Second chance, the chance everyone needs to take - Have you got yours?


Don't give up on your goals

One of my favorite quote about life's journey is "When obstacle arise, you  change your direction to reach your goal, you do not change your decision to get there" I did many things in life that at first, I wasn't able to accomplish until I gave it a second chance and one of those things is my goal to create my own blog.

When I first tried creating one, I was overwhelmed by the things that I need to learn, the things I need to setup and the path I need to take. I was eaten alive by my fears and so I quit. I quit but I never gave up. I still have that goal at the back of my mind.

Then reality struck me, I am broke. I can't even pay my own medicines, I can't contribute to my family's finances, I was useless. I needed to do something about it. I know for now that I can't get back to the corporate world, I just can't go back to those hell days of stress and anxiety. 

But I need to do something.

I realized that what I have to do is to find something that I love, something that I can do with what I have where I am at this point in my life. 

And then I remember my goal of creating a blog, It was like a lightbulb above my head and I was like, I need to give this a second chance, I have nothing to lose, I am already broke and I have no choice, my wife needs my help, my family needs my help, my own-self needs my help

I suddenly rushed to my laptop and purchased a domain name, I asked my wife if she can help me pay for it, that's how broke I am and there's no way I'm not going do this anymore. It's now or never.

I created my blog from scratch, all of my fears, all of my doubts disappeared because my goal now is larger than any of those fears. I worked so hard day in and day out to put out quality contents on it as fast and as many as I can. I want to maximize my time and put my blog as close as possible to the opportunity to earn money for my family.

With hard work and dedication, I know all of these sleepless nights and tiring days will pay off in the long run. I love what I am doing and I am happy to know that there's a possibility for me to help my family in the future.

I'm glad I gave this a second chance. A second chance to prove myself that I can still reach my goals whatever obstacles there may be

And again, before I end this part of the story of my life, let me share you this video I made about my battle against anxiety. A battle that I will win.
