Reserved for security

The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability."
-- Henry Ford, carmaker

When I was little, I often hear people saying that to have a good life is to have plenty of money and buy everything you want.

Now that I am grown up , this is not true. Some people have all kinds of money , nice house, expensive cars yet when I hear them talk, I feel emptiness in their hearts. Why, because the missed the most important part of having a good life. That is knowledge, experience and ability which I consider personality development. Knowledge doesn't necessarily mean EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, though people who have educational attainment has competitive edge to be successful. However, as I mature I found out that there are a lot of people who have been very happy, satisfied, and enjoying life to the fullest by simply mastering personality development.

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...

My high school friend Lourdes email this to me.

Here it goes. Read every line and you will absolutely enjoy, learn and will change your thinking.


A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again. A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a highfire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs,and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed themin a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.''Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water.Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its insidebecame hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.'

Which are you?' she asked her daughter.

'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?

Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

Think of this: Which am I?

Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough witha stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstancethat brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity?

Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Dicipline

Discipline is doing what you need to do whether you feel like doing it or not. It is the time to lead oneself to do the right thing at the right time. This is where we remind ourselves of our goals so we can stay focus without feeling guilty.

Discipline requires courage and determination to hold on to our affirmation. No one can discipline oneself except when you made a decision to be disciplined

It is very challenging however once a decision is made, determination follows to make discipline a habit. Start today with small action and you will create a huge positive change in your life.

Design your life

"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's. And guess what they might have planned for you? Not much."
-- Jim Rohn, Motivational Speaker

Design your life. You are on the driver's seat. Plan your trip. Where do you want to go. Follow whatever your heart desire to get where you want. If you don't someone will do it for you. Will you be in control of your trip or would you like others to control your life. If you design your life it will be on in frequency of what you want and not in frequency with what others want your life to be.

Make a decision. Start designing your life now and create positive change in the direction of your life.

Clarity of purpose

There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to achieve it. By Napoleon Hill.

Do you believe you can do it

"I don't think anything is unrealistic if you believe you can do it."

How to get what you want

See the things you want as already yours…Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, As already in your possession.”— Robert Collier

Think , see and feel everyday until it becomes second nature. Once the feeling is so tight it will go into the frequency of your action to manifest what you want.

What do you say when the challenge gets painful

What do you say when the challenge gets painful.

do you say it is difficult but i will make it or i can't make it, it is difficult.

It is difficult but I will make it. When challenge is too painful, that is a sign that the challenge is about to end. Don't quit. Stay and stay focus. Concentrate on your goals. Remember your WHY"S, why in the first place you get started. Fed your mind with successful people who had been in through same challenges as you are. You are just an inch away to your goal.

However, most of the time people quit when they are in pain. No wonder very few people became rich and successful.

Make a decision, start small action daily. Set your your mind that you will accept and embrace challenge as part of the process to end up creating huge positive change by starting small.

which is valuable, tangible or intangible assets

Asset is something that has value. We have two kinds of asset: the tangible and the intangible. Tangible assets are things that you see like cash, car , house. These are items like cash, that if someone grab it from you, you lost possession to it. Intangible asset are assets that no one can take it away from you. These are your personal characteristics inside and outside our body like beautiful, education, integrity, honestly, good morals. Intangible assets are values that you can not buy anywhere. These are values that you learned and practice overtime. The more you learn the more you increased your values.

I personally invest in education and personality development. I strongly believe I can afford to lose all the tangibles but never my intangibles like integrity, honesty, discipline because once my value as a person is high enough, tangibles like cash, car and property will just come easily and effortlessly.

The need to Lead

The Need to Lead
Posted by Brian Tracy on Aug 5, 2009

The greatest need we have today, in every area, is for men and women to practice the values of integrity, discipline, responsibility, courage, and long time perspective, both as individuals and in their families. These are the key qualities of leadership.
Our society needs leaders at all levels who practice the principles that lead to long term-success. Especially, we need people in positions of authority and political power to support and encourage others, whose lives and work they influence, to develop character and resist the tendency to act expediently in ways that are harmful to themselves and others.
Everyone needs to take “The Values Pledge” to live by it and then encourage others to live by it. It is only the solid bulwark of character, based on values, virtues, long-term thinking and the accurate assessment of secondary consequences that can curb and mitigate the destructive influences and behavior of the E-Factor.

what do you say when you make mistake

What do you say when you make mistake?


Do you say,

” I was wrong”

or

”It wasn’t my fault.”

