In a world of colors, vibrant and bright, I dip my brush, and my heart takes flight. With each stroke and swirl, the canvas sings, A symphony of joy, like butterfly wings. I mix and blend, the hues come alive, In this wondrous dance, I truly thrive. The sun's warm kiss, the ocean's embrace, In every stroke, I find my place. In the realm of art, I find my truth, A world where dreams and passions soothe. With every creation, my spirit soars, In vibrant colors, my heart implores.

Have you heard about Kintsugi? Exactly, I don't remember when I heard about it for the first time. But it's not a new word for me. I only know Kintsugi as a Japense art form of repairing broken pottery. Invented around the fifteenth century. The broken pieces will be collected and join with mixing or dusting with powdered gold. It can be reused and it's safe. It looks so beautiful.

But recently, I found a philosophy about the Kintsugi.

"Your broken places make you stronger and better than even before"

P.S. This attracts me more than the art work. It reminds myself. When you have a scar in your life. That portion of you make damn stronger than even before. This really happens to me. Also, Kintsugi teaches that even if it's a broken piece or we think it as a waste. It can be reused and make a magnificent piece of work. So everyone trust in yourself. Even if your broken. Collect all your pieces of broken heart and stick together. Make it more beautiful with golden lines and live a wonderful life.✌🏻

This quote serves as a gentle reminder that even when we make choices that seem wrong or lead us astray, they can ultimately guide us to the right places in our lives. Embrace the notion that every experience, whether perceived as positive or negative, holds valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Instead of dwelling on regrets or what-ifs, shift your perspective to see these moments as stepping stones on your unique journey. Trust that life has a way of guiding you to where you're meant to be, even if the path may be unclear at times. Embrace the beauty of serendipity, and be open to the possibilities that arise from unexpected turns. Remember that growth often comes from moments of discomfort and uncertainty. Cherish the wisdom gained from your experiences, and let them shape you into the resilient, courageous individual you are today. As you navigate through life's choices, trust your intuition, listen to your heart, and have faith that even the detours can lead to extraordinary places. Embrace the beauty of the unknown, for it is through these unplanned adventures that you may discover your true purpose and find moments of profound joy. So, dear adventurer, let go of the need for control and surrender to the serendipity of life. Embrace the magic of unexpected journeys and the hidden treasures that await you along the way. 🌟✨

What Are The Strategies to Discover Yourself?

Many strategies can help discover yourself and find out what is important to you. Here are a few ideas:

Reflect on your values: What are the things that are most important to you, such as your family, your health, or your career? These values can help guide your decisions and give you a sense of purpose.

Explore your interests: What are the things that you enjoy doing in your free time? These interests can give you clues about your passions and what you might enjoy doing as a career.

Set goals: Setting goals can help you focus on what you want to achieve and give you a sense of direction.

Seek feedback: Talk to people you trust and ask for their honest feedback about your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth. This can help you understand yourself better.

Take time for self-care: Make sure to take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. This can help you feel more centered and better able to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Try new things: Stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new activities can help you discover new interests and talents.

Journal: Writing in a journal can be a helpful way to process your thoughts and feelings and gain insight into yourself.

Remember, discovering yourself is an ongoing process and what works for one person may not work for another. It’s important to be patient with yourself and try different approaches until you find what works best for you.

Whatever the motivation is, dangle that carrot (goal)🥕 in front of you to keep you moving forward. It doesn't matter the reason as long as there's some forward momentum happening.👣👣

Eventually, you will find your path🛣 so keep fighting through the pain😫, It's only temporary compared to the long-term effects. I promise you that you won't regret investing in yourself to receive what you deserve (happiness)🤲💖🥰

Sometimes you have to be your own hero coz no one is coming to save you😣

FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE!!! The world needs heroes(you) right now🦸🏼‍♂️🦸‍♀️ (we're fighting a spiritual war that we're not even aware of)

Don't give up yet! Stay strong! 🫂💪🧠🫀🙏🙏🙏

Finally getting somewhere in my life after so many years of falling down. I got sober, got my associates as of this summer, and am starting dental assisting while waiting to get excepted into dental hygiene. Sometimes you fall a million times and ‘waste’ a lot of time just to finally get to where you want to be, because without those hurdles, I wouldn’t be and appreciate where I am today.

Making Waves.

While still not sure What direction I want to head

I'm 100% certain The one I'm going now

Is infinitely better Than the one I was going previously

While I'm not entirely happy with it There's always options

Where before, after a while, I wouldn't have had any

What Are You "Supposed" To Do?

When I was in high school, my friends and I would talk about college and our futures. We would discuss what majors we wanted and what colleges we wanted to go too.

We all thought that the only way you were going to succeed in life was by getting a four year degree. People who went into the army or community college were losers who weren't going to make it.

I laugh to myself now thinking back on how ignorant we all were. We were all teenagers who lived with their parents and only experienced part time work. How did we think we knew what success meant?

But we were influenced by the public school system. Teachers teach you that the only way to succeed is by getting a four year degree. Because that's what they did and that's the only way they know how to be successful.

I think teachers are academically smart but have hardly any intellect outside of that. Starting a business, owning property or taking any risks is something that they know nothing about and would not encourage you to do. Even though that's how you actually make a lot of money. All they know how to do is get into a lot of debt for a degree so they can work for someone else.

So I partly attribute teachers for public school students' ignorance about success. There are so many ways to be successful besides a four year degree, such as starting a business, getting a trade or joining the army.

I ended up going to community college and getting into a serious relationship with a blue collar worker. I loved community college and my boyfriend loves his job. My college was small enough that I could get around with ease and I was able to get close to a lot of people! If only I knew when I was a teenager that I would be in the position I am in now and would be very happy. I didn't get a four year degree nor did my partner and we are okay!

Ego is the killer of happiness. Doing things just to appeal to others erodes your soul and diminishes your quality of life.

The majority of people follow the crowd and do not question what their thoughts and opinions. This is because people have herd mentality and fear that if they do something different they will fail. I do not blame or judge these people because this is a very natural thought process. Humans are tribal animals so we don't like to stray away from what the others are doing. But it usually doesn't help you to succeed or live a life true to yourself.

But I am happy that I went from the ignorant teenager who looked down on those who strayed from the norm to a happy woman who loved going to community college.

Life is so much bigger than you think and the options are endless.
