Just the day before I travel, my newborn son was waking almost every other hour requiring attention from my wife and I and as I was about to travel the next day, I was trying to get as much sleep as I could.

I suddenly felt very helpless and incompetent as it all seems to be that my wife is managing the home affairs and I couldn’t help much. At that moment, I thought to myself and even told my wife that since I couldn’t help much, I might as well and be better off traveling doing my work and bring the bread back home.

My wife did not say how surprised she was listening to what I said until about a week later when I started telling her that I feel that our passion and lovingness seems to be dwindling ever since our second child was born.

What a coincidence or is it the attraction that we are doing that while having dinner at a restaurant in Central Java one night, I heard an old song from Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville, “I don’t know much but I know I love you…”

At that instant moment, I was overwhelmed by the song as I thought to myself, I may not really know as much as I would probably should in the business that I am working on or even the work that I am working laboriously on but I definitely know that I love my wife very much.

Honestly speaking, I have to thank all those personal development that I have been engaging these years not to sabotage my balance for family time with my work and more importantly, expressing my love for the loved ones before it is too late.

For those of you who have not been expressing your love to your loved ones, is this the time to dedicate this song to your loved ones?

Here I am again, feeling a little bit tired and frustrated of why it seems like I am not getting any nearer towards achieving my dream of gaining financial independence and each day goes by like I am either getting nowhere near or even further away from my dream.

It has already been more than 6 years since I have been exposed to the idea of building my business or fortune part time while working on my job full time and since then, I have been tenaciously working in hope of working towards my achievement of financial independence for my family and I.  Yet, these 6 years has passed to what I feel without much progress or even results to show for.

Coincidentally, my eldest brother asked me yesterday:

“How is your business going on?”

What am I supposed to answer?  Positively saying, good or better than ever, which is not true.  Or should I say, I am still working on it and disciplining myself to work on the business part time with the vision of achieving financial independence one day but I never know when is that day going to come?

When is that day going to come?  I always question myself…I really have no idea!

Sometimes, I just wished that I can see a sign or even someone telling me that I am doing the right thing and so long I can keep on sowing the seeds, I will reap my harvest one day. If there will to be a sign or someone telling me this, it doesn’t even matter how long it will take for that harvest to come but I don’t think that sign will appear

What should I do then?

I will work continuously on achieving my dreams because if I would have to give up now, all those past 6 years I have invested would have gone to waste.  Like what Jim Rohn says, if you keep on sowing, chances are great that you will reap your harvest and I am sure I will reap my harvest one day!
