Allowing dream to come alive

Every moment is a gift, when we stay open to what is appearing now.

Three Wishes

It was a warm sunny day. You were enjoying a quiet walk by the beach. Sounds of waves gently rolling on the shore and breeze blowing against your face... The beach was relatively deserted. You sat on a rock and looked out towards the sea, experiencing the vast openness, tranquility and calmness. It was peaceful..



Just then you caught sight of what seems to be a tiny colourful bottle, tugged at the corner, in between the rocks. Out of curiosity, you dug into the sand, pulling it out. You gently brushed away the sand and examined the bottle. It was old, painted in several colours, red, orange, green, yellow, blue, indigo, purple, colours of the rainbow. You unscrewed the cap of the bottle, wondering what did it contain..

To your disappointment, there seems to be nothing within, except for a piece of paper. The paper was wet, dirty and almost torn. You can hardly see what was written on it, faintly it read "If you are granted three wishes, what do you want to have?"

So what is your response to this question..? Wealth, health, love, career, etc? Did your answers come to you easily? Did you hesitate in answering the question? Why? Lost as in what exactly matters to you now? Everyday is the same, you are basically drifting day by day, lost in a rat race, going round and round in circle. Imagine how it will help if you have clarity in what you want for yourself and the people you love. How will your life be?


Or were you very clear exactly what is important to you and what you want in your life? Climbing the corporate ladder. You enjoyed the adrenalin of accepting challenges at work, meeting targets and objectives set, recognition and monetary rewards that comes with it. Or was it that you would want someone to love, trust and treasure and whom love and cherish you as well? Then what is stopping you? Why aren't you moving..?

If life is as simple as meeting a genie and have wishes being granted, it would be perfect. Let’s get back to reality. It is our lives, your life. Get started and moving. Every single moment is precious. You will never go back in time again. Create what you want for yourself and the people you love now.. Right this moment. If at first you don’t’ succeed work, use other methods. There will be rainbows in our live, beautiful and memorizing, before that you need to encounter sun and rain.

  2. Perfectly sums up what I presented to the crowd tonight, and your words trickled with beauty more sublime than any of mine spoken. Thank you for these beautiful words. More than that, thank you for being there, supporting me tonight. The event wouldn't have been the same without you.
