Back then, if you had money only to buy 1 set of newspaper, it would be the Thursday print of ‘The Straits Times’. It has the Recruitment section. We are all familiar with ST Jobs, right? Everyone has flipped the Recruitment section at some point or another. 👍 Browsing through the limited job postings did not provide miserable job-seekers (or people looking to switch jobs like myself) any form of salvation, because most jobs state they wanted ‘someone with relevant experience’. However, an advertisement in the Main section caught my eye. It wasn’t a particularly big or colorful advertisement, but the words “How To Make Life Better For Yourself” stood out. I can’t explain why it stood out, so I can only attribute it to the fact that because I had accepted my ‘fate’, so I felt better about myself and my pathetic situation. Because of this, my mind and my heart cleared enough_____ for me to see the newspaper advertisement. All these conditions made me able to really ‘see’ and ‘feel’ the statement  “How To Make Life Better For Yourself”. In my heart, I felt a tiny sensation that had been dead for a very long time. I know now that that flicker was ‘hope‘. Was it possible for my life to get better? Really? And again, because my mind had cleared, I allowed myself to feel ‘hope’ instead of just pushing the advertisement aside as another impossible in my already swamped life. This is why I stress that you have to accept your life as it is now!!! Stop adding misery on top of misery! You must stop the spiral immediately, so you can open your heart and open your mind!

So my mum and I went to attend this Feng Shui talk, and I was absolutely clueless what metal, fire, water was! Absolute disaster, LOL! 😂 But I remember one thing that this effervescent speaker (The Inspirational Writer)________ said, which was “Take Action!!!”. The Inspirational
Writer managed to inspire even my mum, who spent the next few weeks going to the library to read up on this subject called Feng Shui. As for me, I had to go about my life to earn my salary, but I made time to go buy a compass from a stationery shop. I did “take action”, and today I tell you that at that point in my life, I sent the signal to the cosmic energies that I wanted to take action!
