Gratitude and discipline

nothing special so far.

Putting the long story aside for now, I woke up this morning surrounded by beautiful sounds. I live in a house in a neighborhood full of nature.

Big trees always stand behind my bed. The blue sky — even when it's gloomy — makes Vancouver’s summer feel perfect and makes me feel alive every day.

I don’t need to win any blue ribbons here. I just let myself flow with the rhythm of everyday life — and that’s enough.


Of course, I’m looking for my first job on this continent, but I’m not trying to rush things. Everyone has their own perfect timing, and I believe everything happens for a reason.


"Waiting for my time and enjoying everyday life by building my own routine."

"Creating my own discipline."

This has been my recent motto. Don’t rush — just stick to my routine: study, work out, eat well.


You know what?

It’s pretty hard to stick to discipline every day. Many of you probably already have your own rules in life and can relate to what I’m saying — it’s hard to keep them.

We’re human beings — which means we sometimes make mistakes or skip parts of our routine.

If I don’t wake up at the exact time I planned, I try to move on to the next thing instead of giving up on the rest of my routine.

We can always restart — and that’s the point! We’re not perfect beings.


And… yeah! This is how I live day by day, without suppressing myself. :)
