  • Thinking fast

    I have been In a fast paced environment ever since I was 8 years old, helping out my parents at the restaurant. It taught me hardwork can get me anywhere but now with the internet, it is mostly about using your mind to make even more money.

    But maybe… Being in such an environment made me who I am, been at the hospital and always pacing around doing odd jobs. That is where I got into vaping about 3 years ago because I needed to slow down and reflect for myself. Even though the anti psychotics is making me think faster for some reason so vaping is the solution. I know it is not good but it helps at times.

    So I think that my mind always needs that constant stimulation and fast paced to keep me entertained. It is like an aredaline for my mind.

    Of course this is not good for mental health if I keep up like that but maybe I am used to it by now and probably no turning back.

  • Don’t think about money too much

    We all need money in society to look after ourselves to buy food or to fund our hobbies. But when we think about money this or money that, our mental state tends to get affected. Maybe this is due to the overworking of our minds…

    But of course it is easy to say money doesn’t buy happiness but in some way it does because you have firepower to do something you want.

    Even if you do not earn a lot of money like the national wage, there is always something to make your money work for you. One thing I do is I allocate some money into a stable investment which will grow overtime. I use an app called Raiz.

    So when you are off working and needing some money, there are always opportunities to experiment and gain some knowledge in order to make the money work for you thus more wealth for you guys.

    When it comes to a support role you have to be passionate about the job or else it will eat you up if you are constantly thinking about the wage you get instead of living in the moment to support the other party which is handed to you for the role.

  • Don’t underestimate yourself

    Sometimes I strive to achieve something in the world, like solving a problem. Reading this book called “Lifes greatest question” by Tom Rath really made me think if I could put out something into the world, the others will follow unconsciously or consciously.

    Reading other books really helped me reflect on my well being as well as some problems I need to solve for myself as well.

    We together should work as one in making the world a better place like recycling as well as supporting some causes as long as it does not break the bank.

    If you have fear of no money by the time you retire, you shouldn’t fear because there is always something for everyone to be looked after. I think if you support a cause or do something positive for society, the universe will look after you whether they do or do not know about it. This could be unconsciously people know you did something based on your energy or body language you put out.

    These are just thoughts but I believe if you help another person positively then the universe will reward you two times.

    I think of this as an investment in yourself.

    Path to giving

  • Don’t put your eggs in one basket

    What it stands for:
    Different types of projects and sources to do

    This comes in terms of income, if you put too much of your time in one thing, it may or not work out. It is best to have another source whether you make money or not.

    In the past I kept focusing on the stock market (Penny stocks) all day in business hours when it opened. So what I would do is refresh the page every 10 seconds to see if it goes up or not. It drove me crazy, because I kept focusing on the price of the stock. It made me inpatient as I had nothing better to do as I was sitting in the office in my full time job just to get that little hit of dopamine. Eventually it did drive me to the mental hospital which my first time experience was not a good one. Best to avoid going there as a patient.

    Right now, I am more focused on finding different types of work in different places while writing blogs in my travel journey from there to here or something. I do have other things going on… I will probably share more in later blogs when I have my mind straighter.

  • Respecting your work

    I think when you do things properly and it goes the way it is planned, it would feel a sense of accomplishment. Whether you are cleaning a dirty house then you tidy up the place and the place is more spotless. It may not go as planned but it is cleaner and you will probably do minor adjustments to the place.

    When it looks like you want it to, the personality of the place would change and your mind would feel at home or at ease.

    Even when you are cleaning someone else’s place, you are helping them free up their mental space because when there is too much clutter their mind races and they do not know what to do. That is when you come in to tidy up the place and when the place is clean, the other party “Thanks” you for completing their inaction to their place. Also this helps them with their mental health as their minds will not be running around in circles for their inaction. It is understandable that they feel not actionable to tidy up the place.

    Respecting peoples place will create less drama therefore less stress to all parties involved.

