I think I am in a
period again where I should reconsider my beliefs I currently have in m y life.
Well, not in all beliefs, but on how I view wealth.
I went to a Feast
gathering this afternoon to hear mass and to refresh myself spiritually. And
it's just funny how God works in your life. As long as we know what we deeply
desire, He finds and gives us ways on how we can achieve them. Even if it
requires us to change ways and change our mindsets.
What I deeply desire for: I deeply desire to
become an entrepreneur, where I'll help create opportunities for the people I
work with and I work for to grow.
What my belief was before: You don't need money
to be happy. You don't need to become rich to help other people.
What I think my beliefs will be changing to:
2 phrases that
struck me during the Feast:
- God gave you the ability to become wealthy. Use the ability given to you. Do not settle for mediocrity. If you can push yourself a little bit further, then push yourself a little bit further. God has given you talents and skills not to be kept for yourself. Rather, he has given you gifts for you to share and prosper. Hindi porque mahirap ka, hanggang dyan ka nalang.
- You cannot help the poor if you are poor. It's just like saying "you cannot give away anything if you do not have anything to give". Fill yourself first so that you may be able to fill others. Hindi masama maging mayaman. Dahil kung mayaman ka na, mas marami kang pagkakataon makatulong sa iba. One should just learn how to manage and use his wealth well and good. In the phrase "vow of poverty", it doesn't mean that you should live without money. It just means that you should live in simplicity. Not too much for yourself, but more for others.
Thus, with the above
things learned, I'll be soon reflecting on the next few steps I'll be making in
my life. (Oh Lord, bless me as I turn tables in my head).
