My "Bakit List"



If there’s a “Bucket List” – a list of things we want to do during our lifetime (before we kick the bucket), I figured that I could have my “Bakit List” – the list of reasons why I want to be rich and wealthy or my purpose for money.

1.Treat my parents to a European tour

2.Treat my whole family to vacations in the Philippines and abroad (I have 7 siblings so this would require more funds, =)

3.Support more local missionaries.

4.Build learning and resource centers for kids that would provide free quality education (especially in Mindanao and other provinces)

5.Give out scholarship grants to poor but deserving students

6.Buy my own beach house (I love the ocean!)

7.Have my own beach resort.

8.Return to playing archery. I want to have my own shooting range and train archers who will compete in the Olympics.

9.Spend more quality time with my future family.

10.Contribute to a First-World Philippines.

Most of the time, we don’t get what we want because we don’t even know why we want it in the first place! So acquiring it becomes a difficult task for us. As Jim Rohn said, “The bigger the why, the easier the how.”

Take a few minutes and think about the things that you really want or your life goals. Now get a pen and paper and start writing them down. Then make your own “Bakit List” and list down the reasons why you want to have these things. Once you have it all down, map out an execution plan (with a mentor or a mastermind group. If you don't have one, find one!) and turn these into reality!
