The Red Light of Life: Embracing Our Own Pace

Aren’t we always anxious, looking at the backs of others moving ahead at a fast pace?

Let’s stop at the red light

I often watch TikTok. You could say it’s one of my hobbies.
After work, I spend a little time on TikTok. That time is my relaxation time.

As you enter your forties, you tend to study more about ways of living your life.The reason is to live the rest of your life energetically. A strong force is needed to live. Watching TikTok, I often learn a lot about how to live life.

There was something very impressive in the TikTok I watched yesterday. A woman was speaking in Korean, and the content was very striking. Since she was speaking in Korean, I translated it into English to reach the hearts of many people.

Let’s steadily go at our own pace

Especially for busy modern people, I believe that acting on this advice can yield good results.

Aren’t we always rushing through life, comparing ourselves to others?Sometimes, I think we really need a period of rest, charging, and recovery. That’s the red light period. We
