This is how it all started…
Why did I make this blog? In a world where we are often judged by how successful we are, how much money we have and which luxury car we drive. The societal pressures in this day and age for our young generation is crazy to setting a standard to seek wealth, fame and status.
The reason I started this blog is to define my own “rich and successful” life. A fancy car would be great but not necessary; having a mansion is a dream but not practical and fine dining sounds delicious but only temporary. All of these things are great in the grand scheme of things; however, if they do not align with your values and priorities, then you are chasing somebody else’s life.
This is my definition of a rich and successful life. I want to have a nice house of my own, not too big, not too small. I want to have a job that allows me to help others and gives me the purpose of getting up every morning. To have a job that makes enough money for my family and me to live comfortably without worrying about financial stress. I already have a working car, but in the future, I would love to have a bigger car to go on road trips with my family. I want to have a partner who has morals and values that can align with mine, who will respect me and my values, someone whom I can have children with, that we can laugh together; and cry together, and someone who challenges me as a person but is willing to compromise and work through tough times as a couple. I want to have a healthy family, I want to show them the world and travel together, to create experiences and make new memories. I want to achieve all these things without publicising it to the world. I don’t feel the need to show off my life like an influencer. I don’t need to post every memory on Instagram but savour it instead in the moment. That’s my rich and quiet life. Anything more is a bonus.
The mission of this blog is to redesign your life in a way that makes you happy to live by it. Strip away all the external factors, the pressures from society, parents and friends. Ask yourself. In five or ten years time, what type of life would you want to come home to? Ignore all the noise and expectations; what truly makes you content with life? Your version of rich and successful can be completely different from the life that I mentioned above, and that is okay. You need to remember that life is hard no matter what situation people are in. At the end of the day, you do not want to regret the decisions you make because you were chasing someone else’s dream and life instead of yours.
