A Reflection Throughout The Year

Just wow. I’ve never been this present of my life. The endless open gratitude I praise to the Lord for every good and bad things that had happened to me, the anticipated and the unexpected. 

Times flies so fast and so slow. Here we are almost at the end of 2023. I thought to myself I think I want to write down things I learn this year, tell people inspiring books that have moved me. This is a good idea, that’s why I’m here again on my abandoned blog.

There are a lot of lessons that theoretically I’ve read and heard before, but just realized how true they are after I experience and practice them for real like consistency, discipline, patience. I practiced them a lot this year, especially when I’ve started to be more serious in pursuing certain personal and professional goals. 

Yet the utterly insane I learn this year is how I manage to be unapologetically unbothered and be myself completely. At first, I practice it to be more present and more grateful. Somehow I stop comparing myself with others and just do my own business to a degree that I am complete. Back then I could say I don’t care when I actually care. But today, it’s just meh. I have so much to accomplish, I have things to focus on, everything else that doesn’t relevant to my goals I just cut it off. 

While that might sound selfish, but what’s happening is a truly self-relieve from society and their noises that contribute to an ultimate peace of mind. A calm mind. 

A calm mind helps me to think crystal clear about what I do really want to do in life. I figure out what to the point I found my niche and commit to strive in it. While I know what I need to do, I become more focus on it and discover things I need to improve. During this process, that’s when I learn discipline,  consistency, and patience. 

To sum up, what I learn in 2023:

• discipline
• patience
• consistency
• mindfulness 
• focus
• being unbothered, and
• being unapologetic
