January 9th: "What it means to be an adult" Overview

The theme for this day is the realization that
being an adult is not about getting older.

It is about taking responsibility for your own words and actions, and

having the resolve to face reality instead of being swept away by emotions. It is said that this is what it means to be an
“adult” and the foundation for stabilizing your life and luck
.

Points that left an impression

Being an adult does not mean enduring things or pushing yourself too hard.

Managing your own mood, not blaming the environment or others, and having the attitude of

“So, what should I do?” and taking action
.

It is emphasized that it is important to have the perspective of accepting both failures and successes as
“your own choices” without blaming anyone else, and
using them for the next step.

How to apply this to daily life

When you feel that "the environment is bad," "the other person is bad," or "I have no luck," that is exactly when you should stop and think.

“What choice of mine led to this result?”

I felt that

properly facing things that will cause trouble if put off, such as health management and money management, is in itself a
luck-improving action as an adult.

Things to be conscious of on January 9th

When you encounter values or ways of thinking different from your own, try not to react emotionally, but instead

receive them as a “learning experience”.

Carefully stacking up
things that are obvious but important
, such as managing your physical condition and regulating your daily rhythm.

I think this is a day where, by spending it like that, both your foundation as an adult and your foundation of luck will

quietly fall into place
.

Why not start today by being a little more conscious of
“the adult version of yourself”?
