Work

One of the silliest things I have done in the past six months was trying to get an OpenAI subscription for free. It delayed my use of a better tool. I had already found a way to pay for ChatGPT, even arranging overseas bank cards for it. Yet I spent more than 100 days trying every way I could think of to get a free month instead. By the end I was worn out and had lost sight of why I wanted to subscribe. I finally paid yesterday, because I had grown tired of Gemini and wanted the tool, not the bargain. Once I paid, it worked immediately. I had thoroughly trapped myself…

Tomorrow is Monday, and I no longer feel the urge to retreat. I can look at work more calmly now. Whether it is easy or hard, whether I chose a distant workplace or a nearby one—those questions matter less than the real problem I need to solve.

I have a dream, and it feels more real and compelling all the time. I am gradually seeing that I have ways to change the things I want to change. If I want to wake early, I can sleep early. If I want to lose weight, I can eat well. If I want to speak more languages, I can practice. If I want to be healthy, I can exercise…

It begins with a firm intention. And I believe God has blessed me too!
