Of Debt Bondage and Freedom

Had the most financially challenging year.

I made one very bad risk that resulted to a financial chaos that affects not only me but those whom I borrowed money from.

Learned these:

1. DEBT is BAD. There is no such thing as good debts. You do not only pay interest but you trade your time and freedom as well.

2. Do not work without payment. It is better to walk away from a job offer than to do it on a pay you later scheme. You will end up with two problems. The problem of the case and money problems.

3. Money should be manged and not the other way around.

4. Save money. I am probably one of those people who could honestly say that when I say I have no money I really mean it. I miss Lola Pat who often said that her money is not enough but has lots of money.

5. Money may not be everything but being burdened by the lack of it sucks.

Resolved to:

1. Generate more income.

2. Charge properly.

3. Pay all debts.

4. Be generous

Lizt's List

I received a call from my sister today.

Alhamdullilah for Lissette! She is the bulldog glue that keeps me together.

I am grateful for her reminder that I should write. Write to cope with my reality. Write to deal with my anxiety.

I am again in one of those crossroads where you feel like you do not know what to do. Or more like you have dig yourself into a hole and nothing is happening. There is no gold at the bottom. Worse, there is no stair to climb out of the hole.

Right now, my head is bursting from all the worry. A useless emotion that would not do you any good.

If you would ask me what I want to be it would be CONSISTENTLY good with emphasis on consistent.

I just want to be happy.

I want to do good.

My list?

Be happy.
Be healthy.
Be wealthy.

Be spectacular.
Be amazing.

Another rambling entry.
