Everything is Temporary

Remember when we thought exams were the hardest thing in life?

Or when surviving the first 3 months of our first job probation felt like climbing Mount Everest?

Looking back now, most of the things that once felt impossible were just... unfamiliar.

The real challenge wasn’t that they were too hard, but that we weren’t used to them yet.

It’s like using your non-dominant hand to write. The first few attempts feel awkward and messy, but with time and practice, it becomes easier and almost natural.

This week, I had my own version of learning to write with my left hand.

I’ve never really seen myself as a 'salesperson.' Anyone who’s talked to me, worked with me, or interacted with me before probably knows, I’m more on the shy, introverted side. Trust me, I can suddenly just stop talking mid-convo and feel zero awkwardness about it. LOL

But now that I’ve stepped into building Moonbase business, I had to flip that mindset. I turned on turbo mode and threw myself into it.

I cold messaged over 200 people this week, and met 12 of them face-to-face. It was uncomfortable. But it was also exciting. I got to learn how people think, what they want, and how to position what I do in a way that matters to them, in the shortest time.

Honestly, I’m starting to enjoy it. It’s been like riding a roller coaster.

One moment I feel full of hope, the next I’m convinced I’m doomed, then back to “I got this”… and repeat.

The days go by so fast, I can’t even remember what I had for dinner just now. Almost forgot to write my diary, Haha.

This whole journey reminds me of when I was learning to ride a bicycle. I kept falling, scraping my knees, feeling frustrated. But one day, I just kept going — and before I knew it, I had figured it out. I didn’t even realize I’d mastered it until I looked back and saw how far I’d come. And yes, I can even ride a bicycle with no hands on the wheel... for a solid 10 seconds. Wahahaha.

So now, I’m telling myself this:

Sales is just like cycling. I’ll fall, I’ll wobble, I’ll get rejected. But one day, I’ll just ride smooth and confident.

Because everything is temporary. Awkward becomes familiar. Struggle becomes skill. One day, what feels hard now will just be “what I do.”

Till then, I’ll keep pedaling.

See u in the parking lot,
