Hello, question asker! I'm Jiang 61, and I'm excited to help you!
I'm so grateful you've put your trust in us and are willing to share your challenges so we can help you find solutions! You've asked, "Can a 34-year-old woman, married with no children and no skills, still turn her life around?"
From this, I can see that you are ready to make something of yourself! First, give yourself a hug and don't worry. Take some time to think and we'll get started on your answer. Let me ask you a question first. Can you answer me? Do you believe in yourself?
And there's one more thing! Ask yourself this question and then write down your answer. I'd love to hear it!
1. Know yourself
1. Hobbies
You are 34 years old, married with no children, and have a whole host of amazing hobbies, including painting, psychology, yoga, and reading! While these hobbies can't be monetized, they bring you immense joy and fulfilment.
I see that you say you don't have a skill, but you love painting, psychology, yoga, and reading! I don't know if you're still doing these things, but I bet you're at a really good level by now.
You don't believe these hobbies can bring you income. What's your reason?
I'd love to hear your reasons!
I believe you! These are all professions that make money.
Painting is a great way to make money!
The great news is that many amateur painters can earn a good income by submitting their work in various forms, selling paintings in galleries, and opening online stores to sell their paintings.
Psychology
Many people who study psychology are not professionals in psychology. They also study psychology out of a passion for helping others and themselves. They are dedicated and hard-working, and they can also earn a good income by working part-time on various platforms and in consulting organizations.
Yoga
The same goes for yoga studies! If you want to pursue a career, you can do it! All you need to do is spend time and energy studying with dedication, learning thoroughly, and specializing. Nothing comes easy, but you can do it! You just need to study hard and turn what you learn into your own exclusive skills. Then you can show off your talents!
Reading
Reading is an amazing way to create wealth for yourself! You can write book reviews, book summaries, lead readers, introduce books, and share your reading experiences for professional platforms. Many platforms accept such creations and pay for the work.
Therefore, you say that these hobbies cannot be monetized, either because you have tried and it hasn't worked out yet, or because you are excited to try and make it work!
2. Ability
Your ability is one of your greatest assets. It's what sets you apart and allows you to excel in any field.
Absolutely! You can absolutely become a confident, financially independent, and interesting person!
You want to become a confident, financially independent, and witty person, and I think that's a fantastic idea! I'm giving you a big thumbs-up for it!
That's fantastic! It shows you're a person with ideas and high expectations of yourself.
It's so inspiring to see people turn their hobbies into careers! It takes a lot of confidence, concentration, seriousness, perseverance, hard work, courage to try and fail, and diligence in practice. But it's so worth it when you succeed! Having perseverance and self-discipline is both a character trait and an ability.
3. Expectations
The meaning of expectation is to have a vision or longing for an unknown moment or thing in the future. In real life, expectations are the transformation of desires into concrete "expectations," including expectations of oneself, expectations of others, and expectations of others of oneself.
From your description above, it's clear that you have big plans for yourself! You want to become a confident, financially independent, and funny person. Having expectations is normal, and it's great that you have such ambitious goals. Having expectations can sometimes lead to pressure, but it's also an opportunity to grow and develop new coping mechanisms.
2. The key to success!
You aspire to be a confident, financially independent, and humorous person, which is fantastic! I really appreciate that you have such admirable ideals.
You're worried that it's too late to become such a person at 34. Well, I'm here to tell you that it's never too late! I'll answer your question by sharing the key to success from the dimensions of time, key points, self-confidence, and the practice of ambition.
Time!
Most famous people didn't become famous at a young age. They all found their own way late in life, and it's inspiring to see how they succeeded! Take the famous traditional Chinese painting master Qi Baishi, for example. He only started painting after the age of 30, and he was already famous by the time he was 57!
This is a perfect example of what we call a "late bloomer." So, as you can see, time has never been the key to success!
The key to success is...
The key to success is matching one's interests, hobbies, abilities, and qualities. Human ability and quality are the key—and they're yours for the taking!
Let's talk about Qi Baishi! He didn't start painting until he was 30, but he made up for lost time! He was diligent and fearless in the face of failure. This is the meaning of the saying "Diligence breeds excellence."
He specialized in a particular field and just kept at it until he made it a masterpiece! He turned his interest into work and made it into a craft. And he became famous and successful only in his later years. This was the key to his success!
His incredible endurance and persistence are a true testament to his abilities and professional accomplishments.
And the most important thing of all is confidence!
There's a saying that goes, "Believe in the power of belief." This is great news for anyone looking to achieve their dreams! It means that when you believe in yourself, you can unlock your potential, find the motivation to do great things, tackle challenges head-on, and make your dreams a reality. So, believe in yourself and go out there and make it happen!
