Reaching a point that I am no longer too young and perhaps not even too old rather stuck somewhere in between. Trap to where I may be, I run through some realizations that my years has taught me. These are facts, my realities, random thoughts, or simply an occasional personal reminder.
- Float calmly.
- It is never as it seems.
- Know who you really are.
- It is better to listen than talk.
- Answer yes or no and not half way.
- Unearth the beauty in every situation.
- Talk to Jesus like talking to your bestfriend.
- Follow your commitment with no buts and ifs.
- Being lazy is innate so always drag yourself if you must.
- Once in a while, it is fun to slurp a bowl of ramen alone.
- Too many shallowness in the world, dig your own depth.
- Never allow other people’s perception define who you are.
- Stand firm with your own standard despite the bandwagon.
- Give in to your cravings. Your head will bug you if you resist.
- You don’t need many friends; you only need few real friends.
- Apply a no phone policy when you are with family and friends.
- Go out of your work space once in a while to freshen the mind.
- Store memories with your head and not just through your icloud.
- Be in the moment and stop overthinking what’s up with tomorrow.
- Set your own phase at work without pushing too roughly at yourself.
- There is that triumphant feeling when you sleep for 12 hours straight.
- Converse and be with people. Look at them in the eye. Drop the phone.
- Don’t feel guilty after eating a lot over a good meal. Be thankful instead.
- Love your work. It shows when you do and results get messy when you don’t.
- Monday morning is always a struggle unless you are waking up to ride a plane.
- Conversation without comprehension and proper listening becomes worthless.
- You are not entitled to explain your life (the success and failure of it) to anyone.
- When it gets overwhelmingly stressful, find your comfy corner and breathe there.
- Good, mundane, or even not so good—live the moment. There’s no better choice.
- Negative actions of others is not supposed to drastically change your solemn mood.
- A lot of people and situations will test your patience, earn the mastery of being patient.
- You are done proving yourself, just always do the job well and not to solely please others.
- If you don’t begin with small steps or quit over a mishap, you cannot accomplish your goals.
- Tag of war happens everyday—the endless delicious food choices versus the depreciating value of metabolism.
- Pick a happy crowd. Being with grumpy people and around a judging environment can drain a positive energy.
- When traveling or going to new places, capture the moment with your eyes and not with your camera phone all the time.
- Avoid negative and rude people. No matter how hard you train yourself to stay positive, they will still somewhat take a toll on you.
- You can’t be too busy meeting special people over coffee. Don’t hesitate to let go of those just using you. (At this age, you already know who’s who).
- Know when to continue and when to completely stop. Quitting is not always a sign of weakness but can be a hint of bravery—step up when it is too much.
- Some people will always ask the foulest questions and give the harshest comments in a know-it-all tone. Aim for a half smile, positive reply, and walk away. No sense to prolong a conversation unless you are in a battlefield mode.
- Be brave enough to find your happiness. Don’t settle on your comfort zones; you can’t go far there. Don’t survive, live! We are not a zombie. Take chances, explore the risks. Embrace your mistakes as it happens and learn from it. Fail if you must but don’t linger there. Fight happy!
