Yo! Time for my weekly article! First of all, I’d like to paste the link to the lyrics of my new song here. You can take a look if you want. Next… well I wanna say that I’ve kinda stumbled upon a motto of sorts. This motto was inspired by Haley Hoffman Smith, who, incidentally, also both shares higher perspectives and is a singer-songwriter at the same time!
Basically, that perspective is this – It is all allowed to be laughably easy.
Here, I want to talk about outcome happiness for a moment. One thing that causes suffering is your dissatisfaction with the situation. You are unable to accept how things are and that causes you great distress. Previously it used to wreck my days into utter holes of misery and inaction.
Now that is a tale of a bygone era for me.
I see the higher perspective as this – I accept everything. Everything is working out perfectly in my favour, just as it should be. All in divine timing, and my blessings shall arrive on time as they will…. Peace.
Now, there is indeed a shred of fatalism in this. I remember the drama I used to love in the past, The Myth. Not the Jackie Chan movie, but the Hu Ge drama. Basically, it was such that every time the people who time-travelled from the past tried to change it, they realised that whatever they did, it made no difference. Things would still unfold perfectly as it had in history, and sometimes their actions even played a big part in its unfolding.
Now, some people rage out of control when free will is questioned. However, there is a crucial component that I must mention here.
Basically, that’s the flow of wuwei. Not forcing, and simply easefully going with the flow of life. That is the ultimate killer technique so to speak! You need only be in alignment, and everything will be smooth. You need not try too hard. The universe itself will show you which path to take, redirect you from what is not meant for you, and not give you peace in what is not aligned.
Anyway, here’s the present situation for me!
I no longer have mental anguish. Perhaps if I were once placed in said situation, I would have some expectations that led to resistance against this. It would lead to suffering in my life that effectively crippled me from living in the moment and enjoying my life. However, that’s different now…
Here’s an analogy for life. Let’s say that even if you are in a job that doesn’t spark passion within you, why! That’s perfectly fine. You simply clinically fulfil your duties and get your pay. You proceed at a smooth pace that easily is comfortable and works for you. And you lead an easeful life, and pursue your passions on the side alongside that! It’s a go with the flow yo!
Now, if we have resistance to life, that causes suffering. For a past version!! of myself, that would literally mean doing nothing, even to the extent of just plain moping and feeling bad about things. Now, however, it has completely been replaced by fine, doing it, feeling easeful and okay, and still having my power with me and enjoying life therein. Not giving my power away by letting the thing cause misery within my life and rob all ability to be happy. Still thriving and radiating to the fullest regardless…
Anyway let’s put that philosophy part on hold. I wanna talk about some things in my life!
First up, my new motto. It is allowed to be laughably easy. For some people life is more a rollercoaster of anguish, resignation, stress and such. But yo, in fact you can just reclaim your power and totally thrive in what lights you up! You actually don’t have to feel misery from the rest! Just go at a slow, comfortable, easeful pace. Just think about it. I have this task, which is basically to get from Point A to Point B. Well! I just comfortably do it in utter easefulness! Make sure not to take on too much, voice it if need be!!
Then I simply go on to the next task and throughout the rest of the day, I also easefully allocate time for myself to do what truly matters to me.
Life does not have to be difficult. Force, force force! Bleh! Flow.
And of course, slow down, let your nervous system feel so comforted. When you go do what you truly! wanna do, it’s more so organically driven!!! by a desire within you and! with the energy to spare as opposed to a sense of… I guess, how other people might think about you! You exist from worthiness! And you operate from a state of fullness and completion!
Anyways, yeah. Some cool things about my life in the past week or so?
Well, one thing is that I got Wordle-in-3 this morning. Heh. Then I did Duolingo and I feel quite confident in winning the Diamond Championship again as I climbed to 10k EXP. Yay.
I’m planning to do my weekly composing later. I’ll just take it slow and not push too hard, just get a bit done in a comfortable way! And watch a movie too on Netflix or something.
Oh, I hit a hundred day streak in my daily yoga on Bend yesterday! That was cool! And oh, I definitely have to mention this!! Yesterday, I actually broke through the 20km mark in cycling. I hit 21.46 km yesterday. And I actually got some added context for this.
So basically, last week I didn’t go because I had a fever. And two weeks back I was super burnt out and I only did like barely over 10km probably… Anyways so I was thinking when going there yesterday: Ah! I’ll just aim to hit 13km. That’s probably a good decent solid enough result already! Yo, but who knows! While cycling itself I suddenly realised that hey, 20km was!!! indeed possible yo! And so I pushed forth and went for it. 🙂
It was awesome. I mean, yep, I do love breaking through my past limits yo.
I look forward to consistently breaking through the 20km mark in the future.
And yeah, another thing I really loved about yesterday was that I finally got to voice act out, alongside some movements, Gollum and Smeagle in my theatre class. That’s what I’ll be doing for my showcase in June if I haven’t already mentioned it!
And oh, I kinda already mentioned Duolingo earlier, but I hit 150 streak today! It’s been exactly 150 days since I started learning Korean! And I’m halfway through unit 46. Will be reaching score 53 tomorrow. Quite nice…
I’m 40% through the Discord JLPT N1 vocab quiz… and yep, I guess that’s about it! ……
Oh, one more. In my last article, I was actually 21/40 episodes through Pursuit of Jade. Right now, I’m actually 31/40 episodes through. And I must say, Yu Qianqian is my favourite character for reals. Subjective ik.
Finally I’ll mention that I’ve switched the posts on the FB page thingy into… well, one paragraph thingies that are a bit like quotes too. Just in case, you see, you wanted to know about that!
Have been easing in those 15min singing sessions with free Popsical 2!!
So all in all, I’d say that life is pretty much enjoyable and good even into the first week of a new role I’m now committed to. Generally speaking!!! It seems that I’ve been able to stay committed to my own life too in spite of that! And hmm, I would think that I’ve been doing rather! decently too.
And I do declare that this is here to stay as the norm for me.
Again, I say – It is all allowed to be laughably easy.
I am not forcing, or pushing. I simply am. In the flow of life, toward where I’ll ultimately be. And in the process I’ll simply enjoy, satisfied and easeful…
So, learn your life lessons, get off autopilot and be intentional and do what is aligned for you. You’ll find that you can really create an amazing life 4ya.
Note: You will be prepared by the universe, and over time you will grow in capacity to receive & hold abundance. 1 year ago, I’d be exhausted midday.
Something like yesterday, where I had Duolingo + theatre! + cycling + Japanese club at night, would’ve been impossible! It’s all about growth.
Trust in d universe’s abundance. Peace. Love and light. Daimon out. 🙂
