Blog 11: "A Promising Life"

Fifteen years towards my future would be what I call a promising life. From then on, I would be living a "financially-free" life. I could see that I'd have my own coffee shop franchise filled with fame, prestige, and skyrocketing profits. I'd have the luxury of experiencing the sweet wonders money can buy. Having possessed a huge estate situated near the yellow, sandy beaches is nothing but living a beautiful life. Along with the gargantuan estate, I'd own a heavily customized red Ferrari with expensive seats, and a well-oiled engine. I could have my private plane like America's Air Force One and a sky-blue yacht to take me to business trips or me and my family to vacation trips. I can have my children enrolled to a prestigious school to ensure them the excellence in quality education. I also won't have to scratch my head thinking on how to pay my debts. I'd be free from any financial difficulties that had once plagued my life in childhood. Besides money, I'd also have my "personal adviser and partner in life" - my wife. Her tantalizing eyes, cheerful personality, and beautiful smile would help me get through the day. She'd be there to encourage me in pursuing my dreams but also discourages me if I crossed the boundaries to the point I could possibly have no time with family. But what distinguishes her with any other woman is that unlike the others, she'd help me with business matters or just simply enjoy each other's company drinking Jamaican coffee in the balcony having a bird's eye view of the romantic sceneries. She'd be one of those women any man could want to have, and I consider myself blessed to have had one with me. Most of all, it's not having the money to improve myself that would make my life promising per se, but rather I can use my money to share it to other people. With the money I'd have, I can finally let my parents have their well-deserved rest after years of hardwork. I can finally afford medical help that my ailing grandmother desperately needs and have my father's goiter finally treated. I would also establish charity foundations to help the needy in my community and beyond like providing the financially insufficient families scholarships for their children or have feeding programs in the barrios. Or I could teach them business techniques and provide them a reasonable sum of capital in order for them to be encouraged in initiating a business and instill to them that everyone, even a struggling person could rise from poverty and other hardships in life. In this, I can help make my life promising not only to myself but to others as well. In other words, it's like my way of giving back the graces I've received from the Almighty. How amazing it is to live a promising life.
