Yesterday I received a call from my training partner, Watt, to attend a meeting at the PWTC down in Kuala Lumpur with Datuk Maznah and Dato' Sheik regarding MAPS National Speakers Convention 2009.
While traveling down, Watt shared his experience with me since he took up the Metaphysics course with the University of Metaphysics.
In the first chapter of the course, it was mentioned that one should make oneself the embodiment of love. It is only when one possess love and is love, can one gives love. How profound. The power of love was the basis of his experience that he shared with me.
When Watt, who is 68 years old now, decided to enroll for the Metaphysics course which will lead to a Doctorate in Metaphysics, everyone in his family from his wife to his sons and daughters voiced their objection to it. They were more concern for him as they anticipated that the course may be too taxing on an old man. Instead, they felt that he should be slowing down and enjoy his life and take things easier. Of course, Watt felt very sad that he did not get anyone of their support. Nevertheless, he proceeded with the course.
Fortunately for him, his son-in-law and daughter-in-law were supportive and encouraged him to do what he loves. At the same time they shared with him that his sons and daughters disagreed with him taking the course out of love for him.
He then reflected on the lesson espoused in the Metaphysics course on love and found himself starting to appreciate the thoughts that his wife, sons and daughters had for him. Instead of feeling sad, he now feels happy that all in his family were caring and concerned for him. What is unusual is that he would usually interpret such disagreement negatively no matter what others may advise him. After commencement on his Metaphysics course, he found himself starting to accept the otherside of the actions.
Well, when one think and act with love, own it and be it, one will be able to look at things more positively. Every action can be looked at at least from two angles, the positive or the negative. We have choice which way we interpret it.
this brings me to the famous saying as follow - "We cannot avoid problems or mishaps from happening to us, but, we can definitely decide how we take them and manage them. Within every problem, there are opportunities." With love, these become better.
Cheers and enjoy your lives!
