In the last scene where she get Gerry's last letter.

Holly's Mum:

You're alone no matter what. That's right.

So go home. Go find it.

Find that thing that makes you like nobody else.

Look for a sign.

..so all alone or not......you gotta walk ahead.

The thing to remember is......if we're all alone, then we're all together in that too.

It helps me sometimes.

Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

At his Stanford University commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks -- including death itself.

Jobs in his Stanford University speech:

"...When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart...No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary..."