When you say I WAS WRONG, that means you are taking responsibility. Taking responsibility means you humbly receive the opportunity to learn and take action to make it work and get better. You are receiving a seed of greatness that will bear great fruit. Great fruit that will give you reason to CELEBRATE.

When you say IT WASN'T MY FAULT. that means you are refusing your opportunity to learn to get better. Refusing to change to get better will give you same result that would lead you to disappointments and frustration, Then you end up blaming and complaining because you feel you are a VICTIM.

So, will you take responsibility and end up celebrating or run away and be a victim ?

It may be hard but I tell you if you start small today, you will create huge positive change.

Do you make a choice or take chance

"Choice, not chance, determines human destiny."
-- Robert W. Ellis

Choice is within our control. Chance is letting circumstances control us. We only have two choices, that is to determine our human destiny to get what we want or take chances .

I choose to control the direction of my destiny. I will design and dictate to the universe what I want. So that my thoughts and action will be on the frequency of my destiny.

If you take chances, chances you will lose control unless you are very lucky. So far there is no such thing as luck unless you make a choice to be lucky.

Now is the time to make a choice. Once you make a choice start small action to determine your destiny by starting small, one step at a time.

Law of Attraction - BElieve

Believe.

Do you believe in yourself? What are your beliefs. Are your belief in congruent with what you want?

Believe that you will achieve and you will? Why is that? Your belief will motivate you to get started and keep moving towards the realization of your goal.. You will feel you are always awake even if your body is sleepy. And when you sleep, you can't wait until you get up in the morning.

Believe and you will achieve.

Test Your Power: Start Small

Are you aware how powerful you are? Do you know you can move mountains? Do you?

We all do. If you are doubting, test your power. Start small. How?

If you are driving and wanting to get ahead, start focusing your mind and think that the car in front of you will give way, will move faster or change lane. As you master using your power you will be surprise that cars in front of you will keep moving to clear your way.

The more you do it, you get better and will have fun driving getting to your destination on time with ease. No pressure, no rushing.

Bernadette Velasquez

Law of Attraction - Clarity

Clarity.

To attract what you want. you must be clear on what you want.

Let us say, you are in a restaurant and you ordered chicken. Then suddenly you changed your mind, so you changed your order to pork. Then when the pork is about to be served you changed your mind and you want beef. If you are the chef how would you response to the person placing an order.

If you are not clear on what you ask , it would take longer to attract what you want or chances are you won't get it. That is why people said the law of attraction is not working for me but it is working against me.

Would you like the law of attraction to work towards you or against you?

Bernadette Velasquez

Law of Attraction- Gratitude

Gratitude.

The magic word. Thank you.

Two simple words yet so powerful. How do you feel when you do a favor to someone and comes back and say Thank you to you ? It is awesome, isn't it? The best part of it is that, you feel like giving more everything and anything in my power.

What about it you were ignored and comes back for another favor. Do you feel excited to do another favor? Will you still give another favor? If you do, will you still be willing to give to the maximum?

Law of attraction means you will attract anything and everything you want if you know how to appreciate every little details that you received and you will continually attract what we want by simply saying Thank you from the heart.

Having said that. Thank you so much for reading my blog.

Forgiveness - releasing burden

Do you have challenges forgiving someone? How does it feel?

To forgive someone is like releasing all the heavy loads you've been carrying for some time that doesn't serve you.

Imagine yourself carrying a bagpack with heavy rocks on it everyday with the intention of throwing those rocks to the person who hurt you. Do you see yourself relax and free from moving to and from any direction you want? Absolutely not because that bag pack of rock controls you from moving freely?

So if you keep the pain, you are limiting yourself from enjoying life to the fullest. Forgive, let go, release those heavy loads of rocks and you will have an enjoyable journey of life.

The individual human being

The information we gather everyday determines our personality. We used our sense to see pictures, hear sounds, we touch things , feel our love ones and taste variety of foods. Every emotions, idea and activity are recorded and printed in our mind . So who we are today is the the result of accumulated information and experiences we gathered through the year. And that is what we call the individual human being.

Do you know who you are as in individual human being? What have you gathered over the years? Are they working for you or against you? NOW is the time to make an inventory of your strengths and weaknesses. You may be surprised a new and better idea will instantly pop up. You may feel that an amazing opportunity has been knocking on you. You may see pictures of change that would guide to the your dreams.

The Will

“The will to succeed is important, but what's even more important is the will to prepare”

Success will come if you have the willingness to do what ever it takes. The starting point is the preparation, the plan of action and what action to make to get to your destination.

