TodayZ Lesson

I found $50 while riding the bike! I thought of how lucky I was, until 20 minutes later riding the bike, I found another $50 on the floor! That’s quite a coincidence!  I received this as a message from life and this was my interpretation: we are given in life so many blessings, it’s our duty to put them to the service of the right causes for us. I promised I’ll use those $100 to support a cause. Later I realised how hard is to find a cause that I feel well contributing haha. One year later, we joined a bit more of money with close friends who also wanted to contribute and we all donated equipment for a musical school for kids in a small town in Colombia.  Those $100 gave me one of my happiest moments and I didn’t even spent it on my self!

Sometimes we are really determined in our mind that we can fail to recognise the signs our body is giving us. No money recovers our body to the way it was after an injury or illness. It’s not worth it anyway as later we end up paying more money to fix the issue plus unproductive time resting it. Learning one’s limits is important.  Just a reminder to align body and mind for wellbeing. Sleeping well, drinking water and eating well are essential to support all the rest.

Life gives us times of ups and downs. There is an equilibrium in everything. Today we lose $400 because of a fine, tomorrow we get $800 for an extra payment help unexpected from an institution.  Other day someone scam us with a service payment like in my case for $231 for a phone plan. Later we get $256 by luck in a one time ever playing in a money machine at the pokies. This month we work in a hard job getting peor not well with a lot of effort, later we get an easy job getting paid very well, etc… PATIENCE. Life is about keeping our internal balance being aware that sometimes we get more or less than what we deserve, and that’s okay, it’s expected. The important part is to be loyal to ourselves, our way of seeing the world as a balance place, and the path to success in our own style. The rewards come in money, experiences, health, relationships. 

Organising the pictures from the last 8 years reminds me of who I was, what I cared about, what was important and got forgotten. It’s a great exercise to have a conversation with our previous self. We are definitely different year by year. The experiences and life continúe to shape us.  Good also to remember our dreams and passions.

¿Trabajar, ahorrar, invertir, fortalecer finanzas y repetir? O ¿trabajar, ahorrar, gastar en viajes, y repetir ? Soy más de extremos, así que me enfoqué fuertemente en la primera, y después en la segunda. ¿Valió la pena? Yo creo que sí, cada parte tiene sus retos particulares, en el primera escenario, poder mantenerse enfocado trabajando y creciendo las finanzas personales sin disfrutar aún de los frutos, en el segundo caso, gastárselo todo, disfrutar del momento, y el reto es volver a la realidad y ahorrar de nuevo haha. Estoy en la tercera parte, la de haberse gastado todo en viajes, teniendo la insatisfacción de no tener las finanzas personales como quisiera, pero a la vez la satisfacción de que todo valió la pena, y es que es difícil ponerle precio a experiencias increíbles. Conclusión. Nos queda lo bailado. Si son como yo que son más de extremos, los invito a probar el otro extremo (el de trabajar bastante con alguna meta en mente, o el de viajar bastante sin remordimiento).

Curiosamente se disfruta igual o más los momentos bonitos de la vida al recordarlos en el futuro. Interesante 🤔 Si eso es correcto, sería bueno tener formas de guardarlos en la memoria y de forma física o digital de modo que podamos re visitarlos.  Sergio.
