Love or Career? Which You Will Choose?

A very difficult choice if a big opportunity comes into your life. But there is only one absolute answer to this question and you will know it as you are reading this article.

Why Career?

Because you want to make sure that you have a bright future with your family. You want to make sure that you can provide all their needs by the time you already have babies. You want to make sure that you will not suffer from hunger. You want to make sure that everything will be alright and you can give them whatever they want. But with the time you spend on your career, have you ask yourself if you still have time with your family? If ever you already have kids and ask them what they want, and they've answered you, they want your time as a mom or dad. Can you give it to them if all you do is work work work? 

A lot of people will sacrifice the love to their family for them to provide all their needs and wants. It is not really a bad thing if you want to secure their future, but you should always give time to spend with your family. Because your family is a gift who will be there for you even through thick and thin.

Why Love?

There is no guarantee that you can provide all your children wants. But one thing is for sure, you will live a happy life. You can never find happiness with your career. All it will brought you up is stress which is not healthy for you. All of us deserve to be happy and live a longer life.

It is also a double win situation for you because your family would be your career. You have love, and you have a career. Though it is a different kind of career because you will be paid by love. There are times might be tougher, but love will make a way for you to survive all difficulties. Love works just like magic.

The hidden truth about choosing Love or Career.

Love is equivalent to God. While Career is equivalent to Money.

In Career you work for money. I understand that you want to secure your future and the future of your family. But the question is, will you be able to make a happy family with proper care and love if your mindset is on your career? Definitely not.

In Love you work for God. In 1 John 4:8, "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." You should share your love to others just what God do to us. Even give His on only begotten Son to save our sins. And the first command of God to Adam and Eve, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." As I have said earlier, your family is your career. You've already won with the love of your family, plus the career. 

Will you choose Money over God?

Money is the Root of All Evil? Not Really

The idea that has been spread all over the world that "Money is the root of all evil" is definitely wrong. Money is not the root of all evil, but it is only a tool that we used everyday. In fact, we can use it to help other people that is in need. The problem is not the money, but GREED is.

To correct this phrase "Greed is the root of all Evil". Many people are so greedy with their wealth, they did not realize how it will affect to the people in need. That's why crimes (robbery, stealing, etc.) happened all the time because of the need to survive with their life. Imagine if all of us sharing with all our needs, there should be peace on earth but that's too ideal, isn't it? In reality, greed lives in every person and there's no way to eliminate this until you completely surrender yourself to God.

In Matthew 19:21, Jesus answered when He asked by a rich man what else he can do aside from following the Ten Commandments, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Your ultimate purpose in life is to share. And always think that if you share good things to the people in need, it will come back to you 10 times greater. Use your money as tool to help others and eliminate the greediness that lives in you. That might be so hard to do, but you can do it little by little everyday. In time, you will never notice that you have already surrendered yourself to God.

Money Issues? Don't Let Money Destroy Your Relationship

In a traditional setting, women are always financially dependent to their husband. Women's role is to do the budgeting and make sure that the money would sustain the family until the next payday. It's actually such a pain especially if the demand of the family is greater than the income. Whether you like it or not, the truth is money really matters.

Food on the table, electric bill, water bill,phone bill, kids tuition, projects and countless of other expenses are inevitable when you have a family. The bigger the family, the greater the expenses are. Financial stability is always the goal. Who wouldn't want to retire and relax at an early age? Nobody wants to work hard when they're on their 60's. Believe me, couples don't just fight out of jealousy but of money as well. Housewives received the blame if the budget goes way out of the list.

I'm not a money guru and like any normal couple, me and my husband also argues about money. I would still consider us lucky that even if we don't have tons of extra cash, we don't let the money issue weakens our relationship. Yes, it's money but there's more to life than money. Well, how couples should handle the money issue?

When husband questions how come the budget comes short, tell him the truth. It actually hurts a lot to housewives who are trying to meet both ends for the family, to be questioned like this. It's advisable if you keep your own budget list so he'll know where the money goes. And it would even be better if he would also participate in the budgeting phase so you two can agree on what comes first on your list.

If one of you would  like to buy something that would shed a huge amount, consult your other half. It wouldn't hurt any of you if you practice the act of consulting each other. In this way, you can weigh things over and perhaps be enlightened if the said purchase is necessary or not. This practice allows transparency and avoids money conflict.

Don't let money dictate your relationship. Remember that money can buy a house but not a home, things but not happiness, a partner but not a pure and long lasting love.
