Flying, flying, flying!
Flying, Flying, Flying!
"It's funny when you develop a passion for something. First you admire, wondering what it would be like. Then you start by gathering information on the subject, fixate on the unknown.
We then start planning our move and wait for the right time to enter the game, or we simply just take a gamble, overthrown by our passions and reach for the skies"
In my case I have been fixated on flying since the age of 2. My first words as a child was 'look yet' not mom or dad, too bad.
Growing up not having the finances was a bit of a drawback. Also, we don't have cadet programs within the military in my country. Soon we all become grownups with only one thing in mind getting a job so we can support ourselves and our families, putting dreams aside.
I started out in the agricultural area, working very hard to just get a small buck and be able to survive the month. As time passed I got promoted and started working for a firm that is super unique in it what they do. Being in a better financial position can sometimes be overwhelming, some people feel like it's now a good time to settle or have a baby. In my case I decided to aim for the skies and just live my life fulfilling my dreams.
It's true what they. 'Welcome to aviation, you are now broke. Ever since 2017 I have been paying of loans, struggling month to month. Having great amounts of debt can sometimes take the fun out of things, but due to passion and vision I have been able to continue. What a cycle!
I now have received another promotion and I took out another loan. 'My goodness William when will you learn'. Now we have the money but due to the fact that I am always working, and have to continue to work to pay my monthly loan payment, time to fly is becoming a factor.
About a month ago I started doing research online just to figure out a way to generate more income in my off time. I stumbled on WA. At first, I thought oh no, this must be another money making scam. Due to the fact that it was free in the beginning I decided to test the waters. I will just say it like this. If it were not for this great community and the training platform I would have not had gone premium.
At this moment in time I have achieved the goal of building a website and having some of my pages indexed in google. It's a superb feeling! Just being able to share this blog page with you makes me feel happy. The money is important but the fact of knowing you have created something you can be proud of gives me an even greater satisfaction.
The future can be scary. We simply don't know what will happen, but if we continue to fight and aim for set goals, work hard, I believe some sort of success will be reached.
My goals for the next few months will simply be to create super content on my website and completing the WA training. I will also be flying! Making friends within the WA community will also be one of my goals.
Remember we are never too poor, unintelligent, disabled, old or what ever reason we might have that keeps us from success and aiming for our dreams.
- Simply believe, and you're halfway there.
- Where there is a will, there is a way.
- It only seems impossible until it's done
These slogans forces me to keep going.
May your dreams become your reality.
Cheers

What a wonderful post! I suddenly felt I could fly as well. Your writing makes one want to follow the dream we all had when we started WA. Thank you for the reminder that all things are possible as long as we don't give up!
Yay Us Indeed!! 🌟

Well said William! It's great here at WA. Keep working away and doing as much training and research as you have time for and you will succeed. That does seem to be the trend here. There's a lot of people here who are putting in the time and effort and seeing results. It's early days for me but like you said, it's great to see your own little website grow.
Keep going man! Great photo by the way!
Hi Chris
Thank you for the wonderful feedback. Yes, people become successful every day in life. Let's be part of the statistics.
All the best for you
William
Don't spend all your time flying. You need to be generating income via WA to pay off the loans that eat up all your money,

You are one of 'Those magnificent men in their flying machines" Having the mindset you have I think it will only be a matter of 'when' rather than 'if' you succeed. Outstanding.

"Flyin', high and Soaring with Eagles"!
Another, WA inspiration! Goals, fuel the engine!
My piloting , experience, was one afternoon! I was amazed at the lack of traction!!
I signed for, the PASSED, all areas of " The Air Traffic Controllers Exam", back in the 80's, during the strike! Didn't use it, but stretched the limits, for the challenge!
Fun, reminders, William!
