Knowing What You Wanna Do In Life

"There was a scene on The Makanai, where Momoka, the senior and star of the Maikos, said that she actually thinks that she is born to be a maiko and that she couldn't imagine doing anything other than that in life.

There was also a scene on The Road to Red Restaurants List, where the owner of a legendary Japanese ramen restaurant who was already aging and has no successor, said that all he wanted in life is just to serve a delicious ramen for the customer, even if that means he has to wake up early every morning during the summer and maintaining the temperature during winter to create a good texture of ramen.

And there was a scene on the same series that shown a conversation between a daughter and a father. She told him about her wanting to continue to beauty school instead of going to college, and how her mom opposed it. She asked her father's opinion, and he said something like this; "It's been a long time I feel like I have no interest in anything (and how life feels empty that way). You have found what you love to do, I think you should do it. I understand why your mom opposed it, but I will support you."

Those scenes feel so warm and close to my heart. To have the freedom to do what we love, everyday for the rest of our lives, and to be able to make a living out of it, to me, is the best kind of life.

To live with the flow, and to be in the flow."

"I mean, how many of us feel so excited to wake up in the morning cause we can't wait to start working, and feel so excited to go to sleep earlier unless tomorrow is a holiday and we have some fun plan to do?

We all know, we can be anywhere, doing whatever that makes other people envy, but unless we trully love what we do and truly proud of who we are, we will always envy everything else and feel empty."

Now

H ello. You are on my Now page and these are the things that I'm currently focusing on: - Healthy, balanced, and mindful living is my first priority now. - I was hospitalized for a month from August - September 2022. Some viruses attacked a part of my brain and brain stem which causes imbalances on my motoric gravity, plus I had a gout attack for the first time in my life. My infusion had to be sewn on my neck cause the meds need to be inserted through the central vein for three weeks straight. I promised myself to never be that sick ever again, and determined to change my whole lifestyle, including to prioritize myself, my health, and my peace first. Since then, I have lost 22kgs, have been maintaining my uric acid level below 5.5, manage my cholesterol level down to 146, maintain my normal fast glucose level at 85, and been eating, exercising, and living healthier, plus doing so many changes in life including the way I sleep and raising my water intake level. - Creating intentio

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. - ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting my intention through owning my artworks , reading my writings , and following

10 Things We Don't Buy Anymore As Minimalists

10 things we don't buy anymore as minimalists, and few things that we still buy to replace the old ones. 1. Physical Book Not only physical book takes spaces, most of the physical books that available here are also outdated and strongly curated. We can only grow when we learn to understand different perspectives and see things from different angles, even from the one that we might disagree with. To read the same books that everyone reads and only cater to certain perspectives, certainly won't help us to grow. We also have to get the latest knowledge and facts to get better results in everything. I find e-books fill those needs ad gaps better for me, while my husband choose audio books, lately. 2. Perfume If you should, you won't need more than one bottle that will last for 1-2 years. 3. Physical Music I use Spotify. 4. Coffee Machine & Refill 1 French Press and 1 manual dripper do the works well until now. 5. Souvenirs We don't buy for ourselves, and not for othe
