Finding something new

When I feel happy, I know I love myself. Everything seems so brighter, and makes me laugh on everything. Certainly, a beautiful music adds to the feeling of serenity as well. But, how can I feel the happiness?

When you eat your favorite chocolate cake, it will probably give you a smile. It’s simple, but a happiness, right? If you can bake your favorite chocolate cake and it tastes so good, do you think you are going to have a big smile?

For some reason, I thought baking is difficult, so I didn’t bother to try it myself until now. I just needed to find out what it’s like. Why not? I am usually sitting in the area that is only a few feet away from kitchen anyways, so I decided to put my laziness on the side, and went into the kitchen. Preparation was fun and simple as I just followed the recipe.The most exciting time was when the cake is in the oven for 30 min. I anxiously waited, and honestly, I was so inpatient and had to check the oven in every few mins. I felt my satisfaction, confident, and relieve when the cake turned out to be good as it was my first chocolate cake. And, I thought “I can bake!”

I discovered something new about myself, and most importantly it was fun experience.

My mind has been so preoccupied dealing with the stress, and I forgot about what I can do, like to do, or want to do.  It’s pretty awesome to feel “I can do it too! And I like it!”  


Sometimes we forget the fact that happiness or just the things give us a simple smile is in front of us. I am planning to try on new things that catch my attentions. Have you had one of those happy discoveries of yourself? I’d like to know!

What is Harmony?

Recently, we hear the word “Harmony” very often.   But what exactly is “Harmony” anyways?

Harmony is used in Music often, and when you look up “Harmony” in Wikipedia, it says “Harmonization usually sounds pleasant to the ear when there is a balance between the consonant and dissonant sounds. In other words, that occurs when there is a balance between "tense" and "relaxed" moments.”

Okay, I kind of understand it, but not exactly. There are a lot of books, articles, and information about “Mind, Body, Spirit,” and yes, I am looking for a harmony in those areas because my understanding of Harmony is the balance of Mind, Body, and Spirit. I have been learning and have a little bit knowledge about it, but I couldn’t quite digest the concept yet because I wasn’t living in harmony, nor trying to live with it. I was trying to understand the concept, but I was not applying them to my daily life. 

All I did was going to work, come home, and watch some TV, repeatedly. I was just too tired to do anything. My mind was very busy thinking about what to do at my job even when I was at home. I rarely did any exercise, had any hobbies, or cooked any meals. My life was devoted to my job. I didn’t have life besides my job, and I just didn’t know who I am anymore. My mind was occupied, and I forgot to take care of my body and my heart.

My spirit was crying for help.

I asked myself, what do I like? What’s my hobby? What is my favorite thing to do? I couldn’t answer any of them. Whom I thought I was seemed so empty all of the sudden. There were always some excuses such as school, work, or family, and I didn’t look into myself. But you know what, I always had choices. I just didn’t notice them. Now, it’s time for me to find out. I need to find out who I am underneath this skin.  If I can find who I am, then maybe it could lead me to the harmony of Life.
