Thoughts on a rainy day

It's another rainy day again here on my side of the world and the tip tap tip tap of the rain on our roof made me smile. And that sound is one of my favorites. The peter pater peter patter on the roof, the splashing sound when it reached the ground is like a lullaby to me or like a melody that always invites me to hum along.

However, no matter how nice the sound of it, there are still some thoughts that I can't take off my mind.

Find extra source of income.

This has been on my mind for the past few weeks though I have my own business and a side hustle still my earnings are still not enough for the monthly expenses that I have. And while I was searching for a new side hustle I came across People per hour a site that offers a lot of opportunities not only here in the Philippines but they cater other countries too.

Earning vary on the job that you will get of course. There are some that pays $2 to $3 per hour and there are some that pays as much as $20 per hour. Most of the job they offers are microjobs that can be done for 2 to 3 hours. But of course, getting an employer is not that easy so you really have to work your way on some certifications.

Find my way.

This one should go hand in hand while earning. It doesn't mean that just because you have a permanent job and working there for 5 or more years means you already found your path. It doesn't mean that that's where you belong already. There are times that after a few years one will realize that where he/she is not really what he/she wanted to be. It doesn't mean that if we are surrounded by the people who need us means that it's the path that we should keep on taking.

There are times that we have to find a new path not because it will give us adventure, not because the path we are taking seems lifeless already. We have to find a new path to know more about ourselves, to learn more about life, and to find our purpose.

Life doesn't get easy as we grow older but because of the challenges that we encounter as we age we become tough and wiser which makes life sweet and fun.

Problems will always be there, life will always test us and there is no quitting on the options that it gave us. So we have to keep fighting, keep striving, and one day you will just find yourself smiling because all these problems, all the tests,s, and challenges brought you to where you should really be. So never ever give up and keep on finding your own way.

And if you've come this far... I hope that I was able to entertain you and made you smile... and for that Thank you.
