  • Being in an artsy community

    Describe your most memorable vacation.

    When I was in Melbourne, years ago with my friends I felt something, something hard to describe, that it was more creative than when I was in Sydney.

    Maybe now it is chaotic but before years ago it had the lively feeling like a happy vibe to it, a more hip feeling. Some places I went had arts with meaning on them, maybe a sad or happy meaning but it was very creative with alley ways and stuff.

    So it kind of inspired me to think of ways to combine business and art together. From what I have observed people with mental health issues are creative in their own way like drawing pictures or colouring in pictures using different colours. It could be the colours they use have meanings but it could be hard to describe. We are Complex individuals with different needs I guess. From what I observed they are not the greedy types but trying to make their own path in life trying to express their feelings through pictures and drawings.

    We know the society and community is a dark and dangerous place but we shouldn’t let that stop us and try to make the world a better and safer place, emotionally without all the fear we see on television and or social media.

    All we can do is fight and hope for the best. We should be living our lives to the fullest even if it ruins our reputation.

  • Doing what I can

    How do you express your gratitude?

    If I can do my part in making the community or society a better place emotionally and physically by talking or recycling then the others may follow. Of course it would be better if everyone was incentivised but probably in the beginning will be at a loss.

    But do things that make you feel good, like what you are contributing to the community. This can come in the range of talking (giving knowledge) or paying for goods and services and recycling and reusing when you can.

    I cannot rest until, everything and everyone is turning around intangible or tangible things but how I see it is like money because money flows in a range of goods and services just like when money flows to you when you offer goods and services. I do not do it all for me but for others well being as well which we should give back to society.

  • Mental health

    What are you most worried about for the future?

    In the future it would be great to have a cleaner future. If we do not have a cleaner future then our mental health will be affected.

    The chemicals in our food or just non productive ingredients in our products will make our society a worse place. We should also re use when we can and when we want to if we want to make the community a better place and to offer more incentives to do so. In our psyche we are more motivated if there is a reward at the end of it.

    But maybe the future is looking brighter as the community or society is a cleaner and more productive way, well here in Sydney that is.

    But we do need to look after ourselves anyways, to do what you need to do.

  • Recycling…

    When we have second hand goods we want to buy, if they are still usable, we can brush it up like paint it or sand it then it will be near new. Also it looks new! It is easier to say than done because I do not do that yet but maybe in due time I may try this.

    I collect cables used for copper and just resell them to scrap yards but right now I am just keeping them so in due time they will go up in value. I may even store them in a storage unit for fun while supporting the business as well. I also collect bottles and cans, so after I drink them, I put them in a bag to take them to a recycling facility when I have a lot.

    There are a lot of ways to recycle over in Sydney, some are cheaper than others or some you could make money out of but when we recycle we tend to make the environment more friendly as in not using a lot of resources that are not used on earth.

    When we recycle we also make another life for these items for us to consume.

    Recycling can also give us good mental well being as it makes us think we are contributing to the eco-friendliness of our society and also to give us a purpose to lean on.

  • Sharing your energy

    What I mean by that is sharing your money. I like to share my money when I am getting a service or product. I feel that if I give my money for service it will make people improve their products. Some products may be simple and do not require skill but I think it is about the passion you give to the service. Not everyone has passion but it will motivate business or the vendor to do better slowly and that will snowball to the others as well as others will follow suit.

    I think this will make mental health a better situation for all the consumers.

  • Keeping the mind busy

    What are you passionate about?

    Well I guess everyone likes money, even though I like making money as well. Money is important to look after yourself but does not ends meet.

    What I like doing is doing different things at once like reselling, doing deliveries and such, such. The reason I like doing this is that it keeps my mind active trying to juggle different things at once.

    Maybe eventually give it to another person to do the task for me in due time. This is also allowing them to contribute to society by doing a service.

    So basically I am passionate about business where everyone benefits emotionally and financially at the same time.

  • Being an inspiration to others

    There is a big mental health crisis in our society, probably to start with your own community first. You may not see it but probably it is a feeling in our environment where we place things.

    Our modern society now has made everyone fear for our safety because of what is going on in the media. I guess everything looks safe and sound but it is probably a safe bet to look at people’s intentions in their mind. It is invisible.

    But how we handle it together is we should try and inspire one another, it doesn’t matter if you are a child or adult. Everyone has a role to play in our society.

    We should strive to give our best to fulfil a better society because of that… There will be few theft or break ins which everyone is trying to survive. It is best to share our wealth not only for our personal gain but more of giving to others while looking after yourself. Instead of dividing the wealthy and non wealthy we should try our best to bring them together.

    However whoever solves this problem will be rewarded in the future. It is more to do with decentralisation where the community or society is thriving in their own way.

    I will leave this to another day…

  • Making sure everyone benefits

    It is mostly financially and emotionally benefits from what they do. I guess this comes in terms of vulnerable people as we do not like taking advantage of people.

    There are rules in the government that we should follow like tax offsets or even investments. I think financial stress is the biggest cause for mental health and starting from vulnerable people is a good way to start. With so many tools online in how it  helps us or other people, we continue to have newer tools to make the world a better place with fewer conflicts everyday. Sure there will be new issues in our community or society everyday but my focus is more of a minimising financial stress  which makes our mental health decline. This decline is due to the food we eat or the lifestyle we have because of financial issues.

    But we should all work together for a better tomorrow, which I am trying to do my part. The better mental health, the better the innovation we get and also a safer society. We should strive for a decentralised society where money is still involved.

  • Trying to live a stress free lifestyle

    What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

    This is a concern to financial, emotionally or spiritually. When I have financial issues it is mostly in how I can maximise my profit or money but sometimes my emotions get the best in me because if it is too expensive then the other party may not buy. For financial concerns I put my money where it can grow instead of leaving it stagnant so I maximise my finances while maintaining my lifestyle. My lifestyle is pretty much minimal but when it comes to something that has the chance to go up in value I will probably buy, that is if I do not need the money.

    Emotionally and spiritually I tend to reflect on my actions and how I could make it better. This comes in terms of socialising in making the other party themselves feel better. When they feel better I internally feel good, with a spike of stimulation I get knowing I helped one person without having their resources taken away.

    But what is better is living positive spiritually, is having a calm state of mind which is luxury in my case.

  • Going outside your comfort zone

    I feel like whenever I put myself in dangerous situations, the smaller things in life do not phase me. Maybe whether it is a money situation or places where it is unstable. I’m not sure…

    I think it tends to be your personality, if you have an unthreatening self like a giving  soul which is based on the body language you give off then you will be spared. But I guess you could be taken advantage of, so what I think is mostly base your intentions internally instead of externally where people can read your intentions. It is hard but it can be learnt. As well as that you must have a principal you go by so you will minimise the external factors that happen around you so to save yourself some stress and time.

    This could include following the rules or doing something that is morally right.

    But going outside your comfort zone like taking a cold shower or just experiencing the good and bad makes you a more rounded person in society and you have more stories/knowledge to tell to pass on the message, even if one person is inspired.
