  • 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.

  • Leading the way…

    I have found everyone can lead the way in one way or another. The older you get the more you can use your mind to influence people as you have more knowledge about the world.

    If you do become an influence, I feel it is best to show your side of giving to another person so that all the other people will follow in your footsteps 👣.

    However, I like to try and spread my knowledge to everyone and raise awareness about the community in solving the mental health crisis. Also our mental health is impacted mostly financially as some people are finding it hard to land a stable income for themselves.

    I am committed to everyone having a commission based job while I take a little cut so everyone can stand on their two feet and to make work or service enjoyable for each parties.

    The funds I get are also to support businesses that are sustainable to the development of society for making mental health a better place like donating money to a clean water charity, to an investment where everyone prospers financially, supports other sustainable recycling development businesses and working/supporting with small businesses while also getting my brand out there. This will be a long road but I think we will make it.

    We gonna make it

  • 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.

  • Building a foundation

    I tend to rush things usually which can affect my mental health because I am trying to force stuff which I haven’t done. The best thing I learnt was to take little actions at a time so I would not overthink things.

    This could also make you tired and unmotivated to do things.

    If you are struggling or need someone to talk to. There are always free services around, you just need to look deeper within. Since we have the internet, it is more accessible than ever before. But what you do is to try and avoid the hospital for mental issues or else it would make things worse. Because mental health is a new thing we are trying to combat, in the 1960 to 1980s mental health was not a big thing so it was harder to tell. Now everything is coming up and more and more people are talking or spreading awareness about mental health issues.

    When you slowly build a foundation for yourself you limit your mental health problems. I am not saying it will prevent but minimise the problem.

    But I guess it mostly comes from information overload at one time. Our minds have not adapted to the fast paced society we have now.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Coping mechanisms…

    We all have copes, for example like hobbies or addictions. If we have an unhealthy habit it is best to try to avoid it. But if you cannot then slow it down. I know it is easier said than done but try to feel the difference between when you have consumed it and unconsumed it as long as it does not break the bank. We need money to look after ourselves.

    If having hobbies does not break the bank and makes you feel good in the moment, go for it! It supports businesses and the local community around it. That is the role we play in society, that is to build and try to make the surroundings prosper.

    But somehow we do need to look after our physical health, so… I am a vaper which I should stop but it helps me cope with these anti psychotics I am on while trying to work out what to do in the future or presently.

    I do compare differences when consuming and not consuming, I just weigh the benefits and cons, but my focus is geared towards the more purposeful side.

    Struggling but focusing at the same time “memes”
