  • Finding connections in books

    List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

    When I was done in the dumps, when my mind was not in the right place years ago through overworking.

    I took some books in the mental hospital to pass some time. One of the books I read was Think Rich Grow Rich.

    The book talks about how we should think emotionally or do an action into how we should live a healthier life through our lifestyle. It also taught me I need to solve a problem in return which would be satisfying to the soul as well.

    One problem to be solved after many admissions is our mental health system in Australia and maybe across the world needs more work because mental health is at its infantry. Well unconsciously… I am sure it happened a while ago but we are just talking about it now.

    I also read Life’s greatest question by Tom Rath and Rich Dad Poor Dad which also helped me financially and emotionally.

    I do think any books you read have an impact on your mental health whether positively or negatively depending on what you absorb.

  • Overcoming financial pressure

    What fears have you overcome and how?

    In my earlier years I have always been fascinated about money and how to make it but by bit. It is not much but making something online was really satisfying in the early years of the internet.

    I was trying to get people to click on my link and I made money from it. Ever since as I grew older I have been having this financial pressure to have this amount or that amount by the age I am at.

    This is probably due to the social conditioning of the internet.

    Right now I still face some issues but it is another kind of issue now. We all have a fear whether it is financial or have nothing to be a part of.

    But I have overcame it by researching or practicing daily at how things work in the stock market or crypto market. Now… I changed my strategy as in I am going to buy something for the longer maul. Before that I used to invest in something in the short term which affected my mental health sending me to the mental hospital.

    I think I was pushing myself too much to the point of insanity. Right now, I am slowly going day by day to consume some useful information instead of absorbing too much information which I may forget.

  • Talking with purpose…

    Somehow when you talk about something directly, just directly with different people, you tend to have less stress. It is hard to describe but this is what I have been practicing.

    It is more about being true to yourself instead of talking about nonsense. If I do talk about a lot of jibber jabber, my mind tends to get a bit messed up like messy in the mind which is not good for mental clarity.

    So I have been practicing talking with purpose as in what matters in the community or society instead of small talk. I tend to find small talk a bit boring and find what problems we can solve in the community more interesting as it keeps me thinking which also makes me mentally sharper as I think how to make the community a better place.

  • Socialising…

    Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

    What I have found after being discharged from the mental hospital, I found more clarity in life. In the public system, it can get chaotic at times. After the first admission I started feeling worse than before I came in for some reason. Maybe it could be the environment I was locked in the first time.

    But nonetheless, interacting with people whether it is presence or talking, I like to feel the personality of each one because it usually makes me think afterwards about myself as well. Sometimes people say things about you directly you never knew you had and it makes you wonder what it meant.

    When I was a child I used to play with random people or with my family members.

    But now… I find joy in collecting things just for the aesthetics, but it is a plus when it goes up in value. It is just a personal collection I like to play or buy with so my room has that positive feeling when I have that item. It sure does feel like I am hoarding but… I am not so sure.

    But when it comes to interacting with people, I mostly have a giving mentality which is emotional for some reason.

  • Having different projects…

    How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

    I am not sure when it is time to unwind when I am feeling well. When I am feeling unwell, I take it easy… We all should.

    But when I am passionate about something like making money or being a service of people, it just gives me more energy to do something.

    When you have nothing to be a service of… You just get bored because you have nothing to do. That is why there always has to be a boss somewhere so they can tell you what to do or want you to require something.

    To make my unplug happen, it is just unpredictable because I tend to push myself. My fear is being left behind most of the time.

  • How to be seen

    I think it is mostly put yourself out there. Whether you are on social media or offline.

    The internet has given us more freedom to make ourselves more seen, but there is a con. The con is physical interaction. We all need physical interaction one way or another.

    The best way is to try to make yourself look good like hygiene or lifting weights at the gym. Also, if you are on your purpose it will make sure that you have something to strive for.

    If you feel good about yourself, the way you dress or do a makeover, you tend to feel like a different person, just like you feel alive…

    To be seen is mostly to do with discipline even though somedays you may not feel like.

    Quote from Hamza the YouTuber. “Do the work especially when you don’t feel like it”.

  • Lifting each other up…

    What quality do you value most in a friend?

    What I admire most about people is the ability to put everyone up. What I mean is lifting people up whether emotionally or financially, but you would still have to do the work as well.

    When you are young, the older folks will give you a piece of advice but when you guys are the same age giving each other information is helpful as well.

    My own friends share about financial updates which keeps us updated about the markets without us doing as much research into the markets. But me? I help them emotionally in how to manage their emotions, somehow. I do this unconsciously for some reason.

    But whether we are friends or strangers, we should all strive to give a hand to another.

  • Finding comfort in music

    Everywhere I go even in my car, I listen to party hardcore music because it is what keeps me going during the day and on my purpose.

    When you listen to a specific music somehow your body reacts to it emotionally and physically. When I say physically, you could make some adjustments to your appearance through the music you listen to everyday. Also, the items you buy could also be influenced by the music you listen to.

    I will give an example of a music I listen to:

    When I listen to the music, I feel more upbeat about life which could manifest into real life in your surroundings like everyone treating you with the respect you want.

    It is also good for mental health as well as if you listen to slow tempo types, it could make you relaxed or either make you depressed depending on your mood.

    So whenever I listen to music, music just changes my mood even though I sometimes feel lazy before a job or work.

  • Finding purpose in what I do

    What jobs have you had?

    I have been working since I was in my 20s, from a full time job to odd jobs now. I find meaning in when I am getting compensated for my time while working towards a common goal. It does not need to be luxurious but something that has an impact on society.

    If my work helps another individual to their goal, then I am satisfied but then I have to think about the cost of travel and some other utilities. Everyone has to look after themselves after all.

    But then sometimes it may not be enough because we are wanting something more than just the specific work. If you tell the boss or employer you want to leave then, don’t feel guilty because you have already fulfilled your role in the position you were in. I try not to feel guilty but it is what it is.

    No amount of money is enough to satisfy in whatever work you do, so you would have to make your own work, starting with a project then you will end up creating more jobs in the future thus making the community more abundant in work.

  • Respecting beliefs

    Do you practice religion?

    While I do not believe in any religion, I respect them. It gives a person whatever they believe or practice a sense of purpose or something to do.

    I believe religion offers a person hope when they are down. But most of all you should put the practice over another human being as second. This is because it does not make you cling to another person, a person a finite amount of energy they need to allocate to people.

    Whenever you are struggling with mental health issues, it is good to practice or believe in a religion because they have some important scripts that are humble enough to give hope to you.
