Second Chances

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

If I had a million dollars to give away first of all, that would be great. And I would bless and thank God.

But I would give it to those people who could have a second chance.

People’s journeys come to a standstill, and they don’t know what to do. The most important factor in any place is having money. So you can do what you aspire to do.

Not a lot of people have that.

For instance, like homeless people who lost everything. But still want a second chance at pursuing their dream and having the ability of a good income to be okay.

Like convicts that have done something wrong, horrible even due to their previous circumstances and have suffered the consequences. They’re in a dark tunnel and don’t have the light when they’re released back into society. It’s good to help those who are looking for a second chance to help, not only for the public, but also for themselves and become part of the working environment.

Like helping the people who need financial aid in their higher education, because money is always an issue when trying to pay off a student loan or trying to pay for tuition. So you can try something new or something that you wish to be. It’s a good stepping stone to make sure that they’re truly financed with the learning opportunity to grow to begum the next generation’s good leaders.

I’d like to give the money for those type of people who deserve a second chance.

No Need to Be Perfect or Control

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

As a kid, I wouldn’t say I was too pressured.

But I did not get the grades in the subjects that my parents approved of….

There would be harsh and negative judgment and that caused me to put so much pressure and be hard and critical in my own self-reflection.

So much so, when I got a bad grade like a C or B- in grade school to college. I would cry for an hour and say such horrible things to myself. I would want to control the outcome and when things didn’t go my way, it would feel like the end of my life.

Like…I’m so stupid, Why can’t I get this right, I have no brain 😔


The instant experience or action that led to a change was in 2024. When I was depressed for a couple after I failed a big exam and others passed. I put such a comparison and felt stupid because it was a familiar subject and I couldn’t remember from college after the pandemic.

Then my brother told me to take a trip for my self-care and get into a new environment and erase everything and live in the moment.

So I did, it was the best decision. It was like a refresh and when I got back home. I googled what I can listen to for self-care and change. Because I was not in a good state of mind, I decided to focus and start a lifestyle journey that I am still continuing.

My first 2 podcasts that helped me so much even today.

  • Mel Robbins
  • Jay Shetty

2 Quotes that helped change my thought process and still help me today.

I may not be perfect, but I am worthy – Mel Robbins

Mel Robbins discusses in her podcasts, in a lot of episodes that chasing perfection is a trap that prevents true progress and acceptance of oneself. 

I took that into account because I am a people pleaser and it was for other people I needed to be perfect, and set an amazing standard that I didn’t accept myself, no one can be good or excel at everything.

The externals will never be perfect, and the goal isn’t perfection. Life is not going to go your way. You have to go your way and take life with you. Understanding this will help you be prepared for whatever may come – Jay Shetty

After hearing that on many of his podcasts episodes with experts I psychology and human behavior.

I really sat with myself. Everyone’s life has its ups and downs and you cannot control everything in life, you can only control yourself, your actions, and make yourself happy.

I am still reminding myself because as I go through the stressful and bad times, I forget. So I just write it down and remind myself what I can control and grateful for.

Distress and Flexible

Describe your ideal week.

My ideal week….

So far nothing is perfect, but I would have a good week if these things happen…

At the start of the week on Sunday, I would pray and get ready for church. I would sing songs, dance, and just enjoy myself. And then, as the church ends early, I just come home. Relax and prepare for the week. I think maybe look up some new recipes and just laugh and maybe go for a Sunday evening, walk.

For the weekdays.

I would wake up to wonderful nice sounds in the the start of monday, no stress, I would meditate and pray.

Then I’ll just get ready for the day. To a nice morning routine, maybe some new habits to try out. Then I would go out to the gym or just stay in for a nice workout session and just be around calming energy and hype myself up for the day.

Then I can eat some yummy, healthy breakfast at eye meal prepped, or I made just for a bright start to the day, and go on a a nice walk

I would always remind myself to repeat good affirmation before I start work.

That’ll be my mornings throughout my week.

The lunch would be the same, but each day I would do something different. Maybe a new habit or walk around a new area and be involved in the community.

I would choose one day out of the week may be a Wednesday or Friday to do a hobby for myself in the evenings.

At work, I would love to be involved in events with my coworkers and like build new connections. Have a nice productive day and never feel like I’m behind.

Once a day, I would like to improve myself and maybe learn something new for the day. So it doesn’t feel like time is just passing by.

Saturdays, I would just wake up and reset from the week and try to clean everything. Just get through with the hard stuff and then in the afternoon, just relax, maybe we go out and just breathing some fresh air.

I would like to go out in the afternoons. Maybe to go for it’s like a simple walk or a movie or any show or any activity that I can make a memory.

I get settled in and come back from a nice Saturday and just pray to start the new week on Sunday better.

Each week moving forward, I would love for at least one or two things to get better and just look at life.

Mix of Morning & Evening

What’s your favorite time of day?

My favorite time of day? 🤔

Well a couple of years ago, it would be a different answer…

But now I do love the mix of mornings 🌄 and evenings 🌆

Now that I have added a morning routine with some tips of:

  • Making my bed
  • Drinking a glass a water when I wake up
  • Adding a skincare routine
  • Exercise (HIT, Stretch, Pilates)
  • Good Breakfast

Love when the sunrise hits and I see a hue of beautiful colors.

For evenings, I like just shutting off from work and relaxing freely.

