Well, not because it already is depreciating... I never intended to sell it anyway. But because I never use it anymore to take pics that will give money to my pocket. Oh no.... kiss d... it can't be true! But it is. I am too unenthusiastic still... gone was my love for picture taking. Then I know where I went wrong.
My Active Incomes are:
1) My day Job as a graphic artist 2) Sculpting
3) Photography 4) Illustrating
5) Tutorials (Occasionally)
I never allowed myself to get a chance to rest. Art is something that should be made with much of my time and devotion... it's not something that should be finished in a rush. All of the activities I listed above involved artistic abilities, so naturally, I was drained because all of them needed much of my time and creativity. Graphic artist the whole week... photoshoots on weekends...and sculpting at night. I didn't know what I should focus on. Gosh... now I know why Michaelangelo wanted to live 300 years so that he could execute his ideas!!!
My passive income:
ZERO!!!!
I know I know.... that's why I won't buy a car (for financing) because that will only be a liability. It's a dead end money spent (I could borrow my brother's car... but then again, I don't know how to drive just yet... I don't have the time to study too!) A new camera perhaps?... I think not. That Canon Mark II 5D I was dying to buy... no more of that (for now). My Kiss D. will do. I need to work on new ventures... my aim is not only to accumulate money, but also to spare more time. I really need to save more time with the things that truly mattered. My family, friends... and everyone who I took for granted last year. I will be wiser now, for now I know that relationships with people are the most important thing in this life. I am a human being, not a money-making machine :P. With my trusted business mentors, I know I could pull this off. If I am wise with my finances, in due time, I will be worry-free and financially free. I can concentrate on my crafts... with or without pay. I will make all my artworks with passion, and not be bothered about money matters. I didn't want to feel useless, so for the time being, I need to work... but I can feel that it will be soon that I can get out of the mess I got myself into....
On a lighter note: I am happy that I have realized my mistakes in just 6 months of hard work and labor last year. It's a cliche I know. But what I must do for now is to focus. Focus first on my passive income until it equals to my day job salary. So excited! ^__^ Hello tomorrow!
