My blog writing is simple and a loving approach for me to spend time with myself and to deepen my self-awareness. It is also my time to reflect with gratitude what the day has given me.
I am learning to value each new day as it comes and holding my mind with constant self-awareness. Each moment leads to another and each day leads to the next. Before we realise it, an entire year has gone by and we have just entered a New Year 2021. When a moment is lived without awareness, it can be a dull moment.
So it is important to start each day right with the right frame of mind. Be grateful that another day is before us to learn and gain. Yesterday is beyond reach, do not let unhappiness of yesterday to flow into today’s existence. The beginning of the day is most important, welcome it.
Feel happy and grateful for a brand new day, we have the opportunity to make improvements for a happier future and to make amendments for the past. Make a conscious effort to be aware of every act.
Reflect With Gratitude

A day is a day filled with activities, whether it is great or mundane; good or bad; pleasant or unpleasant; or both, be happy that you are fully self-aware of these activities. Spend time in the evening each day to reflect with gratitude and realise all activities create opportunities for us to make tomorrow better.
Happy days are not necessary those when things go smoothly or when there are some good news. If so, then there will be many unhappy days as life is not perfect and there will always be ups and downs. It is normal to have bad days and be sad at times.
What is more important is to accept it, be grateful for these life lessons, and make an effort to understand the cause and fight it with a brand new day.
So good or bad, to live a happy life, train yourself to be grateful. This will give you the strength and courage to look forward to the next day and deal with it.
Act With Gratitude
A difficult year has just gone by and we must be ready to work more energetically to be more self-aware and be grateful for the good and the bad.
I am learning to see the ‘good’ in days that may be difficult, and to learn the lessons of helping myself to deal with difficulties and challenges with fortitude and resilience. Although the journey is not an easy one, I am encouraged by some progress and improvements in my life. For all that I learned from dealing with a difficult day, I can only say I often felt a sense of deep gratitude that I persevered.
As we welcome the New Year 2021, my wish for all is to practise living 2021 with gratitude and experience how gratitude can open doors for you to experience a happier and better life.
Happy and Blessed 2021 New Year !

Life is a relentless process of attrition.. Sometimes we control the speed of it and most times we don’t. So being grateful for what we have today and have experienced in yesterday’s years is definitely important.
Thank you for the reminders above.. I am grateful to have met someone like you and to be able to see both sides of you ie as a fearless business leader and now as a thought leader!!
Thank you so much Yam, you are very kind ❤️

What better way to start the year than by remembering everyone who helped us in one way or the other and expressing our Gratitude to them. The challenge however is that it runs into hundreds of thousands if not Millions. Surprised? Just think of one small activity like having our breakfast. We may just think of the farmer who grew the food, the shopkeeper who sold it to us, the driver who brought the goods to the shop etc. However when one starts going to the next level and the next – manufacturer of the truck, number of raw materials for the truck and so on, it can be endless.
That is the reason why it is described as brotherhood of man and fatherhood of God. We are so interconnected and interdependent that it is impossible to live without one another. When we realise this, we will develop an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE automatically and be grateful to all living and non-living things.
Thank you very much Sai for your very inspiring views, much appreciated !
