Over the Horizon

As we scan over the horizon, we saw the sun’s ray as it pierces the orangy sky. Each one of us feel the warmth as we walk through the morning air with our head held high. We strike out each day to grasp opportunities that awaits those who dare. But soon evening came over the horizon as opportunities slips by but who cares.

So too our life as it passes over the horizon as years flow by. Look around us and we do see people who don’t bade goodbye. American Idol legend William Hung had scanned his horizon and did his best against Ricky Martin. And see how he had grown as he passes the test.

So too did Britain-Got-Talent sweet six-year old Connie Talbot chooses to sing “Over the Rainbow“, which makes her a celebrity with her singing “I will always Love You” (video below) in a show. Better still when she sang with Whitney in another show

We may not be like William or Connie but opportunities do arise. So let’s scan over the horizon for the next sunrise.

Try to be Mindful

"Try to be mindful, and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool. All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things. You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha." - Ajahn Chah

5 Buddhist Precepts

1 abstain from harming living beings | 2 abstain from taking things not freely given. | 3 abstain from sexual misconduct. | 4 abstain from false speech. | 5 abstain from intoxicating drinks and drugs causing heedlessness.

My Daily Motivation

"Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."
