I was tidying my stack of written materials and was pleasantly surprised to find an article written on August 21, 1987. It was on a hotel stationery of Park Hotel in Hong Kong! It was nostalgic because it took me back 20 years when I was only 30 years old! It must have been during one of my business trips.
The title was "Celebration of Life!"
This morning will be a wonderful day! I thank God that I am alive and well. I'm very grateful for all the wonderful blessings that have been given to me.
I appreciate very much my loving and wonderful family and I consider myself a most fortunate man with the treasures of loving father, mother, brother, sisters and great friends.
I'm fully aware of life's precious gifts, the air I breathe, the food, the water and my beautiful body that keeps me alive.
I'm the greatest miracle and knowing this I treat my family, friends and anybody with the same respect. Today I will do my best and give more than what is expected of me for I realized that only when we give do we receive, yet I will give with no expectation of rewards for the joy of giving is reward enough and I know through the wonderful law of karma I will have enough to give others.
I celebrate life every second and every minute like the beating of my heart for I know life can be fleeting like the flash of a lightning and I will always treasure and appreciate every minute that I have.
My eyes see beauty and wonders of the world and my eyes also see ugliness and disorders of the world yet I will not let the ulginess and disorders blind me from the beauty and wonders and I realized my ability to see both is my duty to contribute and do my part in restoring beauty and order in my own little ways.
There is ugliness and disorder because men make it so and if we all co-operate and being the greatest miracle created by God, all things are possible. There are things beyond my understanding and I do not seek all the answers for I know that if we know everything then we cease to exist.
I know I'm only human and have been given the greatest power of love and the ability to believe, choose and pray.
I will let love fill me completely and with all my senses I will celebrate life and invite all to join me for so few know of this celebration which is every minute and not some long awaiting festival or weekend party.
When I celebrate life I will smile many times and see the beauty and wonders of life constantly. My eyes will shine with joy and delight. I will have a positive mental attitude and whenever I breathe I'm so much aware of the life forces and enjoy the simple pleasure of breathing and knowing I'm alive and well. When I drink and eat I will be very thankful for these gifts of life that keep me alive.
When I shake somebody's hand or embrace somebody I love I will treasure the precious moment of two hearts touching one another and they will feel the love in my touch and if they don't have the chance to touch me, they will see the love in my eyes and they will know me when we celebrate life together!
