New books

I am thinking of some books to write. Maybe I'd write a book Living a Life of Grace, or maybe The Untold Success Secrets, or maybe My Favorite Toy as a Kid. Those are just titles that came out of my mind. I'm not sure if I would definitely write them but I want to write and inspirational business book of some sort because that is my language, my thoughts. I hope I can share something about it. I hope to be able to devote some time into thinking about the book I am gonna write. I have this pressure to amount to something, to achieve something as time passes me by and not just do nothing or seem to do nothing when I do alot for my family especially about emotional and physical support. I may not be able to give financial support for I don't have work that is not an excuse for me not to try. Every person in this world has work except me, haha, and I do it rather well. I take care of my family. And I think that is a big plus. In my country, I think it is common to have young people who don't have work or who fight for work I mean fight for one position because jobs here have plenty of applicants and only one survivor. What a pity! I believe jobs should be easy to find because that's their source of living. No one should go hungry. If other people get their toys, other people don't even have money for their daily sustainance. i hope God will solve these problems. I think God has given to man the opportunity and the power to be able to solve these problems but the problem is some people are selfish and so there is not enough. If only people will learn to share. No one will go hungry. No one will be poor. No one will need help. Maybe we should stop being hypocrites. and start sharing with one another. There are people who have so much for themselves. While others live in cartons, spaceless, airless, dirty homes. i pray for them. May God solve all these problems. God please give us the solution to these problems as a means of helping them. We are sorry for we cannot do it all. Please give them the courage to stand on their own, not being ashamed of themselves and do something for themselves for I believe they have talents and gifts that You yourself have given to them for them to be rich in every aspect that You want them to be rich. Sometimes, when you think about it life is just a game. Those people on the top are not necessarily the most intelligent ones or the most deserving ones. But they are there because they have triumphed over their adversities. Please tell them that they have the responsibility to reach out to those who are needy. Let us stop materialism, selfish motives. Bring back sharing and respect for other human beings. It would have been a better world if we only learn to help other people. May God be with us.

New businesses

I have searched the internet and have found some interesting businesses to start with. I hope i can go back to my old pace, I would rather be comfortable than sacrifice what i already have to being busy with the hopes of making big bucks. I would like to engage in real estate and house construction, car accessories, trainings, accounting software, food, mutual funds. Of course, these are just options for I still have to talk with concerned people about these accounts for my business. I hope to learn all I can about these businesses and to market them. I hope to make some money. There is a secret I know in making money and I think that is in connecting with people. And so to be able to be good in business you have to be good with people, with relationships, with being friends with somebody. It's like life only spent with numbers. For money is an important aspect of life. You cannot live without it. So wish me luck. I also hope to find the words for my book/s to write. I am looking forward to these wonderful things to happen to me. I will be doing it for my mom and my future family. God bless me and the rest of the world.

Some business aspects

The good thing about having your own business is that you get to have a job on your own without having to go to employment. The problem is if you don't have much cash in your pocket, where will you get your funds to fund your projects? There are also uncertainties in the business. Sometimes, you will need to work out certain agreements, but sometimes, an account does not push through because of certain circumstances like maybe they don't want to communicate with you anymore, or that the business is not on going anymore. Sometimes, you just wanted things to push through but as in life, it is through God's fate for you that everything will materialize. I failed to go to a business orientation about fire and security systems yesterday. But in the evening, I scanned entrepreneur.com.ph and found out several businesses which interests me. Now, I have about 4 new business ideas to include in my list of accounts to include in the business that I plan to start doing sometime in September. I hope it will be a breakthrough. I hope to make money from it. And most specially, I hope to learn about business from doing it. God gives everything to His children and so I hope He will answer my prayers for it. One is about real estate, the other about house construction, then another a car alarm system and then cookies. I hope to get to market it. I hope to make money out of it. Thanks a lot to those who support me. Without them, my life would not have been complete. And most especially, thank God for all the opportunities that come my way. It would be an interesting project, my business. But you know looking at myself and the great potential that I think I have, I am somehow in sorrow that people do not look at me the second time to choose me for a job like a university professor. My personality is like I do a lot of work only it becomes uncounted because I don't make money. Sayang! It would have been wasted talent. Well, God knows everything. Bahala na Siya! As for me, I'd like to do it my way, my game, my rules, my audience. I wish to just achieve creating money for myself and doing something worthwhile like teaching, in my own right, in my own way, even if nobody pays me a paycheck. How could I afford to do that? Maybe, I'd do it in church, maybe I'd do it for free, maybe I'd ask to be paid to give a talk on my own without others encouraging me. I had a dream before to give a talk about accounting and teach it to regular people without accounting degrees or college degrees. Somehow, I don't make my dreams come true. Coz I've been stuck. To applying for a job. In the process, I do nothing. So maybe, like this blog, I could start something, with little or no money and share my talents with the community, with the neighborhood. And become really who I am. I will start this. And I will start now. I hope to get many followers. Hope this would be a good avenue for me to do my life's purpose. From this time on, I will not consider money or the lack of it, as a hindrance to what I want to do in life. God bless me. Love always.

