Would you do it for love or money?

What comprises the things that people do in the world? For love or for money? I have a cousin who could have been a great pianist but she did not pursue it. She is an hr personnel. I have an uncle whose talented in art but his work is in electrical engineering and receives a not so big enough pay from government payroll. I thought of becoming an actress and a famous athlete but I am not doing it now. At least not yet, I don't know if I will still do it. Maybe that is why I am not satisfied in my life. I hate to settle. But I experience. Although, I think following your dreams is much more easy than settling. I wonder what I would still need to do in order for me to find satisfaction in life. At 34, it's only now that I am awakening to opening up myself to my dreams. Before, I just waited. Now, I am willing to do it. Maybe it would be harder if I miss out on my dreams. I hope to find my dreams. I hope to find it soon. I hope to be happy.

Life's master record

I want to view life as something like a master record of things that you do in your life. If this were so, you would want to record only the best that you can be and you can do in your life.

It has long been my dream to live on my own, in my own house and living sufficiently with a job and doing the things that I want in life like maybe becoming an author and writing effective books for others to read. I want to share my ideas to the world and let them learn something for themselves as they live their lives on earth.

Having a family of my own and watching them grow and live together.

Marking yourself in the world, making something important like the important people in the world. In a way, I do not want to pass in this life by being a nobody, I want to matter to people's lives and most importantly find myself an important person even though only to my family and friends.

How do others do it? Some find it easy to find a job. Others find it easy to get rich. Some are richly blessed. Others make their marks in the world. I, too would like to become one important person. Doing for others.

I don't want to be stuck to applying for a job forever. I've been stuck in that stage for so long, actually 10 years of my life. I want to start anew. I want to make a mark of my own.

I want to do what is out there free for me to do. Like this blog. Like writing something that matters and letting other people read it. Helping needy people. Starting a business enterprise. Collaborating with other people. Engaging in my talents.

I can cook and cater to or sell food to other people with a very small capital. This way I can engage in my passion for cooking and make money on the side.

I can sell my writing.

I can sell anything.

I can draw my ideas of art.

There should be some cheap ways to engage in my passions and somehow make money for it.

What matters is that I express myself.

That I lead my life.

That I show that I care about other people.

That I matter.

That I enjoy.

That I make money, too.

And that I collect and record to life's master record and record beautiful files.

If I had all the money I need in the world, what would I do?

If I had all the money I need in the world, what would I do?

Pursue business. Be an important person in the world in terms of business, finance and economics. Meet up with very important people and make very important decisions in terms of finance, business and economics.

Study a Master's degree in business which would enable me to gain information regarding how business is being done in the world today. Study and learn about new models and be at the forefront of changes in the world today.

Have lots of businesses, for example:

Food businesses
Financial
Real estate
Financial Advisory
IT
Communication
Fashion
Retail
Entertainment
And so much more...

Reach out to other people and serve their needs. Love is what makes the world go round and so is money. For without money how can you live. Each person is equipped with innate talents and so each one has the capability to have a job and earn a living for himself. It's very basic.

Foster and create good relationships. Interact with as much people as possible and have a good relationship with them. Exchange ideas and experiences and bring about a better tomorrow.

Finally, do your purpose in life. Make sure you do what you do best in life and share it with others. Do what you're meant to do. Be yourself against all odds in the world. Be who you are and who God made you to be.

To feel free

What is the purpose in your life? I need to feel free about what I do in my life and not be bound by limitations. I have yet to discover what is it that really matter in life.

I have continuously applied for a job and this has taken me for so long, it hasn't worked yet. Other people those who had a lot of jobs are being offered those job vacancies as if those who have stopped working have no right to work anymore. You don't know everything about a person. You don't know all the reasons in this world. So why make a judgement. If you will only hurt people.

A lot people I presume go hungry because of certain things that are thought to be true but aren't. Some people have so much. Why don't you give something to those who go hungry. I am sometimes tired of having to prove myself to would be employers. They hire you for your resume not for who you are and what you can contribute to the company. They think that is the same.

There are just those people who choose to stay with their families and not waste even a bit of time doing work that doesn't count in their lives. Plus, you get rejected all the time all those years.

They gotta do something for a change. And I gotta do something that will make that incredible change in my life. Even if I had to do it everyday until I finish my goals. They gotta open their minds and hearts to people who are out there reaching out their hands even for a crumb. Life's got to be fair.

They reject you all the time and they have the heart to say you are irresponsible because you haven't worked. You don't know every reason in this world and therefore you need not judge.

I hope that one day every reason there is will be opened up in the world and the truth shall come out, and people will certainly feel free to live their lives and people will have a fair chance in this world and a fair share of the blessings.

As for me, when I think about it I am semi-tired of the whole process. But each day I stretch out my arms and I welcome the day as another chance to reach for my dreams, my goals and my purpose in life.

