Focus on Strength, know your weakness

Some BaZi charts are good, some are bad. Good or bad, it is not the end. What is important is what you do about it in your life.

When you find your BaZi chart is good, with the luck pillar supporting you throughout, you must maximise your good fortune that is bestowed upon you. Don't squandered it all away.

When you find your BaZi chart not so ideal, get to know your weaknesses, concentrate on building your strength and focus on your positive.

Timothy Ferriss, author of "The 4-Hour Workweek" says that it is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor.....Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.

This way, your weaknesses will be taken cared of....

Kitchen In NorthWest

Very often we hear that if the kitchen is located on NorthWest sector of a house or apartment, it has bad Feng Shui and it is detrimental especially to the Father or the male head of the family.

The reason is because the "Flying Star" theory using the Later Heaven Ba Gua arrangement, the NorthWest sector represents the Father, Qian Gua. This Gua or sector is represented as Metal. Since the kitchen is "Fire", probably because it is the place that has a lot of fire used to cook food for the family, the "Fire" will melt the Metal, i.e. the father.

Suppose if this theory is true, all families living in condominiums with the kitchen located on the NorthWest shall be fatherless, unhealthy fathers and whatever reasons you can think of. Does this make sense?

Bring me a property with a kitchen on the NorthWest sector, I can prove to you that there is nothing to worry about and the family can still be healthy and prosperous. The question is how?

It's all about balance

In Chinese metaphysics, everything is about balance. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is also talking about balance. The TCM practitioner will try to identify what is excessive or lacking and he will provide something to balance, to counter the abundance or the lack of it.

We hear the famous dualism of Yin and Yang. Many people intepret it as the opposites such as hot and cold, male and female, tall and short, etc, etc. But, just how many of us really know what it really means? Is it really 'opposite'?

One of the first thing we must know is that both must exists together at the same time. If they are indeed opposite, how can they be helping each other? One cannot live without the other. It is only when they are together, that you will have balance. When it is in balance, you have peace and harmony.

If you have too much of either a Yin or a Yang, this is the beginning of trouble.

When you do Feng Shui, even before you start taking measurements, the balance of Yin and Yang of the place must be evaluated first. If they are not balanced, any measurements taken and implemented may at best be only 50% effective.

As you drive around town, try to observe why certain shops are doing well and why the others are not. Why certain stalls have brisk business only at night and hardly any customers during the day? Why some business are busy 24-hours? The answers are all there.

Action

Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
