Living The Dream With PayPerPost

Wow, just opened my Email and more good news!!!!! This blog has been approved by the number one "Sponsored Review" company of payperpost !!

I'm so excited as I would also like to give a great example of perseverance and determination by sticking to your belief that if denied or failed, to keep on pushing as there will be open opportunities for you in the future. Let me tell you that this blog was denied several times until today! Yeaaa!!!! Just really happy and would like to share my happiness to you all once again.

I wanted in my heart to signed up to payperpost because after researching around the net, I found out that www.payperpost.com pioneered the 'Sponsored Review' model for bloggers as it is considered the most credible and the most prestigious company in the world.

Payperpost also lets you add friends to your account in order for you to network and learn from one another. It is a great website that opens doors for bloggers and once again, I advise all of you bloggers out there to sign up.

You can earn and make good money if your are consistent with your writing. Also, if you build a good name for yourself, advertisers can come running to your blog for reviews. :) Wow, hope someday that will happen to this blog.. hehehe.. ("remembering to always have the happiness and not the end in mind..")

Its amazing how payperpost can create a wonderful opportunity for me as a 3rd world citizen to give way to live my passion into making a living from writing. I am grateful and I thank the Lord above for the blessings that has come down to me and my family. I pray that our dreams can all come true and live the lifestyle that we seek which does not allow it to be driven by other factors.

This is a beginning of a new life for me and my family. Lets live, be happy and reach way higher than the stars. :)

On a further note, if I do make a good living from payperpost and earn good money from my writing, I will definitely take it upon to upgrade my family's quality of life, reconstruct my lifestyle, give back to those in need, as well as give my daughter the best education she can possibly have by enrolling her to the most prestigious schools in Indonesia.

Remember!! Keep on pushing it as things do happen for a reason. Follow your heart and let it lead you to wherever you'd like to be.

Determination & Perseverance

On today's post, I'd like to talk about perseverance and determination. Before we start, I'd like to define the definition of Determination and Perseverance below.

Determination - "The quality of being determined to do or achieve something; "his determination showed in his every movement"; "he/she is a man of purpose"

Perseverance - "The act of persisting or persevering; continuing or repeating behavior; "his/her perseveration continued to the point where it was no longer appropriate"

Now you know the meaning of the 2 words, I don't really want to get into the theories or write a whole alot about examples that will only make you argue your own personal situation versus that of examples from the post, but more into being able to reflect your own situation with that of whatever results you want to achieve.

I'd like to talk about failing forward as the best way to undergo perseverance and determination. As you go through the days to achieve whatever goal it is that you have in mind, you tend to be challenged by many around you especially your close ones (family, spouse, siblings, boss, etc). That is one of the biggest obstacles that you will have to face in following through with your goal in mind.

Many that care for you will tell you, "because I care for you, that is why i'm telling you this.. bla.. bla.. you've failed and your failing, so its best that you .... bla... bla.." only to make you think twice about your goal thinking to yourself (is this it or do I go on?) --> You think about it hard, you fall back on your plans, you adjust it, tweak it a bit and still questioning yourself, then the "Perseverance & Determination in your heart says, "screw them, they care for me but I care about my goal/dream", "I must go on!"

That is the key to perseverance and determination.

You sort out and fight yourself that give thoughts of quiting into pushing yourself to accomplish your goal. Remember, all the greats, had to fail always in order to get to where they are right now. It is about failing forward to achieve whatever it is you want to achieve.

Listen to your heart and keep on pushing it.

Taking baby steps

As human beings, we have the tendency to want things fast as all of us want the best for as little effort as possible. It is common for some of us to want to achieve as much as possible with as little effort as possible.

This is just natural for us human beings.

We forget that we were all once babies and we all needed time and help for us to get to that next level. Just like walking.. We weren't born in the delivery room and just started running around the hospital and talking to all the doctors about your experiences in the womb.. no, thats just insane to think about it. And if you've ever witnessed anything like that, then you must be out of your mind.. (just a little humor to lighten up your day)

Once we grow up as adults, we forget that to achieve success, we will always need to go through the baby steps. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."

Lets be a tough person and keep going!
