“We have all we need to be successful. We just need to ask the right questions to access our resources.” A paraphrase from Tony Robins’ teaching. I think it gives the key to unlock my hidden values.

I have never bought clothes for children before, not until today. My niece, oh well, hubby’s niece to be exact, is 8 years old. So I headed out to the department store when my mother in law told me that she would go visit our little niece. I was really amused at how small the clothes are for mini-humans. Then, here comes the technical part: how do you convert the sizes: is medium size 8, size 10, or size 12? The sales clerk was really very helpful. Jeans or a pair of light brown capri pants with cut flowers on them? Dark purple turtle neck or the black dress with some pink color? How can I choose? He saw me buried in the pile of children’s clothes, not knowing what to do. I was surprised that he would join me and help me to choose. I was even more amazed that he knew so much about clothing. “Jeans, because it is versatile, you can match it with a white shirt or anything.” “Ah, why turtle neck? Do you think that the place she lives in is colder?” In just a couple of minutes, he helped me reduce my pile of clothes to half of it. Somehow, I feel that he was genuinely interested in my little shopping project. That always makes shopping experience very special.
My life has changed tremendously after marriage. Not feeling that lonely any more and more financially stable, I do not feel that much need for spiritual inquiry any more. However, at the back of my mind, I am wondering whether this laziness will end up biting my tail.
I thought of my late teacher at the temple today. She died of cancer a couple of years ago. Before she left, she shared a lot about her acceptance of death. She asked us to think about how we are going to spend out lives, because one day we would need to face death as well. Yes, how?