What are you in it for?

"I want the experience you know.. I don't want to do it alone, I want to do it with other people."
As I have said about business. Selling trainings, accounting software, travel agent, mutual funds and real estate would leave me with my mom, or with colleagues, fellow sales people, or with clients, mentors, bosses and executives, business owners, partners. But I don't want much of my time alone. I want to be with others. That I have to consider in making business. I want the experience! What's my primary motivation, to be with others, to earn some big money that will provide for me and my mom and my family. To have relationships. To have the experience of life, of living. Of being happy. Of being fulfilled. To have some fun. To have some fulfillment. To be there for an obligation. To be committed. To be dedicated. To love. To take care of the people you love. It is not only for money, but for love.

To establish one's biz

I would really like to establish my company and call it RSU Enterprises. That's a clue to my name. Anyway, I long to have my company so that I could organize each transaction in an orderly fashion. I like to gain knowledge in finance and business and would like to learn everything and at the same time achieve success in making money. If there is any hope in making money, it is in the selling of needs, primary needs, such as siomai or dimsum or rtws. I have to have funds for these. Even if I start small, eventually it will grow. I just need to earn the first few bucks. I have to make a decision on these. I have to learn how to engage in business and make it profitable and make it grow so that you could serve the customer's needs. I sort of made a statement in my fb, that I would engage in food, garments and car shampoo business. I hope to earn great money in these products. So much can only be said, the rest is yet to be done. I hope to meet friends along the way. And keep them forever and ever. The most important thing is to be able to provide for myself and my family in a generous way. I have to establish a target. How much do I want to earn, honestly, millions. So I should start now. And make money making a natural hobby or habit. I think what I need the most is to have lots of friends to earn lots of money. A million friends will leave you not hungry and find you a job and businesses according to your choice. God bless me and you.

Having a business

I have been blessed on the 24th day of June, the feast of Saint John Baptiste de La Salle, our university's patron saint, to have my first selling business. I am going to sell trainings. Corporate, individuals, careers, skills. I am going to practice my selling skills. I will learn all I can in sales to be successful in it. I am currently also working on other businesses such as selling of mutual funds, accounting software, travel agent and real estate. I will balance my time in all these endeavors. I hope to become successful. I would pass up the chance to read on books particularly about business because I would be spending sometime in the real world of business and business making to learn the ropes of business. I will learn practically. It is like attending an MBA class, only it is actual practical experience and hope to learn a lot by doing fieldwork and practical assignments. I just hope I don't run out of funds before I make my first sale. What is the secret to sales success? I guess relationship building. It's all about people. And integrity and value are of utmost importance in this field of work. God wish me luck.

Where to get the next bread?

