Choose: waiting for heaven and earth, or let heaven and earth wait on you?

A sad human reality: "I shall wait."

I shall wait till I get my promotion, when I get a breakthrough. I will definitely do it after I strike the first prize tonight, I will do it. Let me wait for 2...3 months, I will do it later. Ok, give me 3 years, 3 years, I will do it after 3 years...

Many people assume they can wait for something to happen. Wait for...the stack of cash to drop from the sky...for someone who dresses like the God of Wealth to come knocking...and in the meanwhile, there is nothing much to do. Just wait.

And some wait for a lifetime.

There is a word for this. It spells p-r-o-c-r-a-s-t-i-n-a-t-i-o-n. Procrastination.

Honestly, I have no idea what are you waiting for.

Reality check. Let's take a page of harsh harsh fact from Dao De Jing (《道德经》): "Heaven and earth are indifferent, all creatures are considered sacrificial straw dogs (天地不仁，以万物为刍狗)."

If you are waiting and waiting for your luck to come, because you assume the heavens or someone random is going to tuck a handsome cheque into your pocket. And you look around, you see people around you getting luckier, wealthier, happier and moving on in life, but not you, then you ask, why? Why am I not favored by the heavens? Why is fate so cruel to me? And the heavens and earths remain silent.

Here's the question to ask: why should the heavens and earths favor you, when you are not doing anything, but just waiting?

Lotus on Water does not believe in waiting. What's the point of being passive? One second of waiting is one explosive opportunity missed, and it might never come back again. I learned somewhere that there are 7 major chances in one's life. 2 chances are missed when we are too young, another 2 chances are missed when we are too old. 3 major chances left. And this particular explosive opportunity might just be the mega one you need. But you missed your breakthrough, because you preferred to just wait.

Let's flip this whole scenario around with a more constructive question: we want the heavens and earths to favor us with great fortunes, harvests and breakthroughs, what have you and I done to be one of the privileged to accept the blessings of the heavens and earth?

Do something. Be active. Don't wait for heavens and earths to take care of you. Harvest the power of the heavens and earths actively. What we want to do is to be sincere in showing the heavens and earths our efforts, our faith and our respect. We do our part first by having the best earthly resources with us, then the heavens shall put in their share. If you want to ride on the gushing tides of good fortune, the impeccable harvests rained by the heavenly time, produce your ticket.

Better still, make it a ticket to the first class cabin.

Lotus on Water Exquisite Jadeite Gallery. Always first class.

You will find that while we are in the business of luck, we never leave things to chance. Leaving something as important as luck to chance is purely gambling your life away. Wear your Lotus jadeite first, open the doors to a path of luck and prosperity, then walk on it.

I remember Mr S. He first stepped into the Lotus gallery in 2007. Then, there were Lotus jadeite that were about 900SGD. He found it "expensive" and left. Somehow he came back in 2012, 5 years later. Life hasn't change much for him, obviously. And while the whole world around you is improving, staying put at where you are simply means getting left behind. He saw the Lotus jadeite of the same design, but it was already priced at a few thousands of SGD. He was shocked. Batches after batches of Lotus jadeite have been bought by blessed clients since 2007. And with every new batch that comes along, the supply of top grade and authentic firsthand jadeite simply dwindles. 

Mr S knew he couldn't wait anymore. He has suffered a tremendous loss of time and opportunities, and he is not getting any younger. What more is that by not buying his Lotus jadeite earlier, he has to pay a higher price for it. But he knew he to take action now. Mr S knew he has to do something solid immediately to harness the good qi of the heavens and earths. He knew he has to equip himself with the best earthly treasure, then heavens shall put in their share.

In that month right after Mr S wore his first Lotus jadeite, he won a considerable amount from 4D. He was happy. We were happy for him. When you do something to reach out for the good energies of the universe, they often stretch out their hand as well. This is the simple cause and effect, karma - you do something, you get something. 

The only regrettable thing was, if Mr S had started in 2007, his blessings would not just be a 4D winning. It would have accumulated by now to something greater than our imaginations put together.

Don't wait for the heavens and earths. Let the heavens and earths wait on you.
