Looking back, I can say with complete conviction that the given moment is now. Act now if you want something and do not dream about it because if you waste time, you are wasting your life.
I regret wasting my youth on trivial stuff that does not even matter now. Lucky is the youth of today because they have so many facilities and can make a living without even working a full-time job and through websites such as Hive.
Imagine a time when we could not earn any money except working a nine-to-five job and slaving all month to get only about ten or twelve dollars. That was the situation about four decades back. It is a pity that even trained nurses in our place still get meager salaries even today.
Past is past and you should look around you in the present and act. There is no future unless you make it happen. Tomorrow is only a promise. So, gather your thoughts, put them away and start working for a better tomorrow.
Are you skilled at art and craft?
Do it, create something beautiful and write about it on Hive and sell it offline or online.
Are you a good cook?
Make dishes and publicize them and you will get orders. You can create your own page on social media sites.
Are you adept in gardening?
You can offer services in outdoor gardening and landscaping.
Likewise, there are many such skills that you can make use of and earn a good amount of money. if you do not have a proper job, do not fret about it. Be your own boss.
Another factor about the given moment is to call and talk to your relatives and friends with whom you have had no contact for so many years. I mean only the dearest ones who still care. If you act now and call them, they will be genuinely happy and you can catch up. Life is filled with memories and you can still create them.
Never be stingy. You can be selfish to an extent in saving money for yourself but if you have excess, it can be used to help genuine causes and it will come back to you as grace during your times of need. You may not need money but you will need blessings, especially when in distress.
Making handmade gifts for your loved ones is better than buying them pricey stuff given just as a formality. So, use this moment and if you can, try making a small gift for your loved ones, of course, you do not need a reason to gift it to someone you love.
Oh, and did you think about gifting a small plant? It is a great idea and it implies growth and prosperity.
A small act of kindness can go a long way. Please consider donating a small amount to @neo-care
Neo Care is all about donating to the needy. Every txn is recorded on Hive and will be posted about with proof.

Absolutely loved this post, I really needed something like this. The past few months have been foggy, all the worries and troubles just keep on coming my way, which is why I lost track, and am not consistent anymore. I need to get back in form and start focusing on myself again, work on my faith, my growth, and skillset.
Thank you for this, dadi. 🖤
I've sent some Hive to neo-care. Good luck to Neo Care and its future endeavors. 🎆
Honestly, this is a great value to our youth today and I wish we utilize this opportunity presented to us, if so we have created a good future for ourselves.
It's indeed the giving season, I will think of a craft to make as a gift to someone. I have made some and blog about it in hive...neocare is a great initiative to support 👌
