Be the movie

-

How you spend your time is how you live your life.

Cliche. I know

But how many people you know are constantly on Instagram or Facebook or Netflix, 

watching other people's lived lives or watching some fantasy/romance on the screen?

When you could create your own adventure.

Start by thinking how you want your life to be if it were a movie

Who's the hero/ heroine in it?

Who's the villain?

Is it possible that the villain turns out to actually be the good guy?

What did the main character have to go through to make it today?

What obstacles did she have to jump over, crawl through or get the help of someone?

Who's her mentor?

What different endings can you put in the story? 

you know the ones in books where you used to flip through as a kid, 

"Go to page 14 if you choose to see Anna fight the dragons in the dungeon..."

Or "Go to page 58 when you and your friends decide to explore the unlocked door hidden behind the huge painting hanging in the basement..."

The possibilities are endless. 

Just like the way your life can play out.

Live your life. 

Write your adventure. 

First, by stepping away from the screens. 

Go out and spend time in nature, 

take care of your physical health, 

read books. 

Your favourite character in the movies often work hard to build the physical body they want.

Do what the main character in your movie would do. 

Take good care of yourself. 

Keep learning, keep finding your adventure. 

Find other main characters by writing online. 

Take in all of life's beauty. 

Live like you're in the movies. 

Because you're the movie.

I'm a billionaire

Was feeling a little poor after paying off two big ticket items. Went grocery shopping with my boyfriend and this is what we saw. Ahead of us in the queue was an old man. He held a white plastic bag with 2 packets of biscuits inside. He flicked the receipt as he waited in line. He was going to exchange the items. In the basket that he's now placed at the conveyor belt at the cashier was 3 loaves of bread. The cashier scanned the 3 loaves of bread. Isn't it 3 for $3.30? I saw the sign there 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: No, that's not the sign for that one, the 3 for $3.30 is the small ones. Is it? But the sign there put 3 for $3.30. Next time you need to place one staff there to tell people which one is 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: So you still want the bread? No, not 3 for $3.30 then never mind, he sighed as he pulled his trolley that was overflown with plastic bags of items which made his home and walked away. ): Our grocery items amounted to $36.65. I used a $10 Fairprice vou

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stamford Commencement Address --- I'm enjoying where I am and what I do. I hope you find what you love in 2024. Don't settle. Happy 2024!

gratitude for today

/personal Feeling like you made it but you didn't. Still got to give it to myself for making the move. Making the move to quit on a job I was no longer growing in. Making a move to bring my parents for a trip. I'm sitting here in the living room of the home for tonight, an Airbnb we booked.  Bro and parents asleep in the room. I'm filled with immense gratitude we made it. We did it fam. We did.  To the 10 year old Brienne,  look! Zhe Zhe brought us overseas!  And bonus, with parents and bro! To the Bree a year ago, I'm proud of you.  You awesome little piece of shit, I'm so freaking proud of you. The world out there is your oyster Work hard, manifest abundance Go get it!
