Love, Life

Excerpts of my life, my love(s)

4 years on.

Jan 2014 : broke and jobless with no way to pay the student loan i took for my post-grad studies

Dec 2014 : got a job at an MNC for usd4.5k but was worked to my bones.

Fast forward to today (July 2018)..

I've just started on a Regional role with more responsibilities yet feel accomplished. I get to travel 50% of the time and the cherry on top? I get a whooping 44% pay increment compared to 4 years ago.

Did i do anything different over the course of 4 years? I don't think so, except for holding onto a grateful mindset.

I was grateful for each learning experience, good or bad.

I was grateful for every person who came into my life. I reconnected with neglected friends and family.

I was grateful for each pay cheque and even every bill i had to pay.

I was grateful for being able to pay for my parents' expenditures, medical bills and whatnots.

Yes it was not easy being grateful for the bad days at work or the scheming, cunning people you meet at work. Even watching my bank acct balance being reduced after paying for an expensive hearing aid for my dad, made me go into a panic mode for a few hours.

But i am still here. I have grown stronger (so has my bank balance!). Gratitude is the least anyone should have in their hearts, minds.

Spiritual side of LOA

After so many years of reading on LOA, i've never fully understood what some practitioners advise on praying. I've never been particularly religious. About 2 months ago, i had a bad run in with the boss. For no valid reason, she started nitpicking and fault-finding at my work. It didnt stopped there but she openly lashed out at me in front of my colleagues. This happened for a few days where nothing I did was ever right in her eyes. Feeling very puzzled, frustrated and broken (I take huge pride in my work), i turned to God. I went to the place of worship for the 1st time in many years and I prayed for peace of mind. And then...i let it go. I truly let it go. It was very difficult to stop burning my brains out on finding a solution. But i just let it go. The next day...and the following day...and till present date, I've enjoyed such great peace of mind. Within a day, my boss turned from a snarling, unreasonable, incoherent person to someone who laughed, joked and even thanked me for my work. I now understand the power of spiritual belief and how to truly let it go.

6 mins that the Universe took to blow my mind. I was telling bae that i "love" my job..even working over an hour past 6pm. But i have already put my intention out there that i am looking for better opportunities. 6 mins after being grateful for my job (looking at the positive side of it), a friend msged me about a job opportunity. 6 mins. WOW.

The Millionaire Course (by Marc Allen)

Started reading the book and came across an affirmation that spoke to me: "I am now creating total financial success in an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way". I started to write it down, said it out a couple of times, felt the happiness inside. Next evening, I received an automated sms from the bank regarding an amt being credited into my account. It was more than my month's salary and definitely not pay day yet. I was curious and even wondered if it was a wrong deposit. Said my thanks and went about my night. Got into the office the next morning and checked my payroll. It was a bonus given by the company! In my 2 years with the company, i have never received this amount of bonus! So here i am, affirming this : "I am now creating total financial success in an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way".

Don't forget.

Was in a rut at work lately. Overwhelmed by negativity, I searched for positive affirmations on YouTube, put on my earpiece and went to sleep. I didn't wake up particularly positive but was neutral. (This is after forgetting to practice gratitude for a long time). Started to fake positivity in my commute (fake it till you make it!) and received a msg from my sis about us being as hardy as plants (she saved a dying plant). Less than an hour later, i got a msg on my linkedin from a recruiter, seeking my interest in a possible opportunity. I have been applying for jobs over the past few months with not a single call back. Today i got a call for a job I didn't even apply! Note to self: don't forget to be grateful daily. Else negativity seeps into your life and may overwhelm you.

Works like magic

You should love your job, whatever it is, and be excited about going to work, and you shouldn't settle for anything less. If you don't feel that way about your current job or if it's not your dream job, the way to receive your dream job is by first being grateful for the job you have. - The Magic (Rhonda Bryne)

Some days when I am lost, I write this word to get me grounded and focused. Gratitude is the key.

My actual goals are to be so successful and independent that I can spoil myself and my family and do what I love and go where I want whenever.

Choose your side. Hint: read the msg across and then read it again downwards

The route to happiness is “to accept the things we cannot change” and to “change the things we can.”

The secrets of happiness

As adults, we tend to swap play and imagination for the routine of work and a busy diary. The nine to five all too often becomes a means to an end rather than a conscious journey. We no longer pay attention to the detail and don’t always fully absorb the joy that our journey is giving us. Our challenge is to spend less time focused solely on the task or the rewards and more on noticing the happiness to be had in the present moment. - Lois Blyth
