How can being an SFI affiliate change your life?
An interesting question: Before answering this question, I have to share a bit of my personal career.
I am a retired State Govt. Officer from the Province of Andhra Pradesh, India. As a Govt. Servant, I am accustomed to work at least 12 to 14 hours a day. After Superannuation, two or three Principle Secretaries from AP Secretariat offered me positions of Consultant. I worked there also. Since one year, I am not preoccupied with any constructive avocation. It has become a very big problem with me.. I started entertaining even negative thoughts!! Am I not to fit in the existing set up? Why am I not having a positively oriented, thought provoking and constructive assignment which gives me some monetary returns also? In case I want, can I not help others around me to assist them in their problems giving me some self satisfaction? These are some moot questions very frequently pestering me. I got this my way last October (1914)
Incidentally, I have interest in online Opportunities. I checked up at least 50 to 60 such opportunities even while I was working as consultant. But, I lost more than I gained both in monetary terms & in terms of material gains. I started trying this. Within a few weeks, I became accustomed to the ways of SFI, its Objectives, its modus operandi and its attitude towards the general/ordinary Affiliate. I liked and appreciated it all. The result is, now I come to stay with SFI & I will be with SFI in future. Now lets see what are the changes it brings out in the life of a common work minded person with an attitude to help but at the same he/she is ordinary middle-class person: Mind you these are the clientele of SFI (at least more than 90%)
1. It gives a meaningful life where you can work to your satisfaction, gain some money in purely ethical way.
2. It gives an opportunity to help/assist people around you who are less fortunate than you and are riddled more with problems.
3. You have constructive time pass without weaning away your time in less fruitful avocations like gossip, T.V, over eating and over-sleeping (for you have urgent-important items to attend!).
4. At the same time you have fun and brain-teasers in the form of games, auctions etc.,
5. A regularity to life and self satisfaction that you are leading a meaningful/purposeful life.
6. I have not gone to foreign countries, but I have an opportunity to interact, socialize lead and guide my friends abroad who have same problems as commoners anywhere in any society & what is significant is I am able ...am able to influence them and show them a way, as I do with my own people in my own country!! It is really great that I have such a privilege and I am able to do it with my heart & soul.
7.A discipline and punctuality which are both scarce commodities in the society now. I can quote example of visiting Affiliate Center. After being regular for 55 days, if one day I could not log in, All is Out & gone!! What to talk of 55 days? There are my Affiliate friends whom I came across in Forum, who lost the streak having been regular for 253 days or even more!! If you want to succeed, please have regularity/consistency, persuasion, punctuality & patience. Without teaching SFI teaches us & without forcing us it orients us gently!!
But this is all when one decides to be on the track not off the track in life & sensitive enough!!
