All
of us, I am sure, wish for a life of abundance, health and wealth,
relationships and what have you. There are those who are born with a silver
spoon and blessed with good fortune throughout their lives. Luck seems to go
with them wherever they go, well at least most of the times. Others are not so
lucky and have to put up with challenges after challenges in their embattled
lives and problems keep cropping up from time to time. To them, life is nothing
but suffering.
To
quote the revered and his holiness, the Dalai Lama, “Life is suffering. Our
purpose in life is to seek happiness”.
What
if there is a choice that we can make to turn things around? What if the
unpleasant events and circumstances that we faced in the drudgery of living can
be mitigated, lessened or dissolved with efforts on our part? Is hardship and
adversity seems insurmountable? Can destiny be altered in our favor?
Yes!
The
answer to all the above may shock you but just thing for a minute – Why is it
that God made us the way we are? Each of us is unique and yet we are all the
same – nobody’s perfect! Do we wait for divine intervention or some miracles to
happen before we hope to see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
Not
if we can help it!
According
to Chinese Astrology or BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny), we are given a
set of four pillars at birth to be our foundation and it is up to us to
build upon them. Our destiny code is ingrained in these pillars but the
power
to steer the hands of destiny is within our control albeit measured.
Herein
unfolds the 3 secrets to strengthen our pillars.
Get Empowered!
We empower ourselves by
knowing our:-
- strengths and
weaknesses
- affinity and detachment
- characteristics
and eccentricities
Our pillars of destiny contain the hidden factors that govern our success in life and how the above are played out depends on how we make use of these factors:-
- Self
- Output
- Wealth
- Influence
- Resource
Energized Yourself!
We
are all affected by our living environment. The place we live, the location our
house is sited, the landscape in our vicinity and the internal space within our
home are channels where energy or life force known as “Qi” flow. This energy
gives life to all living things and is dispersed by the wind and gathers at the
boundary of water. The Chinese called it “Feng Shui” which simply means wind
and water.
This
energy wax and wane through time and is inclined towards certain compass
direction and location. If properly tapped, it gives prosperity and harmony to
the inhabitants of a property in terms of health, wealth and relationships. The
secret is in identifying, locating, containing and tapping into this energy
using the Chinese compass known as the “Luo Pan”.
Be Proactive!
"Action may not always bring
happiness, but there is no happiness without action."
This is the quote by the British
Statesman and literary figure, Benjamin Disraeli. How true! Everything that happened to
us is a result of the actions taken by us or by others. If we want something in
life, we have to take action, without it nothing happen. We can sit around and
bemoan the sad state of affairs we are in or we can be proactive and start
making positive changes to our lives. The choice is ours to take.
If destiny hands us a raw deal, we can
make lemonade out of a lemon!!!
