一個月前，我醒來時看到了一條非常意外的 Facebook 消息。
“謝謝你發給我姐姐的留言……我是雅子的妹妹，我叫聰子。我的姐姐於7月5日在(日本名古屋的)醫院裏去世了，是因病去世的。我不懂英語，就用網絡翻譯軟件來寫。你是我姐姐的朋友嗎?”

在這個星球的曆史上，我們就像微不足道的火花閃現過。
我們的地球母親早在我們人類出現之前就已經存在了。我們走後，她還會在這裏。
大海每天都會漲潮。潮起潮落。
太陽每天都會升起。哪怕有些日子我們看不到它，它總在那裏。
中國有句古話:你赤裸裸地來到這個世界，你也將赤條條地離開。
你在這兩個一無所有的時刻之間，擁有的一切，就是你的生活。
而你如何生活，完全是你的選擇。
如果我們明白我們無論如何都會死，而這完全不在我們的控製之中，我們倒不如享受它，對吧？
當我準備好離開這個世界時，最重要的是留下的回憶。就像雅子留給我和這個世界的回憶一樣。
從陌生人到姐妹，雅子和我一起旅行了整整一年：非洲、斐濟、加拿大、夏威夷。作為白金合夥人，我們向安東尼·羅賓學習。
那是我覺醒之旅的開始，願意敞開心扉，讓別人進入我的內心。

盡管在我們白金會員的旅行之後，遠隔重洋，但我深切地知道這樣的靈魂存在對我而言是莫大的安慰。
八年前，雅子居住在東京，是當時唯一的一位來自日本的白金合夥人。那次旅行一共有105位白金合夥人。
她不願讓語言成為她的障礙，總是全力以赴。
雅子是一名牙醫，但她真正熱愛的是療愈。當我閉上眼睛時，我仍能感覺到純淨的天使能量通過她的雙手注入我的頂輪。
當時沒有人知道她被診斷患有乳腺癌，她保持沉默。人們被她甜美的微笑、柔和美麗能量所吸引。
有一次雅子告訴我，家鄉的人有時不理解她；而同頻相吸，她在安東尼·羅賓的白金家族中找到了歸宿。和我一樣，她也被吸引，因為生活的秘訣在於給予。
她的一生就是這樣的例子。