I am sort of tired everyday I have to figure out, think up of ways how to earn that money. It seems harder and harder. Even if you go to job fairs or business fairs, you still don't seem to achieve your goals. What I am after is to get the money now, tomorrow, the next day even if it seems little at first. I just want to get working. But really have a hard time doing so. The only thing that I want to start already is to write for money and real estate. Those are the only two things. The rest are just distractions or istorbo. I could think up of a million ideas but you don't know which will hit the jackpot. i am looking for people to work with, to be with, to be friends with and this is like a long term relationship of sorts, a forever relationship. I wish I could do such a thing. I keep on studying and studying is a good thing. You just can manage your time well. You thought with the new things coming your way that you cannot manage your time anymore but you will discover that things adjust and everything is just laid down to you to serve you. I just want to keep on writing, to learn, to express, to experience, to get a book written, for others to read it, to be shared, to let others know. To make yourself known. I think I could be a writer of books. I got to practice. I gotta know. I gotta learn. And then there's the business side of things and so I want to become an agent. I want to become a real estate agent. I just want something to be done without asking permission from somebody else if they are gonna let me work or not like in applying for a job. I am tired already. I want to take this turn or I'll be left out. I know this is the time for me to enter into business that is why I for the first time in my life and I think the last I have promised to myself that I will not experience financial difficulties anymore. Not anymore. This is my turn to do something in business. i gotta earn money. I am 34 turning 35 and I feel that I am in this middle age of discovering myself in business. I am not as young as those who are in their teens or twenties. I am sort of in the middle that's why I called it the middle age but still under the youth group. I gotta work. I am 34. No day has got to pass without me working. I got to stand for my right to work. No ifs, no buts. i just got to work. No day wasted. I am ready to face now my future. Whatever happens. i know it'll be good. God has prepared me hard for this future. And I can feel it. God will give me this wonderful future that He has created for me. I am looking forward to it.

Life is what you make of it

I came across an article that says that life is what you make of it. How true? It all depends on you on how your attitude in life is going to be. What if you are an undergraduate and you cannot go to school anymore. Finish school by working. There are unlisted jobs out there like being a vendor in the market which will earn you something for you to be able to use for your education. I believe if you are really determined you can achieve anything. What stops or hinders one from getting the success that they wish to have is the blocks in their minds and they keep on not creating solutions for those problems. On my part, I have also been stuck in my situation of not earning money for 10 to 12 years now because I have solely depended on employment alone and not on business to earn something for my keep so that I can answer for my needs and do what it is that I want. Anyway, there is always today and tomorrow to fulfill your dreams and no matter what age you are in, it is never ever too late to reach out for that dream of yours to accomplish even if you have been trying to accomplish that particular dream for the longest time. There are just some matters to be taken into consideration like growing old when you can have deteriorated health and it might be harder on your part to achieve something. The grace of the Lord is always with us and sometimes to be blessed with contentment is more than enough to answer for all our yearnings. A peaceful and a healthy body and mind is an investment worth keeping and acknowledging. Sometimes, we just have to be thankful for all that we have, for all that God has given us and not to compare with what others have. Sometimes to be content is more than enough prize. Life is what you make of it. Me, I am still struggling to be the entrepreneur that I dream to be while my other colleagues may have started already in it or in the middle of it, me , I am still aspiring for chances have not come that often for me and I know God has blessed me in numerous ways than the ones I have made full attention to. I know I have yet to do the things that sometimes I dream of, but I am not losing hope and dreams will be forever in me and with me as I lay on my pillow at night and as I wake up fresh in the morning. Even if I don't have much, I will accomplish much with the opportunities that come my way. Opportunities to connect with and to help other people. Finally, in my case, if I am only not afraid to explore other avenues I haven't yet discovered will then I truly discover the blessings that has long awaited me. God blesses His children according to their needs. I believe that poverty is not really given by God as in to differentiate people but in that poor people should always find ways to provide for themselves and this is a call too to rich people to share whatever they have plenty. Today is a new day as in tomorrow. We shouldn't waste one single day. If we cannot find the answers yet, just keep on searching, just keep on learning, everyday, do not stop. Until you reach the dreams you are dreaming of. Remember, life is what you make of it. It is really a responsibility of ours to live life as we should.

