I like what I do, and I know what makes me happy

It's taken a long time and a long way around to find out what I like and how I truly like to live.

I've tried so many projects and ideas and bounced between them all in rapid succession. But most were waning and temporary.

I can say now with certainty, I am living the best life that I have ever lived, now, in this moment, than at any time in the past.

So let me reflect on why, so that I can do more of what is working.

Reflection is very important for self-improvement.

I like what I am doing now

Modeling

• Make new, interesting, fun friends
• Intense, long days at work, fully-locked in and focused, feels great afterwards, finished when it's finished, no meetings, very social
• Everything is different, sometimes its for clothes, sometimes a commercial, acting, voice acting, catwalk, or attending events
• Builds personal brand, acts as content you can share with others

Friends

• You need to be surrounded by wonderful, beautiful people to be happy
• I love being social and having this strong network around me
• Having friends and meeting new people introduces serendipity into your life and the chance for good things to happen
• You can learn much more from other people than any book or course could offer, it is 20x more efficient

Weight lifting

• It's only recently that I have gotten serious using the different gym equipment and taking body building more seriously, and wow it makes me so happy
• Not only do you look good and see tangible progress, but you feel amazing too, and it increases social reputation and respect and people ask you for advice
• I enjoy being in the community and seeing the weight lifting content on Instagram, it motivates me and I want to become this kind of person

Content creation

• I've made great connections in the content creation industry and I really enjoy it so far
• I've realized I first need to become the kind of person that is interesting and can create this content, then it will come more naturally
• It seems like socializing with other content creators is the key, it seems socialize socialize socialize is the key to life
• I like having a product or something I've create to look back on, it's something substantial and it makes me proud
• People recognize you from your content and it builds your personal brand and respect
• Creating good content opens up job opportunities, people will contact you directly to work xxx job because they have seen you before on IG

Health

• I no longer have the urge to eat bad or poor quality foods, I eat what I know is good for me and I feel great afterwards because of it
• Cravings only last for a short amount of time, and you mostly don't need to listen to them
• Taking good care of your hygiene, skin care, massage, resting, meditation, feels great afterwards

Adventure

• I need something wild or adventurous in my life to keep me excited and happy
• Random events, climb some buildings, see something cool, having an interesting encounter with someone, experiencing and try something new
• It keeps life flavorful and worth living, it gives you stories to tell others

Self-improvement

• It is good to have an angelic idealist version of yourself in your head and to always be striving to be that
• Don't settle for "I am just this way", no, you can always change and become better, you just need to put in the work
• Since self-improvement is slow and incremental, it's hard to notice the progress , but if you look back many years, you can see how far you've come and that is an incredible feeling

Anime and inspiration

• Life needs to have to it a vibe, an energy, a feeling you're aiming for, and then you embody this
• It's like acting, or being the main character in your own personal movie, you are that character and it's your job to act out your life and create it and have it unfold into the way you want and like
• This energy is invigorating and it's good to keep it inside you at all times
• Be inspired by anime or other sources
• Anime for me is good because it teaches basic yet so simple concepts such as never giving up
• Find that energy that you like and harness it, keep it alive inside you

TLDR

I identified what makes me happy in life and what is working: modeling, friends, weight lifting, content creation, health, self-improvement, anime and inspiration.

I wrote this to reflect and recenter myself to focus on what is important.
