Sometimes God closes doors because it's time to move forward. He knows you won't move unless your circumstances force you, so trust the transition. God's got you. This is exactly what happened to me many years ago. Maybe it happened to you too? #PassionPurposeProductivity
Be honest about what you truly want by facing the truth that a reasonable amount of work is required before you can get what you want. If you shy away from the effort, you may be pursuing a fantasy rather than a genuine goal.
Dreams are fun when they are distant. The imagination loves to play with possibilities when there is no risk of failure.
But when you find yourself on the verge of action, you pause. You can feel the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Thoughts swirl. Maybe this isn't the right time? Failure is possible now.
In that moment—in that short pause that arises when you stand face to face with your dream—is the entirety of life. What you do in that pause is the crucible that forges you. It is the dividing line between being the type of person who thinks about it or the type of person who goes for it.
When I really think about it, I want that moment to be my legacy. Not that I won or lost. Not that I looked good or looked like a fool. But that when I had something I really wanted to do, I went for it.
You have probably heard of Edward K. Lee of COL Financial if you're investing in the PSE.
Typically, he shares about the market and where it's heading in his talks.
However, this @bilyonaryo_ph interview gave a glimpse of what made him who he is today.

Life is simple, you wake up, you get excited about the small gifts of daily life that everyone takes for granted, you also get excited about a few big goals that require you to grow into a smarter, mentally stronger, spiritually mature person, and you enjoy the whole process.
Work hard, take it seriously, embrace your ambition. And when you're not doing that, do something - whatever it happens to be - that taps into the part of you that makes you forget about all the rest of it.
It's better to pursue things that are meaningful than things that make you happy.
This thought reminds you that even though the baseline of life is difficult, you can still prevail.

Annual inflation is computed as rate of change of current CPI vs CPI a year ago (the base). The numbers show that inflation is higher in Feb 2024 because CPI (prices) rose, not because base was lower or "fading". Prices simply soared; base did not shrink.
You don’t need to be the fastest learner, you need to make your mind about the few things that you really want to do, and execute with a much longer timeframe than most people. There isn’t much competition left after the first few years. After a decade, it almost feels lonely.
