Took me this long to recover...

Two years ago today, September 26, 2023... I was living in my dream condo.

I handpicked every item in it.

An incredible interior designer came into my life, who precisely manifested all my desires for my space, creating a place I could truly call my own.

I had an amazing time because the area was secure, clean, and I could jog around the Greenfield area.

I also met a lot of good, kind, simple, and cheerful people – from the maintenance staff to the guards, everyone seemed happy.

But, I had to let my place go.

The fault was mine alone.

I didn’t manage my finances well.

I was dazzled by the continuous inflow of money back then.

I lacked the right support system, and my pride was too high.

I didn’t ask for help until it was too late.

The property couldn’t be salvaged.

Along with this, I had to give up all four other properties I had invested in, all because of my pride and ego.

Every time I share this experience with friends and family, they often exclaim, "what a waste!"

I know, but regret is useless now.

All I can do is learn from my mistake, and ensure that I surround myself with people who are better than me.

People who not only know what they are doing but also get the work done themselves—people who “walk the talk” as they say.

Am I still sad? Of course.

Am I still crying? Not as much, since I’ve accepted it.

Does it still hurt losing millions?

Introduce me to someone who wouldn’t be hurt; they must truly have a heart of stone.

Yes, it still hurts.

But as human beings, we can only do so much.

We can only change what we can control, and that is ourselves.

So, since then, I have decided to change everything— from my mindset, believing I can rise again…

To my habits, identifying what’s been working and keeping at it, while letting go of things that hinder my progress.

I may not be a millionaire anymore, but with the financial confidence I’ve garnered from numerous mentors I’ve surrounded myself with

I know with a little more push, I'll get there again soon.

If you are doubting yourself right now, or facing a struggle you think you can’t overcome, don’t ever give up.

Reach out.

Ask for help.

There are many who are willing to help.

You’ve already come through so much

Remember that you might not be there yet

But you’ve come a long way.

Much love ??,

Jan
