Life Choices

-


In a world where wealth often defines status, rich people often have a way of making those who don’t have much feel embarrassed about being poor. Because of this, some people end up spending money they don't have just to put on a short show of looking rich. They buy things they can’t really afford, not because they need them, but because they want to look like they belong in the world of the wealthy, even if it’s only for a moment.


A lot of people want the good things they see others enjoying, and they don’t really care how they get them. There are right ways to get those things and there are other ways (the bad ones). But many people only focus on the shortcut, the bad way. They call it “doing what you have to do to survive,” but they don’t realize that this path causes more harm than good. It might look easy at first, but in the end, it destroys more than it builds.


People tend to judge others that are not taking this "short cuts", because they refuse to do what everyone else is doing. And somehow, it feels like that’s their “crime”. Life is all about making choices and I suggest you try your best to make the right ones and learn from the times you get it wrong. Choices can be hard and sometimes lonely. The goal isn’t perfection but wisdom to make the right choices when you can, and to learn from the wrong ones when you must.


True wealth is not measured by money or luxury, it is found in the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have nothing to hide and no hidden consequences to fear. That kind of freedom is a richness no amount of money can ever buy.

Understanding God's Direction and Protection

"When you get what you want, that's God's direction. But when you don't get what you want, that's God's protection." This quote has been attributed to various sources, but regardless of its origin, it speaks a powerful truth about faith and trust in a higher power. At its core, this quote suggests that sometimes the things we desire may not be what is best for us, and that sometimes, setbacks and disappointments can be blessings in disguise.  The first part of the quote, " When you get what you want, that's God's direction ," suggests that our desires and aspirations can at times be aligned with God's plan for us. When we achieve our goals or receive what we have been working towards, it can be seen as a sign that we are on the right path. The achievements can give us a sense of purpose, direction and fulfillment.  However, the second part of the quote, "But when you don't get what you want, that's God's protection,...

Accepting Change: The Temporary Nature of Relationships

  Life is a journey marked by constant change, and one of the most profound truths we encounter is that nobody is guaranteed to be in our lives forever. Relationships like friendships, family ties, or romantic partnerships, can evolve or dissolve with time. This impermanence can be unsettling, but it also serves as a reminder to cherish the moments we share with one another. Understanding this reality encourages us to appreciate our connections while also preparing for the inevitable transitions that life brings.The temporary nature of relationships often stems from various factors, including personal growth, starting a family, differing priorities, amongst others. As individuals, we are constantly evolving, and sometimes this growth leads us down different paths. Examples, Siblings drifting apart as they start new family; Friends we once thought were inseparable may grow apart as their interests and lifestyles evolve. Similarly, romantic relationships can shift due to changes in v...

Judge by Experience, Not by Gossip

Life is full of opinions. Friends warn us about certain people, coworkers share stories about colleagues, and social media spreads rumors in seconds. But note that everyone is more than what other people say about them. It is easy to form impressions based on the opinions of others. Colleagues, friends, relatives, neighbors or social circles may share negative experiences or warnings about people, but I want you to know that there is always more to a person than what other people say about them. Relying only on hearsay can close doors to valuable relationships and opportunities that could benefit you personally or professionally. An example is my real life experience with a family friend who close relatives and neighbors marked as “too proud and not willing to help". But when I decided to meet him in person to try my luck about needing a job, I met a warm, generous person who after few weeks, helped me secure a job opportunity I desperately needed. That experience taught me a last...
