Lessons I Learned from My Daughter's Visit; Migration, Relationships, Money Etc.

My daughter left North Carolina today for the Philippines. Her training is already finished.

My kids and I are living in 2 different countries.

I can see how the need to survive make us migrate to another country.

These are 3 main reasons why people migrate:

1. To get better work
2. To get better relationships
3. To get better education

All the above leads to more money for the individual planning to migrate.

Migration = money

This is true when one migrates from a third world country to another country which offer more opportunities or better chances for survival.

After we migrate, we work hard to earn money. But, during old age, our body is already frail and we experience more joint pain so it is difficult to enjoy ourselves.

People in third world countries look for relationships in other countries outside of their own for the same reason they look for work. In their eyes, this will guarantee survival especially if the man/woman they will have a relationship with has a steady income or stable business.

Education is being sought after also because this can give one a job that pays more money.

If we have money coming to our bank account every month even when we do not work, that will pay for our basic necessities to survive, and on top of that if we have some more money coming for working jobs we enjoy doing, that will change the way we do things.

How will our work choices change?
How will our relationship choices change?
How will our education choices change?

Can we choose to take on jobs we really love to do?
Can we choose to be in relationships that assist us to grow and express ourselves more?
Can we choose to educate ourselves about subjects that make us learn more about ourselves?

I am sure there will be lots of changes for the better if we have guaranteed survival for all - from birth 'till death in the form of a living income and we have means to get the basic necessities to survive.
