Life is a Journey. Not a Marathon.

When I started blogging, I thought it was easier to earn cash for you could do it without spending much time.

But I have come to realize that for you to monetize your blog, you have to build a community. You have to earn their trust first. You have to crawl as hard as possible and not to walk fast. ‘Cause again, life is a journey…a continuous progess to make. And not a marathon that just because you have something to say, you can post it right away.

Blogging takes time, takes effort for it to grow. So, if you are in a situation where in, you really don’t know what’s going on in your life, might as well take a break.

I guess, this is one of the short blog posts that I will be sharing with you all. But I hope you get something from it.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. God bless!

New Year Means New Perspective!

Hello, everyone! I’m really sorry for not being active lately. My full-time job became so hectic, which made me fail to fulfill my part-time job as a blogger.

Anyhow, I want you all to know that I am not chinese, but my family have acquired some chinese tradition.

I guess, there’s nothing wrong in believing in good luck by performing some practices like wearing some charms, placing the objects from the right position or even offering the necessary food.

Whatever that is, there’s no harm in trying, isn’t it?

Before we start, I also want you to know that adapting some kind of practices from different people isn’t a problem as long as you don’t forget your own root.

Appreciating and even applying others’ practices are not sinful, just know that whatever you apply to your life will only yield good result which means good life, good treatment to people and most of all…good practices.

Are you still here with me?

The following are the things that are new to our practices. Just to be clear, we do not own whatever practices we applied. But we encourage everyone to change their perspective into a good direction, meaning good mindset for success all boils down to having good character.

Before we celebrate New Year, I helped my parent to prepare different sets of play money, which according to her will attract more earnings in the coming year. We placed it on a transparent plastic. Sealed it. Placed a ribbon on it and hang it to our window each floor.
To welcome our New Year, we are adviced to take a bath with rose petals and a gem that was soaked in water. This is new to us and I guess, it’s quite cool!
And who would ever want to miss this red envelope that has a money inside? Everyone wants to have a money, most especially when it is the beginning of the year. They believed that having cash on your pocket would mean having money all throughout the year. But of course, with hardwork and some discipline on where to place and when to use money is still the key to succeed.
Looking back on my younger years, I used to believe that New Year needs to be extravagant where in, there should be a lot of preparation to make. But as I grew older, I came to realize that New Year simply mean…changing perspective. Celebrating New Year can be simpler, less complicated, and no worries at all. You can wear whatever you feel like. Again, it is still in the mindset of people which will truly bring good luck. The practices, positioning of objects, and even the food you offered are just some of the ways to help you attract good vibe.

So, what about you? What do you think of New Year? Does it excites you? Feel free to share with us your practices each time you and your family celebrate New Year. Thank you for reading my blog post and Happy New Year to all. Hoping for more blessings and good karma to all of you.

Human Giver Syndrome

I guess, I belong to this kind of group, where people still continue to be a slave to everyone. Even if it is already hurting, you’ll do it in the hopes that people will do the same for you.

Heck, that is not true!

Not everything in this world can be reciprocated.

It’s my day off today, but it totally ruined everything! What a terrible day!

By the way,

I learned this term from Emily & Amelia Nagoski’s book “Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle.”

Thanks to them, I was able to identify the cause of my stress.

When you do all the work, yet…

People still complain. I am totally pissed off today.

How about you? How are things going?

People always give me a crap like as if I am responsible for everything.

How totally annoying!

A Star Is Born

Featured Image: From This Website

Many months ago, I watched this film and the reason why I include this on my blog is because…

It clearly shows the real struggle of being an artist.

Whenever they are on stage, it often creates an anxiety to them.

No wonder, most of them had led themselves into taking drugs and becoming more dependent on alcohols im order to cover up their depression.

It’s a kind of high and low experience ’cause you never know what will be the reaction of people.

Some may cheer for you no matter what and some may boo you for making even the slightest mistake.

When the crowd gets loud and wild, the feeling was more like taking ectasy, a kind of drug where you’ll feel like you’ve already reached the pinnacle of your life.

But when the crowd gets disappointed, be ready enough what to be thrown at you. Abruptly, you’ll feel as if it was the worst nightmare you’ve ever had.

Thus, the film also portrays how challenging and depressing it is to be an artist.

Not to mention, you must compete with the younger generations as well. Otherwise, you’ll be left behind.

No matter how you adore your craft, you still need to explore and expose yourself to other things for you to improve and not to get stale in the entertainment industry.

Business is business and so is your talent, which is why, it gets even more harder to keep that job for it changes rapidly.

What’s trending right now, may no longer be impactful in the future. For this reason, you are expected to try someting else; something new and fresh.

That’s how crucial their job is…where fame doesn’t last long, not even money.

So, how about you? What are you planning to do with your life to make it worthwhile?

Please comment below.

Gracias!
