2 grandfather stories

I've always had people ask me why must they fall out of love, expecting me to give an answer about the unfavourable elements. These are times when it seems that they are vulnerable and seeking direction. Is that so? I don't like to see friends without soul, even temporarily. Its just not right.

Most of the time they already have the answers they seem to be seeking. They just want validation.

I've given answers ranging from subscribing to M1 instead of Starhub (take that starhub! for not rewarding my loyalty) to listening to White Zombie instead of Britney Spears. These make more sense than feeling bad about yourself for failing to gain someone's acceptance.

Sometimes I even give them a good ticking off.

Everyone of us are playing games. One of them is the game of competing with yourself. There is the you that knows that success takes hardwork. (unless of course, you are not fed by a silver spoon but a golden ladel) And there is the you that just wants to get in bed and just cuddle. Getting a leg up on the lazy monster is tough. When you allow the lazy monster to hold the remote control, you are exposed to the whatever-happens-happens menatlity. When you want to watch the news on FOX, lazy monster will not give you the remote.

You feel down because you allow yourself to. Not because of the elements. Don't find excuses for yourself. The weird thing is most people want to be taken away by an irresistable force. Or use a reasonable excuse acceptable to the audience. They see themselves as the audience! When they are in fact, the lead actor! They are just too lazy to go against the game of life. Read more about social game here.

Every day you are moving towards an outcome. No matter what you do, you cannot stop or reverse time. If your day starts at 6am, you can be sure that you will hit 6pm. To have the same things and in the same state you are at 6am, its very simple. Just do nothing or follow your routine.

"Just give lazy monster the remote... I'll watch what it wants to watch."

To end up with something instead of nothing, you got to get moving. You got to drift, you got to parallel park, you got to drive with a stick, you got to step on it and watch out for the speed camera at the CTE!

Many people like predictability, thats why they are contented to stay where they are. They can predict what they would have at 6pm. And they dare to say that their lives are unhappy! Who is allowing that to happen?!

If doing something that can hamper the predictability of the outcome at 6pm, the thought is thrown out. Because one cannot handle the prospect of getting into a situation that can possibily be out of his control. One even gets rid of lazy monster and spring into action when it is thought that predictability is compromised - to resurrect lazy monster...

"What if things turn out worst rather than better off at 6pm?"

"What if I am unable to catch the show thats scheduled to air at 6pm?"

"What if my day ended at 7pm rather than 6pm?"

what.. . .what. . . .. what ur cb

In the end, many choose to do nothing.
Just go with the flow of what life throws at you.
Absorb the impact.
Wait for the next onslaught.

Me: "Why does this happen to you again and again?" I whipped the Tequila in
Heartbroken: "Because you cannot go against the elements. Thats what you said before. Its my fate. This is what I am. I have to accept it."
"FUCK YOU! You are a FUCKING loser! Finding excuses as it is easier to live with yourself this way. Blame the elements!? OMG If you carry on this way... .. we all know whats going to happen. The next bottle's on you by the way." (i could have never said to accept IT as feng shui is all about change. if we are to accept everything that life throws at our direction, there is no need for feng shui. and this is not all about feng shui. its about your inner self)"
"Talk to me!!!!"

I like to tell stories and use simple examples to illustrate my point.

An old feng shui story goes like this.

One day the best life reader in the world gave a young genius a reading. This kid had the potential to achieve great things. The world around him knows his success will be inevitable rather that "very possible". The reader read his life like a book.

"You will achieve great success. You will be a millionaire by age 23. You have potential the world have never witnessed. You will blah.. . blah . . .blah..."

Hearing this, the kid sat on his genius ass waiting for his fortune to come.

Do you think he will fulfil his potential?


Another story goes like this

A religious man lives in a poor village. A Flood came and he had to climb up the roof. All the while the water was rising. It rose to his ankles.

A row boat came to rescue him. He said "Its alright. Save the others. God will save me."

Then the water rose to his chest. A motor boat came to rescue him. He shouted "Just go. God will save me."

The water kept rising. This time he had to tilt his nose up to breath. A helicopter came and lowered a ladder to save him. He waved the helicopter away. In his mind "Leave me. I have faith that God will save me."

He drowned and ran into God. He was furious and complained. "I have dedicated my life to you and just when I needed you most, you did not even turn up!"

God: "I tried to save you. I've sent the row boat, motor boat and the helicopter to save you. But you turned them away!"



So get off your fat ass and do something.

I've had this question thrown at me again and again

"Can anyone survive on faith alone?"

Honestly, i don't have the answers.

Why don't you ask yourself "What is faith?"
