Balance

Hello All,

Being a father of three, it can sometimes be difficult to juggle work and fatherhood. On one hand, I am chasing my dreams in order to provide more opportunities for my little ones and show them that they can chase their dreams. On the other hand, I have to make time for their activities and also time for them to interact with me.

Since I work at home, primarily on creating books, blogs, websites, and social media presence it is hard for my kids to understand my work. They think I'm playing, this cause issues with boundaries on my time. My girls are often frustrated when they bother me when I am in the zone, and I become angry because they interrupt me. They also constantly ask what did for the day. They are use to seeing me along with the rest society go to a place to work, not play all day at home.

I have to constantly regulate my emotions to deal with the interuptions that sometimes destroy my flow. I have to designate quality time for my little ones to give them the attention they require. I also need to designate time for no-interruptions or get up at 2am or 3am in the morning to remain focused so the kids won't bother me.

Perhaps, the most important lesson from this is to remember why I am chasing my dreams in the first place. I want to be happy and to show them how they can create a life for themselves to maximize their happiness. If I don't set aside some quality time for them, my goals are worthless.

In the end, my kids don't want much of my time they get bored of me after an hour. I keep reminding myself that time is the most precious asset I own. The best way to show someone you care about them is to give them some of you time.  I also have to make time for my spouse!

Faith

Hello All, I keep moving forward even though sometimes the odds are stacked against me. I realize that I create my odds. I must have faith and believe when even I can't see a way out. I have been preparing for a year and a half and I choose to believe that one of the seeds that I have planted will provide me fruit. Unfortunately, I become impatient sometimes and want things to happen quickly, even thought I know it is not wise. I have been frustrated, stress, and yet I still have faith. I know I have given everything but I still have so much more I can give and do to realize my dreams and goals. Struggle is real and so is my faith sometimes. 6/13/2017, Ramon

Where to Start?

Hello All, I have learned the importance of long-term and short-term planning. When you are chasing your dreams or lofty goals, you end up becoming very busy. It sounds great but if you are not careful you will find yourself doing a meaningless task or letting the important stuff slip through the cracks. Planning for the long and short term can help stay on task and prioritize your workload. Every day I have to look at my long-term plan and short-term plan to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. Today I ran into a problem completing a task because it requires other tasks to be completed first, unfortunately, those task cannot be completed until a later date. This is frustrating because it left me at a standstill and I had to figure out what else to do. When you are trying to start your own company with limited resources, you have to be resourceful and find something else to do that will contribute toward your goal. There is always something to be done so you alw...

Vision

Hello all, We all are familiar with vision, in the since of seeing something that will happen in the future. I'm talking about the vision we see when we think about the possibilities in the future. While we at Twinlightenment are creating our vision, we tend to create more ripples, possibilities, or visions for our future. This is probably the second most exciting part of our journey. The most exciting part of the journey is having an idea and bringing something from your mind into physical existence in this world. If you are able to successfully do that, than you can do anything. We have produced two books, 60 songs and have set up our coaching programs and our presence on several social media platforms.

Good luck, to any of you on realizing your vision on your journey, and if you have time check us out on all of our plat...
