Discover

September 2, 2023

While my LinkedIn is full of certificate achievements, I am taking a break to discover what hobbies do I have, turns out a few. And it hit me.

Learning should never stop. But you should take a break once in a while and shift your focus to something you haven’t tried before, something you haven't done before but thought of doing it "some other time" not particularly something that makes you happy (everyone talks about doing things that makes you happy, duh) but something new that you think might make you happy.

Like painting
or fishing (boring but still)
or meditation (I tried mantra meditation and it brings peace)
or rank high in counter-strike (or any other games, chess perhaps)
or plant/grow something (Succulents are best friends, as per my best friend)
or learn calligraphy
or learn sign language (it is pretty easy)
or learn how to tie knots (for survival or for when you’re in the woods)
or create or find a new more soothing alarm tone
or try avocado
or go off the internet for 2-3 hours a day (like literally, no internet)
or organize your closet/desk
or watch space documentaries (UFOs are real, no kidding)
or above all, this is the right time to adopt dog(s)

The world has a lot to offer and we certainly haven’t tried the majority of it, how can you limit yourself to say that my hobby is reading a book? No, Karen, it’s not. You’re following others like baby ducks follow their mother. Or like the lambs. Do lambs follow? I don’t know, but you get my point,

Discover your thing.
