What ‘Feng Shui’ lesson can we learn from this story of my good friend who works in the Education sector?

(1) No matter which stage you are in life, if you want more (money/ time/love/fame/energy), you would have to change what you are doing at present. If she continued teaching us SAP accounting system, she would continue to do that until the day she retired. And her pay will only be equivalent to the pay of teaching SAP accounting software. Therefore, she was right because she enrolled to complete her studies. The day she went to pay for the school fees, she sent a message to the Cosmos that she was ready for change.

(2) She follows the ‘Feng Shui Suggestions’ published in the Chinese newspapers. And she saw the results: She got the raise and the promotion! Obviously Feng Shui (no matter how small the practice) works for her. We all know it is very hard to get promoted when there is no paper qualifications, and no relevant experience. Feng Shui works! If I were her, I would have pursued Feng Shui as a real hobby.

(3) Instead of getting on with it, for some reason, she ‘chose’ to stagnate. Good Feng Shui is about believing in your future, and believing that you can do it!  She should have counted her blessings, and chose to embrace the new challenges that came with the job promotion! Work life is very, very hard – accept it! Take on the challenges head-on! Why look back and lament why, what if, why not?

(4) Of course it did not help that she had that useless foul-mouth fella for a husband. If he could not hold a job, at least be a supportive person who encourages her. So be careful who you hang around with. Even your spouse can ruin you and your networking opportunities. What if it was not me that they pissed off? What if I was her Mentor who could bring her the biggest opportunities in her life? Please – consider your family, consider your spouse, consider your friends when you want to behave in the way you want to behave! Good Feng Shui is about positivity! Watch what you say, watch what you say to others, watch what people say around you, and finally, watch what people say to you.

(5) Be clever! Your brain is your most powerful ‘weapon’ in your practice of Feng Shui. She knew that her husband did not embrace Feng Shui, so she should have practiced it without his presence, and if that is not possible, she should have cooked up another excuse to get things done. For example: “I saw this lamp that I really love, I think I will be really happy seeing my lamp after a hard day’s work. Do you think we can get the electrician in to install the lamp?” (See? She can get that bright lamp without even mentioning Feng Shui!)

(6) If you have a problem (no matter what problem), and you are stuck in your problem for 10 years…. the biggest problem is not the problem itself, but you!!! You need to see outside the problem, and extract yourself out of it!!! It is your problem, so you get out of it by yourself. No one is coming to save you from your own problem! It has been 10 years → ‘confirm’ ,’double confirm’, nobody is coming to save you! Getting stuck is the biggest Feng Shui problem of all times. It is equivalent to stagnant chi, clutter and, shutting out any sort of opportunities!
