Since this year began, I have been kind of worried about what´s coming in my second year here in Japan. I have a good feeling though. Deep down in my heart, I feel this year is going to be the hardest but the most creative year of my life so far. I feel the dragon inside. Just like the Phenix I saw in my dreams days before coming to Japan. But my anxiety has grown so badly that I can barely sleep and my ulcer is starting to protest again. I know I have to take it easy, but I have seriously made a promise to my self when I first stepped into the country, that I was going to make it in 2 years. I use to say to my self over and over again, ” If you can keep a promise to yourself, you can do whatever you want in your life. You are proving to yourself that you CAN BE and YOU ARE the master of your life”. I have grown a lot here in Japan. These people have taught me so much about the attitude towards work, and so many other things that come along with it, that I feel the luckiest person in the world.
Today, I came back from work and I stepped into this video on youtube. This guy, like many other foreigners around the world, is trying really hard to make his dreams come true and give a better life to his family. WOW. This really inspired me to keep on moving and trying. He is incredible. He barely sleeps, and he says that if he can find another job he would be happy to take it. He has been through so many rejections, people have made fun of him, he can not even have a loan because he is a foreigner and on top of that, he is iranian, so for every terror attack news, the clients in his bar decreases. What a strong human being!! Hey, have you seen his paintings? I mean, I studied fine arts and I wish I could paint like him!!
