Insecurities inside you

Image
Understanding that life is not easy and no one said it's easy too, there are times you have insecurities inside you. Whether it's about work, future, relationship or assets, you need to learn how to deal with them. If you cannot control them, they will control you instead. Recently, I got a lot of questions from new friends asking if I am scared of any insecurities as it seems to them that I am so determined. Of course, I do but I hide them, and try to get myself prepared as much as possible. I'm not that strong and there are still times I cry, honestly. I have been receiving many random messages recently. Some of them shown the senders had interests in writing  and wanted to share something too  so we talked. I gave them my time, until I am certain they will never deliver me anything. Honestly, I do not mind chatting but it would be great  if they could be straightforward from the beginning. Some of them are people I talked to before and they just became single again, I ...

Beliefs

Image
It was a long holiday last weekend (well, actually just 3 days) and I did enjoy every single minute of my time. I got a chance to speak with some intellectuals and the conversations brightened my vision. It was about the religion. Yes, mainly on Buddhism and Christian. Note: This is not a religious topic. There is nothing that is truly right or wrong. Nothing is better and nothing is worse. We just shared about how different we see or perceive things. I do appreciate all religions and I can be friends  with people from other religions without any problems. He shared me about his life story. His sister got sick due to a stomach cancer  so his father came from Burma to visit the daughter. The father, later on, got sick with stomach cancer as well and he passed away during his visit. (I'm sorry) My friend was so sad and he was mad at everything at the time, until one day he realized that he was already blessed enough  having a chance to meet and greet with his father...

We have 28,810 days to live

Image
You are having less and less time every single day. You will not know when your last day will be. Life expectancy in the States is approximately at 78.93 years.* That means you have 28,810 days in average for your lifetime. They say each new day is a new opportunity, but don't wait until tomorrow as it is not a promise. You may not have the full 28,810 chances in your life pocket. No one knows if today will be their last day or not. It's better to make the most of the present. Where do you stand on your bell curve life graph? Are you in the first stage where the graph is still going up? The middle stage where the graph is pretty stable? Or in the last stage where everything slows down for you? Determine yourself so you see how many chances in life you still have left. If it's about your goal/dream, wake up and pursue it. If it's about your family/people, make up with them  before it's too late or they leave you. If it's about your anger/boredom/tiredness, take i...

Culture is beautiful

Image
I had a talk with a new friend today. He asked me about my life in USA. He wondered if there was any culture shock for me and how it was going. This brought me to the topic "Culture". People in different nations can differ in the behaviors and cultures. Cultural difference around the world may shock you  but if you look in the great ways, it could benefit you as well. There is one dominant culture in the States that I really like,  and I think this is somewhat Thai culture should pick up too. The thing that I am falling in love here is "equality", which means you are equal in rights, status, races and advantages. I had a meeting with one of the management team today. We went over the duties that he needed my help on, but I disagreed on some of the points he was mentioning. If I were in Asian countries, I believed the only thing I could do  was just to follow his instructions. But because I am working in the States now,  I told him what I thought and also shared my i...

It's ok to ask for help

Image
"If you don't help yourself, nobody will." I bet you might have heard the sentence before. That's a 100% true. If you don't help yourself, if you don't value yourself, if you don't try to make things better on your side,  it's very hard that someone else will give you a hand. So you will need to start from yourself first. However, helping yourself doesn't mean you cannot ask for people's advices. There can be a better vision if you take some steps back  and see the problem from further,  as you will see the whole picture of it.  Have you noticed that if a friend of you tells you her problem and asks for some advice,  it's very easy for you to give her some ideas? But when it's all about your own problem,  it takes more time  and seems to be harder than usual.  That's because it's not only your brain that is functioning,  but your mind is also working very hard as well. I got a chance to talk with a famous Thai influencer lately....

Learn to read between the lines

Image
The world has been more chaotic than before. Not only crimes, wars, disasters and conflicts that happen nowadays, people's minds are a lot more complicated as well. That's why we need to read what someone implies too, because sometimes people do not openly state  when they say or write something. Reading between the lines will help you  get the full meaning of everything. I came across with an interesting passage years ago. It was the passage about reading between the lines. It's essential to understand the true context the person would like to say, especially when it's personal. I also have something to tell you as well. Are you ready to read it? Here below is the message from me to you, ** I wrote it myself ** "My great love that I always give to you is disappeared and my smile when I do not have you  is a lot bigger. I thought I was so lucky to meet you. But in reality, I was totally wrong. And if I could turn back the time, I wish we hadn't met. Even though...

What is the meaning of your “Happiness”?

Image
What is the meaning of your “Happiness”? Be a Millionaire? Be a Superstar? Be a Famous person? Be an Influencer? To me, none of the above. My Happiness is just that I can do what I want, whenever I'd like to do. Just only I can sleep where I want, whenever I'd love to sleep. That is enough! That is my Happiness! I was a white collar working for a big international company and I was happy every month end when I received my paycheck. I thought that was my Happiness. However, after I had worked for a long time, a question popped up in my head, “was this my true Happiness?”. The answer was NO! So I decided to resign and explore my true happiness. As I know that I love travelling and enjoy flexible hours, I pursued my certificate as a tour guide and I enjoyed it. It might not be as secured as full-time employment, but we cannot eat a cake and have it too. This is a proverb meaning "you cannot have it both ways" or "you cannot have the best of both wo...
