Life Of a Penniless Dreamer

Dear dreamer, Time flies With time, a lot of things happen. We tend to evolve with things we experience. That's why I always tell people to pay attention to our experience. Somehow, they shape us for the rest of our lives. They affect the way we view the remainder of our life and experience. We grow whether in tough situation or in ease.  There is one vital part of evolving though; it is the fact that we become more shameless and more down-to-earth. Prior to now, I was always conscious about a lot of things. I seem to be less concerned about things. If anyone ever told me, I would be ready to talk to different people trying to get something I want but seems to be beyond just me. Anything that would involve me talking about myself or my dreams or aspirations or challenges always makes me squirm. It would send me running off in the opposite direction.  But, I have begun to realise that my problems has nothing to do with the noise in my environment. I am the only one that underst...

Dear dreamer, Change... Today, I was supposed to talk about the way we evolve and the most important part of growing but this moment is one where I would rather be silent and say a silent ode to the beginning and the end to every phase of our life. We will discuss this subject later. But, like our usual rodeo, I have to remind us that this is our one chance to live our dreams and we should not waste it.                    ~A Penniless Dreamer

Dear dreamer, Choose wisely If you were asked to describe yourself, what do you think you will say. Of course, there is nothing else to say apart from your choices. That is the essence of your life so would you pick something that important casually? Now, I can remember saying that we should be careful when making our choices. Today is just a short continuation of that. The only difference is that this time, I am talking about the things we do and claim is not part of our choices.  We always have a choice. We have the power to do anything regardless of what it is. It all starts out in our minds. There is nothing that we do that comes by chance. When we skip certain things, it's because we never planned to do it. The day I decided on a different course of action, I never failed despite the challenges I faced. No matter how many times we tell ourselves that there is nothing we can do about it, we know that there is yet another stone we have not turned in the course of the search....

Dear dreamer, Hope lives... A lot of times we make some poor choices. A choice is a choice whether you realise when you made it or not. Sometimes, I recount how different things could have been if I made different choices earlier. So many of them, time and time again, some bear more severe consequences than the others. Some of the consequences can be very difficult to live with. I somehow desperately look for how to resolve some because their effects were overarching. Anything as long as I don't have to deal with the choices I made ignorantly or unintentionally. A lot of times, I find that many of this choices can not be reversed.  It's easy to drown in tiredness or grief from consequences. But, there is something I always remember. The fact that I can think of the choices I made means there is life. I still have another chance to pull through with my entire essence and existence. While life remains, hope lives. You can either sit down and wallow in the grief of making the ...

Dear dreamer, Mixing it up... If there is anything that I have learnt, it is to always get my facts clear. In this world we live in, it's easy to get everything confused. You miss a target, you feel less skilled. You work hard to get something and fail to do that, you feel you are a lazy person. You mess up a project or two and somehow, you somehow begin to feel that you are not as intelligent or hard working as you think. That's what I call mixing up the facts.  I work very hard to make everything as good as they could be. The least thing I could do for myself is to declare the positive things I work to achieve instead of feeling some type of way because of something that has always been beyond me. I will have us understand the Pareto principle. It has helped me to cope with things go awry a lot of time. Only twenty percent of your life effort will yield eighty percent of your life's worth. It means you will do a lot of failed projects, does it mean you will never make it?...

Dear dreamer, Find it... Your focus should be in finding the flow. If you study history closely, your will discover that there is a trend of the flow. There was a time where the best thing to be was a business owner. There was another time where business owner suffered and it was athletics that was a trend. Likewise, there were times where the best trade to be in was a software developer. That flow is what's important, follow it with your life. It somehow manages to stir your life, believe it or not. There are individuals who can tell the season by studying the trends carefully. You too can if you are patient enough to study them. If not, work with someone who can tell the trend better than you. You might be wondering why it's that important. It saves you from unnecessary work and helps to spend your most important currency- time, the best way. You sow your time for what will pay the highest return. You can save your time for what deserves it and prevent waste.  If you will con...
