Believe, and you shall Receive with Lotus on Water

My dreams of being an officer were dashed when I found out that I had to be medically downgraded.  I was second-in-command in my army uniformed group during secondary school days.  Most of my friends from my advanced leadership course eventually became officers, except me.

 

I was very disappointed with myself and my father looked down upon me because he was a tank commander and projected his expectations onto me to be the same or better than him.  Little did I know, I was with a gang of miracle makers, the army clerks.

We were a bunch of misfits, but we believed that we were alright, or simply temporary misplaced.  Mr A. had epilepsy in the past.   He did his army job well and was not any medication.  We believed that he was okay.  He is now climbing more mountains than I was and doing his Masters in Chemical Engineering.  Mr D. was deemed psychologically unfit.  We believed he just needed some talking to and attention.  He read up on how is he behaving like this and believed he could walked out of this without medication.  He went on to mentor school children by tutoring them in Maths & Science.  He went on to take his degree at Singapore Management University and now enjoys rock-climbing and playing soccer.

We just had a major celebration of bountiful harvests yesterday.  At Lotus On Water, you will be with the crowd that always celebrate harvests.  Among our group, we had a client that believed in his Lotus treasures that eventually, his health improved at such an accelerating pace that he is now able to put more focus on his wealth-generating skill of chauffeuring people, and managed to subdue his bad temper to rekindle the cold relationship with his wife.  Isn’t this a Lotus victory worth celebrating many times over?

What I learnt is:  Other’s are entitled to their opinions about us, but we Need to Believe that we can achieve what our mind can conceive.  With this strong Believe, combined with our Lotus treasures, Victory will be swift and big.  Celebrations frequent and grand.

Water your Lotus seeds of Greatness with Believe

During World War II, the Germans introduced an unbreakable code to transmit messages coded by the famous Enigma machine which ranged from gossips to military instructions on ship attacks.  As I watched the scene from The Imitation Game, I saw Alan Turing, a computer scientist trying to crack the Enigma code.  He was different from the rest of the team who used traditional cryptographic techniques which were unsuccessful when the Germans changed codes at midnight.

One day, while his commanding officer was trying to shut him down, his colleagues stepped in for him saying “Trust me when I tell you there is no one who would rather say this less than I do, but… he’s right.  Alan is right.”  They believed in Alan based on the logic that their current methods were unsuccessful and Alan is the last chance that could possibly break the code and win the war.  After a brief stroke of genius, Alan altered the programming slightly and did manage to break the code.

Alan had yet to crack the Enigma code, and his colleagues believed in him.  This led him to believe in himself that he could crack the code.   Believing in people before they have proven themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their full potential.  This goes for your Lotus treasures too.

 

Lotus Exquisite Gallery: where clients believed in betterment

 

We stepped into the Lotus Gallery ourselves, selected our own Lotus treasures, host them with our efforts and resources.  We should believe that they have the ability to improve our lives for the better.  When we have yet to receive, we develop faith and belief in the Lotus treasures with our abilities and attitude that we will eventually receive.  When we have received, we feel gratitude for the Lotus treasures and for our actions that led to our harvests.  After we received, we look forward to a higher step helped by our Lotus treasures and our onward-looking attitude for growth.

 

6% of the world (350 million people) believed in Lord Buddha's principles, had faith in Him.
