ABCs of Embracing Your Life

Focus Imagine a laser. Remember when you were young, using a magnifying glass, trying to burn a hole on a piece of paper with the sunlight? That my friend, is focus. What we focus on, we get. I realise that I have got most of what I focused on. Bad or good. So now the question is, what should we focus on? Since we are to live this life. Then might as well make the best out of it, put in positive thinking and actions in our life. Rather then dwelling in the negatives. Positive thinking and focus is like giving nourishment to our mind, body and soul; while focusing on negative is like putting in poison into our mind and life. So, from today onwards, I will focus on the abundance of life. And focusing on having this abundance to come to me.

Are you living your soul purpose? I was born into a fairly normal family, led a fairly normal childhood. But a big part of me always wanted to go out. Wanted to see the world. When I was young, when I ponder about a question or a riddle, I would always gaze up. I remembered my primary school tuition teacher commented that I'd look up the ceiling everytime I am thinking.

People have always said that I am a smart student, but deep down, I know it is not that I am smart. It was because I had a razor sharp focus coupled with determination. Everyday, after school, I will ride on my red scooter, then buy lunch from the nearby stall. It was normally packed rice with 2 kinds of vegetables. On days when I felt I needed to pamper myself, I would order stewed chicken feet. Then go home, take my shower, wash my clothes and start of with doing my homework. I will be there studying and doing my work, all day. This went on for the whole year. I was at the 6th place when I joined the school in Form 4, by the end of Form 5, I was the first in my class.
