This message came up for me while doing my morning meditation.

Yup, okay, I got the message.

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!

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

Habit

What does it take to make a habit? I've been thinking about how I got into the habit of writing daily. Days when I had nothing to write but I'll sit in front of the laptop and let the words flow from my fingers to the page and then I just stopped writing I saw the number of readers gone up and that scared me. It was supposed to be a private space for me to share my thoughts It was also a space to help educate if I could.  Share what I know and if just 1 person benefitted from what I've shared,  I've won, I thought. The fear of letting my words be read stopped me from writing how ironic isn't it? but this isn't about that How did I build my writing habit again? I used to love writing so much, I wrote even on holiday!  It was my sacred time, time alone, time spent with my thoughts, time I felt invincible Why did I forgo this writing habit which I so love?  and how do I get it back? I'm hoping reading my own writing will help me get back to it. ---- If you'
