The Peach Blossom Blooms In a Single Thought

I have acne skin as a teenager, and somewhere along the way, my skin turned sensitive.

Not many skincare brands, drugstore or over-the-counter, work for me, and Innisfree, to my delight, is one that works

So just now, I dropped by Innisfree to return my empty bottles (in my Stories)

I then browsed the shelves, looking for the Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask. It was not there. I turned to ask the enthusiastic salesgirl beside me.

She went off to ask the more senior staff, who was behind the cashier counter.

No luck, it was out of stock and they had no idea when it would be back.

I ended up buying the Green Tea Sleeping Mask, having read great reviews online.

As the cashier passed me my purchase, she told me to wait for she wished to give me some samples to try, the de-facto practice of many Korean skincare and makeup brands.

When I left the store with the samples in hand, it dawned on me what the cashier had done.

I bought a sleeping mask.

She gave me two other sleeping mask varieties.

That’s smart – giving what the customer uses, and not some product that that customer may not use.

Not every girl plaster a million products on her face.

One of the samples was the Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask!

That’s heartwarming – to remember that the customer was looking for.

I could either be keen in that mask, or a repeat buyer. But the key is, not only did she remember my inquiry, she gave me a sample that would not make this trip a wasted one.

This small act of consideration from the sales person is what we called Giving, in Buddhism.

The more thought you put in your giving, the more good fortune you are planting for yourself. When you give with happiness, then the love and respect you receive in future will be vast and boundless.

Many people mistook that the word Giving is to be used on outsiders. They are unaware that the people around us also need our giving to nourish their hearts.

There are many such examples in my clients:

The husband feels that his wife is too occupied with the children. She does not make time to listen to him or support his dream.

The wife rants about her husband having a change of heart and does not care for her, or love the family as before.

The father finds fault with the son’s constant gaming, and scolds him for not being hardworking.

The son thinks the father does not care about what he likes, and always forces him to do things that he does not like.

The mother says her daughter is rude to her, while the daughter complains that her mother has too many rules.

The boss sees that his employees are not doing their best, while the employees sees their boss as a stingy man.

All these problems arise from two persons being calculative in giving, or unwilling to give. Given the principle of “Birds of the same feather flock together”, you inevitably attract a person who is similar to yourself.

In the confines of our home, we do need Peach Blossom Luck, so that there will be love and harmony among our family.

Beyond our home, Peach Blossom Luck is definitely a must, for that will help us to get things done easier.

The amount of our Peach Blossom Luck is dependant on how much love you give out. The attitude you have when giving will decide the size of your good fortune.

There are plenty of opportunities for us to give, so there is no such thing as no chance to give.

Small acts of giving starts from home.

As you step out of your home door, there are even more giving opportunities surrounding you, no matter which degree of direction you turn.

It is up to you to grasp the opportunity. Like the Innisfree sales person who sees hundreds of people weekly, do your job well, and do it very well every day. That is massive giving, which will sow many seeds of favourable Peach Blossom Luck.

So there is no such thing as to why your Destiny isn’t great. It was you who did not make the smart decision to do the right thing.

Try to let go of your resistance, and go embrace a more loving you, a more loving way of living. When you can bring happiness to more people, you will discover the limitless potential in your life and fall in love with yourself all over again. That will be one of the greatest love and respect and Peach Blossom Luck you can give yourself.
