If anything, the first half of this year has taught me to stop waiting for the "perfect time." I'd believe that there's a particular time I can do a thing or that I must have been fully prepared before embarking on a thing or a project, and that's how I do live my life then, delaying things all because I feel I'm not prepared enough. Looking at it all now, it's obvious I've wasted a lot of time trying to wait for the perfect time, for when I'm fully ready.
Also, I'd say I've learned a lot from the health challenges I had back then, and that also has contributed to that change of mindset. The reason being that I've now seen that tomorrow is not always guaranteed, and even if you later find yourself there, it won't always go as planned. So, instead of waiting till I'm fully ready and the perfect time, I make do with what I have. I have today, so why not make good use of it instead of letting it go again?
And ever since then, I've begun to experience peace unspeakable. I simply focus on what I can do now; I don't compare myself or my journey with that of others. Ironically, I've achieved more by not waiting till I'm fully ready than I did while waiting for the perfect time. And that, I'm carrying gladly into the other half of the year...
We all understand how overwhelming, tiring, and frustrating things seem to be these days, with a lot of things to worry about and to ponder on. But then, despite all of that, good news often finds its way into our lives when we least expect it. And when it comes, it brings hope for better days.
Well, for me, the happiest news I've received recently came from my very own family. Last year, one of my elder brothers got married, and this year, about a month ago, he and his wife welcomed a beautiful baby. While we were still rejoicing with him and yet to get over the joy of that, a week later my other brother (our firstborn) and his wife welcomed their own baby as well. Two newborns in one family in the space of a week. Isn't that wonderful? And knowing how challenging pregnancy and childbirth can be, I'm really grateful for their safe deliveries.
So, if there's good news I would love to receive, huh... I'm trying not to be greedy. But it would be me getting a good job with very good pay or receiving a huge amount of money, enough to start my dream business. I actually do not need it for luxury's sake, but I want to live a comfortable life where I'm not disturbing anyone or putting my own burdens on others, but rather to be able to help others. I believe in good news, and I know that it often comes when we least expect, and for that... My hopes remain alive.
