What is your definition of success?

This post was written in en

This post is a response to my blog post. I am answering question #1: What is your definition of success?

For me, success comes in various parts.

One of the greatest ways to find success is to first love yourself and being happy with where you are in life but always looking to grow. It comes down to whether you feel comfortable with yourself. Not feeling comfortable under your skin is truly the worst feeling ever. I've felt this for a long time and it takes so long to feel better. Feeling better about yourself helps your outlook on life.

Then everything else will fall into place. Remember you have been successful.

Success is something that continues to evolve. You evolve.


Deeper-Level Questions to Learn About People

This post was written in en

It's currently 1 am in Nebraska. I got bored, so I asked ChatGPT the following question.

Hello! Can you provide me 100 questions to learn more about people? Deeper level questions.

I've been thinking about asking people different questions. These can be random people, family members, friends, colleagues, etc. I'm more of a listener.

I also thought why not ask myself (or others) these questions and write about it. So instead of waiting for the New Year to start a new habit. Why not start now? I haven't blogged as much lately so this will incentivize me!

I will find a way to answer these questions. I will do my best to do it in order but I'm okay with jumping around!

Ice Skating (and I didn't fall)

This post was written in en

I went ice skating for the first time in years. The last time I ice skated was back in Omaha. It's something I don't do often but I've been having an itch the last few years. Living in Downtown San Francisco, there's an Ice skating rink at Union Square that I pass by all the time. It's been one of those activities that I tell myself, "I need to do this before they tear it down!" I keep pondering everytime I pass it, then I forget because I have to get to my destination.

This weekend, I finally did it! I went with my friend Tim, who was visiting for the weekend. Why not do something interesting with a friend? I was very happy that I went with my friend!

My biggest achievement is I didn't fall on my face! I kept my balance.

The lesson I learned from this is to simply do something and not ponder it too late! I need to get into the habit of doing activities on my own (and make them into artist dates). I just got to do things and enjoy time with myself.
