Being thankful!
I realized that while I am going this hullabaloo of improving my life and finding things that are more aligned with my likes and my values, I should be really grateful for all the things that I already have. By my own merit, but mostly by sheer dumb luck, I have been blessed with quite a number of things that I value quite a lot, especially now. I write them out here as a way of acknowledging what they mean to me and also to serve as a reminder that I am one really lucky mallu man.
- I am really lucky to have Lisa in my life. I could never have asked for a more kind and supportive partner, who is patiently supporting me in my own mission and inspiring me by her own life. She has been an unending source of happiness for me and I am sure that I wouldn't still be as optimistic as I am today without her.
- I am grateful for my family. In this I include my parents, my brothers and my close friends, who have all been so supportive of me so far and who have given me the benefit of the doubt and not dismissed me as crazy, at least not yet.
- I am happy for all the things I have added to my life. From French to drumming to Sunday soccer and to the random people who make guest appearances every once in a while, they add quite a lot of color to my life and bring me happiness.
Things done:
- 500m (or maybe more) in the Queenstown's sweaty swimming pool. Judging by how hungry I was after, I think that it was a good swim!
- Applied for a kitchen helper position at Lean Bento, Bouna Vista. Fingers crossed.
- Started working on Stage 1 of my MDS Part-Time Educator application. I am definitely nervous about this application. But I think that's a good thing.
- Bought groceries and had a good cooking session with Lisa. Did my first improvised dal recipe. Not the best... but edible! Major victory!
Lessons Learnt: The world does not exist to make Ryan Victor Lawrence happy. Neither does it exist so that I can make a lot of money, have a big house, or be famous.
I am here to do something to make the world a better place, even if it's just a small something.
