I hope my introduction will give hope for those who needs it, as I was introduced by to @Busy & @Steemit at a period when I almost gave up on certain dreams & goals I would like to achieve. First, thank you Busy & Steemit community for providing overwhelming response to my story, which I hope it gives you some happiness & faith in humanity. I could not hold my feelings when I saw my story in here.
Allow me to introduce myself briefly:
My nickname is Omniknight & I am from KL, MY. I have 2 siblings. My dad suffered stroke when I was 13 & prior to that he was an aircraft technician. My mum is a housewife until today, looking after the well being of our family. She has been a rock solid backbone till this moment, despite all the major challenges. At times when divorce rates are spiking up, it's great to witness the bond they have until today. My dad is someone who was very positive & driven person in life, until that setback hit him.
(Image 1: Picture was taken during a brief evening in a park with my dad.)
In the article written by titled "Helping A Friend - Let´s Show The Power Of Steem!", I did not expect
to do this. As mentioned, I don't show my family side to people except for someone I am close with. As my buddy loved indian food, I thought this would give him some insight on the local dishes & some basic information on my parents lifestyle as my mum loves cooking!
At some point, we discussed few topics & I did shared to my buddy as I have been delayed my former colleagues request to visit them to Belgium (BE). The purpose I shared to , as I would like to thank my former colleagues in BE personally for their support, motivation, believe & encouragement that they had in me when I was just 22 years young. I did shared to him I have been delaying their request for the 3rd year, but I believed I would make it as this will be the first for many upcoming travels that I wish to do more. I will share the pictures once I am there in BE to the busy & steem community. :)
I was going through major personal challenges myself with work, financial, moral support & etc which I had been keeping it within myself as "everyone is going through a battle of their own". Plus, I am blessed to have experienced life at 25.
Some of them are:
- Playing football in a competitive & social environment (as I was not a good player during younger days)
- To work & meet with people from various geographical settings, coming from a humble background
- Quality peers, whom values you for who you are
- Completed my bachelors in psychology, a meaningful milestone in my life
- To have a job which provides me with unique experience & gives me a sustainable income

However, there are some major setbacks in between all the success I had those years:
- Lack of moral support for my decisions in certain topics like my studies, my investments in supplements for my parents, cryptocurrencies & etc
- Going through a breakup with someone who was there & provided moral support
- Financial challenges during these periods
- Complete lost in sense of direction in life purposes
- Tried creating a page titled "Live Inspired, Life True Journeys" in facebook to inspire & motivate people & I didn't continue further as I felt at every other aspects, it was too challenging to handle all other setbacks at once instance
Hence, not only gave me the opportunity to travel to BE, I have been given a gift to contribute my skills & expertise to this community.
I do believe, everyone has their own "life timeline" & it is unique in each person as everyone is special in their own way despite our similarities.
My life purpose:
- Inspire others in fulfilling their potentials
- Travel & connect with others in a fruitful way in various geographical setting
- Be a coach for the youth soccer team in the future or to adopt a child who has a dream that wish to pursue
- Discuss & listen to people who has any topics & ideas that they would like to share about
- Blog about what could inspire others & me on a daily life experience
- Share meaningful lessons which I discovered along the way
I am grateful for what I have experienced by 25 & it would not have been possible.
I look forward for my next 25 years & the objectives that I would like to achieve together with the people I am surrounded with.
For a start, my next post is titled "Light at the end of tunnel" , which I will share to you my life journey on how my believe made me to accomplish certain things in my life up till now. Mainly, I would like to give hope, faith & believe for those who would be reading it on how you can keep pursuing your life goals & purposes despite the setbacks (in my case, it started when I was 13, as my best friend or my "Dad" gone through stroke when I was in my high school. Along the way, I will share with you some wonderful on how by just believing & having faith in your belief, how it will get connected & help to pursue you to what you aspire on.
