Pattern Shifts

Last night, I had insightful discussion with a very close friend; one whom I call my spiritual sibling. Don’t ask me why or how come? It just feels right as he is one of those very few whom I have no qualms expressing my inner thoughts to. And time and time again, he has broaden my perspectives.

The topic of discussion was on how we as human beings function through a series of patterns. How we eat, how we wear stuff, thought process, things we choose to do…. The crux of the discussion was in reference to the dissatisfaction, unhappiness, frustrations, depressions, one feels at a particular point in time. And the reason one would feel that way is attributed to the patterns in which they live by. Usually when a person already feels the negative emotions of his/her life, it’s probably too late to mitigate the situation.

The remedy as he so wisely pointed out is to shift living patterns to negate negative emotions; its what he describes it as pattern shift. While the privilege few may have been exempted from such a situation, the rest of us would have gone through this in one way or another.

This thought really propels those electrical charges within my brain. Reason being is that while I was looking fine on the outside, I was in a slight melancholic state inside. Thankfully, I am changing my living patterns and in the midst of transitioning into another phase in my life. It feels good; for now.

And so I will leave you dear readers with this thought, for the men and the women who feels trapped within the clutches and confines of your life or a part thereof. Trace your patterns. Trace your patterns to the happy trails which casts the warm sunlight against your face, where flowers bloom and breathless sights endlessly encapsulates your peripheral vision, and stay there. You belong there. And for those patterns which casts a tall dark shadow over your world, fills your heart with yearnings which supresses your fiery passion filled spirit from the days of your innocent past, I say exchange it. Exchange it for one which sparks and fans flames of passion within and nurtures your field of dreams and wait for it to bloom.

Bloom, Baby, Bloom!

Feeling ill

Goodness, the damn cough is really getting to me. Havent been able to sleep a wink for the past few days. Part anxiety part coughing.... when will this ever end? *cough* *cough*

Despite of the cough, I managed to scrounged out another piece of little treasure from my past. Hope you enjoy it. Link

The reprise of Detoxification

This is something I wrote a long time ago. Found it in some nook and cranny within the web under some pseudonym. Took me a while to locate it.

As for the jotting, this was a turbulent time where I was left very very vulnerable. And in the midst of finding a remedy for myself, I found my perspectives which would then drive me for years to come.

Here is a reprise of that jotting. Link

Btw, as I search out and convert my writings, there will be more and more of my stuff backlogged to roughly the dates which I wrote. Just have to find the time to locate those bits and pieces of papers which manage to capture those significant moments of my life.

So blessed...

I feel so blessed. Blessed that I am able to own my own home, blessed that I have my own transport, blessed that I have great work mentors, blessed that I am able to adapt into most situations (i said most, not all, i am human afterall), but most of all, I am blessed with friends I can count on and listen to my occassional rants about the happenings and turmoils happening around me without prejudice. These are the few I trust my life with (and at this point, my emotions. Yes, there is always the first time). Thanks for being within the inner circle.

Btw, thanks staggy, for meeting me late at night and helping me see things thru the dust and clutter , despite your early morning flight tomorrow. Really needed to hear those words from you.

Resurrection!

Its been about a year since my last blog post. Yes loads of changes since then. Perspectives changed, environment changed, still Philosophical though. Been reinventing myself again and again. Challenging myself on career matters and trying to get back on being the adventurous dude I was yonks ago.

Some of you may ask why start again suddenly? Well, part of reinventing myself again. For the past few years, I have moved from Business Biz Dev roles to Management Consulting Roles then sort of fell into technical consulting and now have made a concious decision to move into a softer field. HR Consulting. How does that relate to me resurrecting my blog? Well, being in Management anf Technical Consulting I have to say I got introverted. Hiding in my lil cubby hole and occupying myself reports, frameworks, PM skills, learning technical jargons and also for most part hiding my emotions due to past relationship experience (BTW, Experience is what you get when you dont get what you wanted - Dr. Randy Pausch). This was my constructive way in dealing with relationship experiences. But now, am reinventing myself by going into a softer skill environment, and there is a need to be more open, people oriented and gain some soft skills. Hence, this blog will be part of my reinvention.

Will move my older posts from my last blog location over. Not all but the more significant ones, plus all my other jottings from all over the net. Consolidation time. :)

Am going to be more consistent with my posts and the first port of call is to get a digi cam to capture and share my new chronicles.

Till my next updated post, Cheers! :)
