First Morning Walk at West Coast - Blue Macaw story

This is our first Saturday in year 2023 as I don't have any training session, I spent my Saturday morning having quality time with my beloved family.

I have promised to bring our youngest son to West Coast since last week, thus we went to West Coast Park in the morning. The kids were playing by themselves while we strolled around the park.

When we were about to pick up the kids, we saw a man with a pair of blue macaw. The feathers are so beautiful and the master showered them with a spray of water.

Curious, I went closer and started asking him some questions about his bird pet.

He explained that blue macaw was a proud bird, his natural character is they are proud as a flock and they want master's full attention. This is how they survive. Once the master ignore them for something else, they will get very stress and slowly die.

The important thing is how we manage this macaw so they are not over us and human is still their master.

The only way is "IGNORE" them when they try to get attention for eg biting, copy the sound and words etc. If we react, they will know our weaknesses and will push their way so that we relented and have no power over them

If they do a good job, the master needs to "REWARD" them so that they know that's how they behave.

When this master told us about this, I can relate since it's similar like the kids. They will try to push their limit by throwing tantrum and getting attention from us. Once they know that they are able to get it when they throw tantrum, they will use the same weapon so that we have no more power over them.

Simple and yet powerful reminder.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
