Understanding our Heart

" Guard our heart with all diligent as out of it flows the issues of life"

There goes a saying, when there's a will there's a way. We understand the strength of a strong will and somehow with such single minded focus, many people succeed in life with such a will power, powered by the brain.

But do you know?

That our heart produces electrical signals as well? Our heartbeats are triggered by the electrical signals. They are just like our brains, they produces electrical signals for relationship internally in our body.

From an article copied and pasted 

HEART FACTS

Research by the Institute for HeartMath in California4 has shown that the heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the human body:

o The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain.

o The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 5000 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain

o The electromagnetic energy of the heart not only envelops every cell of the human body, but also extends out in all directions in the space around us

Source: HeartMath Institute is available on www.heartmath.org.

So if the heart produces electrical signals 5000X stronger than our brain. For a fact, our heart  has the ability to think for itself, just not the way the brain visualize. 

The memory of our heart is captured through emotions not via pictures or images. It captures the incident happened and the impact of emotion. 

Example: Our mind might not remember what actually happened in pre-school that Teacher Ah-BeBe  embarrassed  you in front of the whole class. But as a kid you are hurt. Our heart captured that memory. 20 years down the road, that memory is still kept in our heart.

Therefore, sometimes when we reason or tried to console a friend who fell out of love. No matter how hard or how reasonable we may sound, we will never be able to get through.

 Heart wins, it is 5000x Stronger than the brain!

Our heart is very vulnerable and we need to guard it at all diligent. If we have a broken heart, an angry heart, a resentful, bitter heart, jealous or whatever you can think of.  Our heart has the power to influence the brain and cause a life filled of sadness, resent and build an environment for you to blame on. 

Blame it on work. Family. Friends. Life. The cat on the street. 

Our mind has the power to visualize and create the kind of environment we want. If everyday, we are living in complains and resentment, blaming and faulting. 

Our mind will find fault in every single thing to go in line with our heart and our eyes will only see what the broken heart want our eyes to see.

This is how people go into a spiral. 

Sometimes we come across angry people who curse and swear, unkind in words or full of complains and blame.  Remember, these are just secondary emotions. Don't blame them nor be angry at them. As it is because somewhere in their heart is yet to be fixed. And their mind will pick on every single thing to proof that it is right to feel the way it is and reject anyone who doesn't come into agreement with them.

Take a breather, close your eyes, life is still as beautiful as it is.  The sky hasn't gotten any lower the day you decided to feel sad. The day of happiness in your life is approaching.

A Famous quote from Dr. Robi Songerager : Bitterness is like drinking poison and hoping someone else to die. 

Give yourself a break, you can choose a better life.

Identity

Identity (1)

Everyone has an unique identity. Just take a look at our finger prints, no one in the world has identical hand prints. Everyone is different. Since we are different by default  and we are best being ourselves; why are we always in war with ourselves somewhat somehow? 

The moment such thoughts of I hate myself, I dislike being me, I don't like this such part of me and that; reason being, as much as we expect from others, we expect of ourselves too. We expect ourselves to do this, and when we fail to deliver, we get disappointed.  Why is this happening? Sorry to say in a not at all sympathize tone. We allow it by letting such incident, remarks, situations, or even past events to repeatedly churn out the same reaction out of us. We are responsible when we allow repetitive emotions accumulates. Especially the negatives ones. 

You may not even be aware. But Be aware now. Be drivers of our own emotions. 

Emotional habits is the toughest to correct. Because each time when such stress arise, most people get into the 'victimized' identity. It takes a lot of undo-ing thinking and  relearning thought processes to produce a good emotional habit. Tough work but can be done.   

Try: React to it differently each time a crisis arise, force yourself to feel different , act different each time no matter how shitty you feel or how it can hurt. U'll figure a way out. Logically, if this way doesn't work to keep your spirits up, there is no point continuing right? To many of us, because and every time a certain crisis arise we fall back into a zone to cause us to doubt even more. Get out of that zone when you fairly know, come-on, its not helping at all. Please try something else, don't waste time. Too much time spend being upset. 

When the tension of our identity crisis starts to accumulate. Our identity got stolen bit by bit when we start to have thoughts thinking; How I wish to be so and so. I wish I can just die, I hate myself.

