ok, so i don’t know who here believes in tarot or oracles or things like that, but i have a friend who has a very high intuition. and the reading she left me with before coming out to japan has been coming true left and right.
the one thing that stood out to me the most was how much the element of fire was in my reading. and i can definitely see that in the person i am currently growing to be.
- learning to take no bullshit.
there is not enough of this mindset in the world. more often than not, people stay silent because of fear of what might happen instead of what possibilities there are in speaking up on things they don’t like. just, don’t settle for less than what you deserve and do whatever you can so it doesn’t steer this way.
- drive toward your goals.
don’t give up so easily. i am currently in the process of applying to other jobs that will allow me freedom of flexibility and to live wherever i want. it’s not the most fun thing in the world to do and takes up a good amount of my time to do them well.
but, will the possible outcomes be worth it? yes.
will the long term freedom and flexibility be worth it? fuck yes.
- try everything you want to so you have no regrets about it.
i like teaching, yes. but i learned I don’t like to teach kids in face to face settings.
and mind you, i was very close to quitting my job here in japan before i even truly started a week of teaching due to how horrible the working conditions are. but i didn’t actually try. it’s now nearing the end of the trial week, and it has just solidified all the thoughts and feelings i had about the school and the working model. i am leaving at the end of the month, if not sooner.
if you don’t see things through even just for a little bit, you will never know and only wonder.
i want to believe all of us have a fire within that constantly drives us. but has yours actually been ignited yet? have you wanted something so bad you will do whatever it takes to get there even if it’s hard and all the hurdles are thrown your way?
because if there is one thing i learned in this past year, it’s this.
what you do today, will be reflected years in the future. you might as well try everything you can, and as best as you can, to forge the lifestyle you want.
