Sometimes...

Sometimes I wish I can feel jovial everyday...
Like today, I wish I feel more happy-go-lucky, but I'm not. There's no particular reason, I'm just feeling alright.

I desire my life to be more like the Sims. Having many short-term goals. Once achieved, I shall move on to the next goal in mind. However, life for me is not as the virtual reality I want it to be. By nature, I would reckon that I am a highly ambitious individual who wants to do what I always have in mind. The thing about being successful is to be persistent. Never give up. Why, in my opinion are most people not as successful as they want themselves to be is because people are impatient. Just like me! I constantly do not want this negative trait of myself to affect me from reaching my goals in life, that is why I frequently read motivational books.

I believe that I can be a successful person if I set my goals right and follow through, by taking all necessary actions.
Another trait about me is I realise I'm not a believer of luck. Some people like to call it fate or destiny.
Believers of God might say "God planned all these." Yes, I'm a Christian and I do believe that all things are God-planned. But additionally, I also think one should use their full potential within their abilities to do the good things they want.
To make myself coherent and not contradictory, in my mind, 80% is up to us, human beings, 20% is up to luck/fate/destiny. I also believe that God has intended to place good things within our reach, it is up to us to reach out for that star.
Maybe you agree, maybe you don't. I just don't like to blame any shortcomings on luck.
Oh well, hope you had fun reading. See ya around soon!
xoxo,
Pampi

work has been irritatingly routine. day in and out. life is fading it's colour. can't break the chains. have nowhere to run to. stare at the PC screen, move inches on the mouse and hit the keyboard by hundreds each day, fighting hard to keep my eyes half open past lunch hour. life is ticking by fast. save me from this. it's nearing 2 months now. haven't encountered much challenging tasks. it's about a year now. not earning and saving much. it's getting harder to breathe. tell me what to do.

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
