Rackie - Freelance Entrepreneur


1. Who am I?

Who am I? Yes, I am asking myself who really am I. Actually, this question will never took place if it’s not because of CA2020 community where I am involved in. Seriously speaking, I really don’t have a heart in writing but since this is all about what you learned and experienced in real life, well, I can say why not try it.

For 32 years of my existence in this world, I can say that I still have a lot of things to learn and I am on the process of asking myself what’s really my life purpose. 15 years of traditional schooling, 10 years of in and out of work and still searching of where I should be. I keep on asking myself the why’s, what’s, who’s, when’s and how’s of life?

2. What on Earth am I here for?

When I choose Life Purpose from 20 blog topics and I have to create 10 sub topics, I remember Rick Warren’s best selling book Purpose Driven Life that has a sub title What on Earth am I here for?

In his introduction, it says A Journey with a Purpose. In my journey of life, I never realized to count my staying years on Earth and have not given everything yet. Imagine I have already consumed almost half of the average life span and still don’t know where I am heading for.

So what’s my life’s purpose on Earth? As I try to understand the big picture-on how all the pieces of my life would fit together, I need to have my own perspective in life that would reduce stress, simplify my own decisions, increase satisfaction and of course preparing to meet God in His own perfect time.

3. Becoming a worthy person

Becoming a worthy person can be established in every tasked we are facing. May it be in our work place, outside our house, neighborhood, everywhere. So how can I can a deserving person?

Well, for me I believe my life purpose as a worthy person is to give back what God has given me. I know I still have talents to be discovered and for the meantime it's my turn to share what I have learned and spread how God has been very good in my life despite of so many hardships coming in.

4. Conquering Life's difficulties

In my more than 30 years of existence in this universe, it's really hard to conquer the everyday difficulties especially when you are interacting with people. I thought so it is but it's not actually. It's just a matter of understanding one's points of view because each of us are unique even twins.

But there are things that cannot be avoided especially when I am faced with family matters. It's really hard to face them but I am here for a reason and that is to face the battle of my own thoughts, actions and decisions against all odds.

5. Making a difference

Making a difference sometimes will earn you critics from the people around you. Well, that really happens especially coming from your loved ones. Because whenever I would tell them how big my dreams are they would look at me as if I have committed a crime.

I have been experiencing so many difficulties in trying to build my own life – a life that soon I would become financially free and live a life that I know God would be very grateful with me once we meet in heaven. Do whatever you wanted to do as long as you believe that you are in the right track.


6. Be focused and attentive

Before I don’t know where I’m heading to and how should I lead my life. I just go with what’s in and then I would realize another day has been wasted. But I know and I believe God has a reason why it is happening, He wants me know that I need to focus on the things that would make me a better person and be attentive to what’s going on around me in order for me to weigh things.

Controlled focus is like a laser beam that we can use to break through anything that seems to be stopping us. Yes, its true and if all of us will have this attitude, we will all succeed in every aspects of life.


7. Sharing

Sharing what I have to other people is a fulfillment. Each of us knows the things that we wanted to share like our talents of giving, teaching and the art of shaping other peoples lives.

I believe God has been shaping me become a person of strong foundation in building good relationship towards mankind. I love sharing what’s in my mind, what I learned from my mentors or acquaintances, friends and loved ones. That is life never keep what you know and what you have, you don’t know all along someone has been blessed by what you just said.

8. Love and be loved

God said love your enemies. Isn’t it too hard to follow God’s commandments? It is indeed. Easy to say and share but hard to put it in action. But then, isn’t it God had sacrifice for us all because of His great love for us?

So why not give love to mankind without asking something in return so that as time comes and we’ll be meeting God, He’ll say, well done my child.

9. My deepest why

This is a very critical matter. You need to have a strong, written “WHY” to stick around long enough to be successful in every endeavors and decisions you are doing and Your “WHY” will keep you going through rain, floods, no-shows or the ridicule of friends and loved ones.

For me, to inform people how wonderful God is and be a wealthy person for me to be able to give more.


10. Power within

God has given us the power within ourselves. There is an unlimited power within us all that needs to be awaken and use in order for us to fulfill our destiny. Learning to destroy the blocks and breakdown the walls that have been holding us back and Learn the incredible power of decision, belief system and begin how to use it.

That power within us that will lead us to know who we are, what we want and how to get it.

September 29, the day I became the official member of Create Abundance Community, because I passed the famous "Frienship Test". The night before that day, 2 personalities are talking to each other, its like, "Deal or no Deal". My "Play-safe" side is saying, "you have a high-paying job right now and a lot of job opportunities are waiting for outside the country, why join the group? It's too risky! You don't know them!" Then my growing "Risk-Taker" side is saying, "If you don't do this now, your dream of being Financially free will be forever in your dreams. Remember, you want time freedom, and you can only achieve it if you are Financially free. Stick to your motto, Earn more to Give more."

It was a struggle that night, I was already convinced even before I join the Community but somehow, my "Play-safe" side is not letting me go. While looking at the ceiling, a little voice is telling me, "what will happen to the books you've read about business and finance if you don't start right now." I prayed before I slept that night, then I said, "I'll join, so help me God!"

And now here I am, with cool and supportive coaches and business partners. With this in my circle, I believe I'm on my way to financial freedom. More power to the Group!
