You Have Clothed Me with Your Glory

I played one of my own songs just now, which I composed years ago. The music sounded nice to me.:) When I first composed it, I didn't quite like it. Probably at that time, the perfectionist streak in me was still quite dominant, and that was why I didn't quite like it. Or maybe because at that time, I still had a lot of spiritual and emotional clutter, which made it difficult for me to appreciate my own musical talent.

If you are upright and your conscience is clear, then you should not be afraid of those who are unrighteous and who hate your guts.

Bad company corrupts good character.

~ 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV)

 

I agree absolutely. That's why I'd rather shun certain people at work and be labelled as anti-social, than to be close to them and allow them to be a bad influence in my life.

Decluttering

I think I am now ready for love.:p I have done quite a fair bit of decluttering lately. And somehow decluttering of the physical environment seems to help me remove my emotional clutter layer by layer.

Feeling 'Super' Blessed

A very dear friend gave me a Guess wallet as a birthday gift.:) I feel 'super' blessed, especially because my friend isn't well-off and she specially sent it from New Zealand.:) Furthermore, I wasn't expecting a birthday gift from her. Just her friendship is a good enough gift for me.:)

Decluttering

Decluttering really works.:) I could feel a positive shift in energy. Things are changing at the spiritual, physical and emotional/mental levels.:)

Grief is a process. It can't be rushed. It can't be pushed. It takes its time...As long as grief keeps moving and flowing, it is a healthy process of letting go...(We) should not try to push (our) grief away, even if it seems to come at "inconvenient" times or take (us) by surprise. This is a healthy and necessary process of letting go.

To those problematic people who have the tendency to project their problematic selves onto others, I want to say: Learn to live with yourselves. Accept yourselves. Work on your flaws and work on the problematic you. And stop being such a pain!

Someone commented today that she'd rather let me be her counsellor than let my counsellor colleague be her counsellor, even though I'm not trained in counselling. She said something to the effect that there must be rapport between a counsellor and a counsellee in order for counselling to be effective. I agree! In fact, in all helping relationships, rapport is one crucial element. Having head knowledge of counselling theories, et cetera will never be good enough, if a counsellor is unable or unwilling to bring himself or herself down to the level of his or her counsellee. How can rapport be established if a counsellor fails to bring himself or herself down to the level of his or her counsellee?

Integrity

It's very unbelievable that those with integrity issue like to question or doubt my integrity but yet choose to trust others with similar integrity issue!!!

Decluttering

In the past few weeks, I had been trying to remove some clutter in my room. And it so happened that I decided to spend the last two days and today 'decluttering' my inner being. And you know what? Yesterday, I decided to buy myself a book and one book seemed to be 'calling out' to me. Can you believe that the book is about decluttering one's physical, emotional and mental spaces?! All these might seem to be coincidental, but I don't think so. Decluttering must take place in order for a new life to be birthed and for healing to take place.

I've said it quite a number of times and I think it warrants a repeat: I may not look smart but I'm certainly NOT stupid or gullible!!! You (It's a plural 'you' here) may be able to deceive other people easily but it doesn't mean you can deceive me easily. When I was a philosophy major in uni, I was trained to think critically. So please don't assume that I'm a fool!!!
