Being content is a choice of life, a thought, an attitude

每一天必经的路,也会因为季节的改变,心情的转换和不同的拍摄手法而显得不一样

‘ How can you be so adapted to your life and stay happy when it’s so routine and dull sometimes?’ Black angel asked me at one of our dinner dates after work.

I dare not say I am a person who knows exactly how to live a great life, but I do know the way to see life in a positive way and the importance of staying optimistic with my life at all times. I do feel bored about my job sometimes and frustration creeps in when thinking about the commitment I have to make due to my job. But there is always one thing I keep in mind despite the frustration, I want to make sure that I have the resources available, prepare myself for my dream and kick start it when the time is right. To be an achiever in life, I have to first load my bullets before going all out for the achievements I wish to accomplish at the later stage of my life. I need some time to settle my thoughts, some experiences to learn about the appropriate ways of being a good entrepreneur, as well as financial support for my living expenses and future business modal. With that in mind, it is easier for me to accept my current routine and be content with the way I lead my life now because I’m gaining something out of it, this means that I’m carrying my life in a manner that is much more than just doing-the-same-thing-every-day kind of life.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that I do not like freedom and leisure. I love travelling to explore different places leisurely and I never restrict myself from splurging in this area. I’m just spreading my hobby over a long span of time to keep a balance among work, loved ones, and hobby instead of pursuing my hobby all at once and taking a long time off for travelling. By doing this, my work allows me to support my hobby, and my hobby allows me to keep motivated and energetic for my job, so they must co-exist and this relationship will balance out itself wonderfully. By doing this, I know I will not regret because I still follow my heart and never restrict myself to only 1 thing at a time. Maintaining the balance is very characteristic of my personality and it matters to me, especially when I have people that I really love and care of, so much that I am willing to find a way to work things out for our happiness, both me and them. It doesn’t mean that I can’t be happy even though I only travel few times in a year because of work, I am still grateful because I can travel with people that I love and escape from the busy world together. I don’t think it’s a sacrifice of my personal will because I gain things from the other end.

To me, it’s always about the thought which will change into thing. Our perception about life affects our happiness and attitude to make things happen. It is okay if you feel that life is dull because it’s not at the best stage yet, but you can’t deny the little bits of awesomeness in it right?  

不是甘于平凡不懂得制造生命的花火,而是刺激也是需要平凡的造就才能衬托出它的不同。


That’s a choice, a thought, an attitude. There is always a choice, and there is always a way to work things out.  My 5 years of independent life makes me a buyer for the saying ‘When there is a way, there is a will’.
