guidelines for my life.

On rainy days like this, reading at home is good,

The recommended way to spend your time is to "make time to face yourself."

Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to announce it on my blog...

At each turning point in my life, I create a "future notebook" for myself and my family.

Originally, when I first started dating my partner, we were both busy working from morning until late at night.

I go back and forth from work to home every day, and on my days off, I'm stressed and tired, and I binge eat and drink (lol).

There was a time when I lost track of what I was living for.

I'm a little sick because I don't have any goals in life and just work and consume...

In the midst of all this, they started the ``Future Notebook'' in hopes of giving them hope for their lives.

This is quite elaborate (lol)

I'm embarrassed to show it to you, but it took nearly a month to complete, including photos and illustrations (lol)

Only me and my partner can see it...

3 years later, 5 years later, 10 years later...

What kind of people would you like to be?

work, family structure, lifestyle, etc.

I'm writing this alone, so my partner's opinion won't be there,

I will update my notebook filled with my hopes and dreams at each milestone.

The first time I made it was for my 30th birthday.

Both of us had a little bit of a career in the sales industry, and we could see a little bit of our future prospects.

It was also a time when my partner was very tired from working hard every day.

Therefore, I created the ``Future Note'' in hopes of showing some hope for the lives of these two.

I added to that note that we would "own our own store."

I never thought that three years later, I would actually be able to open my own shop.

Once you clarify what you want to do, in order to make it a reality,

Calculate what you need by working backwards.

We carefully plan the funds, information, and plans necessary to open a store in three years.

Find the best choice.

Thanks to this “future note”...

That dream came true, and we were blessed with many customers in Hiroshima.

We were able to really run our own shop.

Surrounded by our favorite local customers,

I guess my original path was to continue running my shop in Hiroshima, where I have my beloved family and friends...

We have decided to close our store in Hiroshima for three years and relocate to Fukuoka.

Of course, I wrote a "future note" before deciding to relocate and emigrate.

The most important thing, of course, was the store.

And about family.

It took a lot of courage to close the store in Hiroshima, which was finally starting to get off the ground.

I saw many customers who loved our store in Hiroshima say, ``I miss you so much...''

I felt sorry for the parents who would no longer be able to see their grandchildren's faces.

However, the "future notes" I wrote are full of bright hope.

Five years from now, ten years from now,

It contains a dream so grand that even I can't believe it. (lol)

When I write my “Future Note”, the most important thing is:

Create something that meets your wishes at that time.

Even if it seems unlikely that it will come true, write it down and use it as a guideline for your future life.

In three years, I will be in my 40s.

At that time, I am thinking of creating a new "future notebook".

This notebook is packed with hints to help you and the important people around you be happy.

It's a note that I won't show to anyone, but

For me, it is something that is more poignant and helpful than any other book.

Take some time for yourself once in a while,

Because we can face the future,

I would also recommend it to people who are a little tired or have worries.
