WHEN I FIRST NOTICED MY EMOTIONAL BURNOUT

I used to think I was a perfectionist.  I expected every task to be completed perfectly so that no one would complain. I avoided dealing with unfamiliar matters — especially people.  I did not commit easily, but once I did, I would make sure it was completed.  To me, this was the ideal way to live and work.  I did not like complaints. Whenever they appeared, I would analyse them — Was it my fault? Or someone else’s?  But eventually, I discovered something unexpected:  I was emotionally burnt out.

 

I did not realise this until I entered my 30s.  During my 30s and 40s, I was managing more than 100 workers.  Like many corporate leaders, we built systems and expected people to follow them.  But the reality was different.  People do not follow systems consistently.  Some resisted, some ignored instructions, some acted based on personal interest.  And over time, I realised:  The most exhausting part of my job was not the workload — it was dealing with people.  There were days I felt reluctant to even start work, because I could already predict the outcome. I began doubting my own ability.  I did not like the environment, yet I stayed for more than 10 years.  The urgency of work kept pushing me forward.  Eventually, I stopped aiming for excellence — I simply executed tasks just to move things along.  Somewhere along the way, I lost myself.

 

In my 40s, I finally made the decision to leave.  I started learning new skills, especially soft skills, hoping to build a new career as a trainer.  With a more flexible life, I began to understand people better —and also understand why I had been treated the way I was.  I realised that I had been trapped in an environment where I could only perform within narrow limits — almost like living in a cage.  My daily goal used to be simple:  Do routine work correctly, solve problems when they arise.  But over time, I became emotionally drained — especially when people did not follow my expectations.  If something remained unresolved, it would stay in my mind for hours… sometimes affecting my mood, sometimes even my sleep.  Later, I noticed the same pattern appearing in other areas of life — finances, communication, daily challenges. Small matters could affect my mood for an entire day. I became difficult, calculative, and self-focused.

 

About 10 years ago, I attended an NLP Practitioner course.  That was when I began to understand many of my inner “WHYs”.  One idea that struck me deeply was:  “The map is not the territory.”  It helped me realise that people do not see the same reality —they see their own interpretation of it. Our perceptions are shaped by our beliefs, values, and experiences.  In other words, everyone is living inside their own “map”.  When I understood this, I felt a sense of relief. 

Not everything was personal.
Not everything was resistance.
Sometimes, it was simply a different way of seeing the same situation.

This shifted my mindset.  Instead of trying to control outcomes, I began to focus on expanding my own understanding.  I realised that one way to reduce burnout was not by forcing solutions — but by continuing to learn. Reading became part of that process.  As we read, we grow in perspective.  And with greater perspective, we react less emotionally.

 

Today, I still face uncertainties and challenges. But I have learned to let go of many negative thoughts.  Most of the time, it is simply different people viewing the same situation from different angles.  What matters is learning to see things with the right mindset.

A LACK OF APPARENT PROGRESS DOES NOT MEAN FAILURE

As I stepped into my early fifties, the first changes I noticed came from my body. I get tired more easily now. Climbing a flight of stairs can leave me slightly breathless, and at times, I feel less patient at work. Eventually, I realised that what has changed is not only my body, but the subtle rhythm of life itself — money seems to run out faster than before.  Surprisingly, I am not discouraged by these changes. The anxiety I once carried has faded. What keeps me grounded today is the quiet preparation and small reserves I have built over the years.


This year, I intentionally established several habits, especially reading and writing. I began restructuring my daily routines, work priorities, and even how I manage money. It may look like I am simply completing weekly “KPIs,” yet these routines do not feel burdensome. Life may not feel abundant, but I continue doing what is within my capacity. Once a habit settles in, I gently challenge myself — learning new skills, reading more, and improving my communication through Toastmasters — gradually increasing my personal value.  The changes may not be immediately visible, but I can feel myself storing knowledge, experience, and wisdom each day. There is a quiet satisfaction in that.


Life in our fifties is not easy. A moment of carelessness can pull us into difficulty. Anxiety leads to poor sleep, poor sleep affects health, weakened health reduces execution, reduced execution affects income — and anxiety grows again. When nothing changes, this cycle repeats itself. Worse still, when we trap ourselves in one place — physically or mentally — problems rarely solve themselves.