Right now what is it that you want to achieve. To achieve what you want , what small steps do you do to make it happen. Often time it is hard but if you have the will to start, there will always a way. You can start small and along the way you will find a way to get there. What is important is the will to start right NOW.

What is your will for today

Law of Attraction part 11

Law of Attraction does not respond to your thoughts - it responds to how you feel about your thoughts.

You can think about it, wish for it, pray for it and visualize receiving a million dollars till you're blue in the face, but if deep inside your true feelings are that you don't really believe that it will happen - it wont happened .

If you do not feel wonderful most of the time, the Law of Attraction will deliver things, people, experiences that makes you feel not wonderful -most of the time.

So, do you think the law of attraction is working to you?

Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction by Ester and Jerry Hicks


The author Ester and Jerry define Law of Attraction as a universal law that works on simple principle.

What is that principle?

That is , Like attracts like, what you focus on expands. If you put a lot of focus on something you want, you will attract. If you put a lot of focus on something you do not want (like being broke) you will attract it.

My understanding on their definition is . What you say is EXACTLY who and what you are.

So if you say you are poor, then you are. Because you said you are poor. You are then comfortable justifying your situation by whining and complaining.

However if you say you are rich, then you really are because when you say you are rich, you feel good, happy excited, that you can no longer wait for tomorrow to begin your steps to make it happen. That excitement will ignite you to do whatever it takes to attract angels, events, ideals, mentor, people, resources to assist you to your journey to the ocean of unlimited abundance and prosperity.

Can you share what you understand with the simple definition of the law of attraction?

Do you have rules to live by? What is it? Want to learn ?

Rules to live by
Posted: 14 Jul 2009 11:57 PM PDT

Rules
Rules for being human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life on planet earth. Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. “Failures” are as much a part of the process as “success.”

4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it–then you can go on to the next lesson.

5. If you don’t learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.

6. You will know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.

7. “There” is no better than “here.” When your “there” becomes a “here” you will simply obtain another “there” that again looks better than “here.”

8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.

9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas: you do the painting. Take charge of your life–or someone else will.

10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract–therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.

11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn’t help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.

12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others: as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow

Hello,

The Author, Edwin C. Bliss said,

YESTERDAY is a canceled check: FORGET IT. TOMORROW is a promissory note: DON"T count on it. TODAY is ready CASH: USE IT.

What do you understand by that?

Simple.

Yesterday is done. Don't spend your energy going back for it will never come back. Delete it so you can create space to welcome today. TODAY is the best time to use your resources otherwise you will lose it. Enjoy it while you have it. Concentrate on the NOW. Now is the best time and the only time to enjoy life. Don't save it for tomorrow for tomorrow will be another day.

See you tomorrow.

Live in the present

Hello,

When one door of happiness closes, another opens: but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened to us. By Helen Keller.

Helen Keller is saying that when one door closes, it signals that the universe has upgraded your door of happiness. All we need to do is to jump in. However most of the time we don't it. We do not appreciate because we refuse to get out of our comfort zone.

Let us embrace change, trust, move forward, live in the present and we will discover a new level of experience. A new door always brings opportunity to grow and new level of happiness and experience.

Do you have an experience that brings you opportunity in life.

How do you differentiate passion from obsession?

Hello,

Here is Giovanna Garcia's article on Passion or obsession .

Have fun . Here it is .


Passion or Obsession?
Posted: 10 Jul 2009 11:50 PM PDT


Passion or Obession
Passion is one of the most important keys to success in any arena of life. When you have passion in your life you wake up excited about your day. You make the right decisions, you get more done in less time, and things flow for you. If you harness your passion, people will believe in you, trust in you, and want to support you. No greatness can happen without a person’s passion behind it. But what exactly is passion?

Passion is a love of something. It is a strong feeling of desire to achieve something. In a way, it is almost like an obsession. It guides your thinking, it dictates your logic, it motivates you, it propels you to continuously take action. You can’t put your passion down, you can’t wait to get up in the morning and pursue it. You can never get enough of it, and you would do it whether you got paid or not. It’s that special something…

That special something can’t be a material object, though. That’s the difference between passion and an unhealthy obsession. Passion is based around a goal, an internalized goal, a core value. When you participate in your passion, it gives you a sense of achievement and accomplishment.

