Dream-Desire-Shortest Way

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Have a dream
Nourish your desire to achieve the dream

Once you lose the desire
Path to your dream will end there

Your loss of desire will harm no one but you
The word "regret" will haunt you for good
Stay away form fear
There is nothing to lose by pursuing your dream

Forget the shame and focus on what you want
Then you will see the shortest way to your dream before you


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Your Load in Life

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

 

Walking in a heavy rain

Too exhausted to take another step

Others pass by smiling

Without noticing how desperate I am

 

What is hard for you may be nothing to others

What is easy for you may be the hardest job for others

Everyone has his own load

Cannot be measured nor compared

The load is prepared solely for you to grow

 

If you keep going

It will stop raining someday

Walk with your faith

Until the sun comes out and shines over you

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

What Others Think

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

You never know what others think
Even if you ask them
There is no guarantee for truth

If you never get to know the truth
Why not create truth for yourself
In the way everyone would like

Beware of the negative pit
It will drag you into the spiral world of negativity

Stay focus on the positive facts
Imagine others are having pleasant thoughts
Or don't think about others' thoughts at all
That way you can stay healthier in a happier life


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Do the Right Thing

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

When you make a choice to do a certain thing

Behind the choice, there must be a reason or two

Everyone tries to make a right decision

So they can do the right thing

In life, you may have some antagonists

People who are against your idea, status or existence itself

They might try to vanquish you

As you can turn out to be one of their antagonists

This is why you have to think for all

Only the contributor for the universe can prevail

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Who to Blame?

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

All the things happen to you are right

If you can see them, as a third person, in distance

As they are the things you have attracted

If something unfavorable happened

You have the power to alter it into the way you like

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."

Said Buddha

It is all up to you

If you blame someone else and complain

or surrender and simply respond to the things in life

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Reason for Your Existence

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Quiet your mind
Then you will know the ultimate reason for your existence
You were born on this planet to help others

If you are not helping others, you are hindering the universe

You don't have to sacrifice for others
When you think for all, including yourself

Your inherent way of helping others will be shown
The way you would feel fulfillment of life

Listen to yourself
Then you are about to find the mission of your life

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Life Choices

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


The life your parents expect you to lead is one thing
The life you want to lead is another
It is easy to follow the road laid out for you
Often, however, that is not the road you would take

It is easier to make choices of your life as expected
Expected by the people you see around
Courage and strong will need pulled out of you
To choose the path that you truly want

As long as you are content with your life, that is fine
But if not, it may be the time to think and choose what you want
Otherwise you will be forced to think, hence live, the way you have lived
Not the way you really want


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Miracles Happen on the Right Path

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


It is exciting to see a miracle
It is more exciting to bring about a miracle on your own
It is not impossible
It just takes some preparation
It may require steady and persevering work
With your fierce passion, however
It would not feel like work

Listen to your heart
Follow your passion wherever it leads you to
You won't feel the time anymore
You are on your mission
You are walking your path
Miracles happen when you are on the right path


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

One by One

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


When night seems endlessly long while in bed
Due to concerns arising, one after another
Instead of holding claustrophobic-feeling
Image your favorable outcome for each matter
As things constantly change either for the better or the worse

Stick to the image
Do what you believe you can do for the better
So you will see your image right infront of you

Act as such, one thing after another
Fresh morning awaits you after a long, quiet night
 

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Advancement

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


It takes time to get used to new things
Things you have not done before

If you keep doing, however, you will be more efficient at them
If you work earnestly everyday, you will be very natural in doing those things
They will become part of you
You will notice that you are doing without thinking, like breathing

When the new habits add value to your life
You are on the right track to enrich your life
This is the process of increasing life -- Advancement


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Creative Mind, Competitive Mind

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


When someone deprives you of something
Competitive mind is in action with the person
When someone adds value to your life
Creative mind is in action with the person

While competitive mind leaves win-or-lose situation
 Creative mind yields win-win outcome

While competitive mind pulls out doubt and disbelief
Creative mind gives out happiness and peace

Just try to think for all
Then your mind should be working in a creative way


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Something Extra

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

By giving something extra

Something you do not have to give

You can show your respect, your appreciation, and your love

If you give something exclusive

Something that no one else would give

You will radiate your energy through the gift

That something will have a significant meaning in your life

As you are giving more than what you take

Try to act in this way to anyone

There is no case that can be excluded

This attitude will lead you to the abundance of life

As it belongs to an advanced, wealthy man

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


When fear takes up your mind
Remind yourself of the true meaning of FEAR
- False Evidence Appearing Real -

Don't allow it to be born, grow and reside in your mind
Remind yourself that we are all united
There is no boundary between "me" and "them"
As we are one, there are no "others" that may do us harm

Believe that you are connected with others
Then, nothing will appear fearful; you will outgrow the fear


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Tomorrow

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


You never know what will happen tomorrow
Even though today was not-so-successful
It can be surprisingly successful tomorrow

You may wonder what is waiting around the corner
Something delightful or something awful
Those things can change in any second
Depending on your current thoughts, attitude, and behavior

As such, get rid of unwanted thoughts and fill your mind with what you love
Then, your day, thus your life, will be incomparable


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Focus on Now

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


When an unwanted feeling, such as doubt, resentment, isolation, or fear, arises

Allow the feeling to be there instead of resisting it

As the more concerned you are, the greater it grows in your mind

It is easier said than done

How can you forget what is eating you up?

