I'm going to give it my all this year!

Good evening.
It's Mamanosuke (^^♪

I was talking with my daughter about work since this morning,
and before I knew it, it was already this late (∀｀*ゞ)hehe

"Mom, you've been working hard on something lately, haven't you? (^^)/"

Actually, I've been seriously working on something called self-understanding since December ( *´艸｀)

"What is self-understanding? (。´･ω･)?"

It's about deepening your self-analysis
to realize what you truly want to do (^O^)／

"Haven't you been doing that a lot until now, Mom? (・・?"

I certainly tried various things, but...
none of them were quite right ( 一一)

"So you were just lost on what you wanted to do, huh? (⌒▽⌒) Hahaha!"

Well... you could say that ( 一一)
But after reading this book and following it, I finally found what I really want to do ( *´艸｀)

"That's great ( *´艸｀)
So that's why you've been talking to so many different people on ZOOM lately, Mom! (^O^)／"

Actually, I've tried to start a business many times before, but I always gave up and couldn't stick with it until the end (∀｀*ゞ)hehe

"I know that well ( *´艸｀)
You've created and deleted so many Instagram accounts, haven't you? (⌒▽⌒) Hahaha!"

You know me well (∀｀*ゞ)hehe

Although I tried my hand at many things,
none of them were actually what I truly wanted to do, so I couldn't keep them up (∀｀*ゞ)hehe

"Then, won't you just give up again this time? (。´･ω･)?"

No!! This time, I know exactly what I want to do, so I'm going to publicly declare it on note and go for it ( *´艸｀)

"Publicly declare? (◎_◎;) That's quite a bold thing to do ( 一一)"

I'm serious about getting results with what I want to do this year, so I'm going to declare it properly on note,
and I plan to post on note on New Year's Eve saying, 'I was able to do XX!' ( *´艸｀)

"You seem serious this year, huh? (◎_◎;)"

(nod nod) Since my daughter had to take a leave of absence from work at the start of the year, I've been thinking a lot about how I work too.

(^O^)／

"Working style... that's certainly true.
You don't want to work in a way that leads to a leave of absence, do you? (◞‸◟)"

I've never taken a leave of absence, but I've spent 50 years working just for the money, so I've decided it's finally time to do what I really want to do. ( *´艸｀)

"That's great! (^O^)／
If you can do what you want to do, Mom, I feel like I can do it too. ( *´艸｀)"

Right? ( *´艸｀)
If your 50-year-old mom can do it, it'll be a breeze for you at 23! (^^♪
I've always shown you, my daughter, only the side of me that works for money,

and I've been reflecting on that. (◞‸◟)

So this time, I want to show you what it looks like to do what I truly want to do. ( *´艸｀)

"It's for your own sake, and for mine too. ( *´艸｀)
That's just like you, Mom. ✨"

Right? ( *´艸｀)
If it's for you, my daughter,
I can do my best too. ( *´艸｀)

"So... what are you planning to do, Mom? (・・?

I'm going to support people like me who have things they want to do but can't take that first step. (^O^)／

"That's great!!
It's credible because you're the mom who was stuck for 3 years and finally took that step! ヾ(≧▽≦)ﾉ"

(´ー｀*) Yeah. While sharing how I was able to take that step,
just like I solve your problems, daughter,
I'm going to try helping others solve their problems when they can't take that step. ( *´艸｀)

"That's great! (^^♪
It's something you do every day, Mom,
so you'll be able to do it naturally! ( *´艸｀)"

(´ー｀*) Yeah.

"Mom, are you really going to post this? (。´･ω･)?

I'm a little worried, but...
this time I'm going to post it properly and do my best! (^O^)／

"Oh! That's wonderful! (pat pat)
I can really tell you're serious this time!"

I'm really nervous, but... I said I'd do it properly,
so I'm going to give it my all this year! (^O^)／

So, Mamanosuke, in 2024...
I'm becoming a 'First Step Support Coach'! (^^♪

"Alright! Mom! Do your best! (๑ •̀ω•́)۶Fight!!"

Since I've already said it...
I will do my best!

"So, what are you going to do on this first day?"

First, I'll set up my social media account.

"Huh..."
"For someone who made such a public declaration, you're starting from there? Haha!"

I guess I was underprepared despite saying something so big, hehe.

"Well, if even a mom like you can get good results,
it might make others feel safe enough to take the first step,
so maybe it's fine! Haha!"

So, Mamanosuke here,
even though today is the start...
I will do my best this year!

To all my friends who always support me,
please cheer me on if you'd like!

Thank you for listening to my family's story today as well.
