25 Days.

Earlier in the evening, I did a little something. Something that has allowed me to feel slightly better about myself today. I was at the nearby mall and I decided to take a seat on one of those lounge chairs to relax. It’s been a stressful day. And when a man got up and as he was walking away with his wife, I saw his wallet drop onto the ground. And so, without moment’s hesitation, I decided to pick it up and handed it back to him. That is precisely what happened. But the part that most people may never admit to (even if it were actually true) is that I might have hesitated for just a tiny moment. Barely a split second, but I was tempted to hold on to the wallet as I was having it in my hands. I could’ve. Lord knows I could’ve. But nah, I knew how devastated that man would feel and the trouble it would only cause him when he realizes that he had lost his wallet. Cus that is exactly how I would feel if I realized I had dropped mine and couldn’t get it back. That’s why I quickly snap myself out of it and quickly made my way to the man.

And I was returning back to my seat, I would look back and I saw how grateful and surprised he was. Same with his wife. I figured they were half expecting that whomever picked it up might not have been so honest in returning the wallet back to him. But I did. In spite of how everything has been for me, and the uncontrollable situation that I had found myself in, I am glad that I was able to help make that man’s day better. I’m glad I was there to do that for him.

The reason why I mentioned “25 days” in main subject is because that is the exact number of days left in this month if I want to be successful at meeting my financial goal for this month. My financial goal for this month and every month going forward, is to ensure I raise an additional S$5,000 so that I can consistently clear a significant portion of my debt. If I want to seriously keep that commitment to clearing all of my debts in 24 months, I will need to consistently hit this monthly goal without fail. No matter the circumstances. Whatever it takes. And as I break down that monthly goal even further, at least for this month, and this current week, I’ll need to raise an additional S$450 by this weekend. This is already on top of my current living expenses. So yeah, for this week alone, I’ll need to find a way to make myself another S$650.

Currently, I’m still in a preliminary discussion with one of my contacts via LinkedIn. The hopes is that I can secure some form of freelance gig soon. That would most certainly help to put me one step closer to turning my monthly financial goal into reality. So, I’ll continue to stay on top of that. Hopefully, I will have some positive news on that front soon. Whatever happens though, my eyes are set on the S$5,000 goal! I must succeed!
