Nothing Comes Easy but Everything is Possible!

 

I AM 48! 

I made it! I am alive and I am having the best time of my life.  I have just started again. I am very thankful that I am living today to have interesting stories to share for years to come and I look forward to do so with each and everyone of you that has made it a very special and memorable one thus far. 

I am grateful. 🙏

48th years of pain, struggles, challenges & adventures of life's ups & downs that were lessons learnt teaching me to enjoy my unique journey no matter what the situation that have brought so much happiness and growth for me.

I am grateful. 🙏

I always thought that I was living a good life before I found myself living the life that truly makes me happy today. Yes I am happy today & thankful for this 2nd opportunity to do so. 

I am grateful. 🙏

How did I get to where I am today? 

1. I made a decision that would change everything. 

2. I lost everything that was meaningful to me. 

3. I lost loved ones that meant everything to me. 

4. I started to let go, move forward & just live my life for me first.

5. I no longer cared for everything especially opinions of others. 

6. I am a whole lot more generous with myself by treating myself with more self care. 

7. I love more freely with what I have to offer however I like. 

8. I just work on things that I am interested in with purpose. 

9. I just work on myself becoming better everyday for me first. 

10. I love myself more and just do Ernie Chen. 

So for my 48th Birthday, I sincerely wish for all to be able to live the life that you truly deserve cause we all deserve better. Have an awesome year ahead & make this the best year yet for you because you decided for it to be. 

P/S: I was once 156kg and today I am 66kgs. I lost a total of 90Kgs. I made a commitment to myself to live a better life for I, me & myself for the rest of my life. I am truly enjoying my journey and if you want to achieve anything as bad as you want to breathe, anything is possible. This is the best Birthday present I gift to myself. 

I am grateful. 🙏

Nothing comes easy but everything is possible. Welcome to my new life. A life worth living. ❤️

I am grateful. 🙏

You control your destiny and only you have responsibility for your life.
Be clear on what you want and what you want to achieve in your life, for you, for your family or for your loved ones.
Go all out, and only you can make it happen. Do not need to care what other people is thinking about you. You live your life.

Happy 48th sir! You're an inspiration to many people that are thinking of doing something for their life and still found to be stagnant. It is never easy to do those that you have done but somehow you have proven to many people like us as it was easy to be done. Keep inspiring us as you always did.

Efforts often lead to results. With the right mindset, sincere dedication and persistence, the ultimate objectives will be achieved.

Past experiences are great lessons and inspirations for us to move stronger. The learning curves never end. The choice is always ours (as individuals or an organization). Successful individuals and organizations are those who are determine to do better, capitalizing from the successes or failures in the past with an ultimate objective in their mind and heart - to keep doing better and to move forward strongly despite all the challenges and hurdles faced.

Giving up is an easy way out. Many fails because they make this simplest decision. It is when we give up that we stop inspiring ourselves or the others. Leaders stand strong and are visionary, despite all the challenges.

Great leaders have great determination to continue the aspirations and build the organization, placing themselves as a role model for the others. Tough times never last but tough people do last. While difficulties are transient, great leaders are durable.

I'm sure losing weight is more than about dieting and working out, it's about pushing yourself to stay motivated and determined, especially on the days when you are just not in the mood. Congrats on losing that much weight, Mr. Ernie. Stay inspirational!

Happy Birthday Mr Ernie !

Losing 90 kgs and work hard to stay healthy are the best birthday gift ever.
It's all start with self love. Once we start loving our self, we start to feel better, and start to attract better.

Let's continue to work hard and archive more. This year will be a GOOD year.

Such as inspiring story! Mr Ernie, Congrats and Happy birthday!

AND YES SIFU! YOU DID IT!

This picture really says it all, and also with me seeing the progress every single day & night.

It required a lot of sacrifices & discipline. It happened, and biggest reason are the consistent & continuous dicipline & sacrifices of Sifu putting in. Or else, it's impossible.

Mind over matter, you proved it to the world. You makes everything possible. Definitely a real great role model for everyone of us to follow.

Again, success is not overnight. This year would be our year of HARVESTING!!! Thank you for your continuous inspiration!

WE ARE JUST ONE DAY AWAY!!!

Happy Belated Birthday Sifu!

Apa jua yang terjadi, ia merupakan satu arah untuk kita lebih berjaya. Pekakkan telinga apabila orang mengeji kita. Dan anda telah buktikannya dengan kejayaan anda hari ini di usia 48 tahun.

We decide what we want for our life. Some time being more selfish for ourselves it makes us feel better instead of putting all of our effort, heart and soul on others and yet the person do not appreciate it.

Focus on ourselves and make sure we are so healthy & fit and the right wan will come along with our journey together and achieve our GOAL.

2021 is a Harvest Year and it's gonna be damn Awesome with our energy & positivity!

Happy Birthday Boss !!

Happy Birthday Sifu!

You really sacrificed alot to make this happened. Your hardwork is paid off.

Use the results to attract the opportunities then harvest it!


At the meantime take care of yourself 🙏🏻

The person who hinder your success not others, but your mentality

As long as you have the right attitude, faith and ability to face anything positively, the things that you are chasing will slowly come over you.

If you do not take any action, it is equal to nothing. Taking action and self-discipline can lead you to the destination.

Happy Birthday Mr.Ernie!!

Dear Mr. Ernie,

Thank you giving us such a good opportunity to be in Hell's Gym Journey. Defination of 'opportunity' is a situation in which it is possible for you to do something that you want to do. Yes, finally we made up our mind and make it happen! Everything is possible if we really want to make it.

Anything is possible, we just need to decide what we want to do, believe in it, and do the SHIT to make sure we achieve what we want.

Keep working, never give up till the target is achieved!

You are such an inspiration to us, the younger generation that everything is possible if we put our minds to it. I am sure it will get pretty hard and tough at the beginning but somehow you have proven to us as it was easy to be done when we stay motivated and consistent throughout the journey. Many people may overlook health as one of the precious gifts from God because it is free. Thus, be extra grateful for whatever you have in your life now.
