I am RICH! :)


I mentioned in my post IMBALANCE how my family and I would travel and gallivant especially this time of the year. 

There were “ants in my pants”! I really didn’t care if I had the money, my thinking was, “I always have more than enough money for what I want and need”, and so off we went! 

This was not only during the “happy holidays” season, mind you. But every time we have school breaks: Thanksgiving break, Spring break, Summer break! I have the “I-am-RICH mentality!”, “God-will-provide mentality”, and “I-deserve-this mentality!”.

It took me 4 years!!! (Well, at least I graduated Summa Cum Laude, this time, lol!) to learn my lesson!

There is nothing wrong with my mentality, right? 

If my thoughts are powerful, then I can make things happen, right? We have all the comforts, we have the money – thanks to my credit cards, and never mind about payments – “God-will-provide!”, right?

Ekkkkk.. Error!

I’m financially stupid! (oops, that’s an understatement, lol!) Handling Finances 101 - I wonder where I was when this was taught in school?!!! BUT was it ever taught in schools??? Did teachers (I am a teacher!!!) ever knew how money worked?!!!

Mmmmm… and so this year, we are under house arrest! hahaha

The funny thing is that the “ants in my pants!” are still here!!! And I am loving being in our fortress!:)

    Those people who have the "I can" attitude are the people who work their way up to the last rung of financial freedom. This attitude is a state of mind that is a precursor to our financial fate. It starts with our determination to commence in handling our financial situation which boils down to the basic concept of assets and liabilities. Determining and identifying the real assets and real liabilities constitute our propensity for hitting the stride toward financial freedom.

    We pave the way the brick of financial success. Every step counts and every trial is important. Positive attitude actuates altitude toward achieving our most desirable goal. Then we became the prophet of our own prophecy. -kenneth

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
