  • Having a bad day, huh?

  • Why else would you click into this video?

  • I bet we both could think of a thousand reasons why life is treating us unfair now.

  • Justifying every right for us to hang our heads and feel upset.

  • I feel you. I honestly do.

  • However, today I wanna try something different, something new that will hopefully make a difference.

  • I wanna suggest us--

  • you and me..

  • a cure, a remedy.

  • Something that won't change reality itself, but will change the way we perceive ourselves.

  • And that is very important.

  • So here it is...

  • I would like you to think of three things that you've done right in the past that helped build you up or set you up today.

  • Three things that you've done right in the past that helped you today

  • So I'm gonna start with myself here.

  • And just one for example, ...

  • I worked extremely, extremely hard, and I didn't give up during the hardest time of my life.

  • When not a single person had faith in me at all.

  • But I hung in there, and eventually I pulled it off.

  • And that is one thing that makes me really proud of myself.

  • Something that's worth a pat on the shoulder.

  • Nice going!

  • Now, it's your turn.

  • What have you done right in the past that helped you today?

  • Let's give you a quiet moment here.

  • A few moments later

  • Got one? Great! Write it down. Bear it in mind. Don't forget it.

  • 'Cos this is how it works.

  • You see, for me...

  • I face lots of challenges in my career.

  • There is a lot of uncertainty in my daily work.

  • And every now and then, I do have doubts about myself.

  • I do question my decision-making.

  • Quite a lot!

  • It's okay to have doubt.

  • You see, the thing is, what really matters is--

  • "How we deal with it"

  • So whenever I have doubt about myself, ...

  • I think of that time that I took that leap of faith.

  • Shifting into the media industry with no relevant experience or degree.

  • Wishing upon a shooting star, hoping that I'll have a positive voice in the world one day.

  • Literally, nobody believed in me.

  • Everybody thought I was out of my mind.

  • But I dug in my heels.

  • I worked my guts out.

  • I defied gravity, took off and luckily landed on my feet.

  • Whenever I think about it...

  • it gives me the confidence and strength to head on with what I've set out for.

  • In one way, if I hadn't persisted in doing so in the past..

  • I would probably be wearing the same shirt and tie, sitting in the same office room, doing something that I'm probably not interested in.

  • Instead, now I am talking to you on screen, ...

  • doing something I love, and hopefully making a positive impact in the world.

  • On the other hand, if I choose to give in now...

  • to let my doubts get the best of me...

  • then I am allowing my past to go to waste.

  • The past is the foundation of the present.

  • Everything you are today was built on the things that you achieved yesterday.

  • And by recognizing the right things you've done in the past...

  • you are acknowledging yourself today.

  • And that is pivotal mentality for success

  • So what were your three magical things? Let us know share it down below.

  • I would love to give it a look.

  • As for now, this is a wrap for this video

  • I will see you next one.

  • 'till then, God bless you all and peace.

  • Did I...?

  • Did I not tell you that I have a second...

  • I forgot to tell you guys...

  • For the past few years, I didn't tell you guys that I have a second channel?

  • No?

  • My bad, my bad. Ah...

  • This is like having a secret child, but not making it public

  • That's... that's a bad analogy, but...

  • Yes, I have a second channel, that's right.

  • For the past two years, it's been out already.

  • And this is probably the first time that I'm making it public to you guys.

  • So the thing is I made a different video about this very same topic from a very different point of view.

  • A more faith-based point of view.

  • And if you've been following this channel long enough you probably know by now that I believe in God.

  • And I love to share about my spiritual living.

  • I love to share about in-depth questions about life.

  • And a lot of it roots in my belief

  • In fact, a lot of the ideas I have for these videos originate from my belief, my faith.

  • And so while I love to share about my spiritual living...

  • I don't want to be talking about religious stuff on my main channel.

  • 'Cos you know religion is not for everybody.

  • Maybe it should (be).

  • So I made another channel. And I'm putting all that stuff on my second channel.

  • So if you want to check it out, here is the icon. You can click right here.

  • I'm gonna put it right under my armpit, right here. So that you remember. (What?!)

  • And the video is gonna be here Oh,

  • Check it out, second channel, right?

  • Lots of great stuff.

  • Alright, that's about it.

  • I'm gonna go have lunch

  • Bye.

Having a bad day, huh?
