Imagine not able to eat your favourite fruits?
Two months' ago I couldn't have them.
The speedy recovery has helped me slowly introduce the veg and fruits I love.
We easily forget the little things we take for granted every day.
Until...
it's taken from us.
And today, I am grateful to afford and consume it without any adverse reaction.
What are you grateful today, my dear readers? βΊοΈπ«

"I am logical ALWAYS. I don't get scammed" β so we say to ourselves.
We think we are too smart to get scammed.
We think only the vulnerable get scammed.
For as long as we cannot control our emotions;
For as long as we have unchecked desires;
For as long as we are unaware of our biases;
Everyone is vulnerable to getting scammed.
I remember a story of a retired man who was meticulously wary of women scamming him in Thailand. He said, "I am not going to fall for any of those love-bombing and empty my retirement money. I have everything calculated to the 'cent'. I have my spreadsheet and everything is accounted for."
But low and behold, before he could even say "NO", he already fell for this beautiful woman in Thailand.
It started as an innocent chat at the cafe. It was innocent, short, and no malice. It then progressed to her bringing him some snacks at his place. A quick past-time chat, then she went home. The next thing he knew, he was deep in tangled with her.
It starts with a small request, "I need to buy a new phone." And the gentleman in him says, "I can buy one for you." The next was, "A family needs help with hospital bills," so he paid for it. Before he knew it, it soon stacked up and he was already way above his monthly budget. But he did a bit of mental gymnastics and made an excuse.
"It's okay. I am helping her family. We are building a future together." But when the cash flow slowed down, so did the attention from her. She became distant. She started going out late at night.
Until he found out, she had been seeing someone whilst they were together.
The worse part? She told him, "You are old. You expect love? I only need money!"
Maybe he did fall for her. His spreadsheets did not save him from falling out of pocket. He knew what was going on, but he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. What was seemingly innocent, friendly, and fun interactions ended up emptying his hard-earned savings and his broken heart.
Did he expect it coming? No.
Did he think he'd get scammed? No.
Deception does not dress up like deception. It always dresses up in sheep's clothing: kindness, benevolence, and belonging.
How well do you know yourself?
Do you think you are immune to deception, lies, and scams?
Food for thought.

how do you know you pick the right options for you?
blindly following the crowd is not critical thinking.
know your options. educate yourself. research and ask questions.

Not everyone who is SMILING is happy.
Not everyone who is NOT SMILING is unhappy.
You cannot tell emotions by the face. This has been proven already by neuroscience - "How Emotions are Made".
So next time, don't be quick to judge every time you see people who are always bubbly and smiley;
you do not know what demons they are fighting behind closed doors or inside them.
If this perspective is hard to imagine, how about asking yourself this: does everyone know the battle I am fighting inside?
This will guide you to shift your perception.
Your perception shapes your interactions. And reminding yourself of this may be the saving grace you need to win back a broken relationship, or win a new one, or let go of the old.
You've got this πͺ
Take care, you β beautiful soul π«βΊοΈ

Your body is very powerful. It can heal on its own when given the right environment and time to do so.
Today is my last day taking 4 capsules of probiotics. After that, I am going to take 2 capsules a day.
2 months with this routine and my recovery is so much faster than I anticipated.
I am grateful π
I may have to follow my strict diet for 1 year.
When I am ready to share this journey, I'll let you know.
Perhaps whoever is going through it like me may get some insights from it.
Until then, thank you for all your prayers and well wishes.
I'll keep you all posted #nostr tribe. π«

How do you save someone who is driving towards a car crash? β YOU DON'T!
Intervening is also dangerous; it can cost your life. Warning signs are there, but if the MIND refuses to acknowledge it, YOU CANNOT INTERVENE.
And that is okay because sometimes wisdom thrives in TRAGEDY.
Driving towards a car crash is the same as having strong convictions.
When your convictions (belief systems) are too strong, the lies and truth become irrelevant to you because you have succumbed to it.
Concerned road users are the same as the lies you hear and the truth you hear. You ignored it because your convictions are stronger.
One day you wake up at the hospital fighting for your life, in awe, wondering where it went wrong? You thought you saw a quiet road. But you missed seeing the edge of the cliff.
When your
EMOTIONS are UNCHECKED,
your CONVICTIONS are UNCHECKED and
your BIAS is UNCHECKED,
you are likely to be the prime target of MANIPULATION.
Sadly, not all manipulation is dressed in coercion.
The worse kind is the manipulation masked in kindness, in benevolence, friendliness and a sense of community!
The next thing you know
you have been scammed, your bank accounts have been emptied.
And the worse part?
You handed it over willingly β all in the name of kindness, friendship and belonging.
Don't let your innocence, naivety and ignorance be manipulated. Trust is not determined by the crowd. It is determined by your own discernment, research, critical thinking and intuition.
Shortcuts are not the answer, quick money is not the answer. Be WISER.
DO NOT TRUST. QUESTION EVERYTHING.
EDUCATE YOURSELF.
And don't take my word for it, research what I say; here is a good start: 48 Laws of Power. π
Have a good one, you β beautiful soul. βΊοΈπ«
Yours truly,
Mae
