There are two things I learned in life. One is the harsh truth that even if your bank account is at seven digits right now, there's no guarantee that it will still be there tomorrow. You might wake up one day and see zero balance on your passbook sheet.
The other lesson teaches you about hope that even if you have no enough money right now, it doesn't mean that you can't earn big tomorrow. Through hardwork and faith in God, anything is possible. I experienced these things myself.
From eating at Pancake House everyday, when I was a kid, to finding myself eating 10-peso veggie meals daily, when I was a young adult. I didn't even try to excel in school because I thought life was easy. My parents were running a business and I was planning to just work there.
But, life has a way of testing our faith. Challenges were thrown our way. I woke up one day, not having enough money to sustain myself. There was a point in my life wherein I only had 1,000 pesos left in my wallet, and I needed to budget it for a month.
My empty stomach motivated me and through God's grace I was able to bounce back. My hardwork paid off and I earned big. I invested my money in stocks and mutual funds, so that when the rainy day comes again I'll have something to cover me financially.
Life is full of bumps and another stone was thrown my way. I got terminated from my previous job. I found myself financially challenged yet again. My wife was pregnant, I was jobless, and then the pandemic happened. Thankfully, my investments saved me during this rainy season of my life.
We were also building our house when the pandemic hit. But, God moves in mysterious ways. Our house was finished and I became a Licensed Financial Advisor. Now, my life purpose is to teach other people the importance of having investments like LIFE INSURANCE. So that when a storm comes, you have an umbrella to cover you and your family financially.
