Life's motto

Write down your life's motto.... 

I used to found this sentence during a school orientation program or on a job application form. And I would be very confused about the answer. I never really have a motto for my life.

But, I think I've figured out my motto after more than twenty years alive. As a person, I like challenges and would try some things that I've never been involved before. The result somehow leads me to amazing moment, great experiences, and I could possibly meet interesting people.

So, i think, my first life's motto is "Never Stop Trying".

What, there are second and third mottos? 

Well, yes. I just found it recently. 

Number 2, "Conquer Your Fear"

Number 3, "Make Every Second Counts"

The past two years has been weird and I learned a lot of things. And in the late 2018's, I thought about things that I wouldn't do for a while or I won't do because I'm scared, or I might get disappointed.

But, then, I realized, if I stay like that, I won't grow. I should try again and take risk for whatever result will come. I have to conquer my fear.

At last, now, May 2019, I already listed things i've had done that scares me. It related with my mental health, personal life, and a big decision this year that will influence my future. I won't spill out the details, hoho. 

Then, "Make Every Second Counts". I often thinking about the future or about the past, but in the end I understand that being present is very important. Time flies really fast. I'm growing towards adulthood, and this year i'll be 24 years old. My parents growing old. My friends also grow, some of them come and go. Few of them can't stay and I have to let go. Well, that's life. 

So, I need to be present. Everything that I do in the present moment will affect my future. I have to think twice, or more than twice. 

Meanwhile, the past can not be change, but the past enable myself to process some lessons. I should stop being overthinking about things that I couldn't change. I may made some mistakes in the past, but what will shape me and improve my growth is my present decision towards the future. This may sounds easy peasy, but it's quite challenging. Whenever I drawn out or in lack of focus, I need to remind myself, Make Every Second Counts, zi. Life is only for a while, and time is ticking.

Let's make time not as an enemy, but as a friend.
