I Wished I Had A Good Degree And Work For A MNC
Today, my members invited me to their house to celebrate their success. They have managed to move into a landed property within their budget. It’s a beautiful house. And counting in the budget, they have gotten a great deal.
When we sat down to share a meal, we chit chat about many things, until one topic hit me hard in my heart.
The ladies were talking about motherhood and lamenting about the absence of their hubbies when they needed him then, especially when feeding time comes.
One hubby reminded his wife that he was always there to help with the kids.
My wife on the other hand, lamented about me being overseas while she struggled with three young toddlers.
The moment she said that, I was transported back into that time when i held a job as a Regional Manager after a real bad business failure resulting in $200K debts.
During those years, I often hated myself for not having good paper education.
I hated being poor and not able to travel overseas to get a nice certificate.
I hated being called “stupid” and “silly” in schools.
I hated being slammed for asking “stupid questions”.
In short, I hated myself and everything about myself.
I did not love myself.
I felt like a failure.
Can you relate to this feeling?
At that time, the only way for this father to bring bread to the table, was to travel overseas, make money for my boss and not being a daddy to my kids, husband to my wife and son to my parents.
Today, I live a vastly different life. I have total control of my life. I do what I like. And (almost) nobody can ask me to do something I do not want. I do not trade time for money.
I am thankful that I have embarked my quest to be a landlord so I can collect rental for a living.
I am thankful that the education from many coaches, my own life experience and the Community I have now, are able to serve more people, helping many of them to enjoy life, with passive income and most importantly within a short span of time.
If you are struggling in life, facing similar experiences, perhaps having a conversation with us may help.
Life does not have to be hard.
If you are living a hard life now, then most likely its becos of the information in your head is not serving you well. New info is needed to replace the old info, like handphone replacing pagers.
If you are keen, type comment below “ Lets chat”. We will get in touch with you.
Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed now, not later.
My kids did not wait for me to grow up. Its a painful experience, which I do not wish anyone of you experiencing this pain.

PS : a few hours ago, coincidentally, while chatting with my Mentor, he told me that another well-known international speaker ‘s daughter married a man in his 60s. She is in her 20s. The son-in-law is same age as the father-in-law. Could that be due to the absence of a man figure in their home as he was travelling a lot to become an International Speaker?
