To those who feel uncomfortable with 'You don't have to try so hard' | The Real Estate Notary exam is a test that requires serious commitment

I've been thinking about something a lot lately.

"You don't have to try so hard."
"It's okay to take a break."
"Be kind to yourself."

You see those kinds of words often, don't you?

Of course, that's important too.
I know that's important as well.

But to be honest—

I actually like myself better when I'm working so hard that I'm about to break.

In fact, the people I met during those times
liked me for that.

Perhaps, from the outside, I look a bit unstable.
My expression is stiff, and I apparently have an aura that makes me hard to approach.

But sometimes,
there is a moment when that aura softens just a little bit,

and it seems people like me because they think the person they see in that moment is the real me.

Let me get back to the point.

Honestly, I believe the Real Estate Notary exam
is a test you cannot pass unless you are serious.

Mentally and physically,
you won't make it to the end unless you have the 'determination to see it through.'

That is exactly why I want you to
properly hold onto these feelings you have this April.

Why did you decide to take the Real Estate Notary exam?

That 'initial feeling' will definitely support you later on.

If you'd like, please try writing it down.

"I decided to take the Real Estate Notary exam because..."
"I will see it through to the end."
"I will make sure to go to the exam venue on the day of the test."

I believe that is what it means
for an adult to study.

It will be okay.
Through the Real Estate Notary exam, my way of working and my income changed.
I am sure there will be positive changes for you, too.

For a while, my articles will focus on the Real Estate Notary exam.

I will also write slowly about my temp work, money,
and my life since the divorce.

Thank you so much for always reading.
