Back to Ikigai: Doing what I am good at and doing what I enjoy.
Looks like the thing that falls in this category is writing. I will continue writing my heart away even if it means I am writing to an audience of one.
Basically, I write because I am the conduit to Big I. I write so that whatever comes to mind gets to manifest itself rather than vaporizes into thin air.
I am a Wordsmith Warrior. I am part shokunin, part samurai. It is nice to know that I can continuously write for hours on a daily basis. Writing, in this case, is a spring that flows from my mind into the repository of my blog.
It is pure indulgence. As I write, I am panning for gold nuggets. I am looking out for morsels of wisdom that I can add to my collection of gems and jewels that I mine from the depth of my mind.
Does the writing have to make sense? Definitely not. I just enjoy the idea that I am a creator instead of a consumer. With words, I shape my world. It could be a world that only I can appreciate. Doesn't matter. This is my world. I am responsible for my bliss and torment. Within these words lie my heaven and hell.
I am so glad I hardly use money. For so long I am dependent on money to bring me happiness. Well, that kind of happiness is fleeting.
Eating for example is nothing more than converting food into energy. Usually, I eat junk. I realized that if I eat at home, I eat quality food. Best of all, it doesn't cost me a cent.
*Tha[t']s (Thanks) to WiFi, I don't need to go to the movies.
* I have been wanting to watch Mulan, now I just added that into my collection.
Oh books, no need to buy anymore. I have so many books I can hardly read. For every book, I save RM50.
I am a marketeer's worst nightmare. I don't spend but I consume. All that for RM89 per month. Even that the speed is only 30 Mbps. No need for excess.
This is truly living in the eye of the tornado.
