Nothing in life is ever easy, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
I took a sip of my coffee. Aaaah, what a delightful aroma and taste I have been missing some. On purpose, I took a break from drinking every day too. I think that way I actually enjoy the coffee more and the moment feels more 'precious'.
A notebook of mine next to a coffee cup. I always carry this book when I work. Books containing many personal notes, especially about positive affirmations.
Do you believe in the "Law Of Attraction"? For me, it is a natural law that makes me a better person every day. I believe that we are the world that we create with our own beliefs.
It is ourselves who determine the goals and how we try to achieve those goals. But again and again, the main problem is that we often ourselves don't know what our true goals are.
LIVING IN OWN PATH
Frustration begins when life goes completely opposite to what we want. We may succeed in doing what our parents want, or succeed in doing what our partner wants to make them want. But in fact, we actually lose ourselves. How terrible.
Hmmm, yummy. The aroma and taste of palm sugar. My favorite sweetener for coffee. I took another sip of my coffee, then wrote An Inspiring Content Creator. That's my life goal.
Currently, I am enjoying myself as a content creator. With content creator media, I actually include a lot of skills there, such as my biggest skill (writing), as well as photography.
I've been on my own path since I was little, even though my sisters always told me to do something other than write. They say, writing will not make me live.
In fact, my hopes are to create inspiring content which then makes me enthusiastic about surviving. Survive? Will survival be so difficult?
HOW TO SURVIVE
In fact, I look fine now. But looking back when I had not found my own path, I often stated that I wanted to commit suicide. It peaked when I worked at a large state-owned company in the capital.
Having always lived in economic constraints since childhood, I thought that a big salary could make me happy. But it turns out, I was wrong.
I felt very depressed about how the big salary actually made me feel like a robot at that time. With hard work every day I feel like I don't have time to do what I like, what is my passion.
I became increasingly depressed when I realized that I couldn't serve people by myself. I just did what my boss told me to do. Just that. I felt really bad at that time. My mentality is broken. Plus, I felt like a failure because I didn't have anything to remember.
Big pay, that's nothing to remember. Money can run out, while you have nothing to remember. Besides, you're just a worker.
So, I decided to quit the job that everyone said was so good. People said I would regret leaving the company.
I sip my palm sugar latte. I smiled writing about my current development. No, I never regret it. In fact, it was the best decision I ever made!
The way to survive for me is to do what I like. I have discovered how I serve people. With my content, I feel there is something that can be remembered.
TOOK A LONG TIME TO REALIZE
While enjoying the deliciously delicious potato wedges, I remembered how I used to not believe in myself.
Until I was chosen by an editor to publish my book at that time, and the book sold around 2000 copies (I don't know whether that calculation increased or not). That number was several years ago.
Then, several readers emailed that they loved my book! Oh, it feels like I found my own path! Although, it took a very long time to realize that.
Since I could write and read in elementary school, I regularly wrote stories. I got that talent from my late mother. It's just that my environment made it difficult for me to believe that being a writer was the best thing for me to survive.
I'm grateful that the deepest part of me told me not to give up, and I knew Hive (it was Steem). Until now, I feel that the people at Hive have made me feel very blessed with my writing talent.
Even though it takes time to realize, don't give up. There will come a point where the universe will make you realize that your purpose is actually already within you, long before you realize it. It just takes the lowest events in your life for you to see who you really are.❤️❤️❤️
Okay, I need to finish my delicious potato wedges and my coffee. See you, Hive People.
Thank you for reading my blog and reblog if you want my blog this time worthy of reading by others.
