WHILE LYING IN BED..2/12/2024 While lying in bed and recovering from a surgery, there are things that you can do (aside from Netflix and Youtube and sleeping). You can arrange your bed and your bedside table. You can write long letters to friends and loved ones. You can plan your year by doing a monthly goal and getting accountability partners with you. You can also start a conversation with friends that you haven't talked to for years or months. You can also plan your blog topics and bank it ahead of time if you're a blogger. Plan in your head some of the activities that you will do once you're 100% mobile and strong (e.g. eating outside, cooking new recipes, deep cleaning some rooms, building the storage room, driving for playdates, etc.) Think about the things that you have done in the last three years, make a mental note of the people you helped, your successes, and the things to improve this year. You can feel totally useless, I would understand but there's a time for every season. Healing works when you cooperate with it, not against nature and the law of universe. Believe that you receive and it will come to pass. Have a thoughtful recovery days. Take it easy.

LIFE IN 202412/29/2023 If your 2023 has hills and valleys, make no mistake, 2024 which is next week will unsurprisingly be full of that too. In no ways that the world has survived the pandemic, yet, there could be another one lesser or bigger in gravity. Right now, there are many more variants of the COVID-19 spreading around. Hopefully, the reaction of governments would not suffocate the entire economies just to contain the disease among the population. There are new 1M poor all over the world as a result of the pandemic on top of existing and persisting societal challenges. The average life expectancy in Canada as with the rest of the advanced economies is now at 82 and with modern medicine and treatment technologies, prevention and early diagnosis of known diseases will be more prominent in all of our lives. However, the declining fertility rates creates a conundrum for governments to depend more on immigration which is not a shock-proof answer either. Multiculturalism in Western Europe is a failed experiment because they failed to figure out that people must work and positively contribute to society in economic and societal terms, so harmonious integration with the mainstream culture is compatible with economic success. Radical Islam and cultures that force Western Europe to bend backwards just to please and appease them is a poisonous pill to take. It's better that these countries be more selective and intelligent about the kinds of people they are accepting in their societies. Imported wars and related uptake on street violence bleeds the resources of small countries who never had such issues in the past. Don't blame it on multiculturalism-it's not a kumbaya type of societal paradise. Blame it on politicians with their rose-colored glasses and stupidity. The world as we know it will not end in 2024, it will persist. But take heart, believe that you will be rewarded for hard work, perseverance, faithfulness, and dedication to work, occupation, or life calling. Whatever you plan to do, do it with a level-headedness and intentionality. You might not get what you want, but you're on forward-motion. There's plenty of work and for those seeking work next year, you only need one hell of a good job so take another dose of courage. Take supplements if you need it. There is no better time than now to invest. Invest in your people, organizations, and systems. Invest in growth and compounding returns. Invest in your families and communities that gives more than requires. And invest in your health, spirituality, and joy. No amount of money can buy peace of mind that comes from the Peace Maker. To a more prosperous, spirit-filled, and satisfying 2024! It won't be perfect but at least, it's what you can make of it, that's worth every second.

YOU'RE NOT LUCKY!10/2/2023 to
This Thanksgiving Month, I've going to debunk the common myth about success and achievement. You didn't get lucky and you shouldn't thank that the stars aligned in the right time you were in that place. It's the result of your own efforts, planning, faith, strategy, and perseverance- being in the right room, at the right time, with the right crowd. There are many countless people that are supporting and enabling you, conscious to you and/or not, since your were in Kindergarten. There are also many people that serves as your inspiration and challenge when you're faltering and starting to waiver in your commitment. There are loved ones that care enough to loan their monies without the expectation of return when your first start-up was launching or you need further education. You have tremendous amounts of ideas and sometimes talent that are enough to serve a sizable market. There are opportunities that just opened because of political, societal, economic, and communities coming together and doing something about these issues. There are people that you turn when you felt dejected, isolated, and need an ego boost. If you see the value in your resume, that means your past and future employers see the best in you before you even believe that in yourself. The truth of the matter is that luck is best served on a hot plate with rice and teriyaki chicken on top. Don't ever believe your lucky, believe that you can always achieve when you make it happen. |
