How a Pisces Dream Came True: My Journey of Building a Heart-Led Moxibustion Business
Lately, I’ve been seeing this phrase pop up in astrology chats: “For Pisces, the one thing you must never do is laugh at their dreams.” It struck me deeply. Last night before bed, I shared this line with Yangyang’s father and told him, “I really resonate with this. You always laugh at my dreams—and it really upsets me.” He replied, “But your dream has already come true. It’s not a dream anymore. How could I dare laugh at it?”
That answer warmed me deeply. For the first time in a long while, I felt seen. I felt respected again.
My dream has always been simple: to live and work according to my own rhythm, especially when it comes to my business. I used to avoid talking to Yangyang’s father about my work because I was afraid he’d dismiss it with something like, “That’s silly!” And maybe it is—I am a little silly. But I’ve always chosen to do the things others say can’t be done. Even though it’s hard and often thankless, I believe the care and effort I pour in will eventually be felt. If what I make is truly good, it will be recognized one day.
I believe that. It’s just a matter of time. I’m patient. Once I believe in something, I don’t give up easily.
Looking back, yes—I’ve had to carry pressure, but I’ve also been lucky. My father has supported me all along. He told me once, “How many times in life do we get to give it our all? No one knows whether the next step is right or wrong. If you want to do it, go for it. No regrets. If it turns out to be wrong, just come back and try again. I’m behind you.”
Yangyang’s father said my dream came true—maybe because in the past, he didn’t quite believe my sales would improve so much. He simply gave me the space to try, to struggle, to build. Day after day, I’ve worked from morning to night, following my own path. Slowly, more and more people started recognizing my products. I’m always busy shipping out orders.
I’m not a particularly clever person. But my energy has been growing steadily, and now he can feel it. He’s starting to see that many of my ideas and beliefs actually make sense—and are working. Being innocent or a little naïve isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes, there’s a special kind of luck that comes with it.
My dream came true when my moxa sticks began earning the trust and praise of my customers. The philosophy I’ve held onto attracted people who genuinely care and want to help. Opening my heart has led to some hurt—but even more love. I feel touched, day by day. Slowly, I’ve started to affirm myself. I’ve begun to feel confident. I’m not afraid to speak up anymore.
I’ve even started to truly enjoy life—food tastes better, and I sleep more peacefully.
Every day, I love chatting with friends in my community group. Whether it’s health knowledge or just playful banter, I feel relaxed there. It’s lighthearted and easy. Sure, I sometimes mention my moxa products, but I never feel like I’m pressuring anyone. I’m not trying to push anyone to buy. My real hope is that everyone stays healthy and well. If you find another brand that suits you better, go for it. But if you’re curious about mine, I’d be honored for you to give it a try.
Let go of selfishness—and suddenly, the world opens up.
Yangyang’s father is about to leave for a new job in Shenzhen. His current role hasn’t allowed him to realize his full value, and this opportunity in Shenzhen feels like a better fit. He’s thought long and hard about it—mainly because of how much he loves our family. While I’ll miss him deeply, I understand that he too has a dream to chase. So let him go give it a shot.
Since he’ll be leaving next month, he’s been cooking more at home, baking bread, helping with our child, even trying to follow some of my suggestions in parenting. Honestly, when hearts are aligned, a little distance doesn’t matter. Everyone needs to live true to themselves.
We all need a dream. And we need to find ways to fulfill it.
To those who support me, challenge me, love me, or don’t love me—thank you. You’ve helped me grow.
