Today was the first girl's night at Dolce.
With only one recliner in the whole place, my good friends Ami and Miki and I sat on the wood floor and talked away.
今日は、ドルチェで初ガールズナイト。
まだ、リクライニングチェア一台しか無いドルチェで、床にべったり座りながら仲良しのあみちゃんとみきちゃんと色々語り合った。
We all have our issues. Our thoughts on the future. What we should do going forth and how our actions now are going to connect with the actions we want to take later in life. We're at a point where "marriage" and "family" are all becoming reality and as women, we start thinking about what to do with our careers.
皆それぞれ色々悩んでいるね。今の自分の行動と将来の自分の行動をどう繋げるべきかとか、今後どういうライフワークをやって行きたいのかとか。やっぱりこの歳になると「結婚」「家庭」「家族」と言うものもリアルになってくるし、女性としてはキャリアのアプローチもどうしようかとか。
But having issues and having things to think about, a future to worry about is actually a blessing. The reason why we have concerns is because we have choices. Because there is something to make better. There's no need to think that "concerns" are a negative thing.
でも、悩むって凄く贅沢なことだな〜とふと思った今。悩むことは選択肢があるから出来る事。より良くするものがあるから出来ること。悩みをネガティブなことに感じる必要はない。
You can always continue to think while taking action. I think a fulfilling life is one where you always have something to be concerned about. You decide on one thing, act on it, but then another issue comes up. But that's really a sign of current growth, and hope for continued future growth.
そして、悩みながらでも行動できる事は沢山ある。充実した人生は、常に悩み、課題がある人生だと思う。一つ決まって、それを実行して、また違う悩みが出てくる。それは、成長している証拠だし、今後も成長し続ける希望。
I act like I don't have any concerns in life, but that's definitely not the case lol. After opening Nail Up, I was always questioning whether this business was really utilizing my strengths, or whether it was fulfilling my future objectives ... or what were my objectives to begin with? Maybe you're supposed to think these things through before acting on it, but I guess I do things a bit out of order.
全然悩んでなさそうで、実は私だって色々悩んで今に至ってるんだよ。ネイルアップをやりながら、「私の強みが活かせてない」とか「目指すべきとこはそこじゃない」とか「何を目的にネイルサロンをやってるの？」とか。多分、一般的にはそういう疑問を詰めてから行動するのかもしれない。でも、私は、行動しながら悩む派。
I believe that taking action is the best way to grow. If you don't, you get stuck thinking in circles and stop yourself based on very limited input, and leave absolutely no result. You start at zero and end at zero. I don't care if I start at zero and end in the negatives; because I believe that the next time around I'll be that much more positive. Failure is a result, after all.
行動より身に付くものはない。行動しないと、結局、狭い範囲で悩んで、自分を止めて、結果もなにも残らない。ゼロから始まってゼロで終わる。私は、ゼロで始まって、例えマイナスになっても、次は、その分プラスになると信じている。失敗だって結果だし。
Ami, Miki, let's keep thinking and let's keep living. Simultaneously.
あみちゃん、みきちゃん、悩みながら生きて行こう。
