Are We Still Allowed To Dream?



Are we still allowed to dream? that question is keep popping in my head nowadays. I mean that you might be asking yourself how you can entertain the idea of thinking about yourself and what you want in the future when everything is so weird and uncertain, both in your personal life and the world.

Well, kept i challenging myself by asking what I really dream of in this part of my life. Especially at a time like this. Don't get wrong, I am utterly in the stage I really accept what happens in life.

But adulting also teaches us to worry more, worry about unnecessary that could be, or perhaps will happen in the future. cause worry is what I called selfishness in disguise, and when is too often, people give in to worry without realizing how destructive it is. Because we are more concerned with our selfish desires are not being fulfilled.


And the more you worry the more complicated your life becomes.



Perhaps an occasional Freak out. All Fine. But too many IT IS NOT FINE.

Remember you're actually responsible for your own emotional WELL-BEING. it might not seem you have a lot of options when it comes to your feeling and coping these days. Like you're stuck with all of it. and getting UNSTUCK IS STILL MYSTERY.

Nonetheless, how you feel is always a choice, even though it really doesn't feel like it. The thing is, the way you're feeling was created with all the scenarios that running inside your head. AND MY FRIENDS REMEMBER WE ARE WHAT WE THINK WE ARE. your thoughts ... your feeling is all optional.

So, the question now is, WHY NOT DREAM?

Why not think more about what you want? Regardless of how old you are? How many kids do you have? How many Responsibilities do you have? How many baggages you have on?

Are you with me? Dreaming is a pretty intriguing idea:

  • It's FREE
  • it's FUN
  • It's a welcome DISTRACTION

So why not dream, doesn't require getting a big one, just dream to have :

  • a good sleep after the whole week struggled with all the work
  • a nice cuppa after sending your kids away for school
  • hosting a dinner party with all your loved one
  • a new hobby and skill that you want to learn
  • or a relationship that you're more present?

I know what you're probably thinking though. it feels too indulgent to think about oneself. it sounds so selfish or maybe a waste of time.

I hear you.

But when you really think about it. there's no downside to dreaming. And I tell you there are so many things that you will miss like you won't be ready to move forward if you don't dream. your mindset wont is different so you won't be prepared. And you are way more excited about life.

So yes, we are still allowed to dream, regardless of whatever holds us on.

REMEMBER

YOU'RE WORTH IT.

AND IT FEELS GOOD TO DREAM.

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
