I admit, I struggle. - I struggle to keep up on social media. I struggle to look for the joy in adversity. My life is far from perfect, and As an entrepreneur, I don’t believe that “work life balance” actually exists. But that’s another story. - We each have our own battles to fight. Some bigger than others. - We also have a choice. A choice to turn bitter into better. A choice to count our blessings each new morning. A choice to dig for treasures in trouble. A choice for peace over being right. A choice to feed our focus and starve our distractions. A choice to grow. - If you’re reading this, You have survived your entire life until this point. You have survived traumas, heartbreak, devastation, the different challenges of life. And you are here. You got this. - Keep growing. And if you feel you’re about to break, Push a little harder, So you can breakthrough. - Love you. - #HannahTan #Introvert #Entrepreneur . . .

// Let’s MEET UP? // (Answer 3 questions below) - If you’ve been hurt in relationships, business partnerships, or investment decisions, Instead of asking “𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚?” Start asking “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙚?” - Most importantly, Don’t compare yourself to others.

// What’s your #Genius? //⁣ What are you good at?⁣ -⁣ I used to feel so inferior about my inability⁣ to communicate in conversations.⁣ ⁣ “𝘐𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥.”⁣ ⁣ Then I get all nervous when I open my⁣ mouth to actually speak,⁣ and end up feeling like I made⁣ a complete fool of myself.⁣ It happens all the time. Lol.⁣ -⁣ So when it counts at work,⁣ I leave the talking to people who⁣ do it best, while I focus on⁣ what I’m a little better at;⁣ Conceptualisation, strategies & numbers.⁣ -⁣ -⁣ Albert Einstein once said,⁣ ⁣ “𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬.⁣ 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐛𝐲⁣ 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞,⁣ 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞⁣ 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐝.”⁣ ⁣ So instead of stressing about⁣ what we’re not great at,⁣ just focus on finding our genius.⁣ -⁣ Hope that helps.⁣ Love you Online Family.⁣ -⁣ #HannahTan⁣ #Introvert (at Asia/Kuala_Lumpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxO36wGgGuo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vl8h820mqfzo
