A note to self

Hey diary

How are you?

I know I know, I've been silent for a long time. And there is no excuse for that. People say that they are busy, but one can never be busy for what he wants to do.

So I informed my book launch yesterday on my Facebook, and got a bit satisfying result. I also started my fanpage yesterday. It was a good day :).


In the next few weeks, there will be PR and marketing and advertising for my book launch. And there will be more things to release and I'm ready for the next step. Yet I don't want to get lost into these frivolous things. Before going further, I feel the need to note down something.

- Remember to keep my words straight, honest and sincere. I become who I am now as people came and supported me, so remember to treat them like friends and be grateful. I owed them that.
- Remember who I am, what my values are, and what I can give to those in need. Remember to work hard, to be humber, to serve for a higher cause.
- Remember to enjoy the moment and cherish life. Let things come and go, let only peace remains.

So, keep things simple:
- Wake up early and continue to work hard. There is no reason to stop working once I'm done with the first book writing.
-  Keep reading books for 20 pages a day.
- Keep writing 1000 words per day. See how other people start to expect from me more, so think how I can serve them more.
- Jogging is good for my health. Elizabeth Gilbert, Stephen Kings, Murakami Haruki and many more I don't know had proved how jogging and running worked for their minds and body. I need to follow the path.
- Pray and meditate. And thank god every day.


Yesterday I met a very interesting guy, a travel blogger. What he told was amazing. He had pretty awesome ideas about blogging and making a living with that. And I felt it's pretty cool if he can do that, making a network between Vietnamese travel bloggers, supporting each other, making us live comfortably from blogging, and inspiring more people to travel. So why not.

But working on ideas is always a big part. I feel people around me all are struggling to do the same thing, quit their jobs, work for themselves, living well. But very few managed to do that.

Why, the question struck me. Not working hard enough, I can say. It's non sense to say: I'm busy so I can't do that. It's a big lie. There is always time for doing anything we want.

I have worked persistently and diligently for the last six months to finish my book. And I had a full time job during that whole time. If I continue like this, I can achieve any goal I want. Otherwise, being sluggish and lazy will bring me back to the starting position.

So, next challenge coming up. Work for myself. Serve more people. Experience a bigger life.

I'm filled with love.