    I feel like the word “Respect” means listening to another person’s tasks or feelings.

  • Trying to find work

    Opportunities are everywhere if you are willing to offer your help. It is best to do it at any price as long as you make something in addition to your travel journey fee it is good enough while trying to build something.

    So when you are stuck and not knowing what to do. Maybe you should shallow your pride and do a low offer in something to try to build your reputation up.

    I am referring to people that want to be in the self employed space.

    But hey… If you are lucky, higher offers than what the customer or employer is offering them that is a plus!

    So what I am trying to do is get people to be their own boss, where I pay them in a job while I get a tiny commission. It is like work when they want and when they feel like it because we do get bored when we have nothing to do anyways.

    Turning inaction to action

  • Life is an adventure

    No matter how you are suffering don’t give up. It is easier to say than it is but what you are going through is a process to make you stronger or become successful later in the future. There is no path to what is successful but living in the present helped to slow things down in the mind without thinking too much about the future.

    I find it best just walking around the neighbourhood, just observing the environment how I could solve a problem which people need.  When you solve a problem, money will come to you whether you do the work.

    I have been in the psychiatric ward for a few times and it made me think of life in a different perspective because the environment you are in is a dog eats dog when you are the patient usually. You may encounter bullies there, who like to bully innocent people who try to mentally break you sending you into a worse state. Or? Maybe they are just not right in the mind.

    For those that have empathy or compassion, we could change their way of thinking (If we can) to contribute to society instead of taking advantage of benefits. I am not saying people who get benefits are lazy, they truly need them but some people like to take advantage instead of doing something meaningful.

    Going to random places expands your horizons

  • Everyone to be mentally stable and healthy

    What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

    I want to write this because, I have been thinking about this for a while.

    For everyone to be healthy emotionally and physically, we must work together in charity organisations by donating to them. Yes! Some good be scammed. So I currently donate to WaterAid monthly, which I get a newsletter every month  in my email. By donating to their mission I feel good about myself when they are trying to make water safe to use in other parts of the country. We humans have an innate need to help one another, it is how we fulfil our purpose mostly.

    So what I want to leave a mark is “Watapple” stands for helping people for fun in general, but there could be other perspectives about.

    The more people that are healthy the more innovation we get!

    Helping Hand

  • Finding opportunities…

    In society we think we cannot find work or something to do but one valuable skill is to be an all rounder.

    This includes being a cleaner, kitchen hand or working in the office. There are endless opportunities if you are willing to learn. Personality cannot be trained but skills can be trained.

    If you have a lot of experiences into industries, you will find endless opportunities if you put yourself out there. Maybe after you leave school it is harder, but once you get the skills up and running, it will be easier to find opportunities out into the community.

    I find it is best not to leave your eggs in one basket. We humans are always made to improve and are looking for something to do. If we do nothing during the day our minds think of nonsense which in turn affects our mental health.

    My project is trying to bring people struggling with mental health over into working service based jobs as there is a big stigma attached to them while also helping with their investments based on their risk. It doesn’t matter if the money is not a lot per hour but you will be getting valuable skills into the future.

    That is why when you are young it is best to invest in yourself, while making mistakes in the process when important personal responsibilities are limited.

    Careful how you plan out your responsibilities

  • Fear is our enemy

    We should not fear what comes out of peoples mouths/words if it does not affect your life.

    I guess if we fear our mental health will be hi jacked and it will end in an endless cycle of depression or anxiety. We should fear that we are not taking action to make the world a better place. The actions we take should be finding a job or some money method so we contribute to our surroundings making the other person feel like they are looked after.

    If we fear what the higher ups are saying, we tend to inaction our minds, which tends to make us overthink and who knows… Destruction??

    We do need to be cautious at times, because everyone needs to look after ourselves, but we should try to encourage everyone around us to be happy and to be in their normal thinking state.

    But probably everyone has their own perspectives on things.
