Waking up dealing with the never-ending problems is a path that I have picked and enjoy doing. I would rather have the autonomy in deciding the result that I can work towards and make it happen. It is not easy and there will be mistakes along the way but it is through this learning which motivates me to continue. Problem only exists to be solved, and every decision made leads to a better result. There are so much to learn, and so many things that I can do. It is something beautiful that I want to share with my closed ones, and we all have the same future to look forward to.
Chinese New Year has just passed and my culture brings me to go to temples to thank for all the goodness that I have been blessed with for the past year, and pray for a better living in the coming year. Sweet thing this year is that my family traveled to Thailand for a getaway, There is this Phra Phrom, four-faced Buddha for disciple to worship. The four sides are:
Front view: Business and wealth
Left view: Wisdom
Back view: Health
Right view: Relationship and interpersonal
People make prayers around the statue and enlightened me how these are some of the basic wishes that we all have and yearn for. It was a chilling trip as we stayed in the Bloom, a garden up in the hilly areas, with flowery gardens and a grapevine just next door. There is just too much transfer time from one point to another that I felt like we were on the bus 80% of the trip. I would have to go to only Bangkok next time if I am to go and make it a shopping trip.
Coming back to my health, I just went to a clinic for some vaccine injections. Ta-da, I'm overweight again. Stress adds pounds to me. Perhaps I don't have a right mechanism to deal with stress. It's like an invisible killer and I don't know that I am getting burned out day-in day-out. There are so many challenges that I feel like I think I am handling well but my body is telling me otherwise. It is just a simple body-check routine before the injection but I know that I have to put my health as my priority before anything else. I try to make a list for things I need to do all the time. It helps, but I have a list in the back of my mind for things like writing a travel blog, photo-book all my travels, connecting with my old peers, have some reading habits... the list goes on and I have to make time for these.
Sometimes this not-so-important things are the in fact important as these are what makes me happy. I mean, I am all for living a happy life and doing things you want and work towards goals. I realised that I haven't sat down and stop thinking about non-work related issues. Everything just have links to ways or ideas of improving the business. I believe entrepreneurship is the way I working towards, but I need to work on my mindset that my life should not only be about this. Closure? There has to be a way. I mean I have to overcome the inside me that want to get everything done good, fast and efficient. It takes a village.
My wish for the year:
Health
Happiness
Love
Success ^^