Over the past two years, I have learned the importance of rest, and of not exhausting myself emotionally. Reading has become a form of grounding, especially during restless moments. Without adjusting our mindset, it is difficult to move forward. I have also learned to stop comparing myself with others. Everyone moves according to a different timeline. As long as the direction is right, progress will come in its own time.


At the end of last year, I reviewed my personal scorecard. There was no dramatic breakthrough, but I was certainly better than the year before. I avoided several potential pitfalls. I did not earn much, but I spent where necessary and reduced my debts. To me, that counts as progress.


Today, I am slowly building a rhythm that belongs to me — step by step. Results may not yet be obvious, but I feel steady. Some old habits remain, such as procrastination or spending too much time on my phone, yet I notice good habits gradually replacing the old ones. More importantly, I now give myself time to reflect before making important decisions.


So, a lack of apparent progress does not mean failure. What truly leads to failure is inner emptiness — the absence of learning, growth, and preparation. When we consistently prepare ourselves, we will be ready when opportunities arrive. We do our part, and time will take care of the rest.

MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A MALAY E-BOOK AFFILIATE PLATFORM (Klikjer)

In 2017, when I first started exploring stock trading, I came to know a Malay stock market mentor. He was a dedicated teacher who generously shared his trading knowledge and experience with his students. Through his classes, I learned a complete set of trading concepts and techniques.
  Although I did not eventually achieve consistent profits using those methods and gradually stepped away from active trading to focus on work and teaching, a “stock market dream” has always stayed with me. I still hope that one day, I can return to the market, continue learning from my mentor, and achieve better results in investing.

 

One day, my mentor shared a link in our group chat, announcing that he had published an e-book. Students who were interested could purchase it directly from him, and those who wished could also help promote the e-book through a platform and earn commissions.  At that time, I did not have the financial capacity to invest further, so the idea of becoming a platform member and promoting e-books as a form of knowledge-based income seemed like a reasonable option.  That was how I joined the platform as a member.

 

The platform is called Klikjer. Besides my mentor’s e-book, it features works by other authors and allows creators to list their own e-books for sale. What makes this platform particularly distinctive is that all the e-books available are written in Malay. To me, this was both refreshing and intriguing.  Since joining the platform, I have not yet purchased any of the e-books. However, I know that one day, I will start reading them directly from my phone—anytime and anywhere, especially while waiting, traveling, or winding down at night. The convenience of not having to carry physical books and the ability to access reading material instantly are what make e-books especially appealing to me.

Having received a Malay-medium education during my secondary school years, I am quite comfortable with the language. Reading and writing in Malay come naturally to me, and sometimes my comprehension is even faster than when reading Chinese. On this platform, I see not just books, but a wider world of knowledge conveyed through the Malay language.

In today’s information-driven society, access to knowledge itself is a valuable asset. Gaining exposure to another language and understanding a different cultural perspective opens up new ways of seeing the world.

If you are also curious about the wisdom, experiences, and knowledge of the Malay community in Malaysia, you are welcome to visit my e-book page from time to time. Perhaps, when you are ready, you may find a book there that speaks to you.

I STARTED BLOGGING NOT BECAUSE OF DISCIPLINE

When I was in primary school, I often watched my teachers write comments in our exercise books or neatly write Chinese characters on the blackboard. There were no mobile phones back then, and certainly no computers. Yet, I loved writing. I loved having pen pals. Every time I received a letter, I couldn’t wait to think about how I should reply and what I wanted to share. Writing letters was one of the things I looked forward to the most in those days.


Many years later, at a moment I can no longer clearly remember, I came across Google’s blogging platform. That was when I developed a new interest—writing weekly reflections on a blog. At first, writing was simply a way for me to release work stress and emotions. But as time went by, it slowly turned into a “task.” When writing became an obligation rather than an expression, I gradually stopped.


This year, I rebuilt a new blog and gave myself a direction: to write one article every week. I used to think that writing weekly was far too frequent—where would I find so many topics? Besides, I’m quite close to being a homebody, and my life doesn’t seem particularly exciting. But looking back at the years I’ve lived and the experiences I’ve accumulated, I realized that I actually have many stories and reflections worth sharing. Every article, in one way or another, can leave behind something useful for those reading on the other side of the screen.


