Life is not a destination; it is an ongoing journey.

Over the holidays, my family and I saw a movie that really spoke to
me. The story is about a music lover. He thought that when he
became famous and fulfilled his dream, his life would be completely
different. However, towards the end, he realized that it was still
the same. That was how I lived my life. When I came to the US, I
only had one goal - to have a family and become financially free.
That was what drove me and I thought that my life would completely
change when I reach a certain financial success. Over the years,
whenever I would reach a milestone, I would move on to the next
one, and that continues. I feel like I was in a rat race,
constantly looking for the next one, the next achievement. This
movie led me to realize that life is a journey. It is not one
destination, it is a continuous journey. Because of this, I think I
finally understand the meaning of life. It is living our life,
pursuing our dreams, serving others, hanging out with family, and
having fun, including setbacks and challenges. I realized that I am
not after the end result, but the process and the person I have
become. Why don't we just embrace this journey and be fully present
in each moment? I know a lot of stay-at-home moms and I am one of
them. On one hand, they want to be there and take care of their
family but on the other hand, they have their entrepreneurial
goals. We feel like when we put too much pressure on achieving our
entrepreneurial goals, we might end up neglecting our family. That
is also one thing I struggled with in the past few years - keeping
the balance. Because of that, this is my biggest takeaway this
year: In life, there is no equal amount of time that you put in
certain things. It is about being fully present in each task at
hand. For example, in the past 10 years, the majority of my focus
was on my family. Giving birth to my beautiful children and
watching them grow. Now, as they grow, my focus is on building
myself and my business, but that does not mean I am completely
letting go of my family. It just means that when I am working on my
business, I am fully focused on it, and when I spend time with my
children, I am fully present at the moment too. This is something
that I believe will make or break and take your 2021 to the next
level - when you master becoming fully present in each task you are
handed. This is still something that I am working on too. It is not
a quick fix and it is something that you need to practice. Like
when I was watching a movie, my mind keeps on wandering and
thinking about my to-do lists, and I have to constantly bring my
mind back to the present. I constantly train my mind to be fully
present with each task that I am doing. For 2021, I set a bigger
goal for myself. I used to be focused on results, but for 2021, I
want to focus on being fully present on my current tasks and the
process. I believe that when you focus on the process, the results
will follow.2021 is coming. Do not wait until the new year comes.
Be fully present now and map out what you want to accomplish in
2021.
