What are you today?

G’day!

_{What am I today? Let me tell you that, I’M A HAPPY COOKIE TODAY!}

_{Something meaningful happened to me just less than 12 hours ago, a reader had reached out to me and had given a word of praise. Just wanted to give you my deepest appreciation as this is exactly what keeps me going. Honestly, thank you.}

It has been a busy week for most of us I’m sure. I’ve spent most of the week trying to build that shopify shop of mine..dropshipping. (Yes, just trying to build an alternative stream of income for myself while I still have some motivation.) So.. what am I today? I’m a motivated person!

Let me share something interesting with you guys today. My partner has started working in a software company, and she was able to tell me a lot of the things her boss does, how the business is ran (model wise) and I thought some of the things she shared with me could be good information for all of us.

The business mainly revolves around building software and excel spreadsheets for accounting firms. And after she shared some of her boss’s advice with me, it’s eyeopening….though I’m sure these are things that most of us had heard over and over and over again…. but every time when we hear something tell us this, it feels like new knowledge (and it reminds me how much of a lazy POS I actually am).

• WOW! Such groundbreaking news! Right? What I learned (again…) from this is that, sometimes in life, plans are actually what hinders you from success. Wait, what do you mean by that? It makes absolutely no sense at all! What good is your action if you act without a suitable plan? Isn’t that the equivalent to gambling your efforts away?

  No, I don’t mean it like that, I’m not telling you to act without any plan. When we step back and take a deep look at HOW a plan might hinder us…it all goes back to the most primal enemy of mankind….FEAR.

  Fear of what? Oh man…you think theres only 1 thing we fear?

1. The fear of failure

2. The fear of not being perfect

3. The fear of your own incompetency

Hmmmm. Don’t they all narrow down to the same thing fundamentally? Maybe they do, but read them and rethink for just a second, are they really the same? Well one thing they surely share amongst them is that they tell you what you are! Who thinks like that? What thinks like that? A COWARD

One thing her boss said that stuck with me is that, just start it, worry about it later, you will find a way to solve things you need to do because…. you guessed it, YOU NEED TO DO IT!

I’m learning video shooting, editing and other skills I need to promote my store to generate traffic and sales. I also feel like I hit a brick wall every time I come into a trouble I do not know how to solve…maybe this is just the weakness that older generation says about ours. Sometimes I do not want to admit it, but they don’t say it for 0 reason, though I think it’s to make them feel more superior most of the time (since I’m a millennial haha, of course we are “better” as well) lmao.

But does a brick wall matter to me? Or to any of you? NO! Because we are not cowards. I knew what I was, even though I still don’t fully know what I truly am, but 1 thing I absolutely know for a fact is that… I’m no coward. And I’m sure none of yous are as well.

I am 1 step closer to finding out what I am this week. Are you?
