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.
