In this episode, Ronah Maturan, a close friend of mine, joined me in sharing things about going back to basics, counting back to zero-- starting over again in 2 aspects in life-- career and dating.

No one talks about how hard falling out of love is. you feel guilty, cold; you wonder how you could or why you feel this way, but it doesn't change the fact that you feel nothing when you kiss him. it feels wrong, and you're so afraid to hurt a person that you still care so much about-- a person who looks at you as if you are the reason the stars shine at night.

I keep seeing this and I want to talk about it. Productivity is NOT always completing your whole to do list, or studying till late night or waking up early in the morning. Sometimes, it's just getting up and having breakfast and not doing anything else. It's okay to take a break or just do one thing. This whole toxic culture of productivity that has become common is not right. Of course, that doesn't mean slacking off everyday, but it also doesn't mean beating yourself up for not being productive enough. Life is hard and you're making it harder by pushing yourself down this way.

Moving away from home is considered a milestone in one’s life, an event that clearly marks the stepping out of childhood into maturity and designates the beginning of an independent, self-reliant life. In this episode, Gee, a friend of mine shares his experience in living independently. Once you move out of your parents’ house, you will have the liberty to make your own choices and enjoy the lifestyle you’ve always wanted for yourself. However, you will also have the responsibility to provide for your own needs, to find a way out of every difficult situation you encounter, and to create a life for yourself that is vibrant, progressive, and genuinely fulfilled.

I used to put everyone else's requests and needs first and if there was any time left over at the end of the day for what I needed and wanted to do, that's acceptable.  That is until I began to realize that if you and I are going to be  effective time managers, we have to stay away from allocating our time  solely on the basis of those who demand it. Instead, if you and I are going to be effective time managers, we have to allocate our time on the  basis of those who deserve it.

I’m convinced that what hurts us the most in life is lack of clarity. It’s the not having closure, always wondering, being confused part of the bad things that happen to us that destroy us. Because when we don’t know the answer to something we really want to know the answer to, we can’t stop thinking about it.

Life has a way of making sure we end up where we need to be, but we need to be ready to embrace the opportunities that come disguised as barriers. If everything was in our control, we’d probably miss a lot of opportunities for growth that exist within the healing from a bad experience.

Are you looking around the terrain of your life wondering, “How did I get here? Is this where I want to be or is this just where I ended up?”

The sheer panic drops down on you when you feel lost and confused.

"Ah, man.  I made a huge mistake. I’ve wasted all this time. How could I be so stupid!"

Sounds familiar?

Congratulations! You rock!  This is awesome! What great opportunity you have now!

In this episode, Nicole To-ong, a friend of mine will share some key concepts in betting on ourselves! Despite the global slowdown due to COVID-19, our world is moving faster than ever. Many who haven’t adjusted to that fact, and worse, are not aware of that fact, will find themselves years behind the diligent and motivated minority when the dust settles.

This podcast episode is your wake-up call. It is a call to action. From this point forth, your overwhelming goal, rather than holding a steady job or saving enough money for your next vacation, should be to become irreplaceable.
