Day #1185 - Reorganisation

The aimlessness vibe kinda clouded me for a while since the last post.
And I decided that I need to do something about it.
I cannot go on like this, feeling like I need to move forward, but don't know how or what to do, and just get stuck at the same place. 
I must decide what is the next step, and then move in that direction.
Right or wrong, the future will know.
But I must look at where I want to go, and then thrust towards that direction.

I have been diligently meditating in the morning for the past few days, which is a good thing.
Will keep it up.

As for daily goals, I decide to forgo writing it on this space because I hardly ever refer to this blog throughout the day to keep pace on my daily goals. Probably Trello or a notebook might be more convenient and do a better job in keeping me in check.

So for now, this blog will just be a rambling of my daily starts/ends.

Day #1157 - Aimless

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.

So true.

But I don't want to live like this.

Day #1142 - First Half

I have reached the first half of the year. 

It's time to do a review of the things I have set out to do for the year.

I'm quite sure I'm missing the mark on plenty of them. haha..

But, that's all the more reason to conduct this half-year review.

I usually underestimated the amount of time I have left at the end of the night after putting Bun to bed.

Or perhaps I need to be more time efficient.

Things I'm Grateful for Today:

• Dearest cooking the egg breakfast for me the 2nd time!
• Dearest was being observant about my feelings to quickly start work and told me she understood =)
• The feelings of no-rush~
