My secret mission

This is just gonna be probably short. But do you know Melinda Gordon of Ghost Whisperer? I just wish sometimes, I could be like her like helping other people in the spiritual sense. If I could play a character in a movie, I would play one like that of Melinda Gordon. I am so fascinated by it that I watched the marathon during the Holy Week. I am not saying that I want to be exactly like her but I think my secret mission in this world is to study Theology, masters and phd and then know more about God and then teach to other people. Wouldn't that be cool?

Ask and you shall receive

I just watched from EWTN some very powerful words to live by in the present. If only people are gonna ask from God then everything will go their way the way they wanted it to become and experience their life's dreams. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened up to you. That is one of my favorite verses in the bible because it speaks of God's providence to His children. I just don't know why He hasn't given me any. I don't want to be dependent anymore to my family. Sometimes, you tend to lose some self-respect when you go on in your life without a job and your family does not understand you because God keeps on blessing them while you are struggling, striving, having a hard time to make something for yourself and even for your family. When this happens, you just have to have patience, because they don't understand you at all and they just wish to be shallow and it seems like money talks and you don't have a thing to do with money. It seems very hard, but I need to do something in order for me to have something for myself. If God really provides for His children, then please give me something or at least teach me how to do it. You gave us an assurance that You will provide for us if we would only ask for blessings. There are certain things that one can ask from God such as a continuous good quality of life you are living right now until the future, self-respect, peace, love and understanding, joy and happiness. I will keep on praying and believing that all will turn out well, i will continue serving God with all my heart and mind and soul just to praise Him and for everything to turn out well in my life.

What more can I say?

The question is how to go to that point when I am already successful?

That's the road that I would have to discover.

In the mean time, I will read books, blogs, attend seminars, meet businesspeople, work in companies until I learn everything!!

I have read twice or thrice in different sources that you gotta work to learn first than to earn, then when you already know that's the time you will earn. Do what you love, and the money will follow because you are doing what you love.

I am writing down my dreams in my blog, but everyday I will try to work on them by taking my very first few baby steps towards my dreams, my businesses.

Before, I was content on asking money from my parents. At 34, rather a mid-age for me to start on dreaming, I figured this is the time of my maturity to ask about things in life like working on what you love, which is what's important and earning that important bucks. It must be both. And it should always involve you purpose in life. Your gifts. What you love. I always used to say use your gifts so that you will not be poor. I have started saying that during 2002. Now, it's 2010. It's about my time of maturity to take things seriously and gain some ground in doing business, in working.

Who are the people in your neighborhood, they're the people that you meet each day, as the Sesame Street song goes about the different workers you have in your neighborhood. Very profound. Very profound. When I was a kid.

I just remember that when I was very young what I remembered doing that I like was drawing or designing and writing poems. I'd like to put them on paper and display it on our shelf.

And then, in elementary and high school, playing rounders and acting in class.

I like Science, too and the academics and had high grades with them. But what I enjoyed the most, I think are the extracurricular activities. Like choral speaking where we won first prize in an interschool competition. I also competed in quiz bees within the school and interschool.

So what's my life purpose? And how am I gonna achieve that? I think my life purpose is in arts, communication and sports and business. Those are the four major areas.

I remember when I was a kid, I wanted to be super rich. As to provide for my family. It is pretty frustrating that I don't do that now because God hasn't given me a job for the past 10 years and it is pretty frustrating. I don't know what they are looking for in a company. Anyway, I go on and on and just determined to go on and never giving up.

These are my dreams. I dream to be successful. And it is very important for me to do so. Very, very important. I just wish I would figure out how. Because when nobody gives you the chance, it becomes very, very hard. Anyway, I believe that everybody has his own load to carry in this world. Some carry light, some carry heavy. I think mine is just quite big enough for me, and my responsibilities in this world that God gave me to carry. It is very important that I triumph on this.

I hope that God will teach me how to become a businessperson. I think it is a gift.

If not, I hope He teaches me my purpose in life. Because, when it seems to be very hard, you tend to give up on it and try to shift ways.

When you have nothing, you can't give away anything. So I hope, I'd have something to give.

If there are steps to take, it is definitely going to people who are already there. Like attending writing classes, or joining writing clubs and learning all you can about writing, about communications.

Learn and then earn.

That's the key.

God bless us all! And keep us in His loving care.

What is important for me then? To earn money. Even if it does not involve sales, just business. Doing it now is the answer to the problems. Estimated earnings: Millions.

