This rare occasion I am here
it's been a long time that I am here! So many things happened between these 4 months, and time had flowed through so fast!
I was reading tinybuddha yesterday and reading from posts to posts, I have 2 questions of essence which I never thought about before, and should do some good thinking about it now.
1) What is the core value in my life and what is important?
2) Find a habit that i want to change in 1 month.
I truly believed that as a gemini, I never belonged to anyone. I desired freedom, I craved for independence. Now that I have grown to an "adult" age, and that I have to work to become financially and mentally independent, I think it is important for me to reflect on the core value in my life.
Thus, I have decided the core value in my life is to be
- Simple
- Healthy : mentally and physically
- Focus on things that matter (my family and close friends)
- Financially Independent
- To have a career and a hobby I love
Out of these, I would rank them as equally important. It is important to be simple. Eat simple, have simple thoughts, talk simply, using simple words. In the past months, I have encounters with people which I personally opine are quite complex. I personally feel that they bring upon their own problems (I know i am not very compassionate by saying this) I think problems can be solved and avoided if we break things down and go back to the basics. Problems like weight issue (eat simply), heart issues (don't overthink), communication issues (use simple words).
From the hiatus of blogging, you could have seen through me that i am not a person of perpetual habit. Thus, i've found out that I am too ambitious and i am not good at doing many things at a time. I lose focus easily. Nevertheless, the past months had taught me that I have to focus myself and putting in my efforts to people that are important to me. Living in this macro-environment, social networking had made us to befriend so many people, acquainted and expanded our social circle. However, how many of them truly mattered?
From my reading yesterday, I have also learned that it is important to do things we are happy. It doesn't matter if we do not get accepted, or if we have to say no to reject someone. Saying no, and rejecting people is something I have to really step up and learn!
I am truly honoured and it is my good fortune that I have a good buddy, Faith whom is my role model in life. I think she is able to achieve living simply, having simple happiness and focusing things that mattered! I told you it is my good fortune ;) She is truly one lady I want to learn from!
Next on, is a habit that I want to have myself for 1 month. It is to cut sugar from my diet. Just this 1 habit. It is difficult, but I shall try my best. Right now, I eat whatever I wanted. There's no fixed diet per-se, but of course, I avoid white flour, white sugar and go for real and whole foods as much as possible (eat simply).
It feels great to be back! It feels great to be Brillyn, again!
