I like keeping things simple. Live in the moment. I have goals and I strive towards them but I don’t try to control things I can’t control or worry about them. I am quite methodical but that also means I focus on one problem at a time. It takes a lot of time to make progress but its also a permanent solution. Some people like my mom get annoyed by how much time I take to move on.

Havinga routine has helped me a lot. Its simple convenient and I make sure I can make changes if there are any obstacles. After living life on hard mode for a long time I learned that there is no reason to complicate things for yourself when you can do it the easy way. Its not a very stimulating trait but its working for me. I think the saying is- “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!”

In the past I used to worry about pleasing others a lot, especially family. Now that I understand that nobody really cares about what I do as long as I am a good person (and don’t shame them publicly), I have been able to shift my perspective. I am able to make the time and put my focus into things I can perfect like recipes, language skills, writing skills, photography, exercise and many other hobbies of mine. It also gives me plenty of “me time” which I use for introspection and thinking. Keep it simple! Cheers!
