Million Dollars

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will. - Nelson Mandela

(I’m not a guru, I'm not an expert but here is my answer to the following question...)

 QUESTION
"If you win a million dollars, will you quit your job?" 

  ANSWER
 Winning a million dollars will definitely achieve my money goal (see Outside the Box for related story)...  

... will I quit my job? 

NO.

I love my job (I was an inclusion teacher 6 months ago, now I'm facilitating IEPs in three of the district's schools - see Believing is Seeing for the story) and I thank God for the opportunity!(... and yes, money won't be able to buy it too :)) 

But
 
... for sure I will be very enthusiastic, over-to-the-top-glad and super-duper-elated to have the money -the million dollars OMG!!! - to save, to invest, to use and to give :)     

(Best if as I am writing my thoughts here, millions of dollars are on its way to the palm of my hands LOL!)


What about you? Will you quit your job?

    For me, it's not so much about quitting my job. I'd say I'd continue working, whether in my present job or in another. I'd still want to be productive, be useful to society (assuming that I am useful now, hehe), and apply my skills and talent. Definitely I won't just sleep all day and party all night, maybe on weekends lang. :))

    Yes definitely because I would want to do something that I truly love :) call center is something I can do but not something that I truly love.

    I won't quit my job, that's for sure. The joy of working in place where people are you friends is something money can't buy too.

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Overspeeding!!!

credit While driving, a police car passed me by, turned around and followed me. I slowed down.  credit It gave a warning for me to stop. I did.  I was running a lot of excuses in my mind but decided to put it all aside. I prayed instead - Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. A police women came. "Hi!" I said, "Hello!" "Ok", she said, "I pulled you over, because you were running at 60mph in a 45 lane". I said "I'm sorry". She said "Now do you have driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes". There was a pause (Oh, I guess, this was the time when I should have given her everything already), she repeated, "So, you do have your driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes", and took out my driver's license.  She took it, and said, "so you've never been stopped before?" I said, ...
