About It's Time
This is our advocacy - to bring our dreams into fruition by acting today, firmly believing that small measures we take early, regularly and deliberately will build up and exceed more than the results we desire. It's time!
Every Filipino dreams of being healthy, wealthy and happy. But not many of us are able to translate these dreams into realities. Not for ourselves and sometimes, not for our families. Typically, we put the blame on everything else external - bad luck, sad fate, questionable governance and leadership.
Rarely do we consider our roles in the scheme of these things even when clearly, we are the architects of our own future.
Perhaps it's because we take time for granted.
We feel no urgency in looking after our health, our finances, our future and the state in which we will leave our families in case of disability or death. We hide behind excuses to justify:
- Living beyond our budget
- Missing the regular deposit or investment or our inability to save and invest regularly
- Deferring the purchase of a life insurance policy
- Leaving the education of our children to chances, and
- Allowing our debts to dominate our financial concerns.
It's time to end the vicious cycle of complacency followed by regret and disappointment.
It's time we played active roles in safeguarding our financial and economic well-being.
Because to not do so, is to endanger and risk our right to live a decent and a comfortable life.
