Today I saw sardines as am walking to the gym.
It’s slightly wet Friday morning with some drizzles.
My OOTD include, fav green short short and sunglasses both from H&M , white cropped T shirt with slight coffee stain and 60 euros red hot Zara ‘ jacket to complete the look.
With sunglasses on, in my mind I was fab.
The sardines were jammed inside the morning LUAS.
Some leaning on the glass doors looking outside.
Looking at me.
All in mostly black or dark blue jackets/tops likely heading to work as it seems.
Gloomy , tensed faces , bitch faces hardly a single smile seen .
More like silently screaming " I don't wanna go to work"
Some might be cursing at me too , thank god i didn’t have cuppa on my hand .
F*ckin nihaoma!
I wouldn’t be surprised.
How to be positive and productive at work if our day started negative?
Toxic workplace with endless datelines and workloads.
Did we rest /sleep at all?
Did we get to eat?
We often asked to serve to deliver again and again .
Eventually our well beings suffer.
Busy people wrongly considered as better people.
Productivity is often measured by output.
When we no longer needed or useful we simply tossed out or replaced.
The nice genuinely hard working destroyed and consumed by the system until nothing left.
Sadly, we were made to believe we didn’t do enough.
The world eat the goods and forget their names.
Kindness is sadly a liability in modern society.
I was once sardine too but maybe more like the struggling anchovy for 40 years.
A quite a long time to be one.
Again, I said it many times, thanks to god for setting me free from that life / system.
Thanks for giving me the courage to take on a different path .
Hard imagining going to work on the summer Friday morning, all wet in heavily crowded public transport only to come to endless works and more than often toxic or lazy colleagues.
I took private bus for 15 years ,the service was average but timing was getting more and more unreliable due to heavy traffic .
Sometimes taking the bus ride with rude drivers and rude fellow passengers.
The ignorance one spoke loudly on the phone or listening to music or sport on the loud speaker when thats probably the only time the others had hoped to have some rest.
Nobody need to know about your life or hear you stories.
If I late by 5 minutes, the bus will surely gone and I might get a glimpse of its back.
Another hour outside waiting for the next bus to come .
Outside which can be very cold in winter or raining because there was no designated roofed bus stop nearby.
I feel very sorry for sardines
I hope they soon be freed
I hope they want to be freed
I hope they remember
We are under the illusion we that need to work hard to live.
It should really be rest hard and work smart.
I worked very hard for many years and just barely surviving.
Cant afford to buy house as huge chunk of my salary goes to rent and paying bills.
I don’t have much money but am living and am much happier now.
Are you happy ?
Are you content with your life?
I believe jobs are redundant and created for and to keep us mainly the middle class in the system.
Born, going to school, getting a job, getting married , retire and die.
Life is surely more than just that.
I believe in the power of manifestation.
The fascinating knowledge never been taught or rather hidden from us.
All of have the power to manifest.
Yes our hidden privilege.
Doing it right and manifesting are the art that we need to learn and perfect.
I have both succeeded and failed to manifest many times.
Am still learning about it to these days .
And I still believe in the power of manifestation as the privilege granted to all of us.
Remember the story , I escaped 3 rostered on calls in March-April this year.
My 3 day calls were surprisingly covered by my colleagues without any swaps done.
I simply wished I didn’t have to do those calls.
I still came early to the handover room at 0800 to collect the on call bleep because I wasn't sure if my manifestation would succeed but yes it was and not just one but three times as my colleagues took the bleep instead.
That was manifestations delivered.
Remember the String theory , the wave particles duality and Shordinger’ cat theory?
All around us is quantum field , at sub atomic level the string exists in different vibrational state.
They collapse into infinite forms/ reality with awareness/ consciousness.
Am learning about the art of manifestation.
Am no expert in this so it’s no surprise my affirmations failed as well.
I learnt that,coherent is very important in the sense that our thoughts must aligned with our actions.
If we incoherent the universe/ quantum field will read it as mixed signals and chances is we will fail.
Its not just what we say we want,
Is your actions aligned with your thoughts?
What did you say to yourself?
Did you doubt yourself?
Your subconscious mind is way more powerful than the conscious mind and that’s the key to manifestation .
Am not sure how to make sure the subconscious mind align with one’ wishes.
I have some knowledge but I have not mastered the art of manifestation .
It’s the art of wanting something but didn’t appear as desperate or forceful .
Am not sure how.
But i am firm believer whatever meant for us will come to us sooner or later.
To trust the process and letting go the control
It is also believed gratitude helps to manifest.
So be thankful to everything .
Again we are the god the universe experiencing life.
Therefore, life should be way easier and it is.
Not killing ourselves working to 60-70 year of age just to pay bills and barely make a living.
Go on do your own reading and make your own call.
Lets start remembering and manifesting.