Writing also helps me focus on how I want to express myself. Much like writing a speech, I constantly ask myself: What do I want to say? How should I say it? What is the message I truly want to convey? When writing becomes a thinking process, it no longer feels like a burden—it becomes a form of reflection and grounding.


About fifteen years ago, I slowly became aware of the importance of discipline. Every year, I would set goals and write to-do lists, telling myself quietly, “This time, I must persist.” Yet before long, I would stop. Looking back, there were many possible reasons—ability, time, energy, laziness, or uncertainty about whether I was heading in the right direction. I came to realize that discipline often means forcing ourselves to do things we must do, but don’t really enjoy. No wonder it feels painful. At the beginning, novelty might trigger dopamine and bring short-lived excitement. But once the freshness fades, continuing becomes difficult.


Later, I finally understood that cultivating habits, rather than relying solely on willpower, makes a difference. When each repetition allows me to discover something new or gain a new insight, the satisfaction feels less like dopamine and more like the steady fulfillment brought by endorphins.


So this year, instead of obsessing over goals or discipline, I chose to focus on building habits. Blogging is one of them. I currently manage two blogs, and over time, writing has slowly integrated into my daily life—like waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, working remotely, reading the Bible, turning off the power, locking the door, and driving to the office. It has become part of a natural system. Writing is no longer hard to sustain; in fact, it feels increasingly effortless.


Since the year before last, I’ve also become more active in Toastmasters. I paid to join two clubs, learning public speaking, communication, and leadership roles in my own club, while also accepting invitations to speak or serve as an evaluator at other clubs. I hardly ever say no. Over time, this too has become a habit. Just two nights ago, I drove for an hour with visiting Toastmasters leaders and club members to attend a meeting at Tawau Hills Park. In the past, I might not have had the motivation to do so. It’s not that my discipline suddenly improved—rather, once habits are established, many things that used to feel troublesome begin to feel natural.


Writing allows me to record my life, but also to share meaningful ideas and perspectives, so that we can grow together when facing life’s challenges. At the same time, it helps me continue refining my writing skills. I often feel that writing is like giving birth. Each completed article feels like welcoming a new life into the world. Every piece is different, and each one accompanies me in its own way. During the writing process, I constantly learn new words and gain new insights. That feeling is much like finishing a good book and suddenly experiencing a moment of clarity.


Yesterday, I visited a student’s home and enjoyed a cup of hand-brewed coffee. It’s a kind of specialty coffee I usually wouldn’t spend money on. But through moments like this, I get to exchange thoughts on life, values, and travel experiences, and I gain inspiration in return. Compared to strictly demanding discipline from myself, I much prefer my current rhythm of life—one with connection, learning, and a sense of spaciousness.


If you enjoy sharing stories too, feel free to follow along. Let’s continue this journey together.

FROM TEAM BUILDING TO LEADERSHIP TRAINING: LESSONS NOT WRITTEN IN THE HANDOUTS

Last Saturday morning, the weather was exceptionally pleasant — no dark clouds, no sudden rain.  My work in the morning went smoothly, and I arrived at the airport on time. After parking the car, I walked into the terminal to meet my fellow club members. We boarded the plane without delay, enjoyed a smooth flight, and landed punctually.


My brother (who is also the K Division Director) was already waiting at the airport. He picked us up and brought us for a hearty breakfast. When we arrived at the cafΓ©, several Toastmasters leaders and the team-building facilitator were already there. We chatted, took photos, and enjoyed breakfast together in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Shortly after, we made our way to the venue for the team building and leadership training — Seaside Travellers Inn.


Located in Kinarut on the west coast of Sabah, the resort sits right by the sea. The setting is simple yet comfortable. Upon arrival, I instinctively took out my phone to capture the seaside view. Leaders from Toastmasters clubs across Sabah had gathered here. After registration and collecting our room keys, we were guided to the restaurant for lunch.


The lunch was satisfying, but what truly caught our attention was the sea view outside. We ate, talked, and enjoyed the scenery at the same time. Two other leaders and I were assigned rooms by the sea, with a balcony facing the sea at the back. Being able to hear the waves at any time from our rooms drew quite a bit of envy from others.


