The final month of the year,
Getting older,
Life’s time growing shorter.
Many things come,
Many things go.
Some things remain true,
Some become mere memories.
Some are on their way in,
Some are on their way out.
But in the end,
Time keeps doing its job.
All we can do is walk through it,
Live well,
And find the utmost happiness in each day—that’s enough.

No matter how skilled you are, sometimes it holds no value.
No matter how talented, if the boss doesn’t like you, it’s tough.
Abilities often have their limits,
And they are often overshadowed by those who are good at speaking.
The knowledgeable and virtuous are sent to the forest,
The bold and capable are sent to the fields,
The honest and hardworking are sent far away.
The ones chosen are simply those who obey.

A mighty tree falls to a sharp axe.
A skilled person is brought down for standing out too much.
If you’re straightforward, don’t be so blunt that you lose your edge.
If you’re good, don’t be so kind that you’re taken advantage of.
In the real world,
being trampled often outweighs being given a chance.
When you falter, you’ll see it for yourself,
because the bullseye at the center
is always the target of skilled marksmen.
For those who are sharp, beware…
you might lose your edge.

It’s easier to stop a dog from barking and walk away than to stop a person from talking.
It’s easier to ignore than to stop a person from speaking.
It’s easier to stop someone else’s thoughts than your own.
It’s easier to look past people’s hate than to stop them from hating.
It’s easier to avoid arguing than to stop others from being angry.
It’s easier to stop yourself from doing wrong than to stop others from doing evil.
Some things cannot be stopped, changed, or fixed. If you think of stopping others, stop yourself first. It’s easier.

Give your heart to those who are genuinely sincere with you. You don’t need to be idealistic or afraid of not having anyone to be with. If you can’t find sincerity from anyone, there’s no need to befriend anyone. Peace of mind is the best.
Reflect on the little things ...

A tree that is well-cared for does not need its roots to grow far in search of food. On the other hand, a neglected tree will have roots that strive to extend far and wide to find nourishment. This struggle makes the tree more resilient, allowing its roots to firmly anchor the trunk, even during storms. In contrast, a tree that thrives due to constant care may lack strong roots to support itself in times of adversity.
Similarly, when people are overly pampered and excessively cared for, they may become dependent on others and lack the ability to face and solve problems independently when challenges arise in life.

When someone is kind to you, don’t trust them completely right away. Build some walls because you might encounter a bad person disguised as a ‘friend.’

Our personal world tends to expand as we grow older.
With more experiences, added lessons, and an increasing number of people we meet, we begin to discover and learn that:
The more we get entangled with people, the more problems we encounter.
The more we give weight to our surroundings, the more it drains our happiness.
When the world around us starts to feel exhausting, it’s okay not to be surrounded by people.
Learn… to be alone.
Learn… how to be by yourself in a way that allows you to find happiness in simple things.
Happiness’ doesn’t always have to come with excitement or liveliness.
Sometimes, happiness comes with ‘peace.
Being still, free from chaos, may be the moment we truly get to be with ourselves.

Mindset…either we’re stuck in it or growing out of it. 🤔

A tree stands alone, yet it grows.
No matter how much we seek encouragement from others, in the end, life teaches us to be strong from within.
Even a tree that gets no water or care will absorb as much as it can to survive. 🌻
No one can encourage us as much as we can encourage ourselves.

Gm Whispers of Light
In the quiet of the morning’s rise,
Where shadows fade and hopes arise,
A whisper calls from deep within,
“Today, my friend, it’s time to begin.”
The sun paints gold on sky’s wide stage,
Each beam a promise, turning a page.
With every breath, the world renews,
And all that’s lost finds paths to choose.
The winds may bend, the storms may cry,
But in your heart, there’s wings to fly.
With faith as vast as oceans wide,
You carry strength with every stride.
So let the whispers guide your way,
Through every night, through every day.
For in the light, both soft and bright,
You’ll find your brilliance, shining light.

To myself,
This week, “I got through the tough times.” ✌️
This week, “I did everything I could.”
This week, “I tried my very best.” 🌻
This week, “I feel proud of myself.”
This week, “I truly thank myself.” 🥰

You don’t have to like the same things I do, just liking me is enough. ✨🍃
ไม่ต้องชอบอะไรเหมือนเราก็ได้ แค่ชอบเราก็พอ ✨🍃
나와 같은 걸 좋아할 필요는 없어, 그냥 나를 좋아해주면 돼. ✨🍃
ไม่ต้องชอบอะไรเหมือนเราก็ได้ แค่ชอบเราก็พอ ✨🍃

All the bad things are just… matters of yesterday.
The past… teaches us to “learn” and “let go.”
It’s not the first time we’ve faced “problems.”
It’s not the first time we’ve felt like we “won’t make it.”
Yesterday… we made it through.
Today… we can get through it, too.
Bad things are not the “end” of life.
As long as there is “breath,”
stay strong and be patient.
Keep moving forward…
and get through the tough times.
New things, new days, and new stories are waiting for us,
ready to offer a “fresh start”…
to make things better than before. 😊🌻✌️

No matter who stays
No matter who leaves
In the end, we are still ourselves…
Learn to accept the truth
That nothing in this world stays the same forever
Whether it’s ourselves or others…
Find your place of comfort
And stay there
No need to ask questions
No need to seek answers
Learn to let go
And accept the truth
That’s enough…. :)

On another note: the aurora borealis looks like it will be making another showing across the USA for the next few evenings (maybe) just in case you’re interested.
