A few repairs and updates are coming your way to http://pickmeupbook.org ! Check back often to discover the cool things that will amaze you again at the beautiful spirit borne from Pick Me Up

Hi guys!

 We’re working on the second edition of our book already! Stay tuned for more news and updates. We’re happy to let you know that one of our readers have posted in to share her story- Ms Louisa Okon from Perth, Australia! Check it out in our Your Story section.

If you have YOUR own story to share with us, be it a story when someone picked you up, or you had to go through a difficult period of your life, or you did your part in assisting others, drop us an email at pickmeupbook@gmail.com ! We’ll be glad to hear from you.

What does it really mean to make the Impossible possible?

It means challenging all the beliefs you ever had in your life. It means plunging in to what you truly hold dear to and putting your heart and soul into it. It means to let go off all the people saying to you, “You cannot do it! It’s ridiculous!” And, it means putting in every ounce of strength and effort you’ve ever had (or didn’t know you ever had!) in your body

However, it doesn’t mean it’s easy. It doesn’t mean it can be done always. And it certainly doesn’t mean that just by doing the above, things come out the way you always want it to.

Just never give up.  Only keep moving forward. To add, a wise lady even said to us, “Even if you fall, fall forward.”

Chop wood, carry water.

Life is a journey. And in this journey, we seek means to live it fully, and experience our best “version” of it. Maybe you want a happy family or a luxurious lifestyle. Maybe you desire to travel, and explore the unknown adventures that lurk behind every tree, rock or drift. Maybe you want to own an empire, leave a legacy behind. Or perhaps you desire to save the world in your own little ways. These are the dreams we have.

Are you on your way to realizing your dream? Or have you been in touch with what you truly desire? Do you love your work that you create in this world? Do you love waking up in the morning and watching the day unfolds?

Are you living the life you truly want?

Wondered where we went?

Sleeping at one corner??

In broad daylight???

Actually, no we weren’t slacking off somewhere, instead….

We took a BREAK!

for Chinese New Year! This year has just started great. We went around our favourite round robin trips and filled our tummies with lots of good food. And particularly, the lion dance performances were especially good this year. Extra loud and perky! Really love them.

Pick Me Up is back in action! This break has been refreshing, new plans are in the works and we are all raring to go!

So how was your Lunar New Year? Did you get lots of ang paos? Enjoyed your family reunion dinner? Manage to tie loose ends and start the year anew?

The team here believes in clearing clutters and doing simple acts to finish unhandled business. So that we can move on to the bigger things in life! Have you been making use of the 5 Lessons from Pick Me Up? Did you take steps to clear your clutter?

The Book launch party has been quite happening! We played video to showcase the entire process of the Pick Me Up Book Campaign over the past 3 weeks. We autographed the books and even did “Lao Yu Sheng”!

For those whom missed out the fun, you could still get a sneak-peak into the event via the photo. (refer to previous post for link)

Last 2 days, we’ve been busy with our booth at Singapore Management University.

We sold an additional 50 books approximately within the few hours at our booth. It’s really great to have the support of the faculty members and students of Singapore Management University. In fact, most of the feedbacks have been really encouraging and supportive! Thank you guys for your continued support in our book-charity campaign =)

Another piece of great news to share!

• WHY DO THEY DO THAT? It’s because they set out on a mission to remind the world that it is possible to turn dreams into reality!