After lunch, the team-building activities officially began. Most people associate team building with socialising and bonding, but this experience felt different. We were told that the K Division leaders had spent months working closely with the facilitators to design these activities thoughtfully. There were no intense physical games — all activities were conducted indoors — yet every one of them was meaningful. These were not activities you simply “play and forget”, but experiences that left us with insights worth bringing back to our clubs and daily lives.

 

Activity One: TFAR

The facilitator first invited us to list the challenges faced within our clubs, especially those related to people. We then analysed them using a simple framework:

TFAR
T – Thought
F – Feeling
A – Action
R – Result


When a person encounters a challenge, a thought arises, followed by a feeling. That feeling then influences the action taken, which eventually leads to a result. This activity helped us realise that beneath conflicts or problems, feelings are often the most crucial element that needs attention.


The facilitator guided us to practise having conversations during conflicts by asking:

  1. What caused you to feel this way?
  2. Why do you feel this way?
  3. What can I do to help you feel better?


These may seem like simple questions, but they are powerful soft skills — useful both in club leadership and in workplace communication.

 

Activity Two: Clarifying the Gap

Next, we were asked to list our current situation within the club. This included challenges, such as a shortage of members, as well as strengths, such as satisfactory educational progress.


We were then guided to describe our ideal situation, and to reflect on one key question: What is missing between now and where we want to be?  Once the gap is clearly identified, goals and strategies can be set, and progress can be made within a timeline. The facilitator shared a statement that left a strong impression on me:

“A problem is half solved when it is well-identified.”

 

Activity Three: From Strangers to Conversation

By evening, we moved on to the third activity. Participants were regrouped, and each team secretly selected two members with unique experiences or traits — such as having won a championship, their biggest childhood fear, or their most embarrassing moment.


Each team then appointed one person to read out the clues, while members from other teams were allowed to ask questions not directly related to the answers, in order to deduce who the mystery person was. Laughter filled the room, especially when one reader accidentally let slip the word “she”, triggering instant laughter as everyone immediately guessed it must be one of the female members in that group.  Through humour and curiosity, the activity encouraged us to practise communication — especially initiating conversations with people we were not familiar with.

 

By the time the activities ended, it was already close to midnight. Some members stayed back to discuss club matters, others went out for supper, while some leaders continued chatting. As I had been juggling remote work alongside the activities throughout the day, my mind was already saturated with information. I decided to return to my room and rested until morning.


The next day, after completing my remote work, I walked to the restaurant for breakfast. It had not opened yet, so a few of us sat by the sea, quietly watching the waves. The tide had receded, and the morning air felt especially fresh. Once the restaurant opened, we finally sat down for breakfast.

 

From Team Building to Leadership Training

I felt the first day of team building like reorganising relationships between people. The second day of leadership training, however, focused on how these relationships could be transformed into a structure that allows an organisation to function sustainably.


The leadership training was conducted by Division K leaders. What stood out to me was that the trainers did not simply “teach”. Instead, they designed many interactive sessions and practical exercises, allowing participants to immediately reflect on and plan for their own clubs. The speakers also shared personal experiences, offering ideas we could adapt and discuss.  During the sharing sessions, I noticed how humble some club leaders were. Their sharing was sincere and grounded — not exaggerated, not performative. Their words conveyed that they were people who genuinely put in the work.


After the training, we took many photos together. The delegation travelling with me returned to Tawau that evening, while I stayed on for another night to focus on remote work. That night, me and several leaders gathered again for dinner, enjoying a generous seafood meal before heading to karaoke.

 

This journey was a blend of learning and rest. I am truly grateful to the leaders for their thoughtful planning, and to the sponsors for their support. These two days of team building and leadership training have broadened my perspective and given me space to reflect — allowing me to continue growing through learning.

AFTER DECLUTTERING, MY HOME AND MY MIND — FEEL LIGHTER

At the end of 2025, I took a good look around my home and realized something very clearly — I had too much stuff.  So much of it was no longer in use, or simply no longer useful. I reached out to a friend who volunteers with Tzu Chi, hoping to donate these unused items to people who genuinely need them.

What prompted this decision was actually a very ordinary moment. One day in December, after completing a routine online training session, I sat down on the sofa to rest. A thought crossed my mind: Will next year’s performance be better?  If I wanted to move forward, perhaps I needed to do something different.

