Looking forward

I have no work for the third day this week. It's another stretch of vacation when just a week ago I spent a weekend on top of a mountain, then the week after that, I spent the long weekend on a great venue called tagaytay.

Now I have another long weekend.

What's sad about our profession though is that if you cancelled sessions, it meant you cancelled your pay. No work, no pay. regardless of reasons, unlike in some businesses, wherein you are entitled to sick leaves with pay or absence with pay, our profession is really lenient enough to allow you to be absent but don't expect any payment.

Because of this, lots of questions popped on my head. How long would I live like this? What else can I do to have steady flow of income and still do what I want to do?

I am not business minded and most of the people who try to give suggestions offer multi-level network businesses which I don't really like (remember the PONZI scheme). Now I am at a loss as to what business or sustainable activity I would do...

If you're striving for petty things, how then could you reach higher, far better things?"
