Milking cow

Came across a book at National Bookstore about how you can create extra 1,000$ or 500$ per month from what you know. It should be an interesting book concerning your talents being used to make money. I hope I can do that easily so that I wouldn't have to go through the routines of employment which is hard to come by. Gotta make cash!

Investment in books

I have recently invested in books and these are my investments:

Hope to learn nuggets of wisdom in these.

Relationships can bring in the peso

I believe that with fruitful relationships come the peso. Maybe there is a reason I am poor at the present. I don't have that much relationship yet with other people for in the past I have concentrated on my family. Now, I would like to build new relationships and cherish the old ones with friends. If I relate with the right person then comes in the peso. I have yet to prove that.

At 34, I haven't brought back the bacon for about twelve years now. But I tried to. It was just not natural for me to work when I was younger. All I was doing back then was living the life that I wanted. Studying, going to the malls, internet surfing and doing my passions. Plus I didn't have the chance to work since they would reject me often at job applications. Until now, I don't know why. But that's all in the past and now at 34 I want to regain all the income that I would have made if I worked continuously. Not that they don't reject me anymore but I want to start on something aside from employment. Maybe I could become a part-time real estate agent or be a salesperson of different products. Or maybe start a small business. To me money making is a challenge and I am willing to take it. I am willing to learn it.

Going back to what I have said before maybe I am poor right now because I don't have much relationships that make the peso come in. And that's what I am doing. I have to reach to people. I have to know them. I have to befriend some people so that I will be successful and in return have money in my pocket.

What people can bring you

People can bring you so much and vice versa. You can bring much to a life a one person. Being in this world all together with different experiences makes it all the more exciting to live one's life here on earth. The sharing and the caring are what adds to life that makes life worth living. People accumulate different experiences in life and to be able to share it and share the lessons that go with it is what makes it important. Sometimes, you cannot imagine it just by thinking about it but actually feeling it and experiencing it, the relationship as you go on with it. You have to have the courage to feel the emotions of a relationship and be willing to give of yourself so that life becomes fuller.

The Golden Rule

I am looking into ways how the Golden Rule can really apply into my life and how I can get something that I truly want for myself and for my family. Especially now that I am looking for a meaning in my life I think the golden rule can be a principle or a lesson to be learned when you live your life and how you can get the most out of it.

I think I have to apply it with the relationships that I have in my life. In the past, I have concentrated my relationships with my family. I disregarded relationships with friends for I have prioritized my family first. But now, it is different for now I wish to concentrate now on building relationships with friends and family at the same time.

I often wondered where to meet people whom I will consider as friends. But sometimes, life just gives you the people you meet even though you didn't plan to meet them. It's just like fate. When God has a hand in everything you do, He certainly delivers to you the best of His blessings and more.

I hope to write more about this in the future.

The meaning of success

It could mean a lot of things to a lot of people but for me success is:

1. Doing what you want in your life. That's the key. Doing your passion. Using your talents and skills. Making sure that you share them with others. For others' good. Doing your purpose. For me it may mean writing or art. Sometimes it isn't finished yet. I have yet to discover my purpose and wants. But I'm gonna start at it even though it isn't finished yet, eventhough it isn't perfect yet. I have to do something today. I have done for my family in the past. Now, I want to focus on friends. Everyday I discover something new about myself and I learn more. You need not be perfect to start something. You go as you please. You do what you want to achieve in life. And I think a common purpose is love. It is very profound.

2. Money. Worldly as it may seem, I want money. Because I don't have much of it. It has always been challenging for me to make money because first I don't experience the need of it except in time of need or sickness. I have always my mom to answer for my needs. But now that I am 34 I want to change that and you know making 10000 pesos a month isn't that bad after all for me. Just to make a buck. Just to make something. It has been a challenge. I need to align my wants, my knowledge, as incomplete or imperfect as it is to the work that I will be doing to make money. And of course to have something more. Never had a car. Never financed a long term study of my interest. Never ate in a hotel. Never ride a plane. Never had a business. But I was full of study. I learn all I can about business, and the arts, and writing or about stories by reading books, magazines and watching television, internet surfing. I want to be rich. It has been a childhood dream!

3. Fame. Yes, that's another worldly aspiration. But I do have that dream of becoming famous one day in my life. Being well known for what you do, for where you're good at. That's why I wanted to become and actress or an athlete, or a writer, or a famous entrepreneur and businessman. I want to enjoy that good gift of God to a person deserving it. I like public relations, public speaking. Right now, if I am gonna achieve fame I have to do some actions to reaching my dreams. I need to work on my dreams and become famous afterwards. I want to be important. I want to have lots of friends. I want to know a lot of people. I want to do for others. I want to serve my mission here on earth. I want to live fully.

4. Finding one's purpose in life. To be reconciled with God. To let go and let God. To let God guide you in your purpose in life. To share your life with family, friends and society. To do something about what life throws at you. To grow in God's love. To find meaning in life. To just be there in your life and do the best that you can be. To succeed in life.

Money making lessons

It is very important for me to succeed. In my ten years of not working, I have done what I wanted being young. But now that I am all grown up and 34, I want to do what all people in the world do that is to work. Part of the reason why I didn't work for ten years is that I was not accepted in jobs. I would always ask God why this thing happened to me, maybe it happened for a reason, maybe it was just a natural consequence of a past action that employers didn't like. It would always puzzle me. But another side to it is that I didn't pursue a career that I love even if it deviates from my college education. I was just passing away time and doing what I wanted and having dreams that I would have wanted to accomplish. I am happy. But now that I am 34 I need to make money already for my own keep. I think I need to try out something more than handing out resumes. I need to connect with people who are concerned with the things that I wanted to do for myself. It may be hard or uneasy but I need to do it so that my dreams would come near me. This is the time. The time is now. There is no other time. I am gonna keep on my goals. Until I achieve them. Anyway, I've got about 66 years before getting to a hundred if I'm gonna reach a hundred on this earth. But first I have to try it little by little. Little by little everyday for man is a creature of habit. Once I learn it now, it would be easier in the future. If everything happens for a reason, I surely want to know what that reason is and I would go on everyday and master excellence. I would like to be a man of my own fate. Do the things you want. Even if it's hard. Even if it hurts. It would be easier as I go on. And on and on. Life is life.
