Money making is sometimes differentiated from your passions. It shouldn't be. But sometimes, there are events in our lives which lead to our passions not being the source of our money. Like for example take my case. When I was going to study in college, my family decided for me to take up Accountancy because it has no difficulty in available jobs. You can easily be hired as an Accountant. Even if Accounting is so far away from the desires of your heart. How would you reconcile that? They didn't even know if I like Accounting as a profession. Would I be willing to do it? Are my traits adaptable to the work requirements of being an Accountant? And so on. These are the questions that you should ask yourself before you choose what type of profession or work you would like to do in your life. As a result, for several years, I got stuck on the question will I be willing to do Accounting or not? And if so where will I get my everyday money for sustainance? I was receiving offers for Accounting jobs and yet I was unwilling to take them because I didn't feel it very much. I didn't feel that my passions lie in Accounting. And up to now, I feel that Accounting has become a very integral part of me. I am unable to pursue other tasks because I felt to be able to do that you need to study first let's say a course in writing before I could write and delve into a career in writing or communication arts which is my would have been course in college. I got stuck in being known as an Accountant and not being able to pursue the career of my dreams coz I didn't have money anymore to study a course let's say in writing. Even sometimes, business feels the same thing. Right now, I am contemplating on becoming a stockbroker which I love to do but since it is business, it has somehow the same feeling as being an Accountant because it is about Money and Finance and deep inside me I know I should be doing something about my dream of becoming a writer or a communications professional. As a result, I am still thinking on whether to pursue these goals of becoming a businessperson while focusing on Money and Finance and not communication arts.
The thing to do, primarily is to keep on going and keep on searching for the right job. If you are deciding on what to do with your available time for work, make sure that what you choose is the one that you love. I have somehow learned that in order for me to do that, I have to somehow reconcile myself with the fact that I am an Accountant and even use that to let me move on into the next stages of my working life. I cannot completely do away with Accounting since it has become an integral part of me, anyway I need money. And I do have good credentials in Accounting even though I didn't love it very much. Why don't I use that to get to where I am going? In the meantime, I can work on the things that I love by offering my articles to newspapers or magazines. Or I can start being a freelance writer for newspapers and magazines by offering my services to these publications. There sure is a way on how to work things out. And make money from them because you need money, too. Continue on studying, don't ever stop. If you aim to be good in something, work on it unceasingly, work on it everyday. I can become a good writer by studying words which I have never known before by reading dictionaries, thesaurus, studying how other people speak in English like watching tv and movies and by practicing speaking with them personally. You can do such things through school, or through the net. You can enroll in communications classses and gain knowledge in speaking and writing in English. You can read a lot of books and learn how to converse well in English. You can practice writing and writing so that you can gain ground in the field that you are after. It's the same with any job you want to do. Buy a book about it. Go to seminars and talks. Get a coach. Sign up for free informational materials and e-books on the net. Attend classes about the job that you wanted. Get trained. Talk to experts. Ask your family for emotional support. And in time you will definitely be aligned with the work that you want to do.
Discover your talents and how you want to use them. Envision the life that you wanted, how it appears in your dreams. Envision the things that you wanted including the money you are gonna make. I believe God wants abundance for all of His children. There are just some problems in this world that you cannot avoid because they are there even before we came to life but that is the vital importance of it. To contribute to the solutions. With your talents, use them so that you would contribute to the solutions to the problems of this world for the good of everybody. Discover what it is that you like doing. If you have discovered it then find out how can make money doing that which you like. There is an easy flow of gifts and talents if that is really your calling in life. Whatever it is that comes easy for you, that which you like to do, where you are good at, that is your gift, your talent. Use it to the hilt! If it is your gift to be a writer, then write. If your gift is to be an actor, act. If it is your gift to be a car mechanic, then be a car mechanic. Your gift will take you to a place of fulfillment and there is no such day when you finally become aware of the gift that you have, the calling that you want to have, the satisfaction that there is when you are working the work of all works, your predestined calling in life. Your very purpose!
Achieve whatever it is that you want! Life offers you many solutions to a given problem. When you have a desire in your heart, go for it and the solutions suddenly appear. If you want more money, you can get more money. If you want love, you can get more love. If you want more friends, you can get more friends. Just be thankful first of the things and persons that you already have in your life. Be thankful for all the gifts that God has given you in your life and move on, see to it that you look for the other things that you want to have in your life. In this way, you will live a complete life. And that extra spot in your heart that looks for completeness, reserve it for God. It is a special place where God should be. He should be the one the complete all of your yearnings, all of your cries, all of your wishes, all of your dreams. Go for what you want. I believe it is even God who puts the desires in your heart for you to finally fulfill them. By using your talents. See what it is that you want and go for them. If you want more food for your family, get that, you deserve that. If you want to help out other people, help them because that is the desire of your heart. There is such a fulfillment when you achieve the desires of your heart. And don't also forget to pray to God so that He will answer and give the desires of your heart. Whatever it is that you wish for, go for it, achieve it, dream of it and then receive God's graces for it. God wants us to live a fulfilled life. Whatever it is that we need, God readily gives. God will meet your needs. It is stated in the Bible. And also have a good relationship with God for this gives us peace in the daily toil and work and dealings we do everyday. Pray to God that He will answer all our needs and wants in our lives. God will definitely work things out on this earth for our benefit.
We can create creative solutions to our problems. Align your money making with doing your passions. If it is your passion to teach, then teach. No one must stop you to do that. That is your God given right. That is your birth right. If you are employing the things or talents that God has given you in your work, there will be a reward of satisfaction and fulfillment that you are doing God the greatest service. You are living the life that you want. You are in your fulfillment. Seek to help out as much people as you can help. Through the work that you do. God is a working God. He balances the universe for us, doesn't He? He gives you the food you eat, the water that we drink, the house that we live in, the clothing that we wear and all our other needs. Pray that God will help you by giving us the ideas that we need in order for us to work efficiently and effectively and creatively. May we be able to come up with creative solutions to our problems. Even our talents came from God. And so as a return, as a thanksgiving for Him, we should use our talents, our gifts, our capabilities to the best that we can in any given day in our lives and we should toil and work and make effort in contributing work to the whole labor that the world is producing everyday. God is always giving us solutions to our problems and so we must be open to these solutions and accept them and be willing to be used by God for His and our purposes in this given world. Remember, you can only find your purpose once you make use of your talents and gifts and align your work with your passions. Goodluck to everybody and may everybody find their passions in the work that they do.
Is this still up?
