How to lift your spirit when you are down

Each of us has its own monster that is eating us. It could be a failed relationship, it could be your work, it could be your friend, it could be your studies, it could be anything! With so many issues, often times we feel so down and helpless that even reading so many motivational articles or watching self help videos won’t help.

We are all unique. What may have worked for others may not work for you. Most of the times, we know exactly what we need to do, so basically you don’t really need to look for inspiring quotes or whatsoever. However, even if we know what we are to do, we just cannot do it. Why? Because it’s human nature to stick with what we’re used to.

Sometimes we blame other people when things got messed up, sometimes we put the blame to ourselves, and ask why? It is me? Am I not doing enough?

I also have my fair share of mistakes in life, I blame other people and most of the time I blame myself. But you know, blaming doesn’t help anything. It just put you in a misery. When your road becomes darker, turn on your headlight. There could also be a curve at the end of the tunnel, so take precautions, drive slowly. In life, there are so many events that could happen that you get confuse and don’t know what to do, stop for a while, check on yourself, turn on your headlight. Your headlight is your optimism! When you have it, you can go miles away, but don’t forget you need a gasoline, so carry your confidence, and make sure to bring with you your driving license. That’s your smile.

I’m a crazy person, i thought that by doing skydiving I would gain confidence, I would feel that I’m brave, and all those positive spirits, but I was wrong. It’s not something you can pick up just because you did something what others believe to be extreme! It’s all in the mind. If you change the way you think, everything around you will change! Always look at the brighter side.

You probably have so many detractors around you, remember, you cannot just control the way other people treat you. Let it be. Stop living your life in the judgement of others, why worry if you can choose to be happy? Stop wasting your time worrying about what other people think or treat you. Go out of your house, feel free. It’s your life. You are the driver of your own life, so whatever happens, it’s all up to you. Keep moving forward.

A new journey

Lately, I’ve been so unproductive. I cannot believe I spent so many weeks thinking of the best way to quit my job. Having such good relations to my boss took me 3 months to get the courage to finally tell him, hmmm.. I’m moving to Spain. I thought of so many probabilities that could happen but I was completely wrong. He is such a nice person! He fully supported my decision and now, I’m kinda excited to start planning ahead.  I have so many on my table that I don’t know which to prioritize first. The 1month summer school to India – the visa. The Czech visa too. Documents I have to fully accomplish for Spain. My work! My studies – still have two exams left to do. This week is going to be hell for sure. But that’s okay, I’ll make sure I’ll have the best get away. I’m thinking of going to Czech Switzerland. It’s almost Spring, but still cold not chilly! I always wanted to go to that place but Lasko keep pushing it back. Hate that man!

This weekend, I went for a sweet escape from my busy life.  Guess where? It’s in Salzburg. I took the long hour bus ride from Prague to Munich to Salzburg. Inspired by Sound of Music. Seriously, I was so ecstatic when I saw the Mirabelle Garden, where Maria and the Vonn trap kids were singing Do RE Mi Fa So La Ti Do. It’s beautiful but not as lovely as my favorite Schoburrne Palace in Vienna. I also went to the castle – I forgot the name. Another best part of my Salzburg is no other than North abby! Another filming location of Sound of Music.

Another amazing place I visited was the Hallstatt. It’s also another favorite of mine, next to Germany’s Bavaria – in fussen where the Neuschantein Castle lies. It’s scenic and peaceful atmosphere makes me feel at ease. It’s really a good place to unwind. Now, here I am, cramming to finish my project to be able to participate in the exam on Thursday. Got tons of work to do. But I will give all I have to do it. I just love working in my company. The people there is the best. We’re like a big happy family.

In fact, they are my family in Czech Republic. Being with them, is definitely one of the best thing that happened to me. I’m glad I met Tomas, if it wasn’t because of him, I would have been in France, then, I wouldn’t meet my awesome family in Brand Embassy. See, things do happen for a reason. I hope I will have great friends when I move to Spain.  It’s starting a new. I want to keep chasing my dreams.

By 3^rd week of July, I will settle my accommodation and finalize my study structure and hopefully I will get a 1 week volunteering in Switzerland before I go to India for a month on August. By September 5, I will fly to Spain. Oh, I also look forward going to Inbound 2016 – where I will meet lots of marketers. That will be my first time going to New York.