Look back at the day and drinking some tea and reading a good book and eating a warm dinner.

Plus evenings help to:

  • Plug out of work mode
  • Set yourself up for tomorrow
  • Warm dinners
  • Good kickback entertainment that brings a smile
  • Read, relax and reset
  • Do something for yourself

Silence….No Drama Good Books….Meditate

What brings you peace?

Silence and nice sounds in the morning give a sense of peace

As a quiet person who now realizes a good part of “The Let Them Theory” and focuses on myself more to just live peaceful.

I don’t get involved in people’s issues, problems, gossip, or rumors because that brings a headache on its on.

If people speak about me…Let Them

Don’t try to control people or anything because it’s more peaceful.

Meditation and reading a good book are methods that bring me peace.

Just not thinking and relaxing and putting my mind into learning something new and not staring at a screen gives a good peaceful mind.

A Little But Can Be Different

Was today typical?

Well, it’s a typical summer day when the sun is shining, but a little bit different…

As before I would not have woken up so early to exercise, trying to get motivated by going for a bit of a walk and having a little bit of a proper routine.

It’s a bit typical, but sometimes I’m trying to work on adding a little bit of new activity or mindset each day. Either learn a new fact or do something that I haven’t done before.

For instance, I never really went for a walk in the morning, even though I was a little bit inside, I stretched my legs.

Also never really spent outside, mostly since I have a hybrid job, but I’m trying to spice up the typical day.

Unique…but Reasonable

How would you describe yourself to someone?

I would describe myself as quiet but unique when you get to know me.

Sometimes…I can be creative or have a mental block.

Passionate about different projects, good news, media, and a lot of rare things to show and look back on.

I’m empathetic, and respectful because I am not quick to judge anyone until I get to know them on a comfortable level and layers for me to let go to show my true self.

I scare easily and am fearful…But I was born in a wonderful faith with a respectful religious background which I always remain humble.

Sometimes I show too much passion, especially for sports or topics I love…

I have a bad habit of overhinkjng and stressful, because ai wnt things to be perfect or fix things easily and too nice.

So I reflect a lot on myself and always try to grow in any way I can.

Can be lazy…but responsible and always loyal to my loved ones because inside that I am still working on, I care about other people more than I do myself.

Quiet, Unique, Simple but Passionate and Caring

That’s Me and I’m still working to be better 🙂

Take a Break & Journal Your Thoughts

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Mental Health is something I did not consider important, until 3 years ago I got wiser and had a lot of personal factors….something that took me to a very low point in my life and I didn’t know how to get out.

So I just thought and searched online what is something I can do to improve my mornings and not feel depressed….

And some strategies that I found out…

1. Try and make a routine to help lessen the load. With mornings and evenings.

2. Add small healthy habits slowly to help your mental and physical well-being.

3. Exercise although tiring and hard at first can go a long way and helps…

4. Don’t wait to start something or learn something new just do it.

5. Meditation and time to yourself is a very important factor that is healthy to add.

6. Journaling your thoughts, fears, aspirations, anger, joy, sadness, and happiness is a good outlet to release stress 

7. Planning out meals brought a new joy and improved my mental health because I don’t feel the need to rush or stuck in confusion.

8. Take a break during the day…too much time on one or multiple things will lead to burnout.

I am still reading and looking at some more good advice to add to help me but I still keep on trying. 🙂

Certain Things That is Inevitable

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

Everyone is Going to Pass On

  • No one is immortal, we are all just living our lives until the time that we are gone from this world and pass on…

    Knowledge is Around Some Corner

    • No matter what age or situation you are positive or negative. At a random point in time, or multiple times throughout the year anyone learns something that helps us all grow…

    Creation of Money is Good and Bad

    • Money is one of the most important factors that has changed the world for the good and bad.
    • Good: It’s essential to obtain many things for usage
    • Bad: Can be corrupted in more ways than one….Plus taxes

    People Change People

    • One thing that I know for sure is that as all of us are growing up and interacting with others whether it be your family, friends, teachers, or a stranger on the street, or a nice driver sharing their wisdom. People grow especially from other people with learning something new or being inspired to do something.

    Nothing is Perfect

    • Sometimes people have good days with the biggest smiles and all things fall into place like the yin…But no matter what happens there is going to be a yang where a person has their downfall and goes through rough times. It’s just in balance. Nothing is perfect.

    No One Can Be in Complete Control

    • It’s hard because everyone expects things to work out the way they planned and nothing can go bad. Wrong. There is gonna be a factor in any situation that a person cannot control. But they just adapt and plow through…
    • You cannot control others…no no matter how much you want them to change. You can just let them be and let them decide what they want for themselves

    Constant Change…Everywhere… Anytime

    • No matter at any second, things in the world, a country, a nation, or a single person can change in a snap…

    Time Moves Fast

    • Time is quick…speaking as we are in July of 2025. Half the year just blows by in the blink of an eye. Don’t waste it, go for anything you want to do and live out your life so you don’t look back and see days or years full of regret and sadness

    Help is always needed

    • At any point in time, a person’s always going to need help whether it be from online, whether it be from a coworker, a random person on the bus, a family member, or somebody close or a friend. It’s always going to be at one point hard on one person to take, so it’s good to ask for help.

    Mistakes Happen

    • Everyone makes mistakes….it is unavoidable. That’s ok. We just learn from them and the consequences.
