Tenacity

Since my debut, I had never used ads to promote myself.

Last Sunday, a FB friend asked me, if my organic posts could still bring me a steady stream of clients.

I replied, since my weekly Youtube uploads began in end June, and me moving into a home with Feng Shui that brings me wealth luck, inquiries and clients have been increasing.

My friend expressed happiness for me.

Is it easy to write and speak about Dharma and Chinese Metaphysics on the Internet?

No. Never will be.

I have met freeloaders, who try their luck at asking questions about their lives, and then reward me with a mere “Thanks”. (how casual)

I have met people who accused me being a scammer, and set up four to five accounts to befriend me on the surface, but wanted to carry out their investigations on me.

I have met people who used my articles to defame me, so as to showcase their smartness to their readers and win more Likes.

There are people who always Like and comment on my posts, but inside the heart, they are contesting with me and have sent text messages to my Shifu, hoping that I come to a bad end.

And there are people who embedded my Youtube video on a men’s forum. Discussions about me and the video content went rife like a wet market. Some men got “high” watching the video, while some busied with passing good and bad reviews.

Such games of the mortal world are none of my business, and I certainly would not lose heart over these and call it quits. Because whether it is a good affinity or a negative one, it remains an affinity. Like what my Grandmaster said, the fear is the greatest when there is zero affinity, for how are you going to deliver the sentient being?

Sometimes I look back and think it is really not easy to have come so far, but at times it feels like a dream, which will be over in the blink of an eye.

Even if it is a dream, I still wish to cultivate my merits in this dreamlike state.

In Life, many accomplishments are achieved through sheer perseverance. Both my Shifu, Master Dai Hu, and Grandmaster His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, are sterling personifications of these traits

However for many people, the longest they ever persevere on, is their inability to persevere for long.

My dear reader, thank you for your perseverance towards me, for giving me your Likes, comments and shares. No discrimination of me, no embarrassment of being associated with me.

You always have a special place in my heart. Because of your perseverance towards me, I have gained much strength and positive energy from you too. Many of my clients know me and receive my help, because of your perseverance in me.

I’m not a great speaker or writer by birth. But there lies a decade of practice behind my speaking and writing abilities. I did not write or speak to pursue fame and money, but to present my wisdom and express my concern, reduce your troubles and bring joy and happiness to you.

During those moments when you witness my determination, stood by my perseverance, and get infected with my tenacity, I sincerely hope this will fuel your motivation to persevere and live Life to your full potential. Don’t get defeated by the “bad eggs”. 😄 In time to come, you shall also have your own special honour and glory. 🏆🎖💪
