A Journey to The $1 Million in 90 Days Challenge: Day 14 - Realization and the Formula for Success

Here’s another realization that helped me understands the scenario in our house. The situation in our house lacks openness.

Thank God Edel is there to help me realized the problem.

The problem is I tagged my father as a failure. Everything he does, everything he did and everything he will be doing is already a failure to me.

I realized this one when Edel and I had a practice negotiating session. I could not speak during that session because I was afraid to have an emotional breakdown. I was afraid to see my father and my mother having an emotional breakdown. This is the reason for most of the time we kept quiet and let silence speaks for us in the family. Silence brought us to our current situation right now.

In order to break the wall, I need to be open. I need to do something to let them share their thoughts.

So here’s my strategy, I’ll use the cash in flash equation for success. I’ll have a focused mind, a determined heart and a focused and determined team. My team consists of my family members. I know I can’t do it alone because for the longest time, I’m doing it my way. Now thank God I realized that I have a team. I have a team to help me get the things we want for our family.

One of the reasons why I got into this challenge is to have $1M for me and for my family at this time. Also, I wanted to have that openness in our family. I know this will come true.

By the way, I re-created this blog post since my internet connection is down yesterday. My PC crashed as well while saving this Day 14 entry.



I can do this!

A Journey to The $1 Million in 90 Days Challenge: Day 4 - Realizations

I learned a valuable lesson today. Being wealthy does not mean having thousand of money in your investment funds. Being wealthy does not mean having multiple businesses that enables you to earn more than you could spend. Being wealthy does not mean you have thousands of great ideas that can be turned into pots of gold.

Having lots of money does not bring happiness all the time. Judas Iscariot received a huge sum of money but he regretted it. He was unhappy because he betrayed a friend. He was unhappy because of guilt he felt inside his heart.

Being wealthy means a balanced life. A time balanced for God, for family, for friends and colleagues, for yourself (health) and for your work (which gives you funds).

In order to achieve a wealthy life we need to work hard for it.

In order to have a great connection to our God, we need to pray unceasingly. We need to have that intimate connection with the Supreme Being. We need to be involved in work for his Kingdom to give Him more glory and praise.

In order to build happy relationships, we need to spend more time with them. We need to understand them. We need to be with them through successes and failures. We need to work hard to restore broken relationships.

In order to have good health, we need to exercise. We need to have enough sleep. We need to eat the right foods at the right quantity.

In order to have our financial freedom, we need to work hard and work smart.

In short, we need to work hard to attain the wealth we want. We need to go out of our unusual self to fix the problem. We need to step out of our comfort zone to solve the problem.

To summarize, I realized that our dreams are just outside our comfort zone waiting for us.

I’m excited to go outside my comfort zone.
