Leftover

Hey all,

Even though the thought of having leftovers seems to have a negative connotation, for most dishes leftovers seem to taste better in my opinion. Maybe it is because the flavor settled or maybe I didn't appreciate the flavor the first time. I'm starting to look at life that way. How many of us would risk it all to find our authentic selves? Meaning how many would give up our current way of life, the money, cars, and job for a chance to discover ourselves? How many would be satisfied with what is leftover after you get rid of glamour around stuff.

It can be difficult to grasp but, we are not our money, we are not the stuff we accumulated, we are not our jobs. We were probably much happier before we accumulated that stuff we thought would enhance our lives and our identity.

It took me a while to figure out that none of that stuff truly made me happy. Instead of being happy with myself I wanted what others had. Now, I am on a spiritual journey to help others through my purpose,  and as I continue to shed the money. my stuff, and ego. I am learning that what is leftover (my true self) is much better than the other versions of me.

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

Learning

Hello All, It is interesting how you can learn pretty much anything from Youtube nowadays. It has become my go-to source for information even before googling things on the internet. It is probably due to it being video. I get a ton of spiritual and mental stimulation from it. On the days that I have major doubt or setback I turn to youtube for motivation. On of my goals is to provide others with inspiration from this platform. I have already placed videos on the platform, they have limited views but I believe they are very good videos. It has become clear that I still have a lot to learn on Youtube if I want my messages to reach more people. 06/14/17 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...