The answer would be to focus on the current moment

Not on shameful things you have done or have not

Not on fearful things that may happen or not happen

As now is the only moment you have control over

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Past-Present-Future

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


What you have now in your life is a "pre-sent" from the past

Thoughts you have imprinted in mind, consciously or unconsciously

To be manifested in your life

Some may be pleasant and welcoming, others may be not

If you don't like what you received

Your mind may need some adjustment

Remember,

Your current thoughts attract things that will surround you in the future


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Your Riches for You

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


When you seek wealth

You don't need to hurry

As your riches are waiting out there solely for you

You don't have to compete with others

Nor steal from others

As they have their own riches to reach for

Get in the right tune with the universe

By showing gratitude in anything and everything

That is the fastest way to embrace the riches


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Thoughts Create Your World

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The world you see is only for you

As it is what you have created

The person next to you has another world for himself

Another world that he has created

You are the only one who can change your world

As you are the creator of the world

By shifting the gear of your thoughts

Your world will have totally different views

Try to find things you appreciate in your life

Then you will be in harmony with your world


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Who is the Winner?

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Who is the winner of the game of Life?

One who sincerely listens to others as well as to oneself

One who is honest to others as well as to oneself

One who pulls good out of others as well as out of oneself

One who thinks for all

One who knows what he should do for all

One who does what he should do for all

Resume

Since I stopped writing here, I tried to start writing a script but it was not smooth.  Luckily, someone left a comment on my Writing Regimen page, advising to check out Kal Bashir's website on screenwriting.  I visited the website and read some information.  What the author says there made sense to me.  Since I was intrigued with his idea that the majority of Hollywood movie and successful novels follow the same template having many different universal-stages within each story.  Since I wanted to learn more about his template, I purchased it.  Overwhelmingly, the textbook is 313-page long and currently I am busy reading, marking and digesting the concept of the template.

I am not going into the details; I just wanted to come back here to write.  I have been casually writing on another website (for the sake of "writing"), but it is not as exciting as writing here since I did not publish the journal.  Well, it may take up to a week of two before I can actually start working on a script; meanwhile, I will write everyday on this blog.

Writing Regimen

I know I am supposed to be writing a screenplay today.  Since I spent my time on preparing and reading, I decided to write this blog instead to respect my new-year resolution.

Today, I prepared a "Screenwriting tray", gathering all the screenwriting-related items such as textbook/reference books, a script-marketing book, related magazines, inspirational books, dictionary, notebook, pens, markers and post-it.  I also installed a screenwriting software that I purchased in 2009 onto this laptop.  I finished reading "The Insiders' Guide to Screenwriting: How Hollywood Evaluates Your Screenplay" which I had promised myself to read through before actually starting screenwriting.

Digging some old files, I found interesting ideas, information, and statics on writing/selling a script.  They are from year 2009, before my second pregnancy.  Now the pregnancy is behind and I have finally established a writing regimen (for the first time in my life), so I believe I am ready to start, or restart, writing a script.

The Matrix, Vol. 3

I do not have to stick to this movie for days but there is one more scene that I would like to pull up here.  This is another part of the dialogue between Neo and the Oracle, right after she foreboded Morpheus' death.

  O:  Morpheus believes in you, Neo.  And no one, not you,
        not even me, can convince him otherwise.  He believes it
        so blindly that he's going to sacrifice his life to save yours.
  N:  What?
  O:  You're going to have to make a choice.  In one hand,
        you'll have Morpheus' life... and in the other hand,
        you'll have your own.  One of you is going to die... 
        Which one... will be up to you.

This is, as Morpheus pointed out to Neo later on, "what he needed to hear" to realize himself that he is the One.

The reason I had to mention this part is that I found Morpheus using his will as I learned from Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, and Joseph Murphy.  He believes in nothing but Neo being the One to save the last tribe of human beings, and thus he is creating the very thing.  No one told him or will tell him to sacrifice his life for Neo but he will regardless because he knows that he has to keep Neo alive to save the world.  This is where my belief came across: Thoughts become things...

It is February now and I must start working on a script to meet the deadline that I set.  In accordance with my new-year resolution, I will keep writing every day but my daily assignment will not be this blog but the script for a while.  I will come back here occasionally to publish how I am doingJ
