“The greatest wealth is to live content with little.”

Finally got down to some decent scrapping with the girlfriend, Ling, today over at my place this late evening. I was so glad that we managed out some time together to finish up all her wedding ROM items. What's left now will be my bakes and just DIY stuffs the night before the ROM and I reckon 2 months can get pass so easily. 

One of my new work piece for a DIY wedding pen :) Brings a huge sense of satisfaction across whenever I see how many smiles and happiness I bring over to people. It's some little things like these in life that I think makes us truly happy.

I love the quote - "The greatest wealth is to live content with little"

I used to be sucha spendthrift on clothes, shoes and just in life. I never learn how to better appreciate all I have and just spend like a king. I throw away things whenever I feel they aint of any more use to me. Hence, I never realize the monetary value that I've thrown away. It was only till today or rather this year that I began reflecting on self, life and how I am as a person towards family,friends and colleagues. I reckon I had so much more to improve on; the way I talk with people, behave outside, spend, look, think and way I do things. I think I had learnt grealty of how inconsistent as an individual I was. Now as I began to earn my own income and to provide income to the family, I learnt to save and scrimp better. What caught me most was after the lesson learnt on being a spendthrift and end up not be able to prioritize my bills well enough. I am thankful my sister was there to give me a good learning point. I then better learn to appreciate and think better before I spend every single dollar now. I prep my lunches and I will in turn put in more effort as I would want a better lunch at work, I'd think about the breakfast $$ before I splurge, I'd think of how much working clothes I had before I decided to get a dress again, I'd think of how often I hang out before I promise to meet my friends up for dinner/drinks, I began to think that other than a happening life, I could learn to lead a fulfilling life; making every workout count in gym, trying to make a change with a morning run, handling r/s better with people at work, focusing more on work to better do well in them, spending time learning and reading of the country I am visiting this month. 

I think when they say time do change a person, I truly believe cause I felt the change in myself was the most prominent evidence. I no longer felt the same old way I did last time. I do not see r/s as being my first but self,family and work. I place time on more impt tasks and see everything as a learning journey. I see putting myself to talk to my family better as challenge to change. I set achieveable goals and I keep myself discipline towards certain principles in life. I've never felt so great. And my next year 2014 goal is to become even better and to achieve much more financially, visit a new country, learn  a new sport and just move on to the next destination that my work brings me to.I am seeking greater heights and I will achieve it slowly along the way.

Till then,

as we grow.
