  • Less stress before the internet

    Do you remember life before the internet?

    I remember growing up in the 90s, where I had just television to watch, life was more simpler and less stressful without the abundance of information.

    So when I got the internet in the 2000s, it was still simple as it was still in its infantry. When social media came about it just started getting worse.

    The internet we use is that we can access it 24/7, so there would be information overload one way and another. Even worse there are scams and tricks that will make people even more stressed after we know that we have been scammed online.

    I do think the internet have opened some new issues about mental health but also different types of jobs people can do. So there is a negative side and the positive side of the internet. It also allowed me for more convenience when researching new information about something without much effort.

    I think there are both pros and cons about the internet but all we can do is make it healthier mentally online.

    A whole new world

  • Think like a warrior

    What do warriors do? They serve people.

    Even if you have mental health issues, you are a warrior, because you have or are trying to conquer the hardest of them all, “The Mind”. I think we are all at war with our minds because there is so much information out there on the internet and you can easily get overwhelmed.

    About that! Warriors serve people like giving knowledge or sharing knowledge to enrich other people’s lives. Or… They could be doing service work like cleaning or restaurant duties… in a way everyone is a warrior in their own sense of mind.

    What I like to do is make some type of money but sense of fulfillment at the same time. My line of project would like to be on the mental health side of things. So it is basically combining mental health and service business at the same time.

    Strive to be your best to serve

  • Always learning…

    What are you good at?

    Whether I am reading a book or blog and doing a job I am always learning a new skill whether consciously and unconsciously. When I absorb something I get better and better at it. I do like experimenting, when I see a new way to do a task easier, I tend to play around with the platform until I can get the task to do what I want.

    We should always strive to learn even in retirement age because if we stop growing and learning that is where we grow old quicker.

    I do wish I was good at everything but it is not easy to juggle everything at once to be good at everything quicker. One thing I know I am good at is more on the business – sales part, but on my own terms.

    I feel like when you are your own boss you have more power to do things your own way, making whatever you do unique. Even when you are your own boss you do feel a little unmotivated because you do not have someone on the other end to push you or help you grow.

    What I do is roam around to different jobs, just meeting new faces and talking to them so I can get a few ideas out of it.

    Always stay young and curious! 😉

  • When you have something to fight for…

    When you have a purpose to do something it feels like you are not afraid of doing things that are out of the ordinary. It is similar to when you have anxiety, that anxiety stops you from doing something because you do not have a reason to fight for the cause. But when you have a reason to do something, that is to help out the society, you will not feel like an anxiety within you like social pressure. For example collecting bottles have a stigma attached to it, like homeless people collect them. But when you have a reason for yourself like collecting cans and bottles is helping the environment stay clean and also helps them from going into landfills to be used as recycling, you will not feel that pressure.

    Maybe when you are first starting that is out of the ordinary… But when you find a reason within you… You will have an excuse for yourself.

    This goes for other areas of life and the actions you take.

    For a reason!

  • 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.

  • We cannot have everything

    What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

    We can all attain something, that is our mission, values and purpose. But that journey is endless. Our society is always changing so once we finish a project, then we move on to another project and so on.

    But as for physical items, we cannot obtain everything because that would break our bank and also too much storage.

    I think having it all is more about being fulfilled emotionally so maybe that is where psycho therapy comes in. If the therapy is implemented more, the mental health crisis would be more balanced instead of being overloaded in our society.

    So my mission is more about a cleaner environment, servicing people for a better mental health for others.

  • Less dirty, Better mental health

    I think since the early stages, our material has been harmful to our environment thus causing our mental health to affect us.

    When we have a dirty environment our mental state is affected. That is why it is better to clean ourselves and do our part to keep the environment or community more clean. If people leave their rubbish on the floor, it is our part to try and make the material more eco-friendly.

    How can we do this? Easier to say then done. I have found something which I will share in the future, some recyclables that are made from eco-friendly materials and will probably give some away for free in the local community first. Then I will move on to shipping them worldwide, that is if someone is willing to pay for postage.

    I think this is calculated but I think this will reduce our issues in society about mental health and all the other diseases in society when we have a cleaner environment. Even our homes could be filled with contaminates from the outside so I want to reduce the harmful bacteria in our environment, starting from my local community.

  • Talking to a variety of people

    Who would you like to talk to soon?

    I think talking to everyone broadens your experience. It doesn’t mean you should talk to them forever but when you meet different people just having a chit chat, everyone has different experiences. Like I said there are 7 billion worlds out there and 7 billion perspectives of life.

    Even those with mental health issues, they still do have an experience of their life, their own life experiences. So I like to travel around for work, meet different people and work with them and say what they do and tell them what I do. Everyone I meet has a different vibe so it could rub off against you and it could shape your personality or energy.

    Different environments or people, different experiences or perspectives

  • 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

  • Emotionally belongings

    What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

    I own something that is non tangible, that is a personality I have. It cannot be owned by another person but it is filled with purpose.

    I have a purpose to make the world a better place where everything and everyone around me thrives. I do have personal collections like Pokemon cards or precious metals, but what holds dearly to me is my personality.

    My personality never gives up on me when I am down and I do hold on to it.

    If my personality makes another person feel safe emotionally or my presence then I will feel fulfilled with a bit of a healthy dopamine spike.

    I do have some unhealthy habits but I do need to work on them but it is the drive and determination that keeps me going to make the community or society a better place than what it was the day before. Everyone has that role to play because it is all in the mind and how you think.

    Feel the love everywhere and be curious about peoples stories