Going into sales

Call it what you want. Customer service, marketing, sales, negotiations, business development. You name it. It all falls under the same job category. Its sales! Do you believe that everybody can be a salesman. I believe so. If not then why are you born into this world. Everybody has convincing powers, at least to their families, relatives, classmates and officemates. The only difference that salespersons have from those who are not salespersons is that they made it their calling, their profession. But that's it. Anybody can be a salesman. That's what I believe. We need to convince our parents from time to time of things we want to ask from them like a new toy, or a new dress or shoes, or electronic gadget. We need to talk to classmates about our projects and extracurricular activities or when just having fun. We need to talk to our officemates about certain business we have in the company or when off office hours during our leisure time. We all make convincing in some parts of our lives and we do it because we live in this world. We are alive. This is like a very popular activity that we do amongs ourselves and we keep on doing it because we are in this world. We need things, we need to live, we need faith, we need courage and we need association. We need relationships. I somehow feel the difference now that I am considering going into sales about myself, about my personality. To be more outgoing, to be more relational, to have more friends, to have more associates. And thus, to have more sales income. It is a very rewarding career. A very satisfying activity. I hope I can give more to this profession. I hope to make the big income this calling promises to its adherents. I hope to serve others by being a professional salesman. And I think to embark on this activity is really indeed very exciting. And it opens up your world to a whole new world there is around us like I can continue now my plans to go on with my studies grad or undergrad. I can pursue the career I wanted cause I have enough money already to go to billiard classes or to go into acting. I can purchase a car or a batch of cars. I can now have my own home. I can now travel. I can share my money with my family and with the needy people. I can establish some foundations. And I can embark more on businesses to further my ambitions of becoming an entrepreneur and become rich. Selling is really a rewarding activity. I hope I can learn all I can about it and enjoy it while I do it. Hope I can meet people too and relate with them and forge a long-term relationship with them. If I do this everyday, if this becomes a habit then everything would just become easy and satisfying in the long run and it won't be far until I attain success. I would do it for myself. And that is very important. There are so many reasons to do it and the time to do it is now. Not tomorrow or the next day but now. No need for procrastination. If I find myself still groping in the dark in this field of sales then so be it but I won't stop until I become a very good salesperson. Thanks to God, I see myself as such and thanks for the dreams! I hope all this motivation is enough for me to finally achieve something and earn some money for my needs and other people's needs. We all need to work in order to survive and for the reason that you have to have some self-respect when you indeed work. I hope I find a passion always and see the advantages of going into sales. And I hope to meet a lot of friends along the way and get involved in their lives as you strive to make a life for your own.

To make things great

You surely want to think that all your life's problems will be solved. But unless you do something everyday, it's like there stuck to you if you don't do anything about them. Money is a problem but not everything is about money. Sometimes, it is just tiring to think about money, you know that it will be solved too as long as you make actions God will bless you. But emotional problems, relational problems are a bigger, tougher problem than money problems and so I hope I don't meet them. It all comes from having a great relationship with God and you put that faith that love to the love that you have for other people. It's much easier that way. and life would be great. Some things that I need to do in order for my life to be great is to have relationships, lots of relationships with other people. During the day, just try to love people more and connect with them with whatever form or size they may be. I'd like to think of things I can do even without money. Things that are free. Things that doesn't need money. Helping other people, engaging in foundations, giving free gifts to other people, to loved ones, blogging, writing, working, you can do it for free.

How to get rich

I've read a lot of texts about getting rich but it seems like I am still not choosing anything to start my way to financial independence. It seems like they are not teaching it really on those reading materials. You get ideas but they are so perfect and they seem to be really good in business that for somebody like me who has not experience in business, it seems to be very hard still. You'll get lots of ideas but when I think about it, it is quite hard because when you're actually gonna start you think of things the realities such as the amount of capital to be paid, the location of the office you want to be partners with, the work hazards such as the deliveries and tranportation, the handling of raw materials, the permits to establish stores, big investments for equipments sometimes not calculated in with the initial prices and so on. It doesn't form in my mind. Unlike writing, you just sit on your chair and you start writing. And you type away with the ideas that come into your mind. Before, I used to make it a problem the purchase of a laptop and internet connection that is unlimited or for a minimal cost just to pursue my writing. But because of an uncle I discovered Blogger and started blogging since August of last year 2009. And because of my sister, she has given me a laptop for my family's usage and now I am free to write away my thoughts and ideas. So you see, accomplishing one feat especially if you need money to start something, a project, is really seldom and you need a lot of sweat and tears before you can start something. So what I am saying is that there are still a lot of stumbling blocks before you can achieve something. When they say that it is easy to get money, for me it is quite hard because maybe because I would rather be around people doing my stuff, getting into business so that I don't grow cold of loneliness and solitude, and learn with others so that it would be more fun and engaging. I wonder how other people do it. Why is it easy for them to be financially free. Probably, they earn a million a month and they can walk the metropolis so confidently they won't collapse of hunger much shameful and worse of lack of money in their pockets while walking as I sometimes feel cause you are trying to connect two locations the one you're coming from and the one you're going to. So, it isn't easy. But that's my personal opinion. I guess, it is also kinda hard especially if 10 years had passed and nothing happened to you, by this time, you are already tired. So many things have happened in those 10 years and you have surpassed some opportunities which you didn't mean to do but it happened and they were mistakes but you know you let them happen because you were young and you were learning. I just wish it is really as easy as it sounds. Some people find it easy to earn a million, for me it is still a challenge. I can count the money, but I don't want to move a finger because when I start moving the coins come but not the bills and it's like a trickle of rain. But i got to start on something. And then, there's the challenge to sell something. Others are very good in sales why can't I. I have an idea, and have yet to discover but I know I will be a good marketer because I like it and I like dealing with people and like relationships and also like making deals with other people. I don't know how other people sell, but they just do and I hope they can share with me their secrets. I know I can accomplish a lot in business if I learn the ropes of selling and marketing which seem to be easy for some people. And it seems interesting when you read about it. Hope it comes easy. If I have the liberty of money then going into business will be much easier because I don't have to worry about lack of money. I definitely can earn money from a business if only I have the liberty of money. If money is not the question, it seems easy to manage a business and make it profit. I hope I can do this and do this diligently. Maybe, that's the challenge of starting a business, you gotta start with what you have and make it grow. I hope I can now learn how to work and to love work. Sometimes, when you think of entrepreneurship, it seems so small and you tend to forget your dream when you were a child to do something big. that was my dream. It was a big dream. I hope to do it one day. There's also the urgency to have money because everyday you need money in order to eat, to survive in this world. i hope I can start having money now. I am not sure about the steps I would be doing unless somebody gives me money to work on something. it's been a long time. Isn't that supposed to be how things should be done? Getting paid. God, please don't make this imbalance anymore in my life.
