What I Am Grateful For!

I have been feeling sad and angry lately so that means that its time for me to think about all the things that I am grateful for! I know that there are people who are much more worse off than me and I do have a lot of things to be grateful for.

In the past, the law of attraction has worked for me as far as being able to manifest small amounts of money but I think that when I want to manifest the most - I try too hard and I think that is the case now.

I did have the promise of some money being sent to me but for whatever reason it hasn't been sent yet - thus the reason for my feelings of anger and frustration. So its time to take a look at the things that I am grateful for.

I'm grateful for the food that I have! It may not be much but there had been a time when I actually had NO food! No bread, no crackers, no meat! There were times when water was my only meal and you know I was even grateful for that because it meant that I still had water!

I got some good news from legal aid! It seems that there is the possibility that my mortgage company was doing unfair mortgaging and they are looking into it further!

I got my monthly electric and heating bill and the amount due is $0 - I'm very grateful for that!

It's a gorgeous day outside and so nice for it being the beginning of the July 4 weekend. I have to admit that I am a bit of a hermit and enjoy working at my computer but I can hear what's going on by listening to my radio and tuning in to the local stations.

Yes I do have a lot to be grateful for and I do these gratitude lists when I'm feeling down and depressed. It's something that you may want to try yourself.

What Is Your Passion!

What is your passion?

What is it that you LOVE to do?

I heard this quote that said "Do what you love and the money will follow"

What is my passion? My passion is working on the computer. I could do it day and night - and I have!

How can I make money with my passion? Well in some ways I already have! I have earned money designing websites for others. I have also earned money designing business card and I have also made money doing some research for people who were looking for information. I have also made money with Google's Adsense program. So I have actually earned money doing what I love to do! (Just have to earn enough of it!

You may have a passion for something but may not think that you could make any money pursuing it. You should keep this in mind - whatever it is that you love to do and want to start a business doing it there is already someone out there who is doing it (or something close to it) now.

"Work At Home" Scams!

I realize that there are a lot of people who would love to be able to work from home!

And to be quite honest there are quite a number of people that do work from home - legitimately and successfully!

It is not impossible to be able to work from home! I do it and so do a lot of other people but I really have to warn you about all these work at home scams. There are a lot of them out there and they look very attractive and enticing! One of the best things that I can recommend is that you first check with the Better Business Bureau before you decide to work with any of these companies!

How do people work at home then? Like me for instance I have Adsense ads here on this blog and they are earning me some money! I have also done websites for other people and I have done some consulting as well! While I am not an Adsense millionaire yet, I plan to be one and it is part of my mission statement!

The name of this blog is "Doing What I Love" and since one of the things that I love to do is to work on my computer, the fact that I have made some money while working on my computer proves to me that this is something that can be done!

While I am not debt-free yet and sometimes have gone without food!.........I don't want to dwell on the negative! The fact that I have actually earned money while working on my computer is positive news enough!

However this post is about "Working At Home" scams - that is what I originally wanted to talk about! I know that they may seem attractive but like I posted above check with the BBB first before you send any money to any of these places!

So how can you work at home? Take something that you love to do and turn that into a business! Even Donald Trump has said this!

Like I said before one of the things that I love to do is working on my computer! I have successfully managed to get actual paying clients - something that I'm proud of (and actually shocked by!) - mostly by designing websites for them. What a thrill to actually be able to be self-employed! Now I am working on my mission statement - that you can see on the side of this blog!

I know it may be hard for you to believe that you could take something that you love and be able to turn it into a business but you would be surprised at the number of people who have done this! I recommend that you read this blog, Working From Home, that has a lot of interesting blog posts about being able to work from home!

For me it's back to work.....................................

Want To Start Making Money From Home? Start A Blog!

One way to make money online (and legitimately I might add!) is to start a blog and add Adsense ads to it! That is what I am doing with this blog!

Adsense is a program where you add ads to your website or blog and when visitors to your site click on those ads you then earn money! How much money you earn is going to depend on a few things but according to The Adsense Consultant one of the determining factors of how much money you make with adsense will depend on the content of your site. You see advertisers will pay higher amounts for certain content and the higher the advertisers' pay, the more money you will earn with adsense.

Here is a link to a blog post about how much money some people have been making with adsense! I'm sure that you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that there have been a few Adsense Millionaires out there!

But the point that I want to make is that if you are at home and you have a computer and access to the Internet and you want to start making money from home that you should start a blog and add Adsense ads to it. I firmly believe that you can have a good blog about something that is relevent to you and / or something that you are passionate about and still be able to have adsense ads on it and it still be a legitimate blog!

Instead of being jealous, I am very happy for him!

I have a brother who is a veteran! He gets more money per month than I do! Since he has a number of disabilities he also gets a disability check!

I used to be jealous of that because he was getting more money than I was per month and I was working at the time!

Like I mentioned before, he has had some serious health issues that he has to deal with!

I'm actually happen that he has managed to live a fairly good life. For a long time he was a drug user!

But now he has settled down - his health actually has made it necessary for him to slow down and take it easy. He is starting to eat more healthy foods now and he is also starting to get into religion!

I know that some people may put the Veteran's Administration down but they have helped my brother to be able to live a better life!

I know that there is a lot of paperwork and red tape involved when one is trying to get benefits from the government but it is well worth it and if you are entitled to these government benefits then you should definitely apply for them!

Working From Home?

I have noticed that a lot of people would like to be able to work from home! It may not be as impossible as one thinks!

So many people have posted about how hard it is for them to find a job or because of an illness they are not able to be able to hold on to a job for long!

My last job I got fired for being too slow! I was quite angry about that for a while until I heard different pieces of advice. Oh well, firing me is their loss and not mine!

Also at the time my mother was very ill and I was taking care of and watching over her.

My mother has since passed away and I am very proud that I gave her the best funeral that I could!

All the things that have recently happened to me in my life revolve around me and my home. I take this as a sign that what I really dream of doing - which is working from home is possible!

I have earned money before from working at home. I have been paid for creating websites for other people and more recently I have discovered Google's Adsense program which lets you earn money by placing ads on one's site.

I haven't made $1 Million Dollars yet but that is now part of my mission statement. Sometimes I haven't had enough money for food but recently I have found a site that has helped me by providing donations of money for food! I can't tell you how welcoming that is and how grateful I am for them!

So I have actually made money working from home - and I have been able to earn that money legitimately. So it is possible to be able to make money from home.

You can start like me and start a blog or website and then add Google's Adsense ads to your site - at least that will be a start.

My Mission Statement!

I got this idea from Bishop TD Jakes! He said that people go through their lives without having a mission or a purpose. I have always wanted to be finacially wealthy but I never thought of putting or writing it down as my mission. But I have done that now!

It is my mission to have at least $1 Million Dollars in my bank account and I would be living off the interest!

Achieving this goal will allow me to continue to do the work that I love which is working on the computer!

What Is It That I LOVE To Do?

What I LOVE doing is working on the computer! That is one of the things that I love to do!

If I could spend all of my time on the computer it would be just great! Although I know that there are other things that have to be done like shopping for food and doing my laundry and paying my bills!

One way that I can make money and combine it with my love of working on my computer is with Google's Adsense program! This program lets you put ads on your site and when people click on the ads you earn money! I have gotten a lot of valuable information about this program from The Adsense Consultant's Blog.
