You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Reflections


Have you ever had one of those times where you feel like you just needed to express something but you just dont know what? My previous entry was one of those times. I was trying to type my entry while the room was noisy and my cousin poking at me and showing his smelly pillow at me every few minutes. So I hope you understand that the lack of personal depth in that entry resulted from the lack of privacy in doing my reflections.

I dont even know how to state the importance of reflection. I have learned to reflect everyday to make sure that I learn not make the same mistakes that I did in the past. This year is filled with so many distractions and disappointments that I have to ignore in order to focus on my goals. It has not been easy and doing it alone with my mentor so far away is not easy as well. As mentioned in my previous entry, this year I become reacquainted with some special friends and it was a wonderful experience seeing them again. Some of you might think that I have a lot of friends so I can always confide things in them. If you think that way, I must thank you because I regard it as a compliment. Having friends is an accomplishment because it requires you to like people and be liked. Your friends will most definitely be people you like so it is the same with them.

However for me, that might be true in certain areas but there are some things that I can be dying to tell but I cant because of the other persons beliefs and thought processes. There were some times when I ignored this and allowed myself to let out some information that I was hoping they can understand. But I always end up regretting because that person is not ready for what I am about to tell them. This has happened many times and I must try to trust my instincts more next time.

I wish that I can tell everything to just 1 person. Everything, personal and business, no restrictions whatsoever.

What I gathered from all this is that people are all different and this includes your friends. I must admit that I have overestimated many individuals before and it is in this area that I cant change. I have a natural positive expectation of my friends and specifically people I work with. Is it so wrong to have belief in someone? I might end up disappointed but then I thought what if the other person matches my positive expectations of them? Wouldnt that lead to more success?

I am the way I am today because of what different individuals has said to me before in the past. Some of what they say might not even be true and that it only exist from their eyes, but what they have done for me was that they were able to uplift me and made me feel good about myself. Think about it, how many times do you feel good about yourself while growing up? I dont even remember because for me, it didnt happen much.

So now I am used to people sharing their opinions because opinions are free so people give it out readily, sometimes in more dosages than tolerated. What is so important now is to be the person that I have always wanted to be, not the person that everyone wants me to be. I have moved on long ago so dont try to hold me back.

If this is not the Noi that you like, I am sorry to disappoint you.

I have to do what I do now because I know that when I am in difficulty, I know that no one can help me but myself. Absolutely no one. The only difference between you and me is that, you dont realize that you are in the same exact situation.
