Victorious 2009… Kung hei fat choi
As 2009 came in, I smiled and looked up thanking God for the countless blessings that He had given me in 2008. But above all the things I was grateful for, I thanked Him so much for teaching me how to forgive and leave the bad memories and ill feelings behind, keeping only the lessons that will guide me as I journey in the maze called life.
Forgiving those who have hurt, insulted and mocked me was easy especially when I listenend to these words that a meditation teacher, Carmen Warrington, said:
“…they have only hurt me because of their own pain, their own unfulfilled needs…”
Yes, true indeed. The chaos in the world is mainly caused by people’s inner pain and unfulfilled needs. Unfortunately, people deal with these by unconsciously causing pain to others… and the cycle continues.
I am glad I repeatedly listened to Carmen Warrington’s line for this helped me forgive those who crossed my path and forgive myself for giving in to anger. Now, I am welcoming 2009 with a fresh start, a lot of peace, love and happiness… and I know that this is going to be a victorious year for me.
Have a blessed New Year to all.
So be it.
