Keep Going


Hey guys, it’s Elize! Or really, call me EAF.
 

It’s late, dark, and I’m reflecting while listening to music — like many of you. If you don’t listen to music, consider yourself blessed! Today, I want to talk about the strengths we gain from experience, whether you’re in the same field as me or not.

I studied IT, specifically Cybersecurity. At first, I thought the major was just a “fancy name” for a job. But at the time, I was blocking myself from deeper understanding and learning. I had a very self-assertive tone, which especially came out when I was hurt — like being cheated on.

Because of my lack of interest in growth and comprehension, I made poor decisions, had unstable relationships, and created an unstable environment. Yet acknowledging these gaps made me notice a lack of depth in my approach to life. Looking back, I realize I’m only 22, and this self-awareness is just the beginning.

During that period, I wasn’t caring for myself. But I still cared deeply about others. When you neglect yourself, even small habits — like hygiene — can affect how others relate to you. Once I started taking care of myself, I could re-engage with the world: self-education, fostering relationships, and supporting family through morals, demonstrations, and even small gestures. That path brought me back to faith, a dream of revival through Jesus Christ.

As a problem-solver, I began applying my skills to long-term arrangements, asking questions, and seeking understanding. Often, I found nothing — everything can feel meaningless. Maybe that’s the point. This craving for depth was a turning point, echoing ideas from Anatomy of a Breakthrough by Adam Alter.

Through it all, I learned that caring for myself allowed me to care for others better. Supporting family, nurturing relationships, and developing skills — these are the foundations for long-term success. You have to know what you’re building to create something meaningful, whatever your “magical hands” are capable of.

The takeaway: keep going. Even when meaning is unclear, persistence and diligence lead to growth. You won’t always know the full picture, but moving forward is the only way to find it.

  2. Good read. I think life is about change. Specifically, holding yourself to the standard you wish to see others achieve. You seem understanding of all life’s challenges, so you must be destined to make it far. Beautiful words.

  3. Great read. You have a progressive way at viewing life. In my opinion, it’s all about growth. Making the next step to becoming the idealized person I’ve always imagined. It seems like you agree, so you must be in the right direction. Best of luck 🤞