If you want something, go get it! There's always a way to make it happen.
Pies never fall from the sky! Talents don't come overnight either!
If you have aspirations, you will naturally set goals for yourself to achieve and work hard towards them. You will never rest until you reach your goal—and you will reach it!
Therefore, success is only for those who are mentally prepared, determined, and confident. And it's just a matter of time! With the right mindset, you can make your dreams a reality. Where there's a will, there's a way!
3. Give yourself a big, well-deserved pat on the back!
As mentioned earlier, do you know yourself? The key to success, etc., are all intended to tell you through examples that success is possible for everyone. It requires time, ability, self-confidence, and ambition to be in place in order to make yourself successful—and you can do it!
1. Find your true interests and dive in!
Focus on your interests!
You've shared so many of your hobbies and interests with us! I know you have other things to do, including work and family matters that need to be taken care of. It's impossible to arrange everything at the same time, and your time is limited. But you can make the best use of your energy and satisfy your interests by focusing on one or two of your favorite things!
Go for it! Do one or two things really well.
Plan and expect the best!
Once you've identified your interests, it's time to start planning their development! It might take a little time and effort, but it'll be worth it in the end. You'll need to think about things like time, stages, goals, steps, testing, evaluation, and adjustment.
Planning is all about implementing, measuring, and achieving your goals while respecting your own objective reality.
Self-motivation is your best friend!
When implementing a plan, you also need to establish a self-motivation mechanism to motivate yourself to complete the plan and witness the results of completing the plan. This is essential for your growth and the development of your interests—and it's an exciting process!
Self-motivation is also a fantastic way to keep going with new interests. Because motivation is based on the belief that you can do it, and also on small successes, self-motivation allows you to build up your own confidence that you can do it!
And that's why self-motivation is such an essential step on the road to success!
Self-motivation can be as simple as a small gift, a small ceremony, or even a big meal! These little tokens of appreciation are a great way to recognize and celebrate your achievements, and they're also an essential step in building self-confidence.
2. Match your interests with your abilities and watch your potential soar!
It's important to match your interests with your abilities. If your interests are higher than your abilities, you'll naturally start to lose interest as you delve deeper into your interests. This is because your abilities are too high. On the other hand, if your abilities are too low, they won't be able to satisfy the needs of interest development. This can cause you to develop a fear of your interests, which will also cause you to lose interest in their continued development.
3. Practice!
The above example of the success of the old master Qi Baishi is meant to show that having expectations and plans is not enough to lead you to success. But don't worry! You can be determined and confident in order to put them into practice.
Perseverance is key!
Interest is important for success, but it is not the determining factor. Perseverance is the key to success! If you can't persist in doing something you're interested in, your skills won't improve. But if you keep at it, your skills will improve, and your interest will grow. You'll be amazed at how much you can achieve when you put your mind to it!
Self-confidence is key!
As mentioned earlier, self-confidence plays a driving role in success. I absolutely believe in myself, and that is what enables me to persevere. If I don't believe in myself, I will lose confidence in myself and be unable to self-discipline myself to keep going.
So, self-confidence is very important!
Now for the fun part: practice and testing!
As mentioned earlier, Qi Baishi's successful experience was continuous practice. And it's so important to keep practicing after you have a plan and incentives!
Practice makes perfect! Testing is a great way to make sure your plan is on track and that you're on the right track.
This will really help your interests to grow and develop!
Practice also includes participating in platform activities, which are a great way to test the effectiveness of your interest development. You can also collaborate with institutions to turn your interests into reality and make them even more exciting!
4. Ability improvement
This is where the magic happens! Your abilities will skyrocket as you learn and grow. You'll become a master craftsman or master like Qi Baishi. You'll develop skills that will become your true abilities. Your confidence will soar, and financial independence and success will be within reach. Believe in yourself!
Learning is an amazing process!
The more you learn, the more you'll understand your interests. And as your knowledge and skills grow, you'll be able to develop your interests even more. You'll be able to turn your interests into a career and business, just like Qi Baishi did!
Now for the fun part! Deliberate practice.
Deliberate practice is an amazing way to develop your interests! It can turn your interest into a habit, help you remember the skills you've learned, and even turn it into your true ability.
If you can do the above, get ready for a boost in confidence, a surge in abilities, and your interest becoming a skill! Financial independence and success will be right around the corner. Don't worry, it's just a matter of time. Believe in yourself!
And finally, I wish the original poster all the very best health and success!