想起她，就回憶起我們一起去斐濟的美好旅行。安東尼·羅賓教導我們商業大師2級，要求我們組建團隊，用我們正在學習的原理為斐濟人籌集資金。
在我們團隊組建的第一天，有七個人。令人驚訝的是，第二天早上，當選的團隊負責人和其他三人沒有出席清晨的會議。
沒有等待，雅子、我和另一個兄弟 Praveen 決定全心全意地玩遊戲，從創建我們的口號“Loloma，我們給予愛！”開始。
在采訪了一些當地人後，發現村裏的孩子經常冒著傾盆大雨去上學，這在該地區很常見。
最初的目標是籌款500美元，為全村的孩子們買雨衣。四天之後，我們籌集了超過8000美元!!
通常你可以通過如何玩遊戲來判斷他/她的情況。
“你投入的越多，得到的就越多。”
雅子全力以赴。她自願擔任會計，記錄我們收集到的所有捐款。她不知疲倦地把所有的現金——美元、加元、澳元、英鎊、歐元、法郎——整理得井井有條，這讓我很感動。這次旅行中，我們有來自世界各地的兄弟姐妹。
我們請求酒店的工作人員帶我們去最近的小鎮購物，大約一小時車程。隻有兩家小商店出售學習用品。我們花了不到2,000美元買下了所有的雨衣、書包和學習用品。
至於剩下的 6,000 多美元，我們設立了一個基金會，計劃用於每年參加安東尼·羅賓在美國舉行的全球青年領導力項目。一年後，我收到了第一個被選中的男孩的暖心報告。就像他的父親和他父親的父親一樣，這個 16 歲的孩子從未離開過他住的島上的小村莊。但現在世界正在變化。憑借他學到的技能和結交的朋友，他以一個更強大的領導者的身份回來帶領他的人民。
八個月前，我建立了雅典娜姐妹會在Facebook上的群組“成為光BE THE LIGHT”，並邀請雅子加入，她立刻熱情地回複了我。
我們一起回憶了斐濟人民如何觸動了我們的心。斐濟人的物質財富很少，但我們遇到的每個人臉上都洋溢著燦爛的笑容。“Bula Bula”是他們打招呼的方式。他們會停下手頭的工作，向路過的汽車揮手致意，滿心歡喜和自豪地大喊“Bula Bula”。
回到2020年11月，我們仍處於疫情大流行之中。我知道，世界永遠不會再回到疫情前的“正常狀態”。我們從未生活在如此與世隔絕的環境中。盡管大流行之前，許多人生活在精神隔離之中。
如果我們願意，每個人可以非常緊密地聯係在一起。就像雅子、我和斐濟人一樣，盡管從未謀麵，但我們是誌趣相投的靈魂。
05.
記憶是如何產生的呢？
當我們充滿真實的情緒活在當下時，就會形成記憶。
隻有那些時刻才是真正活過的，不是嗎?
這些記憶將組成我真正生活的曆程:痛苦的時刻、感激的時刻、有趣的時刻、心跳加速的時刻、害羞的時刻、浪漫的時刻、激情的時刻、淘氣的時刻、挑戰極限的時刻、恐懼的時刻、冒險的時刻……這個清單可以一直列下去。
愛你，美麗的姐姐。無論你現在在哪裏，雅子，“Bula Bula”獻給你！
傳遞給大家滿滿的愛，
偉麗
A month ago, I woke up to a Facebook message that was so unexpected.
“Thank you for your message to my sister … I am Masako's sister. My name is Satoko. My sister died on July 5th. My sister died in the hospital (in Nagoya Japan). She died of illness. I do not speak English. I use Web Translate to write. Are you a friend of my sister?”
...
We are just a tiny insignificant spark of existence in the history of this planet.
Our mother earth has been here way before we have arrived as a human species. And she will still be here, way after we are gone.
The ocean rises every day. The tide goes up and down.
The sun always comes out. Even if we can’t see it on some days. It is always there.
There is an old Chinese saying: You came naked to this world and you will leave naked.
Whatever you have in between these two naked moments, is your life.
And how you live it, is entirely your CHOICE.
If we understand that we are going to die anyway and that is completely out of our control, we might as well enjoy it, right?
When I'm ready to leave this earth, what really matters are the memories that I leave behind. Just like the memories that Masoko left to me and the world.
...
From strangers to sisters, Masako and I spent a whole year traveling together: Africa, Fiji, Canada, Hawaii. We learned from Tony Robbins as platinum partners. That was at the beginning of my awakening journey when I started to open up and let others enter my heart.
After our platinum year, despite being oceans apart, the deep knowing of such a soul's existence has been a great comfort to me.
Masako lived in Tokyo, the only platinum partner from Japan back then, eight years ago. There were 105 platinum partners on the trip.
Never allowing language barriers to stop her, she was always playing full out.
Masako worked as a dentist, but her true passion was healing. When I close my eyes, I can still feel the pure angelic energy that poured through her hands onto my crown chakra.
No one knew that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer back then. She kept it very quiet. People were attracted to her for her sweet smile and soft beautiful energy.
Once Masako told me that people back home sometimes didn’t understand her. Energy seeks its own kind and she found a home in the Tony Robbins’ platinum family. Like myself, she was drawn to it; the secret of living is giving.
And she lived to be an example of that.
Thinking about her brought back beautiful memories of our Fiji trip together. Tony was teaching us Business Mastery Level 2 and we were asked to form teams to raise funds for the Fijian locals using the principles that we were learning.
On the first day of our team formation, there were seven people in our team. Surprisingly, the next morning, the elected team leader and three others didn’t show up to the early morning meeting.
Not waiting around, Masako, myself, and another plat brother, Praveen, decided to play the game with full commitment, starting with creating our slogan “Loloma, we give love!”
After interviewing some locals, we discovered that village kids often go to school in the pouring rain, which is very common in the region.
The initial goal was to raise $500 to buy raincoats for the children in the entire village. Four days later, we raised over $8,000!!!
Often you can tell how a person is by how he/she plays the game. The more you put in, the more you get out of it.
Masako played full out. She volunteered to be the accountant to keep track of all the donations we collected. I was touched by how she worked tirelessly to keep all the cash organized -- US dollars, Canadian dollars, Australia dollars, English pounds, euros, francs, etc. We had brothers and sisters from around the world on this trip.
We petitioned for our hotel staff to take us shopping in the closest town about an hour away. There were only two small stores that carried school supplies. We bought all the raincoats, school backpacks, supplies for less than $2,000.
As for the remaining $6,000+, a fund was set up for an annual attendance to Tony Robbins’s Global Youth Leadership program in the USA. A year later, I received a heartwarming report of the first boy who was elected to go. Just like his father and his father’s father, this 16-year-old had never left his tiny village on the island. But now the world is changing. With the skills that he learned and friends that he made, he came back as a stronger leader to lead his people.
Eight months ago, I set up Athena Sisterhood’s Facebook group “BE THE LIGHT” and invited Masako to join and she responded warmly right away.
Together, we recalled how people in Fiji had touched our hearts. Fijians had very little material possessions, but everyone we encountered had a big smile on their face. “Bula Bula” is how they say hello. They would stop what they were doing in the field and wave to cars passing by and shouting “Bula Bula” with so much joy and pride.
Fast-forward to November 2020, we are still in the shadow of a pandemic. I understand that our world will never go back to the pre-pandemic “normal” again. Never before have we lived in such physical separation. But even before the pandemic, many people were living in separation spiritually.
Yet every one of us can be so connected if we choose to. Just like Masako, me, and the Fijians, even though we never met before, it felt as though we were kindred souls.
How is a memory created?
Memories are formed when we are living in the present moment with intense emotions.
Only those moments are truly lived, are they not?
These memories would be the moments where I have truly lived: painful moments, grateful moments, funny moments, fast heart-beating moments, shy moments, romantic moments, passionate moments, naughty moments, boundary-testing moments, scary moments, risky moments… the list can go on and on.
On my last breath, I wish to smile and recall many of these moments that made this earthly trip worthwhile, like what I'm doing now while celebrating Masako’s beautiful Fijian moments.
Love you, beautiful sister. No matter where you are now Masako, Bula Bula to you.
Love,
WeiLi
