Lessons Learned & Gratitude

LLG: Learned today that I was not alone to think the anime for Heidi has the best cheese scene. Learned that according to the Builder Profile, I have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Also learned that I need my weekly dose of outburst of emotion. Movie watching is in the works.

Thankful for my blankets that keep me wrapped in warmth, the childhood anime that I grew up with, my love for food that started from a 2D anime, YouTube workout videos, and the daily goals that keep me going.

LLG: Quotes from Tony Robbins that stuck with me: “Don’t should all over yourself,” “All management is the management of promises,” “Best way to get something done is to begin.” Learned that I’m most alert at 5:30am-10:00am. I’ll be trying a new morning routine that involves working out and less time with technology.

Gratitude goes to TED talks, action, emotion descriptors, self-awareness, and clearing the way.

LLG: Learned that I need to get my butt in gear re: vision board. Continually learning Korean 5 minutes a day. Consistency is key. Also learned that I enjoy solving problems pertaining to food.

Gratitude goes to Mark, who trained me well as building captain when there was a drill at school, loose leaf exercise worksheets, rented library books, autopay, and hot drinks during cold weather.

LLG: Learned it’s about time my pause and rest stages of my life is over. Learned that October is a good time to put things to action. Learned I’m still lost in darkness, but that’s probably due to overthinking. I need to figure out how to jump out of the plane again.

Gratitude goes to being trilingual, my continual interest in learning new languages, duolingo, drops, and talking Bout culture. #tumblr

LLG: learned today that gardening is not for me. Learned it’s about time I visited Ptown to check out the new buildings. As much as I love food, learned that I rarely dream about food.

Thankful for a coug win, the message behind #3, Spotify Playlists, uncashed check, and making someone else’s dream come true. #tumblr

LLG: learned that I need to set small goals for everyday. Learned that eucalyptus oil calms me down fairly quickly. And lastly, learned that I need to work harder to live life outside of my digital identity.

Grateful for Amazon prime, newsfeed full of support for survivors, library card, ability to read others’ stories, and the decision to put the #StopKavanaugh case into an FBI investigation. We’ll see what comes.

LLG: I had plans to visit the library today to get work done. Instead, I spent most of the day watching, listening, and reading the Kavanaugh hearing. People say anything on the internet is permanent, but so are yearbooks and people’s horrific experiences they had to endure all these years. I learned that everyone has their own version of truth and whether we can truly know an absolute truth is a mystery. I learned that in order for a cultural shift to occur, we all need to come out of the fear and darkness. I didn’t end up getting to do anything I wanted to do today, but in return, I gained new insights for the movement of gender equality, #MeToo movement, and #WhyIDidntReport.

Grateful to have witnessed Dr. Ford’s hearing–her courage and strength, to hear of others’ stories near and far, the new episode of This is US, the pilot episode of the New Ámsterdam, and the emotions I got to feel all throughout the day.

LLG: Biggest takeaway I learned today is that it’s not about finding our passion, like it’s hidden and we need to go search it– it’s about developing our passion. Today was about de-cluttering my Chrome files. Skimmed through over 65 articles I’ve bookmarked and found 3 sites to be shareable: Coffitivity.com (do you go to coffee shops to get your work done since you need the background noise? well, this site has recorded coffee shop background noise lol). RescueTime.com (this app will calculate how much time you spend on what sites/apps in a day). Bubbl.us (free online software to mind map).

Giving thanks to Joanne for her insights, the will to get unstuck, my organizational skills, my savings, and the small wins. #tumblr

LLG: I learned today that I CAN be the person who I want to become. I learned that being there for those that can use my wisdom, skill, or life experience is what keeps me going. Finished watching the blind auditions for the Voice and learned that I want to have a loud enough voice that can encourage others to turn their lives around.

Thankful for blue skies, new found trails, my two working feet, my eye sight, and the encouraging words through my ears as I listened to music on my walk this afternoon. #tumblr

LLG: Learned that duolingo, lingo deer, and drops all has it’s pros to teach me Korean. Tonight’s episode of 911: is the phrase “come on up to my room” a learned behavior? I instinctively thought she was going upstairs to see a guy. It turns out it was her boss, and she was supposed to do a presentation. As an employee, especially as a women employee, where can we draw the line? Should she have texted back to say to meet her at the lobby? I think the most important take away of the episode is that it’s not what you strive to do and the dreams you wish to accomplish, it’s really about if you feel like you’ve lived your life to the fullest, and if not, why not? You’ve got one chance to live. Natural disasters, earthquakes, anything can happen tomorrow. Would you have spent your day the same way if you had known you had one more day to live?

Grateful for safety, a roof over my head, photographs to remind me of past moments, Sean’s check ups, and knowing you’re reading this post.
