More than a month ago, I was still in chaos: my life was a mess and my work was inactive. She and her husband were separated in two places, and she was several months pregnant with her one-year-old baby, living with her mother-in-law. I leave work early and come back late. When I get home, I play with my children and put them to sleep. All the hard work, some people can't see it, and some people turn a blind eye. Only I know clearly: The woman who once had only the stars and the sea in her eyes, and only poetry and the distant place in her heart will never come back. I am exhausted, and I no longer have any vitality and aura.
Until I met Teacher Xiao Qian, my eyes were bright again and there was a lot of beauty in my heart. Teacher Xiao Qian’s sincerity, reality, humor, wisdom, strength, and beauty all moved me. It was she who took me closer to the field of realizing study, and it was she who removed the fog in my life, allowing me to see life and myself more clearly.
1. Monetize reading and let me pick up books again
I haven’t read for a long time. I can’t remember the last time I read seriously, at least several years ago. I want to study, but I always suffer from lack of time and lack of mood. Ever since I listened to Teacher Xiao Qian’s class, I have been reading according to the “five-minute reading method” taught by the teacher. Choose fragmented time, even if it is only five minutes; choose chapters that interest you, and you can continue reading even if you are not interested in the book. In this way, I actually read some bits and pieces, so that now, I feel anxious and uneasy when I don't read it any day.
I not only read, I also listen to books. Because during the learning process, teacher Xiaoyu was supervising us to write the manuscript. Only after reading the book can our manuscripts have their own real materials, thoughts and connotations. But the real reading time is not enough for writing manuscripts, so I listen to books while doing things. In this way, the time is used up and the books are read.
In fact, the reason why I was first attracted to reading for money was because of the word “realization”. But in the current learning process, what has benefited me the most is "reading". I picked up those Tang poems and Song lyrics, literary classics, and parenting encyclopedias that had been placed on my desk and had barely been turned over. I recall that winter many years ago, I sat on the bay window in front of the bed, basking in the sun, holding a book, and wandering around. How comfortable it was! I liked myself then! Now the feeling is back. I’m overjoyed that reading money has allowed me to pick up books again!
2. Monetizing reading helped me regain my light
More than a month ago, I felt like I was walking alone in the fog of the forest, lost my way, and didn’t know what to do in the future. The eldest baby is still young, and the second baby will be born next spring. At this time, I am exhausted, without the company and care of my relatives, let alone their understanding and support. I am confused and cannot see the light.
Fortunately, when I was writing a book review, I read the book "Love Yourself, No matter Who You Marry". I learned that many times, I shouldn't complain, shouldn't run away, and shouldn't place too much hope. For the other half, we must be proactive and start from ourselves to find solutions to problems. Because no matter who you marry, you will always meet yourself! I finally have a ray of light in my heart, I want to change, I want to take action, I want to get out of the forest fog!
So I exchanged ideas with my husband, and I decided to give up my stable job here, study hard for the exam, and go to work and live in his city. We accompany our children to grow up together, support each other, and grow together.
Just last week, we made another big decision: buying a house. We went to see the house and were a little excited, but we struggled for several days and still couldn't make up our minds. At this moment, I thought about the people and things I met in the reading camp. Teacher Xiaoqian has been working hard for ten years and has achieved what he is today; Teacher Xiaoyu has a baby, she is eight months pregnant, has her own job, and leads two reading and cashing classes in her spare time; Reading and Cashing Camp Every one of the classmates here has their own difficulties, but haven’t they all overcome all the difficulties? What am I struggling with? Confused in this troubled time, should I change my job? The second baby is about to be born? I am worried that after buying a house, I will be penniless and stretched? Yes, I want to learn from them. As long as I work hard, I will always get better. The harder I work, the luckier I will be!
That beam of light is getting brighter and brighter. It has illuminated my entire sky and helped me walk out of the forest fog. While waiting peacefully for the arrival of my second child, all I have to do is work hard, work hard, and work hard again!
Yes, as long as we work hard, all good things will happen to us unexpectedly!
All of this stems from my encounter with reading monetization.
From this, I am convinced: all encounters are the best arrangements...