They come like thieves in the middle of night, we are unaware but it is robbing our life away without us noticing. 

Start making the consensus today, be aware, of how you react to emotional waves that is affecting you today. Try a different reaction. No harm to try or make mistake over it, because; Welcome to the world with endless testings. There's just too many things that will and will definitely get on your nerves, my nerves everyday. 

.Keep trying and we will all get there.

Because there is no such things as failure in my life when I never stop trying.

I made up my mind a few years ago that I will always keep going no matter how I will to feel.

P.S Everyday, I am practicing habits that churn good emotions. No matter how shitty situations or things can get, or what I feel, it's ok. Feelings (Good or bad) come and go quickly for me, its not due to my character or personality that lousy things don't stay long or take root in me, Its a long tough road of practice along these years ever since I made my choice and stick with it. 

Because freedom in life is to be in control of our own emotions. Reap joy, enjoy happiness, to love and be loved. These are some of the things I practice daily. Be aware, make a change, create a habit, reap a destiny.

Compare

In the world which is constantly telling us who is better and who is not, shaping who we are into the voices of others. As a teacher, a mentor to the children in which I am really honored to be, in the eyes of parents and students; 

I often tell the parents to not compare their children with others, in between siblings and even identical twin. Every single individual is special and unique. 

I am teaching today and was sadden of how my 5 year old is has to keep in a constant challenge to his identical twins who somehow happens to be more musically incline.

As a 5 year old boy, he bug me what and how is his brother doing during lesson. What songs did he play? and so on, and on. This kept me thinking. Lesson for him today is simple. No music concepts, I just taught him to be himself, doesn't matter what little brother is playing today, he is himself and he ought to be given full attention to be who he is. 

I explained to the parents of what I will be teaching him and lesser of the music exam syllabus to build up a healthy self image for their child. Most parents will accept my suggestions even when theres nothing to do with music. I guess they can feel the love I have for the child. Music is to train determination, well being, and a healthy growth in child's development. In all general in some course to shape a good character out of the child.

Kids are confined to praises and encouragements. To gain the recognition of their parents and other adults, they often get into an attention seeking realm to gain their self images through praises. 

Sometimes, they share things not because they really want to, but often to seek a good boy self image instead.

Personally I do not find this healthy. If a child is being brought up to gain their self image according to human praises, its gotta be a tough time before they realizes the world is full of critics. If your self image is based on human praises and well sayings, it means it will be based on critics and skeptics. If praise and applause can gain your confident, it means critics will have the equal power to pull your self image downwards.

Ponder about it.

God is Love

John 1:12


No one has ever seen God; If we love one another, God abides in us and His love is perfected in us.


John 1:16

So we have come to and to to believe the love that God has for us. God is love and whoever abides in love abides in God.


John 1:18


There is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear.

Love

Love always exist

One day, you meet true love yourself,

encounter true love,

Love will win

Jesus is love,

Jesus will win

Who But You?

Too little, too late

His time has come and gone

Is that what they say when I walk by?

I've got a little more grey?

My steps are slow and long

And the promises You've made fades in the moonlight

But I know

when I see a star

You see the milky way

I see one man counting sand

But You see generations

Who But You?

Who but You would ever choose

to dream Your dream in me?

Tell me who, but You, would dare me to?

Believe what I cant see 

You'd think by now

It wouldn't bother me

The hush from the crowd when I walk by

and you think somehow I'd let my heart believe

Its time to let go of lullabies

I see a star

You see a galaxy

There's just one hope

Just one way

These arms will not stay empty

Call me crazy 

Call me a fool

You alone can do the things You promised to

You are Yaweh

I am just a man

I am counting the tiny grains of sand

Placing every promise in Your hand

Great and mighty Yaweh,

My God

My Father

I believe

I believe in You.

The keeper of the universe I trust.

Let your love show

Let Your Love Show

Posted by Victoria Osteen on 6/19/2012

I personally love this message posted by Victoria, enjoy the message of love.

Taken from www.joelosteen.com

I heard about a woman who said to her husband one day, "Honey, do you really love me?"