Do what you have to do

In this life, you have to do what you have to do. Time flies fast and all of a sudden you don't know problems arise before you and you don't know what to do because you are caught unaware. Some people will take advantage of you and there is nothing you can do if you are unprepared. In this life, there are no guarantees. You seem to cannot get everything that you really wanted. You just need to hold on to somebody strong so that you could still stand up in the middle of the storm. You just got to do what you have to do, in order to succeed in life, in order to answer the call of life. You need to be responsible for your own well being. You got to be responsible for yourself. Trust in God. Because your life depends on Him. That is the safest answer you can get. Trust in God. Even though He leads you to wary paths. Trust in God even if there is no food in the dessert only manna. Trust in Him when there is nobody else. Sometime, after the storm is over somebody is gonna come to give you a helping hand. Approach him and let him help you. Be humble enough to accept the help being offered. All of your problems are gonna be solved by God and so you should trust Him. Trust God that He will help you. Sometimes, in my journey, I am longing for success to find me, but it still doesn't come and so I think God leads me through the dessert and just gives me manna in the dessert. I am joyful for all the blessings that He gives to me eventhough they seem to be just enough, but no, I know they are more than enough for I cannot count them, even if I stay poor and He hasn't made me rich like the others, I still feel blessed and blessed abundantly. What if you are already doing the thing that makes your heart beat but it is still unfinished. You still aim for something better for it hasn't been given to you yet. Success is not yet at arms length. You still aren't famous or rich. Where do you go? What do you do? I could only imagine that if success is hard to achieve it makes it all harder to be poor and you are aiming for success, than to be rich and aiming for success. Would you already give up in the middle of the fight? No. You should go on. Not stopping. You should continue the journey. And I think what God is trying to teach you is not to constantly look for success and be satisfied when it comes but to find success in just doing it and imagine the number, hundreds, thousands of people that can be helped as you do your thing. Be courageous. Do what you have to do. If only to gain back some self respect, some authority, some leadership. And get away from people who disrespect you. They cannot even afford a good deed for themselves. Do what you have to do and don't be afraid. Even without money. The more that you should do it if you do it for family support. For your loved ones. For your friends. For yourself. Trust in God wherever He leads you. And definitely you will find your way.

How to succeed in life

To succeed in life, you have to do what you want to do. Even if you don't have money. For me, making money is one of the things that I want to do in life. I want to be a businessman. I am inspired by success stories of people who became businesspersons even from poverty. I want to emulate them. How does a poor person become a taipan in business and build his business empire. I think it is a gift. A gift from God. And so I believe that God gives so much to His children here on earth. You just need not have a scarcity mentality. You need to believe that there are bountiful of blessings being given by God in this world. You need to believe that God provides for all His children. One of the things that you may opt for is recognition. It is a sense of achievement. To be a writer or journalist. To write books. To have a website. To write reports. Anything that you can create. Anything that you can give out to this world. Anything that you can share. Any talent or skill or creation that you can give to this world. Whatever it is you want to do in this world, just do it! There's got to be nothing that stops you. Even being poor. Even not having money. Even if it seems impossible. You just gotta do it. To fulfill your destiny. Becoming a speaker is one of my dreams too. Talk before people. Talk about life, business, God, love. Anything from which people can learn. More importantly is to connect with people, try to help people, in their problems, in their lives, give to them what is needed, what is wanted, to make this world go round. Achieve dreams, reach out for goals, surpass yourself once in a while. Go for your dreams! And attract wealth. Attract positivity. You can be the person you want to be. You can achieve anything you want to achieve. With God's providence and grace. With God's permission. With God's will. Believe in yourself. There's no other like you. You're the best person you can ever be. There's only one you in this world so you gotta be proud of yourself. You gotta promote yourself. You gotta market yourself. Be positive. And achieve things. Anything you put your mind to you can achieve. Do what it is that is close to your spirit. Fulfill your mission. Create your destiny. You are the master of your universe. You are the captain of your soul. You are an individual. You are a child of God. You are the child of the Most High, the boss, God, our Father, our Provider, our Savior. God in all His goodness would give everything that we want if we deserve it and if we work hard for it. You just got to use your talents. Bring out the goodness that God has put in you, your gifts, and give it to the world. That's the road to success.

My options

To summarize my options:

First, I got to be a STOCKBROKER.

Then, I got to be an Accountant first.

Then, I would go into Real estate, Banking and merchandising.

