Investing

          

  Financial literacy is vital for every individual especially when a person becomes mature. He then needs to be educated about finance and think of how to maximize his earning potential in order to lift other people up, help people that are closed to his heart and himself. He then needs to think in advance and try to visualize himself/herself in what may happen months or years from now given his current financial status. Can he sustain the financial demands of his family, the children when they’ll grow up and chose a career? or Can he provide for the requirements needed to achieve the goals for his love ones? There are things that need to be considered, in which inclined with this saying that says, “We will cross the bridge when we get there” is a recipe for disaster. Thinking ahead for the future is only good for those who think bigger of themselves, who thinks for the betterment of others and himself. But for those who are totally naive, satisfied and content- there is no need for investing since even birds were feed and dogs can eat in a day.

            Acknowledging your own potential is important- dissecting your strengths and weaknesses towards ability, knowledge, and work. Focus on your strengths and develop them. They will guide you on what to do and where to start. The knowledge and experiences you had in dealing yourself and others will be the key in making your ambition into reality. Of course we need prayers and miracles along the journey; we can’t control the things around us... only ourselves. I don’t believe in luck since I believe that all happens for a reason. Believing in God is a good thing, because in believing...you exercise “FAITH” which is one of the foundation in all accomplishments and successes in life. As quoted in Hebrew 1:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” When you start on a venture (business), believing is the minimum requirement. You should believe that your business will be successful and people will appreciate it. Otherwise, why venture?

            There is abundance of the land, what you lack is not wealth but act. We want fire to give us heat but do we make efforts to gather the materials needed and make fire. We desire many things in the world but what others were doing is not for the attainment of the goal. People, most of the time wishes in the wind, hoping they have this and have that but not act. These people were overwhelmed by their limitations. The limitations that were set within themselves is far greater compared to their dreams. These people I believed lack FAITH. Yet a FAITH without act is dead. So move!

            But be careful my friend, all things that are so much is bad. And remember, we can desire for many things in this world and achieve many but we can’t get all. We can only settle for some things. We are not created into this world to make all our dreams come true. Sometimes, we just need to be vigilant, dream many things, and achieve many. In the process, you can achieve a lot of the things you really desire but not all!
