10 days to the International Happiness Day: The Shanshine way!

Shanshine On!  Start Having Action Now, Start Having Infinite New 3nergy!

Go for the funnies!  Catch a funny movie, get together with loved ones for a humourous storytelling or joke sharing session, or give standup comedy a go at the Takeout Comedy Club Singapore, eM Studio, Gallery Hotel, 8pm tonight! (^.^)

Laughter is the best medicine!  This action is aligned with Playfulness and humour, one of the strengths in VIA.

How did yesterday’s actions go for me?

Looking UP elevated my optimism levels to greater heights!  Moreover, it prompted me to take concrete and specific actions which were very helpful; shifting mindsets from negative to positive, or from positive to a higher level of optimism.  What I found particularly helpful was the problems that was pervading my mind cease to become problems.  Problems became issues that I could find solutions to.  What was astonishing was not only could I find solutions QUICKLY and EASILY, these solutions were QUALITY!  I love this!  Aside, I am going to catch the movie “UP” when it elevates into cinemas here!

Up – one little word with two alphabets.  Indeed, powerful things come in little packages.

Words of wisdom: Great moments and celebrations

Life is full of great moments and joyful celebrations. Only if you choose to. – Yip Pei Shan

I love looking at the good things in my life.  There are definitely some, if not a lot of nasty stuff that happens, but I choose to let them go.  Only by letting them go past me, or through me, can I experience the great moments that life has to offer.

Treasure each lovely moment, and celebrate!

Shan’s MOMENTs > Free Stories-Alive! series: MOMENTs in time (Most Touching Story!)

What is Shan’s MOMENTs?

Due to several requests, I will oblige by restating the popular Shan’s MOMENTs’ acronym.  This is tracked back to Free Stories-Alive! series: MOMENTs in time (Most Touching Story!).

What does MOMENT mean to me?

M: Be the MASTER of your life.

O: Be OPEN to the full spectrum of emotions, thoughts and experiences you feel.

M: Make every MOMENT count.

E: ENJOY each emotion, thought and experience.

N: Just do it NOW!

T: TELL one person one reason for loving them each day.

I was sharing with Alex yesterday, money can be earned back, but time cannot be earned back.  Once the MOMENT in time is gone, it is gone.  Savour each MOMENT, Master your life, be Open, Enjoy, just do it NOW, Tell someone one reason you love them.

I am listening to Gregorian’s Once In A Lifetime, wind rustling in my hair, experiencing complete contentment and peace in MY MOMENT.  What are you doing in your MOMENT NOW?

Words of wisdom: Pursuit over achievement

Achievement is good, pursuit is greater – Yip Pei Shan

This nugget of wisdom was born from a day out with Xin at Sentosa. Photographing the sun, the wind, the skies, nature and people around us, we had a delightful conversation over achievement and pursuit.

Achieving is good, however, pursuit is greater. [Read more →]
