Why Did Heaven Let You Down?

Fight on! So excuse me, is the decimal point after the first number? 😁

You may not know this about me. About 8 years ago, I was so broke that I only have S$0.83 in my bank accounts. Because my previous business had cash flow problems, one night at 1am, I sent a SMS to my mum to borrow money from her. It was my first ever time doing that as a married adult. I sent the text message because I did not dare to call.

At that time, I was the only graduate in my entire clan. And every CNY, the elders would ask why I did not get a stable job. In their eyes, I was like that good-for-nothing married woman where the husband was toiling to make ends meet and me? Don’t know do what. I could not tell them how I ended up being so pathetic because even I myself didn’t know why.

I only felt Heaven was so unfair to me.

When I was a kid, my parents ran into difficulties managing their business. I sure did not expect myself to have the same destiny as them after I grew up.

As a little girl, I often answered calls from angry creditors at home. As an adult, I often received calls from the bank, snapping at my heels to pay up. So till now, even though I no longer owe the bank, I still do not like answering phone calls.

This is why I do not have any mobile number for you to contact me.

That day, a Malaysian client exclaimed, “Teacher, your fee is so expensive! You earn a lot of money!”

I replied calmly, “This is the fruit of my cultivation.”

Having reaped so many bitter fruits for the large part of my life, surely it should be my turn to enjoy some rewards. Sister, if you are happy for me, this virtuous thought will also earn you good fortune!

Nobody becomes a failure for no good reason.

You ask me how to rise from this lowest point in your life. Let me ask you this. Are you able to face your weaknesses squarely?

We fail because we are floundered by our weaknesses.

When you can squash your pride, and hear what you think are jarring words, that marks the beginning of your second Spring in life.

Our weaknesses are our blind spots, and the reason for our karmic transgressions and reduction in blessedness.

If you are a true businessman, you should be very shrewd in your calculations.

When I tell you the 20 weaknesses you have, you can choose to fly into a tantrum, grapple with the truth, bear grudges and complain about me to your neighbours and your ancestors of 18 generations.

You can also decisively transform that 20 weaknesses into your 20 brand new strengths!

Dear smart businessman, do your math and decide which makes a more profitable deal in the long run.

And then think over this, did Heaven let you down or did you let yourself down by turning your heart away from the obvious?

If I do not think you can change, if I do not think you still have a chance at success, why would I risk my reputation and my life to tell you the naked truth? You think it’s fun to be the b*tch? 😂

We can be our greatest benefactor and we also can be our greatest enemy. It’s all within that one thought.

May the amount of merits and good fortune you cultivate be as long as your IC number! What the heck! Let’s have it even longer than the Great Wall of China! Be a blessed person of endless good!