 As I looked around, I noticed how many things in the house were no longer serving any purpose. At times, we even struggle to find what we actually need. These unused items don’t just take up physical space — they consume our time and mental energy. Searching, organizing, storing — all of it is exhausting. That was when the idea of decluttering came to me.

I knew I would need several large boxes.  So I went to Sunlight Pharmacy, where I regularly buy caregiving supplies for my mother, and asked the staff if I could have a few cartons. Perhaps because I’m a regular customer, they kindly let me choose the sizes myself. I picked four large boxes, each about half the size of an office desk.  One morning, I placed the boxes in the living room: one for paper, one for plastic, one for aluminum cans, and one for fabric items. Then I began sorting through the house, placing unwanted items into their respective boxes.

After spending most of the day, I uncovered quite a number of things that truly needed to be let go. Some items had been kept because I once believed, “I might need this someday.” That “someday” turned into ten years. Many of those items were still unopened, covered in dust. This time, I made up my mind — no matter what, they had to leave my life.

During the process, I stopped in front of a stack of documents and hesitated for a long while.  They were materials related to MeSTI food safety certification. When I first registered my company, I was determined to provide MeSTI consultancy services. Seven years passed, and not a single project was completed successfully. I had even experienced doubt and dismissal from others. I asked myself: Do I still want to hold on to this?  Those documents had been lying there quietly, constantly reminding me of an unfulfilled aspiration. Over time, they became an invisible weight, leaving me feeling suffocated.

In that moment, I made a decision — to let go of these materials for now and redirect my focus toward work that truly moves me forward.  As I continued organizing, I found an old plastic cabinet that hadn’t been used for years. On impulse, I cleaned it thoroughly and placed it in a newly cleared corner, using it to store work equipment that I actually need now. Once everything was done, I followed Tzu Chi’s recycling schedule and sent all the items to the recycling center. The back of the truck was filled to the brim. My wife and I exchanged a smile — we owned far more than we had realized.

When we returned home, the extra space brought an unexpected sense of ease. Not only were things easier to find, but my mind also felt noticeably lighter. Through this decluttering process, I learned to let go more decisively of things I no longer need.  Over the past few years, I’ve gradually developed the habit of buying only what is necessary — because earning money isn’t easy. In life, I’ve also begun to detach from activities, social circles, and work that no longer serve me. Sometimes, what we truly need to clear isn’t just physical clutter, but outdated expectations and attachments that no longer fit who we are.

This decluttering experience reaffirmed something important for me: only by letting go of what no longer suits us — including old beliefs — can we make room for new ideas and a fresh start. Stepping out of our comfort zone is often where new possibilities begin.

I believe doing a decluttering exercise once a year is actually a good practice. When the home holds less, the mind carries fewer distractions. More importantly, it creates a valuable opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed.

If life feels a little crowded lately, and your heart feels a little heavy — perhaps start with just one box.

I DIDN'T MAKE ANY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

We have stepped into 2026.  Over the past few days, as I scroll through Facebook, I see many friends reflecting on how 2025 went and planning what they want to achieve in 2026.

After turning 45, I have tried, almost every year to plan the direction of the year ahead. But often, not long after the new year begins, usually around February or March, unexpected things start happening that disrupt original plans. To keep life stable, I have no choice but to sacrifice what I planned and focus on what is urgent. And just like that, the plans get shelved. Before I realize it, another 365 days have passed.

Last year came with its fair share of messes. My emotions fluctuated a lot. But within that chaos, I also learned some lessons that were genuinely useful to me. I kept what suited me and began building habits that I believe can help me grow steadily.

So this year, I made a different decision—
no goals, only dreams.

Some might say that without goals, there is no direction, and action becomes aimless. And if there is no action, everything we expect, is just dreams. I don’t disagree. But I have come to realize that having dreams alone is not enough. And, no doubt. Action matters—but habitual action matters even more.

To me, habits are a source of momentum and a kind of automatic system. They don’t force me to do things I don’t believe in, at the wrong time or in the wrong setting. Instead, they allow me to complete what needs to be done, at a rhythm that feels right.

For example, at work, I often need to retrieve files from my computer, process documents, submit reports, or remind others of certain matters at specific times. Over time, I learned to anticipate when it would be best to handle these routine tasks—such as organizing everything right after completing the last job of the month. I later realized that what helped me survive periods of chaos was not planning itself, but the small actions that had already become habits.