My projects:

Writing

Business

Helping out the needy

Such is a wonderful, wonderful strategy that I hope I can fully do with the available resources that I have. I have a goal of achieving so much in my life for the world. I love helping others and just to be able to do things that I want to do for others is already a big accomplishment. God be so willing, I can do all the things that I set my mind and my heart into. I hope to do God's work and so we will be working together to achieve the things that He gives unto me.

I know having discovered the How to be a Stockbroker seminar is God's will. I know it was a chance but a chance that God did for me. I love stocks and have long wondered how I could get into it. I hope to learn everything I can learn about stocks until I become an expert, an authority. I would like to devote the rest of my life to this mission. God be so willing. May He prosper me in this as in other things that I propose to have. I know it's just a matter of time before I fully discover the new things to be discovered in becoming rich. If I could just do under His guidance. He is our Father and the source of all blessings in life. He is the Provider. He wants us in the bible to be good financial managers and so I would be taking up this call and start becoming responsible in this aspect of our lives. I would deliver well. I would study well. I know I have lots to learn. And I continue on learning, as I have studied for so long like maybe 10 or 12 years in the making. I know I have something in me that wants to start something for myself. I know I can be a leader in my endeavors and enterprises to start with. I know that I have lots of potential for God made me to have talents and skills. I know I can use them for others' good. Please help me God in all the things that I want to do in this world and for all the people in the world. May I bless others in the process. Making money is so much fun when you know you do what you want and you know you are helping other people in their needs.

Doing what you want.

The interest in Art.

I love fashion and so maybe I could study about art. Maybe I could study about fashion designing and dressmaking.

Photography

Filmmaking

Culinary

Painting

Interior Design

Multimedia

Music

There is really a world of opportunities out there. So just grab 'em.

But of course, you need money.

And so you need to learn the art of making money.

Is there a formula?

What if your same old formula doesn't work anymore for you?

You gotta think of new things to do.

And I am in that process.

Life's gotta be more than just about money.

You gotta like what you're doing.

And that's a must.

Life is not for free.

It comes with a price.

A hefty price.

A strategy to earn money

I have a major plan that is to become a STOCKBROKER. I am doing this right now. But I want it to succeed. I want it to be my mission. I want it to be my lifetime career. But in the meantime, to fund the projects I would like to do, I think I am gonna practice accountancy. Maybe I could get a few thousand pesos from it just to have lunch money and some fundings for my projects. Just so until I learn how to become a salesperson. I needed to learn about sales. Aside from stocks, I would go into real estate, banking and merchandise. I just need to learn about sales. I got to learn how to deal with customers. I got to relate. I got to be of service to them. I need to be customer-oriented. I need to devote my time for them. And most of all, I got to enjoy doing all these things. I just need to do the things necessary for me to become a good salesperson for me and for others. So that I could earn good money.

Your mission in life

What do you think is your mission in life? Is it all just about earning money? Then living a life here on earth would just be all about earning money and that is just very basic and not be profound in any way. But if you put your job as your mission, then that would mean something else. Can you consider your job as your mission on earth? For me, it is very important that your job is your mission. Life is so short to waste it away on things that you don't want to do. As for me, I love writing and so I am writing right now on this blog even if I don't earn something out from it. But I am hoping to. I believe that part of my mission too is to earn something for myself and my family, to be rich, to involve myself in various big enterprises. So, I should be working on that too and I just go too even if the odds go against me. I just got to be strong. Thirdly, I want to help out the needy, feed the hungry children, send them to schools, take care of them, inculcate values in them, give them support as in family. For these endeavors, I need to have money for them. Seriously. And so I busy myself with figuring out how to fund my projects. First, writing. Second, business. Third, helping the needy. I just got to do what my heart desires. Or I would be incomplete. I would be unfulfilled. God help me to do these things for others.