He looked at her strangely and said, "Why would you ask me that? I told you that I loved you the day I married you thirty-five years ago. If it ever changes, I'll let you know."

We've probably all encountered people like that, but the truth is that the phrase "I love you" can never be heard enough in our homes. We can't take for granted that the people we love automatically know it. Maybe you weren't raised in an expressive environment, but why don't you be the one to start a new tradition? You can affect your family line for generations to come by speaking words of love. What better legacy to leave than a legacy of love, kindness and encouragement.

I was discussing the power of encouragement with one of my friends one afternoon, and she said something I thought was right on. She said, "When I brag on my husband, I can see a change in him. He rises to the occasion and strives to go to new levels. But when I nag at him or say nothing at all, he's more complacent and doesn't have the passion and enthusiasm to accomplish what is in his heart."

That's true for all of us. Nagging only makes things worse, but encouraging words will put people on their feet and bring out the best in them. We should always look for opportunities to speak words of blessing over the people around us. When your spouse gets a promotion at work, take time to say, "I knew you could do it! You're amazing!" When your child comes home with good grades, even if they are less than you had hoped, don't be too busy to celebrate. Stop and say, "I am so proud of you. Way to go!" When your mother fixes Sunday dinner for the whole family, tell her, "Mom, I know that's a lot of work, but your hospitality means so much." When your coworker loses fifteen pounds, don't be jealous; congratulate her with a compliment. Let words of life flow freely from your lips. As you sow seeds of love and blessing, always remember that you are displaying the glory of God. He is love, and when we show love, we are showing Him. Let your words and actions say "I love you" because that's how we show the world that we are followers of His.

"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:35, NIV).

The help advertisement

Photo By LiminaMike

In parts of our lives, we do put out help wanted ads looking for assistance with the dirty work that comes from our messy hearts.

The advert from our heart may sounds like this

Wanted

Someone to bring hope,

encouragement, and love to a fallen human being.

Hours varies,

with no guarantee of compensation

The content differ from each of us.

Some may need help with depression, while some might need assistance recovering from a broken relationship.

Perhaps someone else needs the support in getting freedom through an addiction.

Whatever it may be, we all long for someone to answer to the "help calls" written by our hearts.

Sometimes someone seems to apply.

A romantic partner comes into our lives, and we believe all of our troubles will go away.

Or

a new job promises a new beginning to our hope for future.

Another glass of whiskey that chases away the sorrows for a while.

But in the end, we realized that whatever we thought would give us help has actually contributed to the hurt.

Fortunately, there is someone who does promise to answer the help wanted adverts we post from our heart. 

One, who sees our need and responds.

When I was in the adolescences years of brokenness just 3 years back,

I was longing for a touch, some comfort and a place where I can rest my soul.

Pride held me away from people I newly know,

my newly adopted spiritual family.

Its hard for me to open up to tell them what had happened to me.

The only person I could speak to was God at that time.

I poured out my heart to Him, 

I told Him please please show me you love me.

Certainly I was helped,

the coming 2 weeks,

amazingly I received more than 10 hugs each day from people I know and people I do not know.

They just wanted to hug me, encourage me.

each time they hugged me as early as 9am in the morning will fill my eyes with tears.

I started to encounter God's love and helped of encouragements in a tangible way.

None of these people who hugged me know what I was going through,

weird enough they hugged and wept with me.

People who hugged me ranges from students waiting for A levels results to granny kind of age. 

I was truly comforted and I know God hears my prayers.

Jesus hugged me with the arms of many many others who has no idea of my cry to God.

I was helped at the very point.

Jesus is still providing such help daily when you ask for Him at your most desperate point.

He helped me, and he will help you too no matter who you are.

Love and vows

What makes a love vow different from a marriage certificate?

A vow is different from a contract,

a contract has its terms and conditions while a vow doesn't have them.

A contract is null once a party breached the clauses and conditions to it,

but a vow supersedes all.

Vows don't just come by out of nothing,

it is birth out of love.

Some said: True love has got no happy ending but I say, True love has got no ending,

true love can go on and on even when one party left for eternal.

I love through a vow made out of love.

Conditions doesn't make this vow null,

its a vow that hold me through my life which is call true love.
