Sometimes, troubles weigh us down that we want to give up

Hello friends.

I have been inactive again for a few weeks. I got too busy at work. Also, I've been looking for additional ways to earn.

Sadly, my earnings from the articles I posted online are far from enough to cover my expenses.
Gone were the days, that one article could earn about $20 in tips. There was a time when I earned more than $200 in a month. That was once easily achieved in readcash. Some even earned more than that.

Ever since the Random Rewarder stopped dropping tips, however, my online earnings have dropped significantly.

I tried several other platforms, but I can hardly get $2 on the average for each post. Even HIVE, I can hardly earn $15 a month.

Full Time Teaching Job

Last year, I decided to take a full-time teaching job just to get a regular pay. However, it's not enough. And there are lots of paper works that I am not good at.

Sometimes, I thought of going back to my old IT administration job that I used to have. But I'm not happy there.

To say it bluntly, I feel I regret working as a full-timer again. I'm thinking of going back as a freelancer or start a business again. But I don't have the resources to do so. It's quite discouraging for me, so to speak.

Encouragement

Then when I opened my Bible App this morning, this is what I read.

"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong."
1 Corinthians 16:13

This inspired me to ask an AI to generate an image. This is what I got.

I guess, the message is, whatever I am going through right now, I have to stand firm in faith, for this soon will pass.

We need to be always optimistic in this hard time so that our thinking won't be clouded and will just suddenly decide to stop because we already lose hope. I had times like this, it's hard pero, sige pa rin, no choice eh, we can only have more choices if we continue to move forward.

I can relate to this. Back in my younger days, before I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I worked a full time job, and had a dozen side jobs; mowing, raking leaves, and weed eating. I would literally put the toilet lid down... Set my plate on it, and take bites of food inbetween showering for my full time job. A full time job, where I was contaminated with a chemical degreaser called TCE.. Or Trichloroethylene... So now I've got a multitude of serious health issues. Fast forward... I'm on Disability, but that's barely enough to get by. However... I remain positive, because really... What else can we do?

What's my point? Well... that MS Diagnosis, was back in 2016. I'm still here to tell my story, and to help be that positive beacon of light. As you stated in the end of your post; this will soon pass. Now then... I would ask you to check out our guidelines from the following link: https://peakd.com/c/hive-109288/about. Please share with us, which AI site you've used. That way, you've properly sourced your image...

Oh wow! Your story indeed is proof that no matter what we are going through. Indeed your story serves as a beacon of light. Thanks for sharing that.

As for the AI. I thought I added it when I created my draft. I must have accidentally deleted it when I edited the article. This one is created using Ideogram.AI. I'll edit the post to add this as well.

Thanks for the reminder.

Aww. double apologies.
In this post, I just realized, I actually forgot to credit the AI and the app that I used. :D