To make a more fulfilling life

I was wondering what I can do to have a more fulfilling life. I haven't really solved my financial problems yet but i am most determined to do that. Without the help of my mom, I wouldn't be able to do the things that I am able to do such as going out to fairs and seminars just to learn what I can do for myself and my family to earn a decent living. To make something crucial out of it as in affect by life in a big way. Feed me, feed my family, to have a meaningful life like taking trips abroad, owning a beautiful piece of land, sending me to school, having a car or cars. I was wondering how i am different from those who have already succeeded in their careers. Were they more courageous? More disciplined? More open? More positive? Were they winners? Were they leaders? Do they talk more than me? Do they welcome each person that comes into their lives? How are they able to make more money? Are they more blessed by God than me? Are they kinder? Or we are the same but it's just that they chanced upon what they do best and they deliver it. I wanted so much to happen in my life. I am happy in my life but there are things missing that I look for in my life to become more fulfilling. I dare ask for help from others, to connect, to relate, to know and let know what is happening in my life. I discovered that in each move you make you should have money and so I start to categorize myself to those who have money problems like those who look for food for the next day. I wish to have their tenacity. I wish to make a difference in my life, to fulfill my destiny. To make use of my talents in a great way. To engage in activities which makes me alive. To help out other people in need.
To feed myself, to feed my family. That is what's important for me. Could you see me? Do you know where I'm coming from? I'm in a position of need. Could you help me? Could we help each other out? Can we become courageous and be bold enough to do the things that we want to do in our lives without being afraid of anything? Be not afraid for I am with you wherever you go. Trust in the Lord. Do not be lonely. Reach out to others? Others exert effort too just to meet their daily needs. We are all the same. We are one and the same in the eyes of God. I wish heaven could be on earth. I wish everybody could have a warm roof above them on a cold, cold night. I wish everybody love. Love. It's the only thing that can save us. God. God is love.

What to do?

What are you supposed to do when no body wants to hire you anymore. I haven't worked for the past 10 or so years and nobody has accepted me during those times. My resume now has a big gap in its face and I don't know what to do anymore to make my paper more attractive to would be employers. So, what am I supposed to be doing now? What I can only think of is add some qualifications like having an MBA to my name. But that would still be in two years time. I need the money now. It has become so hard for me to earn money. Nobody wants to hire me. My only recourse is to take and pursue this path I am taking now to becoming a stockholder. Last Saturday, I attended a seminar about stocks which is quite expensive for me since I really don't have money. It also discussed how to become a stockbroker. I learned that you have to undergo a 5-day workshop that costs P5000 and an exam which I don't know the cost of if there is any or if it is already included in the P5000 that you pay for the workshop. You have to be an employee first of a stockbrokerage firm before you can get the exam for Certified Securities Representative. Luckily, I would be getting help from the speaker of the seminar to endorse me to a firm and so maybe I can now become an employee of a stockbrokerage firm. I have to learn the ropes and so I am working hard on this. May God bless me in this venture. So that finally in 2010 I could stay I have started one earning potential, even one, to add to my qualifications. You know working has become a source of respect for myself as I feel that I am only wasting my time spending time at home, waiting for someone to call me or positively, hire me. If I could work on this plus my marketability then I would have embarked successfully on a career in stockbroking. All the hopes for me. I wanted so much to use my talents. I know I can be great. I have been reading inspirationals and so I wanted to fulfill my destiny not only for myself but for others, something that I can be trully proud of. May God bless me in my endeavors!

I want to be a politician

I want to run in elections, at least even once in my life. Maybe, I could start from being a councilor, then congressman, then senator. Right now, if I am really serious into doing this, I should be active in the city's activities and the party I am joining so that in three years, I would have gained the much needed experience I need to run for office. Let's see where this will end?

How do you sell?

I have only one question to make. How do you sell? If I am about to embark on this new role, job, mission, I must really learn how to sell? My goals are to help my family, to have respect for myself, for others to have respect on me and my job and to be financially stable. I hope by doing freelance work in sales, I get to learn the ropes of selling and at the same time achieve my goals. I have financial goals and I do expect to get them. Talk about great expectations! The important thing is I learn my lessons as I get into these kinds of roles. Sure do hope to have a fulfilled life living the dream of becoming a salesman.

Collecting friends

Collecting friends is a happy habit. Just like in facebook, the more friends you have, the merrier. Sharing friendships is a good thing. It makes life worthwhile. You can do lots of fun activities when you have lots of friends. Delight yourselves in the company of your good friends. Be in company with your friends so that you wouldn't be lonely. Go out once in a while to connect with friends. Share with them your experiences. Do things that are fun doing together. And most of all, share some of your secrets and problems and share the best times you have with your friends. After all, that's what makes life fun, having friends.

