They say that when before we come to this world, we orchestrate a grand plan with the angels regarding what we are really meant to be doing here. But with the veil of ignorance that wraps this dimension, we forget who we really are.
For quite some time, I chose not to believe in this idea. I worked with some jobs that (I knew very well) did not fit me. I would usually wound up being miserable, sabotaging myself and my ventures. I also took for granted opportunities and let them pass up. Deep inside, I knew something was always missing. I almost succumbed to the idea that when one gets older, life gets too predictable and miserable.
Time came when I had to question what is it I am all about? Who am I? I didn't know me anymore.
The asking led to depression. Every night, I would sit beside my two daughters who never had any clue what in the world I was up to, and then I would cry for no apparent reason. Sometimes, I would have suicidal thoughts. I wondered what was missing when I was always up and about motivating myself but why is there something empty inside, something that needs to be filled. One day, I decided to finally go abroad to seek help, whatever it is. I was thinking of risking loans and giving up everything. My sister Joefel told me to get hold of myself and avoid making hasty decisions. She suggested that I join Ike Pono (a 6-day self-growth seminar facilitated by a Chinese-Hawaiian coach Bruce Conching) instead before deciding about whatever I had in mind. Later I found out that the word Ike Pono means 'to be absolutely clear without a doubt who you really are.'
On the night before the seminar, I was undecided until 9 o'clock in the morning the next day. For some reasons, I felt that strong tug in my gut. I cannot seem to be still. My sister called up and told me that if I really felt the need, then I should just jump in. Finally I let go of my ego and went to the seminar. The journey was perhaps the most healing seminar I have joined to date. The first two days was all about self-rediscovery, the second was about goal setting and coming to terms with yourself, and finally on the last couple of days, you go about doing the well-deserved visioning. I took Ike Pono on August 2013, until now, my visions unfolded and I was led to people and journeys that I have never imagined for myself.
My relationships with my loved ones flourished; I got introduced to the Law of Least Effort and now I live by it, my spirituality led me to many encounters; I notice abundance in every aspect of my life; but most importantly, I remembered who I really am. When you know who you really are, you learn to live each day in the most meaningful way without too much effort. I am forever grateful to Ike Pono and the people behind it. Blessings and abundance to those who spread love and respect - the pivot point of Ike Pono.
