“Starting from now on”
A very simple word that we often use daily when we want to start something new, something that we wanted to fix, something that we want to develop, or something that we just realized is important. It is now almost the second half of 2024, I am now 25 years old, it’s a quarter now…
I started 2024 with a lot of wishes, but also holding onto many occupations (re: jobs) which I always do in the past years. Some people often ask me what is my job, then I tell them that I have more than two jobs. They started to ask me, why having more than two jobs. Then, I tell them because I want to fully live my moments. They ask again, how can you live your moments by spending most of it working? Then, I tell them that I work on something that makes me happy. Then they ask again, whether it is not about money. I tell again, it is of course about money but that’s not the foundation.
The foundation of human’s life in this 21st-century life is that we spend most of the time by working. Even, there are some images on the internet that says our life are 80% work and 20% life. Therefore, in this modern era people started to talk about work-life balance a lot. Like a lot.
If we talk about work-life balance, everyone might have different point of view and ways of works on making that ideas into realization. But, I guess the closest one to what a human should do as a human being is to live your life. Making sure that it is not balanced, making sure that you love every second that you spend in your life.
Come with me, to the world that full of imagination…
That many people are striving to live those kinds of life.
Fewer people are having the best second of their life.
Too many people are struggling to find the Yin and Yang that they wanted to create in their lives.
While it turns out you only have one life, one life. Yes, one life.
If you feel like you are currently struggling with the life crisis on how can you make it balance on every aspect that you have in life… my suggestion is that you need to change your perspective on how you see your own life.
There are people who don’t have the privilege to say “starting from now on” because they are counting the days to the day they will day. But, one thing that is an important lessons that we can take to everyone’s life is that we really need to live our life to the fullest not with “starting from now on” but with “I am now”.
What is your now? What are you waiting for? what kind of world is full of imagination that you are aiming to have? what kind of things that you want to have? what’s hindering you?
Instead of focusing on the goals and what you aim for too much but having a blurred starting line because you don’t have much, start to think about what you have right now as your resources and create alternatives. I am pretty sure everybody in this world have the ability to live their life to the fullest in any way. Remember, that it does not have to be the same as other people’s life, you can create your own Narnia, Wonderland, or any magical place to live. It is about your perspective. But, also remember that the journey to achieve the ability towards this mindset is going to be very hard.
I know it is hard, but anyway…
Surprise yourself!
