Taking a Leap of Faith in Life

I'm happy for a friend of mine who has found her happiness and hopefully, this guy will give her undivided attention and shower her with as much love and appreciation because she truly deserves it. Another friend of mine just had her baby and while it is going to be a new journey for her, hopefully it will be for the better and last I heard, she is truly happy now.

 Everyone is nervous and yet excited when they enter a new phase in life. Me too. I was nervous when I started my online shop and I was also nervous when I joined a new class when I started my part-time studies. I'm not the type who get along well with people very easily although they appreciate getting to know me later on which I, in turn, appreciate as well. 

But it's inevitable at times. Otherwise you will be stuck and not progressing along in life. Sometimes, you don't expect things to happen but they did and you've got no choice but to embrace them fully and to be more responsible. It is not easy being married, having a baby and being an online shop owner. There are challenges but it's a matter of taking it slowly, one step at a time so you'll avoid feeling overwhelmed, getting stressed out and make unpleasant decisions.

If you're entering a new phase in life because you choose to take a leap of faith and see where life leads you to, congrats on your new journey :) As long as we open our hearts to possibilities, those daunting tasks may not be as bad as they seem. Like my friend said that well, she's scared and nervous but I know where she's coming from. There are thoughts of where the money is going to come from because you can't just live your life based on good faith. You sometimes have to get out of your comfort zone and do what it takes for the person or people you love. 

I started this online shop not just because I like what I am doing and want to share my works with other people. I do it because I want to have an additional source of income. It's always nice to know that money comes in every week, in trickles, but it's as though I get 'reimbursed' for spending on the family which is nice because I want to ensure my family doesn't feel like they're poor or something. We may lead a simple life but it's nice to have treats once in awhile.

We should count our blessings for having people to love us for who we are and to love others just as well.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
