    Manifest: Moments of Happiness

    Before shaping my Vision Board and manifesting the life I want, I first needed to make something clear to myself. Manifesting is not about collecting everything in the world, nor is it about living out other people’s wishes. It’s about creating a life you truly want to live—for yourself, not for others.

    Manifest: Behaviors of Our Tomorrow

    After creating your vision board (Step 1), and becoming aware and believing that you can achieve it (Step 2), the third step is to take action toward it.

    The Whale-Tale

    I recently completed a 3D whale painting with sand as a part of our mindfulness art-club, the whale has always been my interest and it inspired me to start planning how to make one of my dreams from “300 Things to Do Before I’m Too Old” come true — seeing a whale up close. Some friends…

  • Manifest: the Vision Board

    Manifest: the Vision Board

    A few years ago, I created a vision board for a five-year period: 2022–2027.It was simple and inspired by Chi Nguyen – The Present Writer. I had six pictures representing six things I wanted to achieve in those five years. So far, I’ve achieved one out of six—haha—not exactly proud to say, but I’m being…
