Letting Go of the Future to Find Peace in the Now

At the start of every new week, I used to set my mind on goals, plans, and targets—just like I did before the pandemic. But after the pandemic, something changed in me. I told myself: Set yourself free. Live the moment.

We’ve all heard this more often lately—live the moment, be present—especially after going through such an uncertain period. While listening to podcasts and watching videos on YouTube, I asked myself, Why not? Why do I always push myself to plan everything for the future? Instead, I started embracing the present, slowing down, and letting go of constant overthinking.

This shift in mindset turned out to be incredibly beneficial—not just for my mental health, but also for my physical well-being. I became noticeably happier, calmer, and more grounded.

When I compare my past self to who I am today, I feel much more confident. And honestly, that confidence is one of the most valuable things I’ve gained. It makes you stand out, and it helps you recognize your own worth.

So my suggestion is this: whatever you have right now, you are already one of the luckiest people in life.

Carpe diem, everyone

A Mirror is What You See—but Life is What You Reflect

Lately, I’ve realized how much my mindset shapes my reality—just like a mirror only shows what’s in front of it, my life reflects what I choose to carry inside. A mirror is what you see—but life is what you reflect. When you look in the mirror, what do you really see? Not just your face, but your thoughts—your doubts, your hopes, your inner voice. Have you ever paused in that moment and asked yourself, "Do I truly trust myself?" Have you ever taken a deep breath and said, "I’m lucky to have what I have"? Or… do you often find yourself complaining about your weaknesses—the things you believe you're not good at, the things others have that you don't? We live in a world where comparison is constant. It’s easy to feel like we’re behind, missing something, or not measuring up. But maybe it’s time to reconsider. Should we continue to complain about what we lack simply because someone else has it? Or is it more powerful to work on what we complain about? Here’s th...

Embracing Hope, Healing & the Beauty of the Unexpected

Hi, everyone, 2025 is such an amazing year, as we are facing so much unexpected news every day. As humans, our dream is for everyone to be equal, but in reality, we are facing many difficulties, just as we predicted. Anyway, hope will never end, and we will keep dreaming that one day the world will be a much better place, with true equality for all people. Recently, I have been reading This is How You Heal by Brianna Wiest , which can be categorized as a personal development book. To be honest, I find myself rereading some parts to understand them better and more deeply. There are certain words that have deeply affected me, and I would like to share them on my personal blog for my readers. I have always believed that simple things can be much more powerful than we expect — like the butterfly effect. 1) Do something that your future self will thank you for, even it is small. 2) Learn the power of momentum. Start with small tasks in the day and let it build 3) Just for today, let yours...