Give us this day our daily bread

Work is fun. It is a means of God to feed us, to give us our daily bread, to find money, to earn our keep, to nourish us and keep our bodies healthy and for us to share with one another His blessings. I believe the world is full of blessings, it's not just properly appropriated. What if you're caught in the middle of life and you suddenly need money, where will you get your money? This is where good financial management comes in. This is what I aim for in my life entirely. That not even once in my life would I have a great dire need for money or resources to sustain me or my family. Opportunities really come our way, it is just a matter of praying a lot, totally depending on God, and exerting effort, totally relying on ourselves too. How can we say that we are finally nourished, once the blessings come trickling in. I go day by day, by God's providence. I believe I will make sales transactions in my future. I have to believe it or it may not happen. I know God will provide. The funny thing is, my imagination doesn't allow me to imagine these business thoughts unlike in writing, I can readily conceptualize it in my mind, so that makes it hard and tricky for me. But I believe that God has His ways of providing us and what we just have to do is not to lose hope but forever raising our hands and catching whatever blessings He may shower upon us. In the sermons I have heard this week and the last week, I have heard about loneliness and trust in God. God is in control. We shouldn't worry. We shouldn't even care so much as in to distrust His guidance and providence. God in His infinite goodness wants to shower us with blessings and give us whatever we need in our lives. All He wants is for us to change and be good sons and daughters of Him. We should be good to our neighbors especially when there seems to be nothing for us. That's the time we learn the need of others. So that when our time of abundance comes we will be able to share whatever we have with those who are in need. Then, it is our turn to help others. For those who have two coats, may they give the other one to those who have none. If this is the attitude of every human being, then there would be no one in want, no one in need, no one to go hungry. There would be a balance of resources in the world and everybody will be happy, every need would be met. There wouldn't be beggars and scavengers to be pitied. It would also add meaning to life because we share. We do something good for others, for God. And we will be at peace! May each one do his share to share a coat, a plate of food, a glass of water to those who need it. May God bless the world, with so much love in return.

The desire to be rich

I desire to be rich. I guess I am hungry for some money. I need to be employed or have a business. I look forward to the blessings that will come my way. I need to put in mind the needs of my family and myself and so I have to practice seeing myself as a worker for money, for God's providence. I hope God will answer my prayers soon.

Doing God's will

What is God's will for you? How do you find out if it is God's will? If your heart beats for it, then it is God's will. If your mind thinks about it, it is God's will. If your spirit agrees with it, with all its goodness, then, it is God's will. For me, it is easy to find out what is God's will. I love my family and so it is God's will that I love my family and that I serve them. Plus, I have this desire in my heart to provide for them financially which I know the grace of our Lord is gonna provide soon. I also support them spiritually with prayers, and emotionally with my company. All the rest, I spend time with my friends even though it is only online. The simple life is so much better. I have some desires in my heart which I look forward to doing in the future but in the moment I am patiently waiting for them to come true. Like having all the things that I want and helping other people who may have a greater need than I am.

Get away with the bumps

Life is sometimes full of troubles. Sometimes, you can not get life perfectly. It had to have some problems. And so, if these problems are unavoidable then you just have to do with them and learn how to manage your tasks with the problems at hand. Problems are there to challenge you and make you grow. They are there to help you grow into an improved personality that you can be. They are there to help you reach your full potential. You cannot have life and not have any problems at all. All you need to do is to have the habit of managing yourself with all these problems present and just solve them to make you a stronger person. You cannot have your day sometimes without a problem arising and so you must adjust, you must solve, you must adapt. Problems are opportunities for growth. Once there is a problem, there is a hidden opportunity for you to learn something out of it. God gives us these problems so that we may grow to be the person that God wants us to be. He is perfecting us by the problems that we face. As gold is tested by fire, so does the heart of man tested by God. Let us be happy that God molds us into the perfect persons that we ought to be in His sight, someday when it is time for us to go back to Him.
