Miracle Morning

Happy Sunday! It's the last day of the month. Exactly 2months and 2 weeks away from Singapore. God is definitely trying to enlighten me on something that would change my life. It has been a long-overdue commitment, supposedly my priority before anything else. And do you know what is this? ME. Even before I graduated, the pressure and the responsibility of providing for the family was embedded deeply in my brain. I came from a middle-class or sometimes I could say, below-average family. My Dad has been overseas since I was 4, but had never bought a tangible investment such as property or even a secondhand car. Whenever this hits him or the conversation would touch these lines, I'd remind him that his best investment is US. Well, still not 100% coz my mother took his role ever since. She worked hard, day and night, ensuring that we have food on the table, that we won't feel that we are deprived. Now I know what she meant when she'd say that I have to live within my means or below my means coz we are not rich. It's true. Even now that I have the money to spend, those words still ring in my head. Great lessons that I'd certainly share with my children..... This whole pandemic is such a game-changer. It started with all the negative emotions, feeling lost, scared, bored, uncertain, name it; I was completely frazzled. But the thought of having a precious soul relying on my strength, I needed that grit to fight. It was just starting. There came my realization in life: 1. Life is simple, don't complicate it. After all, this is temporary. We're all gonna die. We don't know when, where and how. 2. Minimalism is key. It's possible to live with less but more. Materials things won't last, it usually fades the fastest. Love endures. Happiness is topnotch. 3. Distance won't mean a distant heart. Communication is optimal. It's committing yourself to be with that person thru thick and thin. Holding each other hands together. Keep it alive, keep it burning. 4. Make time for your personal development. To live an extraordinary life, you need to continuously improve the areas that matter in your life. Now is the best time, as what you do know will determine what you will become in the future. Baby steps, tiny steps, whatever you may call it. Just do it. 5. Proactively choose your circle of influence. Choose the people who add value to your life and bring out the best in you. Share the same wavelength. Above all these, the best lesson is to keep your faith strong. I may not be in control of so many things that I faltered and failed but God is in control. His will is always the best path, the best decision I've ever followed in my life. It's never too late to implement what I've been wanting to start off to live with the universal law, be the best version of myself. I am doing this because of love. Love for myself, my family, my friends, and people who matter.... I am. :)

All we need is LOVE

Blogging is something I've been contemplating doing for a while whether it's worth the time since my day is always fully packed. Life is short and so as time. With all the things that I need to do and accomplish, I feel that I need more than 24hrs. It's not the most ideal mindset as you have to manage your time well, ensuring that each facet of your life is being given the right and quality attention. Where am I now? I am in a place which I didn't want to be into but left with no choice. A year ago, I was given the opportunity to bring my children to Singapore and stay there with me as long as I'm employed. I turned down the offer. That decision made my heart break in millions of pieces. Being with my children is one of my top priorities. But why? Let me explain. I owe this to myself. When my company now offered the position last year, I was stoned. I couldn't believe it. I should say that the interview process was tough. The interviewers were intimidating. I've never presented anything to anyone after I graduated. For 6 long years, I was just too comfortable pitching my piece to people to convince them how importance it is to have an insurance coverage. It was quite a stagnant phase of my life which I didn't realize. I was too busy earning money. I forgot about my own growth and my happiness. To cut the chase, I got the role. I became a permanent full time employee of one of the top tech companies in the world. The beauty about it, I am covering my own country, driving incremental growth for the market using intelligent tools. Woow! I'm still in awe. I'm celebrating my anniversary next week. I was recently promoted to the next level, higher pay and yes, higher target, more responsibilities. They expect you to be preparing yourself to your next play. TBC, darn, I'm sleepy.
