The Beauty of Happiness

More fragrance than any great perfume

Breath the moment of passion
Feeling enough of being
A peaceful and joyous sense
Lovely and lovable
Life is reaching its goals

Choice and Decision

Do you believe that we can choose how we want our life to be parallelly with other desires like happiness, sweet love and money? I think the answer is yes as long as we don’t give up easily or stop working for them.

How many times in your life that you have to make a tough decision, that changes your life career, change your perspective and change your capacity? I have made so far three choices when I had to choose a university to continue my education after high school graduation , when I had to choose between a non profit work and profit work sector, and what should I build for my capacity to respond to a next challenge of career in life.

Making a choice and decision will also depend on your personal situation, your life goal and the country that you live and you will live. I heard many people share that they will have to compromise in one thing in order to get another one.  Whatever it is, we should try to analyse the pros and cons of our choice and decision, be frank with what we want and the long effects that it may create, and how that choice and decision make you happy.

A turning point in life is so important, it’s best to remember why you take that point or not. As it will help you to confirm your decision when something might be not the way you want it.

We always have a choice and we shouldn’t give up easily. Happiness needs effort.

One of my inspiration

Beautiful beaches and seas, white sand, gentle waving, lively waterfall, fresh air and green mountains are one of the major sources of my inspiration.

Very Unreal and Unreachable Dream But….

Recently something flashed my mind. When it did, I asked myself what should I do with this dream. I wish I could be a prime minister, , a very ambitious, unreal and unreachable dream but nothing is wrong of having this type of dream. At least, I can dream of something, still I just classify it into a category that will not bother me into unhappiness for not getting it.

Feeling this dream convinces me that with the highest power to have would allow me to exercise more justice for the majority poor. With this power to battle hopeless and frustration from our perspectives.

Hope and Journey towards it

I often question myself what are sources of hope, how to maintain it to a level that gives at least enough motivation for a person to enjoy and feel happy about living – not just breathing as time goes on.

Living experience and meeting different people has lead me to understand that there are different needs, wants, energies in people’s lives. Some are able to determine a future that s/he wants, set action and work towards it. Some are seemingly lost and living only mainly to react to what society has asked for.

For me, hope is one among many key motivations that make me feel life is meaningful. Without hope, an encouraging proportion in life is missing. There are two types of hope that I classify: hope that makes me feel happy with my daily life, and hope to get a goal that I want to reach after a certain period of time and action to get that goal. In order to reach the second hope, I need full level of the first hope. Without the first hope, I might be able to move on with life normally but it’s like a responsibility of life to myself while a joy part is missing.

When hope is obtaining at some points, it levels off – whether lost or gain. Lost of hope comes from making a wrong decision in a tempered situation or hurting someone unintentionally and not being able to compensate it at a later stage after realizing the mistakes. Furthermore, it also causes from not achieving a set goal – but here is a bit difference because an analysis about action plan towards goal has to check. Lost of hope is also from loosing good connection with close/good friends one by one – silence in friendship communication.

Gaining hope is when things that have wanted in life reach their points, good enough to generate another path of life at a next level. Some parts of hope can also gain through career success. Stable emotion does help to maintain hope level not to drop.

I am still looking for power of hope, how to gain it once lost, how to maintain it at a satisfactory level and even how to increase it.

Hope is one part of a happiness in life.

I love my work

I am very happy to be able to work for the Women Empowerment for Social Change and E-learning programs of the Open Institute.

Hearing different stories of women who have been abused, mistreated by their communities, families and relatives and society, how can they live with happiness? Is it a living just breathing until they die? Or is it just a living under oppression or living to please others what they think you should do or what you should do to make them happy but not about finding your true-self, happiness and freedom?

A short writing as I have to continue my work, .

Is writing a leisure?

Since a very long time ago, I’ve thought of writing. I want to write something about Khmer women struggling in the journey of life, how strong is the pressure on them, what challenges they face and how can they over come them. Do we really have all energy to just facing the challenging and keep fighting against them hoping that one day there will be a better change not only for ourselves but also for the whole society.

One of the things that I want to do is finally taking off, writing and writing. Writing is an art and I’ll keep doing it .

From a bit cold weather in Sydney, a very multinational city I’ve ever experience. Feeling just like home and even better when surrounding things are organized in a good structure.