I have plenty of dreams that didn't come true. Or should I say, I am still trying to make come true. If I have a hundred years to live, it is certainly still a long way and I have no regrets living my life the way I had lived it.

I think I have some problems to deal with like taking control over my life and doing what I want and not be dependent alone on having money. Leadership roles to be taken, relationships to foster, missions to be done. With God's guidance I know He will help me.

What do you stand up for, but to be free!

To offer your services for free

Sometimes, because of the hard times I've had applying for a job, I thought of just working for free and offer my services for free. I just couldn't tell them you know I need money just to keep up even a few of it, and I'll be working for free. I could price my services high up maybe 50000 to a hundred thousand but I don't. Sometimes, I think why don't I just do that. Sometimes, I want to do this because I need to exercise my talents and the desires of my heart so that I can say I have done something that is close to my purpose in life. But then I think I need to find where I could do that or maybe simply I've got to try. I need to try now the unconventional. I have to ask. I have to ask for what I want. I've got to be creative about it. Just so I can do what I want, my life's purpose.

To life a fuller life

To live a fuller life means to have as much relationships I could have in my life. To find my purpose in life. To do what you want to do each day of your life.

I do not wish to waste my life in not living fully. I got to be at least happy for what I have accomplished all these years and I am very much excited about my experiences in life not that I have a few regrets for right now I still have some questions unanswered in my life and problems to tackle and solve and adventures to experience.

But you know that's life and you just have to be awake in the morning and welcome the new day and start on something new each day and continue the ones that are unsolved yet or yet lift them up to God so that He takes care of your problems and everything will just fall into place because that's what life is all about.

Have you wondered what your mission on earth really is. Me I think it's a combination of experiencing things like pleasure or desire and sometimes even pain to help you get tough but also there are higher things like feeding the hungry and giving to the needy and all. It could also be helping your family. I think I have a lot to do in this world but I need not be money bound that I couldn't help other people because I myself don't have money for my needs or for my family. There's something that I could do to at least give me an option to move into what I really wanted.

I often list my dreams and in one way or another they do come true. I felt I have done much to the world but still there are dreams to be made and make come true. Before, I thought that my mission extends only to my family as in being a good provider for my family but that hasn't come true only for a few years and now I wish to be rich and do that for my family but now not only for them but for other people as well.

I gotta move where I can reach. I gotta help other people. There are desires in my heart that want to get out and become reality such as teaching kids, feeding the hungry, giving to the poor and so on. But I gotta figure out a way to do that. And altogether, also solve my money problems. I pray to God each night that my dreams will come true for Him and for me and for everybody.

To count money

I have sometimes the feeling of being guilty when I surf the net for it will cost me or my mom or my sister some money in order to take advantage of this privelege. I've been out of work for some time but this is the only time that I became so conscious about not having money. Sometimes it would take you years to apply for a job. Very frustrating. I am counting the money that I spend for internet while I think that I have a grandma whom I cannot help because I do not have a job. We are not rich and so is my grandma but I know in her own way she is rich, I just wanted to help her. I could not afford so many things in this world that I wonder is it ever fair. All they could do it to give me a chance why don't they do that? Is it so hard to give a small share of the pie to somebody who is hungry? Sometimes the world is really unfair. The rich could talk about billions of money while the poor have only their daily needs. It is so unfair. I was wondering where the jobs go in this world. To the graduates? What if you don't have a college degree? I just wish for a miracle to happen in this world. Where everybody gets a fair share of the blessings that abound from God.

Sometimes my friends maybe wondering why I don't go out to the gimiks anymore. I just count the money. Today, you gotta have at least a thousand in your pocket when you go out. And to us, to me and to my mom that's already two weeks worth of food. So alas, I couldn't go. Just praying that I'll have a job so that I can help me and my family.

Henry Sy and John Gokongwei were some of my idols. They started a poor fellows and now they own some of the big businesses in the country. I dream that I can be like them. I was wondering how they did it. They must have dirtied their hands and met up with people and sold their stuffs and used their minds to build up their businesses the way they have achieved now.

I got to imitate them and somehow do what they did so that I could count plenty of money in the future under my name and accomplishments. I gotta start now. Somehow, I feel I have wasted my 10 or 12 years of not working but then I grew up and the experiences I have had during those times contributed to who I am now and how I live today. I have some idea on how to start on something today but I am learning about it everyday for money making has been a challenge for me. Maybe there's a block like for example I hate accounting and I felt it has followed me all these years in every move I make in jobs or business what I think was a lesser choice of having taken up accounting as a college course. Sometimes, I wish I had shifted to MassCom or Business Management and graduated earlier so that I could focus on working early on. You see I am motivated to work only nobody gives me a chance. Anyway, I believe that in the end all will work out and that the world or God works for justice and that everything will follow through if not today maybe tomorrow, I still hope.