These habits allow me to almost “automatically” complete what must be done each month—accurately and on time. Every step leaves a trace, a form of evidence. Even if something goes wrong, I can track it back instead of reacting in panic.

Gradually, I applied the same approach to daily life, financial planning, and community activities. After learning how to use Google Calendar, I became more intentional about planning my days. In the past, I used notebooks for this too. But when plans constantly failed to keep up with changes, motivation faded. Eventually, I questioned the meaning of planning at all and gave up.

Later, I understood something important: unexpected events happen every single day.

Take New Year’s Day as an example. I had planned to watch the movie A Step Into the Past with my family. Less than half an hour after the movie started, I received a work message and had to rush back home to deal with it on my computer. By the time I finished and returned to the cinema, the movie was already over. In that moment, I felt like an on-call doctor—always on standby. Similar situations happened countless times last year.

It's just work, not much to complain about. When these things didn’t go as it planned, the only option is to adjust the plan quickly—and this is when Google Calendar truly helps. It allows instant changes and timely reminders. Slowly, I learned how to keep moving forward within constant change. Little by little, my life began to feel flexible rather than out of control.

So this year, I gave myself only one task:
to activate my own automatic system.

Beyond stabilizing my work and life, taking care of my mother, and handling daily household matters, I am also deliberately cultivating habits that create value—writing, public speaking, serving in meeting roles, and participating in group activities. I believe that once habits are formed, momentum naturally follows. This makes value creation feel lighter and more genuine than forcing myself to chase specific goals.

More importantly, I have started to enjoy the process. When tasks are completed one by one, there is a quiet sense of satisfaction. Even without an audience, I know this much: I am making progress.

If you often find your life interrupted by unexpected events, perhaps it’s not that you lack discipline. Maybe you are simply living a life that requires a flexible system.

In 2026, there are no resolutions and no grand declarations.
But I know this—
as long as my habits remain, I will not stop.

WRITING WHAT I LOVE, EARNING WHAT I SEEK — HEART CHRONICLE

Hi, I’m Jacky.

Welcome to Heart Chronicle.

This is a space I write for myself — and for you.
It is not a stage for success stories, nor a shortcut-to-wealth blog.
Instead, it is an honest record of an ordinary person trying to earn a living, grow through real life, and stay true to who he is along the way.


🌱 Why I Started This Blog

Because life isn’t easy —
but I don’t want to live merely to survive.

I’m a trainer by profession, and a practitioner exploring different side-income paths.

At this stage of my journey, I am involved in:

  • Promoting digital products such as e-books created by others

  • Selling One XOX SIM cards online, mainly to younger users

  • Sharing and promoting online courses and digital products built by others

These are not “get-rich-quick” schemes.
They are hands-on experiences — learning the systems, facing rejections, and understanding what it really takes to earn income beyond a fixed salary.

At the same time, I pay close attention to emotional well-being and inner clarity, and I am preparing myself for the long-term learning journey of trading and investing.

Through writing, I want to document this process —
to see whether someone imperfect, through consistency and honest reflection, can slowly build a sustainable path toward passive income.

I want to earn without losing my humanity.
I want to grow without losing myself.
That is why I write.


✍️ What You’ll Find Here

At Heart Chronicle, I share ongoing and truthful reflections, including:

πŸ“± Side-income practices and real experiences
(Promoting digital products, One XOX SIM cards, online courses, and other initiatives)

πŸ˜” Emotional reflections and inner work
Moments that are not always polished, but deeply real

πŸ“– Writing and content creation practice
From organizing thoughts to building consistency

πŸ’‘ Thoughts on mindset shifts, income models, and everyday observations

Here, you’ll find attempts as well as setbacks;
practical experiences alongside quiet self-dialogue.
Sometimes structured and clear, sometimes slow and reflective.

This is me —earning a living while finding my way back to myself.


πŸ‘£ What You Can Expect

If you’re also looking for
a grounded, unpretentious approach to side income;
if you hope to build a life with clarity and integrity, step by step —

You’re welcome to subscribe, leave a message, or share your thoughts.
You’re also welcome to bring your story and sit here for a while.

This path may not be fast,
but I will walk it with honesty.

I look forward to walking alongside you.
