You’re Good Just The Way You Are

March 18, 2025 lcscarlett957

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Let’s see….

I would say the best compliment that I have ever received was from my mom and from a special friend that I’m getting to know….

They saw them some of my flaws, like sometimes I’m lazy a little bit. I can be a little bit too shy. I bet stubborn, but i’m always kindhearted and want the best for people and treat everyone with respect that they deserve.

But a bad mental habit of mine is that i’m too self-conscious of myself.

I put myself down a lot with negative talk.

But I appreciated it when they complimented me. Even though I changed physically or mentally, i had to remind them that I wasn’t doing anything else but for myself.

They still say that don’t let another person change you,” because I am already great and appreciate me for me just the way I am.

Before I would change recovery would say them someone, it’s something negative for me or be so self conscious that I really don’t want to express who I am to other people because they won’t accept me.

The compliment was just a great reminder that I can still stay and remain true to myself.

Dear Future Me

March 10, 2025 lcscarlett957

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

Dear Future Me,

How’s it going?

I would like to know what’s in your life right now.

Hopefully you are always grateful and thankful to God, for letting you reach your millemum peak.

By then, I wonder how’s your family, if you had a lot of kids and have a close, trusting husband that you love and be happy for all the time that you are married. Hope you fulfilled your ambition of travel to parts of the world.

Are there any moments in your life that you like to note down, funny, serious, unbelievable, unforgettable moments?

Did you reach good career and personal goals that helped you?

Is there any change in the world that far in the future?

Are there flying cars, is the environment better or worse? What’s going on socially with the brand new generation ready to take over?

This is your younger self, just wishing you the best, and making sure that you look back and said “Yeah, I had a beautiful life.

Hopefully, there are time machines so I can hear about it.

Sincerely,

Your 25 year old self.

Perseverance

March 5, 2025 lcscarlett957

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

One recent apparent failure that has set me up for future success or set me on the future path would be when I failed one important.

Let’s say it was for a postgraduate option trying to help improve my knowledge and with my career earlier two years ago, and I was a bit devastated, well more than devastated, when I failed, didn’t really feel more confidence in myself in lost more even self worth.

So I gave up, but then I started to take a break and then look forward, and I learned a few things, a few skills took a step back and re-evaluate the situation. And here I am again willing to give it another because the worst thing isn’t giving up the worst thing is not trying as much and learning more as I can.

Water, Fresh Clothes & Mind

March 3, 2025 lcscarlett957

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

3 objects that I could not live without would be…..

1. My Handy Water Bottle

2. My favorite clothes to keep me warm

3. A good book that can always keep my mind fresh

Water because it helps me survive, which keeps me hydrated and is accessible anywhere for free.

I’m always grateful for the clothes that I have, so that keeps me warm, that keep me centered.

Yes, I was wondering when between a book or a phone, which would I rather have. I chose the book because with the phone or any electronic device, it has a time limit and runs out….

A book can never run out… when it is just an endless capacity of knowledge.

Priortize Needs & Save/Invest More

February 17, 2025 lcscarlett957

Write about your approach to budgeting.

I’m still learning even as a learning accountant of my budgeting format. But I kind of changed it from the usual 50/30/20 with Needs, Wants, Savings.

My format now is a bit a flip to the format….

It is more like 70/20/10 format.

Oh, now I’m trying not to spend too much on my wants like pointless stuff that i won’t use after one time. And more on my needs and being satisfied with what I have for a good specific amount of time.

I’m only putting items that I want for personal growth, only for emergencies or if it is absolutely necessary.

This focuses on more to investing and saving a good portion than spending too much on what I want. Because it’ll help me more in the long run, and i’m really focused on in the short term and towards my future.

Law for Alcohol

February 12, 2025 lcscarlett957

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

If I had the power to change, one law would be to put more restrictions on underage drinking public and private.

I think it’s because of seeing the news and seeing documentaries and even seeing in public view of how youths are succumbing to alcohol or drugs in this generation.

Which I found really sad…..

I mean, they have their whole life ahead of them and I understand that it’s anyone’s choice whether to consume any drink or food that they want, but responsibility would have to be in order around here.

I feel bad because it does affect your future in both a physical and mental way negativity.

People find it as an escape or just to loosen up or relax. So I think more responsibility should be in play.

Big, Safe, Comfortable Represents Me

February 11, 2025 lcscarlett957

Write about your dream home.

I haven’t really pictured what type of house would I want to live in the future?

Because I didn’t really have any ambitions…

However, recently, with my new mindset and new focus, I have pictured a couple of structures that will make a good home for me.

I would live in a typical big house, square foot over 4000 ft that is a little bit bigger.

That will have like a big kitchen, 2 to 4 bedrooms, some extra space for some of my hobbies like fitness and exercise.

I would have a big driveway with a spacious garage, so I can park at least 2 to 3 cars…

I would love to have a swimming pool or just like a big yard, just to relax. I will also have a big living room like an entertainment system.

And it always was a bit of a dream of mine to have a fireplace. You know, because i’ve always thought they’re very homey and just relaxing.

Be Grateful & Thankful

February 10, 2025February 10, 2025 lcscarlett957

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

I would always thank God and be appreciative of any good news that would brighten up my day, week, or future.

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget to express gratitude…

But with a change of focus and mindset that I have started to take these past months, I will always be grateful for any bit of good in my life 😊

At any moment, Everything Changes

February 4, 2025 lcscarlett957

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

Significant life events.

Or how time passes by so fast?

Makes me really believe in the saying, live your life to the fullest.

Well, one event that changed everyone’s perspective will see the pandemic that happened in 2020.

I mean, my whole perspective about how social events are really talking to people.Well, really impacts the quality of life.

It was a little bit lonely, but it was precautious for everyone to stay in their homes camous. Keep their distance and make sure that everyone’s safe. Well, the world is dealing with sickness that spreads around like wildfire.

Even with the passage of time, it’s really shocking….

How you just blink….and time is just passed you by….

It makes me want to cherish every moment, every story, every interaction, every once in a lifetime event.And it’s everything that I see with my own two eyes.
