Hi coffee lovers, life lovers! I am Earl and this podcast is a world of confessions from nobody (that's me) which aims to share spectrum of feelings and inspiration that are reflected in the works of letters.
Being selective in choosing your life partner would gather a lot of insecurities and pressures from the people around you. You would feel bad by trying to trim down all your options because of the standards you impose in looking for the best person you would like to spend the rest of your life with.
Is it a bad thing or a good character?
Check out this podcast and let me know what you think.

When I am in a delayed and unfair situation, I always say to myself, " This too shall pass" and "tomorrow is another day." There are reasons why things happen, but some things are meant to not be understood and known, that there are things that you know without knowing why and how you know it.. It is normal to feel dissapointed sometimes. You are just perfectly fine. Feel that quench of being a human. You feel pain and regrets because no one is exempted.
How will you appreciate happiness if you never experienced downs in life? You will not enjoy the stars when the sun is shining.

Growing up is not just about learning and celebrating milestones. Some moments in life make you feel like you are unworthy, helpless, and do not deserve much of the space in earth. But let me tell you three things I have learned about growing up and how I conquer the giants in every situation.

You hurdle, you cry, you make mistakes, you have your wrong choices and detours you have set for your end. We sometimes blame Him when we lose someone in our life. We outburst and get mad at Him with stern voices when things didn't turn out as our plans. We blame Him, with no hesitation. You thought God will lead the way but you didn't see him in your secret battles. You kept on figuring out how it turned out that He couldn't be sensual to appeal to your senses in your battlefield.
But He said, "You have to walk by faith, not by sight". He will not make you at ease during your battles, you got to strive harder. You have to get wounds and heal yourself. In fact, if you really want to see God do his best work, get in trouble.
Joel Osteen once said, "Every unfair situation, every delay, and closed-door are not setbacks; they’re setups for God to get you to where He wants you to be."
We get to see how God works through our unique experiences with him. Some of these can be painful or extra special but we should always see all walks of life as something that can give us light and a path to get to know Him better. Only in this way we can understand that life is worth celebrating.
All your days of wandering and discovering life are the days God invites you to walk with Him to fix you, sustain you, make you certain, be rested, and make you continue life with faith and wholeness of heart in kindness and humility.
Our greatest trials in life are the mercies and blessings in disguise from above. Keep moving forward God's powerful champions!

Believe me, all the hard work, the late nights, and the stress will bear the best life you truly deserve. When you start exerting your effort and devoting your energy to the task of discovering your better version despite the seemingly countless defeat you have had in the past, then you have just begun embarking on a journey towards your dream. It may not feel worth it at the time, but everything will work out for the best. Problems and battles are just stopovers to where we probably get going ahead. Don't worry, you will get a little closer to your dream in a few years' time, and you will jump over a hurdle in your way, by keeping yourself reminded of why you're chasing this dream in the first place. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

There's more to it when we lean towards the right people who can help us learn about the know-how of life and how we can get out of our confusing hours. Independence does not mean being alone and lonely. Independence is the courage to be our the frontline of our own path while allowing other people to support us and back us up.
I have learned that we must invest in people and improve our relationships with the right ones more than anything else. People may teach us the best lessons in the most challenging and most painful way, but there are always these people who will be our best support system. Thanks to these people who make our world a little brighter and less scary.

Lifeworks hand-in-hand with two contrasting moments that make up who we really are and who we thought we could be. There are moments of unexciting and complicated experiences and moments where you see yourself taking a leap of change to be better. But the gap between those moments does not say much of dwelling with undermining your potential and your willpower to step up. The gap otherwise is a space to see dimensions of the most genuine form of getting to know yourself more in the middle of pushing through and giving up, during the moments of in-between probabilities and ordinary days. Choose the one that brings you all the feelings you would like to have. Start feeling good and enjoy all the remaining sparkles and glitters within you no matter how hard or far it would be, never let your light flicker out.
Allow yourself to believe that you are worthy however it is way too early or too far away to do it really. The actions that you take every day provide a bulk of evidence of who you are and what you believe about yourself. If you want to become someone new, you need to take some actions, live with it, continue building a good system of magnifying the gap between success and failure. Motivations do not rely simply on how your workplace, home, or school is keeping you sane, motivations are always rooted in how you set it and how you want to prolong or continue it.

I entered this year with uncertain feet, without any direction, and you leave this with more scars and losing battles.
I let go of fighting this, of trying to overcome this. I let go of being the failure who couldn’t pull it together, who couldn’t get the victory. I let go of holding God responsible for not “fixing” this. I let go of the doubt that this is all in my head—that you need to think harder or smarter to get over this.

People stumble in life because they want to validate their conviction with the whole world. We want to experience the best this life may deliver but we also want to stay liked by everybody. To live is to share moments with someone but that does not give you any amount of survival if you are just dependent on someone's approval. Sometimes you have to learn and get through things on your own to live. Instead of asking somebody "Do you like my new outfit; what can you say about my new room; do you like me or my decisions in life; are you proud of me?" why not ask yourself "Earl, are you proud of me? Earl, do you see me as someone who deserves a space in the earth?" and answer.

When I first started working out and saw the effects I was hoping for, some strangers on social media initiated discussions with me that I had never experienced before. Those who had previously refused to even try to land the Hi-Hello startup over messenger were quite active in showering me with accolades and supportive comments. Some flirted with me, while others were just having fun. It was overwhelming at first, but after days of comments and anecdotes, I began to believe that I was completing the remainder of my journey in order to gain validation and a positive impression from others.

It is a slice of heaven to see and enjoy the beauty of sunrise and sunset, but have you ever thought of appreciating the middle of the day?
We are always fond of getting certain on the beginning and the end of almost everything without realizing that the process, the half-painful, half-happy, half-contented, and all the mixed emotions lying to where you couldn't figure things out, goes exactly the right path and time.

You are not a hopeless case. You standing firm by your scars. You are not excess or a less soul. You are a strong human being fighting a leap of survival every day. You are becoming more clearly you every day.

Growing up entails aiming for contentment and a good heart while remaining content. Don't go through life frantically trying to turn the hands of the clock backwards. It is possible to wish for the best life imaginable while appreciating the small moments of your days. Work at your own speed, keep on track, and improve your interpersonal relationships. What matters most is that you are a contented, loving, and striving human being.

Humble people value giving, from choosing not to be that proud mouth who talks a lot of themselves to having understanding ears to listen, from critically examining what’s wrong with the situation to seeing nothing but the best in people, and from being that jack-of-all-trades mind to knowing there’s more than just looking ourselves through the eyes of many to set a mirror within us to make others see their beautiful self in us.

Hearing this story from my friend made me realize that We sometimes lose ourselves and we need to accept it. But do not bar yourself to go around with a living instead of dwelling with the ghost of the past and the murderer of the future. Life fails to be perfect but never fails to be beautiful. Life is complicated, but you can always choose to be happy. Your purpose, hopes, and every piece of your aspiration must always be rooted in how you see yourself growing and getting better. Do not lose yourself just because someone needs you, just because your dream requires you to do it. Do not just let your entire life revolve around your job or studies, your cruel past, and your fear of the future. You are more than that. Live your present life, always choose yourself, take a break, and do what pleases your soul. Do not let the pressures of the world overpower your pursuit of happiness in the present. It’s time to save yourself by loving yourself even more until you found someone who values the same thing.
