Something out from nothing

Renowned Atheist:
Richard
Dawkins
Been hell bent over a super busy day, when I decided to skim across the web for some good old fashion 5-minute break to let off some steam.


I came across an article on this web page that bolsters the evidences of an understanding I once harbored - that god does not exist.

King of the (over-the-) hill

I got this overwhelming feeling these past few days. I feel a combination of sorts: lost, confused, perplexed, and complacent (but not in a positive way). I know that this is just another low-point in a series of lulls and valleys that is my life.


As I witness the year’s goings-on, there’s a sense of panic whenever I see missed (sometimes, lost) opportunities whizzing past my line-of-sight. I often fall into deep reflection, wondering a multitude of “what-if” scenarios… filling my “grief cup” to the brim.

Running out of prime time?


What do I need to do to stop procrastinating into putting up my own business NOW!

It's been over 18 months now since we got back to the Philippines and not one of the resolution I pledged back then has come true.

First of all, I'm still struggling on making a significant enough fold to my finances. Next is that my plans to complete my Masters is still nowhere truer now than it has ever been. And finally, laying the ground work for my objective to retire (with sustainable passive income) on my 35th birthday has yet to break ground.
