A great week passed, and it is autumn now.

Season changes without us noticing. I believe I set myself the goal of saying farewell to each month, but August came too fast. I didn’t even have the chance to appreciate summer a little more. And now, autumn is already in the air.

Autumn Is Here

The month-long rain finally stopped. The autumn breeze feels too good.

The high note of last week was on the first day of autumn. I went for a 30-kilometer bike ride along my favorite trail early in the morning. I saw the sunrise, the peaceful coast, and everything in between.

Mornings are amazing. And I got back to my getting-up-early habit without too much struggling this time. And I was reading a lot again. That was so peaceful.

No Real Low Notes

There wasn’t really a low note, to be honest. Everything feels so peaceful.

If I have to record one, then the low note was probably how reluctant I felt to work on my social media growth. I’ve seen no results for quite a long time.

I started trying to grow my accounts at the beginning of the new year. But seven months have passed, and I still haven’t seen much hope of turning any of those accounts into something profitable.

I wish I could make a living simply by doing whatever I like to do — sharing my life, books, workouts, and all the little things I genuinely enjoy.

But when there is no feedback for such a long time, I kind of just want to quit posting.

The things I naturally enjoy doing somehow became chores once I started measuring the return on effort. They became a means of making a living.

And when I saw no results at all, I started to doubt myself.

Could I actually make it work?

Could living my best life and sharing it with others actually inspire someone?

I don’t know.

I’m not sure from time to time. But that feeling is only a glimpse that creeps in now and then.

Learning to Appreciate Life

Overall, my weekly routine is still very tranquil and peaceful.

Since I know what I have to do, and since I have to keep moving forward every day, I can’t really spend too much time murmuring or brooding over bad feelings.

Life is overall so good to me.

I like how I document my life this way. By doing a little weekly reflection every week, I learn to appreciate life more and feel more blessed for whatever I already have.

It reminds me to focus on living today to the fullest, rather than constantly wondering whether what I’m doing will eventually pay off.

I believe everything will turn out better than my wildest imagination.

Have a good one. Until next time~
