five years ago. I can say I'm mr. lucky. I have a beautiful GF. I have a good job. I have a good life. Although I'm not that rich but I'm happy and contented. Now. I have no job for five years. I'm broke and have lots of debt. My ex has now a baby and I have no one to share my problem right now. I really don't understand why I turn out this one. One bad luck after another. I open many business and all fails. My gf can't wait any longer so she found another bf and now they have a baby. I almost have 1 million in my bank account but that's all is gone now from one business failure to another.. .. five years ago I go out to hong kong, singapore than macua. Now for many months I'm only in my room (and I'm living in my sister house). The farest that I go is only on our compound gate. I don't have any money and if I earn its goes to pay my debt in the banks. what a pity of me.

That is so heartbreaking my friend. Everything has lost including your money and your love. I know God must have a reason why he did this to you. Look at you now, still standing and strong. I know you will be able to surpass this. Just don't do any bad thing. Keep in your mind those successful days of yours and be positive always.

No my friend. I'm barely standing and I'm not strong, even a breeze can make me fall down. Its a struggle but five years no matter how strong your hope. It really don't last. Because one badnews after another. that's all that come to me. I'm thinking and I believe in seven years rich and seven years poor. I hope after two years I be rich again.

I hope so. But its seems every time I make one step forward I slide two step backward. lols. my six years laptop suddenly give way and I bought another new laptop. I have no choice since this is only my source of income. Now I have an 18 month installment to pay that I don't know if I can pay at all as my earnings online is only have of my monthly dues.

You will be my friend. Don't give up and don't lose hope. Strive hard for you to be able to achieve those things you have achieved five years ago. I too strongly believe in that.

Wow, that's a complete meltdown. Well, as they say, you can always stay down on the ground, or you can stand up and keep moving, it's your choice. If you're going to let the past affect your present and your future, that's one great loss you're setting yourself up into.

If I fall down on the ground I can surely stand up again. Problem is that I just don't fall down on the ground. I'm in the sink hole right now. A sink hole and a quicksand that slowly I'm sinking and the more I struggle the more I sink. Right now I can't do anything no rope to hang on. Nothing. only waiting to sink in bottomless quicksand. Unless theirs some divine miracle that will going to rescue me and help me stand up again. Because I really don't think I can right now.

I am so sorry to hear you having such a rough time. Life is full of twisted surprises and it sounds like you have had far more than your share. I hope that things start to look up for you soon. You just need some time to get your strength back. Take care.

Thanks, Anyway I don't need time to get my strength back. In fact I don't have time for that either. lols. What I need is a job or anything that make me start to earn and be financially stable again. That's all what I need right now. Financial stability and I can start from their.

I really feel sad when I have read your post. That, there was a time in my life, I have told that line to myself, "how I wish I could turn back the time." That, it was only last year when I have had my resignation to my job. That due to a career redirection that leads me to resign. But, apparently, the long time plan was not not pursue anymore. That, those people who are involved in the plan, slowly turn their back. That, the moral support I am looking for was not there anymore. Due to those reasons, I keep on telling myself, wish I could turn back again to the time when I was working. Thus, I am also asking myself, why I haven't seen those indications before. Until one day, God help me to realize, I was already in this situation, so I must face the challenge and consequence. That, God help me think, nothing will happen if I will continue to dwell on the past. Hence, He told me thru my dreams that, I must trust Him and to let Him guide me to walk again towards my life. So I have done that thing. Aside from that, God talks to me in a lot more different ways. Wherein, there is one article in a magazine, that, it is not my intention to read but it is bizarre that I have open the page and have read the whole article content. Indeed, things happen amazingly. That I cannot really explain why and how it happens. Thus God is truly alive and He speaks thru situations that I am encountering day by day. He send His words from TV shows, friends, and even the posting that I read over those social networking sites where I am connected. At first, I just think, it is just coincidence but, it is happening very timely. That, God speaks to me saying, "His love for me is so big that it can surpass any challenges, any trials and any doubts that I am facing. He just want me to put all my trust to Him. Now, although I am not totally healed from the past memories, but, I can say to myself, that I am better now rather than before. Dwell your memories to God, for sure, He will guide you to find the light of your life. May God be with you.

Yeah. Its all started when I tried to pursue a dream. I become aggressive. I don't want to have a office job anymore. I want to be my own boss and I open a business and one business after another fails and one problem let to another now make me loss money and confidence.

Maybe she found someone who believe in Jesus and she can't stand anyone who do not? It reminds me that you have to be religious to get anything in life. Anyway, life goes on.

Same problem also. Actually half my my money just goes to friend charity. Problem is that its seems my charity is not well appreciated and the worse is that now that they are more financially stable than me its hard to make a communication with them. While before my doors are open to them when they need me. And sometimes even offer help without them asking me.

Life is full of surprises and here you are with a complete turn around of your world. Frankly speaking I do not want to be in your place. I do hope you are not so depress for the big changes in your life. I also wish that time would turn back and you did that risk everything for your business. You know that putting up a business is a risk, you can either win and lost especially if you are a neophyte and is not a patient man. If you ever earn money save it until you have paid your debts and start over again. Be an employee if it will give you a stable income and save. The person who succeed, the person who continues to fight and never give up. Do not think of yourself as a pitiful person. Make the downfalls in your life your driving force, your motivation to stand up be resourceful in making money. But I have to warn you, only gamble what you can afford to lose. It is better to have a small growing business with a small steady income than a big one that is bound to fail.

To be honest. I'm totally depress. Just imagine that what ever earning I earn in a month today is my daily expenses when I still have good source of income? I pity myself because before I buy expensive things that I don't even need. Now even a cheap things that I really need I still can't afford to buy it.
