A rainy Friday night.
I decided to take a seat at the balcony to enjoy the breeze and a cup of warm tea made by Mr Yeo while I recall how life has changed for us both in the last 365 days after he wore his Double Dragon ring from Lotus on Water.
Never had either of us experience such drastic change in life before and to think back on the journey we embarked together in search for better quality of life through fengshui, it had been more than amazing. The journey was full of the good and better happenings. I can confidently say that the best is yet to come because we are really just at the beginning of the peak of our lives.
Mr Yeo made the decision to purchase the ring 9 months after his first purchase of his Lotus bamboo jadeite in March 2020. It was a difficult decision to part with tens of thousands, all with the strong faith in what it would bring him, and eventually me and our families. It was indeed one of his best decisions as this decision changed the rest of his life chapters. For the better and the best.
He wore the Ring approximately a week prior to the Winter Solstice so that he would be getting another blessing from Master Yun within a month, and this is known as "double blessing" in Lotus (my advise to you is that should you be wanting to get an item from Master Yun close to Chinese New Year, Lotus anniversary or Winter Solstice, just do it!). It was a grand virtual affair and both of us participated as volunteers to help out for the first time AND I WON ONE OF THE GRAND PRIZES ON THAT DAY!

Mr Yeo was working as a sales professional and upon wearing the Lotus Ring, he had new pipelines building in the next 3 months, leading to great sales results (and of course, monetary rewards). He was delighted that the Lotus Ring boosted his sales greatly and what we did not realise was that the heavens had better plans for him.
He was suddenly told to leave as part of the company restructuring due to the pandemic and that he was one of the younger sales in the company without children. It was as if life gave him a tight slap in his face out of a sudden and without any warning. Who would have thought that one of the top performing sales would be asked to leave when he had just gotten the Ring 3 months ago?
Moments of self-doubt did sink into both of us and while he asked himself what he did not do right and I asked myself what I did not do enough to support him as a wife. I am not going to lie and say that we both had remained very positive during that period of time because while he was going through this, I was told that my pay would be cut 20% due to pandemic and my company started to delay my pay and CPF contribution. Financial stress is indeed one of the key reasons couples quarrel but I was glad that we were able to hold each other up, care and be gentle on one another.
Shortly after, he managed to find a sales job which totally opened up his horizon. The job offered him insights on business strategies, initial public offerings etc. It was in this job that he met his benefactors and that he decided to take the biggest leap of faith in his life...
Being his own boss. And quit the rat race.

And yes, in less than a year after wearing the Lotus Ring, Mr Yeo became a boss and started a company with a partner.
365 days after wearing the Ring and less than 2 months of setting up his company, he is now in talks to collaborate with industry partners to be the game changer in the industry and opportunities never stop knocking on his door.
As his wife, no words can describe how thankful I am that things are looking bright and great for us and that Mr Yeo has taken the step and take on what that might have slipped away should he still possess his old mindset and without the Lotus Ring to help bring on the opportunity. He has always been a very careful person, weighing every options, preferring to always be contented with life. There is nothing wrong with him being careful or being contented with life.
However, deep inside his heart and mind, he has always wanted to provide more for himself, for me, our future family and our original families. Being the eldest grandson, eldest son, eldest brother to his siblings and a husband, he subconsciously yearn to give more but it seems impossible all the time because he only has an ITE certificate and setting up business is never his cup of tea due to the unpredictable changes in market and economy.
Even though we are not yet so rich that we can splurge $500 a meal for both of us every single day, we do not need to worry about not having enough for the rest of the month if we spend a bit more on fanciful restaurants on weekly basis. We are also able to foot the entire bill for a good meal with our family. Nothing beats seeing our family's faces lit up when they enjoy the food which they may not have tasted before.

Mr Yeo has lost his grandfather due to old age a couple of months back and we will never, ever be able to bring him out for a better meal. He was a quiet, traditional man who was very stern in making sure his grandchildren get the basic manners and values right and he was the one who taught Mr Yeo how to use chopsticks and brought him out for outings whenever possible. I am sure, at the speed that things are going for him, Mr Yeo will soon stand proudly in front of his altar and tell him that, "Ah Gong, I hope I have made you proud because I did it and I can take good care of the family now".
While I am about to pen off since it is over midnight now, he is not home yet as he has gone for a meeting at his partner's house after making the tea for me. I know he is working hard to further amplify the power of his Lotus Ring so that he can achieve his ultimate life goal.
My advise to you is, don't wait for things to happen. The faster you kickstart your journey with Lotus, the lower the cost of opportunity loss will be for you. Sometimes, you need to step out of your comfort zone and open up your outlook in life before you can grow. And even if you are young, don't wait. Because while you may have the luxury of time, someone close to you whom you want to celebrate success with may not have that.
