5 Insights you should know

ONENESS
We, humanity and all sentient beings and the entire universe are really one. The great tragedy of living is thinking we are all separate from each other, and sadly, the whole world and it's values seem to be anchored on this.
When we can identify ourselves with all of life, then we have realized the Oneness.

The only time is NOW.
The present is always now and fresh if it is experienced in the NOW. Now is the only time we have. To speculate that the future will be better or to bring up the past is to create pain and devalue the only real thing we have.
The gift of being in the present means constant renewal and creativity to experience a reality we truly desire.

HAPPINESS is self-generated.
We do not need anyone to "complete" us. To make our love ones, or our objects of desire "responsible" for our happiness is to diminish the definition of love that we give and receive. Love is not "trade" wherein we love someone only if we are loved back. Love is unconditionally given and accepted. To make our giving love dependent on whether it is accepted or not is to reduce it to a deal or contract of mutual benefit, no different from a common business transaction.
Everything we need is already inside us. We are the fire and breath of our own souls.

Every SPIRITUAL QUEST is doomed to fail.
How can you find something that is already "here"?
It has always been and it will always be here. To go on a quest for it is to deny it. God is here, there, and everywhere.
Heaven is not a geographical place we go when we die. Eternity is not something that starts upon death. Heaven is the experience of the timeless and eternal that we mortals, though bound by time and space are capable of. It can be expeienced in every "now" and we do not have to die to get there. Heaven does not wait; it is we who delay experiencing it. The spiritual quest therefore is not really a quest but more of an "awakening" to transcede in everyday living. It is the discovery of both our human and divine capacity to experience in a fresh, untainted way what is already here - the world as it is.

Have you LOVE?
Our attempts at love that create wealth, stature and veything physical will not last, however, another second to serve us after we die. What will remain is the love we gave with authenticity and truth. It is those moments when we felt a loss of personal because we opened ourselves totally to love. It is the love we made, and the people whom we felt the Oneness with that will keep the love alive beyond mortality.
It is the love for others that answers the eternal questions of why life was even created in the first place. Life was created because the Oneness is love and love is the Oneness. It is as simple and as profound as that.

your life is controlled by your thoughts

Research have found out that if you want to change the way you act, we must first change the way we think. Psychologists said that our mind is very powerful and influential. If we allow negative thoughts to dominate us for sure we will end up miserable. It is therefore important that we should know how to control our thoughts, especially if these are negative ones.
A research reveals that most people speak at a rate of 150-200 words per minute, but the mind can listen to about 500-600 words a minute. So it is important that we should be aware of what kind of talk our mind is engaged in. If we are aware that our mind is entertaining negative thoughts, it is important that we should switch our thoughts to positive ones. However, in the event we feel that we are carried away by toxic talks in our mind, we have to pose for a while and try to analyze whether what the mind is feeding us is actually happening. This is an effective step to stop being controlled by negative thoughts.
The research also points out that negative thoughts do not only shape our actions, but also this has an influence in the behavior of an unborn child. It says that at 6 months old, the unborn child can see, hear, experience, taste, feel and even learn what the mother is thinking and feeling. What the pregnant mother feels emotionally is transformed directly to the unborn child. However, the most harmful is when the mother doesn't want the child.
