"MAYBE IT'S TIME TO REST ON OUR LAURELS."
--
Pandemic has brought up a lot of things I need to heal through, and this is one of them: the idea of the "perpetual achievement". Sound familiar?
We glooorify it. What you did today is good, yeah - but what about what you'll do TOMORROW? You'd better be going higher, stronger, faster - never stop, don't you dare. Post the next ig picture. Generate tomorrow's tiktok content. Hope for likes. Touched the sky? Blow a hole through the atmosphere and torpedo straight on to the next burning star. The you from yesterday? We don't know her. We're better. Upgraded. V 2.0.
I've been living my life like this for years now, but the past 2 years have forced us all to BE slowed down and re-evaluate.
Don't get me wrong. Ambition & achievement are wonderful. (There are certainly many more things I want to achieve, and much coming up that I'm going to be sharing with you guys. Never stop dreaming.) But dreaming becomes a problem when it turns living into a nightmare, because you can't stop trying to put distance between yourself and yourself. Stop being the shadow you are continually trying to win. It's EXHAUSTING. Aren't you exhausted? I am.
So maybe the truth is this: that we were put on this earth to do ONE good thing with our lives. ONE properly good thing.
And maybe that's winning a great Waterloo style battle, or achieving a certain dream. Maybe it's finishing one great performance. One great thesis. A beautiful painting. An espresso magnum opus.
And then - we let that be enough. And we rest on our laurels. "Greatness" does not have to be continually proven. Likes are transient, clout & remembrance fade. Do what you do because you love it, and it is good, and it fulfils you. If when your day comes to an end you can say "I did this one thing to the best of my ability and it was good" - that is enough, hero. Be at peace. The bards will sing of that one deed. The song will be equally wonderful without infinite stanzas.
So rest on your laurels, goddesses. You've earned it.

Here's another story for all of you... in honor and celebration of my late father and hero, whose happy-go-lucky, cheerful and humble personality was the highlight of my childhood. I was so lucky I got to live with him in the last year of his life, as the assistant manager of an oil palm estate in Teluk Anson. Living with him, I learned to ride the gardener Ayya's Raleigh bicycle twice my size, was best friends with Kumar, Storekeeper Maniam's son, and life was simple and beautiful. My Papa learned to speak Tamil so he could communicate with his workers effectively, lovingly and respectfully. And they LOVED him so much, they would cook the yummiest food for us almost every day. The evening my Papa had his second fatal heart attack, hundreds of estate workers were there at the Teluk Intan hospital to pay their respects.
And much respect and undying love for my beautiful and strong mother, who had to play both father and mother to us at such a young age with no help from anyone else. I used to wonder how she could afford to bring 3 kids up when she earned a tiny salary of RM1,200 as a secretary (this was in the mid 80s) "We don't need to ask anyone for help or for money. We may not have as much as other people have, but you and your siblings will never go hungry." Mom fought cancer stage 4 fiercely, refusing chemo for 15 years, outliving the doctor who gave her only 6 months - a true cancer warrior.
Happy Father's Day... I miss you both and wish you could be here to share my life, a few little achievements and my dreams today.
I'll always be so grateful to you both for being my inspiration and my drive to work hard, stay humble, stay strong, give my best and to be the best version of myself I could ever hope to be 💜

《Hero》
曲:Joseph Keefe
詞:Joseph Keefe
Let me go
I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
I just wanna fight with everyone else
Your masquerade
I don't wanna be a part of your parade
Everyone deserves a chance to
Walk with everyone else
While holding down
A job to keep my girl around
Maybe buy me some new strings
And her a night out on the weekend
And we can whisper things
Secrets from our American dreams
Baby needs some protection
But I'm a kid like everyone else
So let me go
I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
I just wanna fight like everyone else
So let me go
I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
I just wanna fight with everyone else
Your masquerade
I don't wanna be a part of your parade
Everyone deserves a chance to
Walk with everyone else
