Thank You for the FAILURE

4th July 2015

Earlier, I just sold one of my stocks and endure the pain of 21% loss; and so all my earnings from the previous month were wiped out. Today, it felt like I’m back to square one. Do I have something to be thankful for despite the losses incurred?

YES! A definite YES!

I am thankful for the lessons I have learned from my impulsive actions. I’ve learned that in order to succeed in almost all endeavors, I must carefully evaluate the dynamics of the decision I am about to take. I’ve also learned to weigh things in terms of pros and cons; benefits and cost. Today, I am thankful that I’ve lost the game. This moment is another slice of my history which left me poignant lessons I will never have the chance to learn if I make it big in one shot.

I am also thankful for the opportunity to go back to school. Later, I will enroll in three short courses offered by the Filipino Institute (as to what courses, I will share those when the classes will finally start).

I am also thankful that God has given me the capacity to work and earn a living. Today, I already paid some of my debts and sent some money home. It felt good that I am somehow in control with my finances and that the financial freedom dream is still alive.

I am also grateful that I have received a message from a friend showing her appreciation with the content of my other blog (www.brewingabetteryou.com). Those kind words inspire me to write more and share whatever good there is.

It is a rough day but we will never run out of something to be thankful for.

How about you? What are you grateful for?
