What A Difference A Year Could Make

I used to think a year means nothing. I was skeptical of how much could I change or grow in a year. Now, even a month, matters a lot. The pictures show more.

Pic 1 was me at my highest bodyweight at Oct 2015 VS me now April 2023. But let's look at a closer gap time.


Pic 2 was me last year May 2022 VS me last month March 2023 (10 months gap)


Pic 3 was me last month March 2023 VS me now April 2023 (1 month gap)


Pic 4 was me last year May 2022 VS me now April 2023 (11 months gap - less than a year)


My weight doesn't change much from last month, but my body's proportion and size does change quite a bit. Some clothes that fit perfectly last month, started to loosen up a bit here and there.

Now, even a week matters a lot, cause I stabilized my cholesterol, uric acid, and glucose level in less than a week. What I eat and what I do daily, matter a lot.

I am not posting this here to brag, or to boast, or to be congratulated, and not even to encourage or inspire (but yes that would be a nice bonus, if I could help you to feel the needs to get healthier and live happier).

This is a self reminder for myself, to never take time, life, and anything for granted, ever again. Mastery is earned. Discipline is earned. Everything great in life is earned.

And yes, with so much weight loss naturally (only with maintaining food and exercises, no meds etc) in a pretty short time, I do have loose-skin problem, too. But that's fine, my focus is still on my health side, the rest I could handle next.

I am still far from my goal, but as always,
I'll be there. 💜

Masterpiece

A masterpiece is not only the result of progressing skill sets of the artist/ creator. In my opinion, it is even more to the results of the expanding character and evolving mind of the artist, from time to time. How we grow our wisdom and our understanding towards ourselves and life, matter the most. How we choose to express them, what medium that we prefer, and which skill sets that we will use, will follow later. Art is just one of the few mediums that I chose to explore life, express my thoughts, and to expand myself. To experience life, explore myself, and encapsulated the journey through as many masterpieces as I could, is my main personal goal as an artist. However, being an artist is never my goal. To be a human that understand life, is. And that's how my priority works. Should there be one day for me to leave art behind and work with another medium to explore my path, I wouldn't hesitate even a split second to leave. My true masterpiece will be my own life. --- My work ...

Gratitude

I know gratitude is important and I, myself, have been experiencing the positive effect of it. Yet, not until yesterday, I really witness the real power of gratitude. So, I joined Inalix's team building event virtually, yesterday. I've been managing and coordinating their digital presence and publication these few months. On that virtual meeting, we listened to the history of Inalix, and we get to know almost every members and listen to their stories. One of the newest colleagues that just joined Inalix is Wahid. He was one of the few who joined the event virtually as well. I could see he was laying down on his bed, and I thought he was sick. Indeed, he was sick, but it wasn't the kind of sickness that I thought. His friend who took him to join Inalix, told us his story. He couldn't move most of his body parts; from toes to recently his jaw, he couldn't really move them. He could move his head and hands, but the rest was numb. So, he couldn't munch food, and cou...

Life Is A Never Ending Game

Bear in mind that not everyone plays the game to have some fun or friends, and that everyone has a different definition of fun. Some people take fun as a fair long game or fair wars, some others take destroying the game and beating others no matter how, as their fun. So..sometimes, when you lose to those destroyer kind of players, just remember that the two of you play two very different games for two very different goals. Also remember that everyone starts with different set of cards. Some players will just have bad cards since the beginning to the end of game. Just like life, some people were born with bad set of cards, and of course they normally couldn't really compete with ones who born with and get all the good cards through life. But cards are cards, you could always play it a bit to elevate some points if you know how to play it. The same with life, you could always do something with the cards you have to be in a better position, if you learn how to do it well. And if one o...