An obsession is just wanting something really badly. For example, wanting the newest and hottest fashion items so badly that it dominates your thinking and dictates your actions is not about passion. If getting new shoes and handbags and outfits drives you and motivates you in your everyday actions, you are obsessed and that’s not good. On the other hand, loving fashion and wanting to do whatever you can to be around it, whether it be designing clothes, blogging about the newest products, starting your own retail outlet, or anything else: that is a passion. It’s a subtle difference, but an important one.

Your passion can’t be a desire for an object. It has to based around an internal goal, and it has to be something you determine for yourself. You shouldn’t “adopt” a passion because it’s trendy and popular. Your passion needs to be something that you genuinely feel strongly about. When you find and harness that genuine passion, you’ll have the drive to continuously pursue it, you’ll have the determination and the tenacity to forge on, and you will find a way to succeed because your motivation will push you toward your goals.

Passion is the underlying power beneath everything you do. Without it, you cannot find true success.

Can you sell like Willie Revillame

Hello,

What can you say about Willie Revillame? Is he amazing.

Have you heard him sing? Do you agree with Rico J. Puno?

Well, as a Filipino like Willie, I have watched him grow. People buy his purpose and not the CD..... WHY IS THAT? When Willie sings, he sings what his heart desires. He is not singing to make money but he is singing to reach out. He wants to share the gift he has by making you happy.. He is very CLEAR with his PURPOSE. Willie knows that his PURPOSE on earth is to make you and every people in the WORLD live happy no matter what, where or who you are.

Anything that we do if it came from our heart, no one could discount it. Instead, the receiving heart will add value because the heart feel it, like it, enjoy it and will always forever continue to receive.

So, how about you, what is your purpose?

Bernadette

Why do people buy Willie Revillame CD?

Do you know Willie Revillame?

He is a TV host in the show WOWOWEE shown daily Monday to Saturday on The Filipino Channel ABS CBN. The show is shown in different countries being viewed by mostly Filipinos in the whole world.

He is very interesting in the sense that, his CD entitled Giling Giling and the latest CD Ikaw na nga rated no I is one of the hottest Cd in the market. Again, I repeat no one and continuously receiving Platinum Awards on the sale of his CD

Rico J. Puno, who is a real great and highly respected singer of all time often teased Willie Revillame in his show saying. I do not understand why people buy your CD. Are those people don't have a taste? Or are you a ghost singer?

Well whatever Rico J. Puno said, he ended up saying. I salute you my friend, people don't care how you sing, they don't listen to your voice, they buy your CD because they listen to your heart because people LOVE you.

Can you sell because people LOVE you. Tell me what you think.

Perfect Leader

Hello,

Did you have the chance to read Giovanna's true story yesterday?

I first met Giovanna in Simi Valley in California during the Ellie Drake infomercial seminar in September 2008. The first time I saw her I was inspired with her philosophy of IMPERFECT ACTION IS BETTER THAN NO ACTION. I personally say she is a perfect person and a perfect leader. I say that because everyone makes mistakes no matter how good you are and no matter how hard we try. Then when we make mistakes we bet ourselves up. Then we get scarred top try again. When we refused to try again. we closing our opportunities to the unlimited abundance and prosperity that the universe is giving to us.

When I met her and saw on the stage, I was so impressed that I didn't took my eyes off from her. I watched all her movement, the way she talked and even when she was dancing during break. At that time, I realized I am not the worse as I think I was. I am just a perfect imperfect person who has all the right to live freely. I can do whatever I want without worrying if I am doing the perfect action or not. My imperfect action will lead me to where I want to be.

So now all I need to do is to keep moving towards my goals. It doesn't matter if it is the right action what matters is I am doing the action every single day. In every wrong action , there is always the clue to move to the right action.

With this, I would like to say THANK YOU GIOVANNA . To learn more about her, visit her at imperfectaction.com

A true story about an Angel in Uniform.
Posted: 06 Jul 2009 11:38 PM PDT

Angel in Uniform
This is a family story my father told me about his mother, my grandmother. In 1949, my father had just returned home from the war. On every American highway you could see the soldiers in uniform hitchhiking home to their families, as was the custom at that time in America. Sadly, the thrill of his reunion with his family was soon overshadowed.
My grandmother became very ill and had to be hospitalized. It was her kidneys, and the doctors told my father that she needed a blood transfusion immediately or she would not live through the night. The problem was that Grandmother’s blood type was AB-, a very rare type even today, but even harder to get then because there were no blood banks or air flights to ship blood.
All the family members were typed, but not one member was a match. So the doctors gave the family no hope; my grandmother was dying. My father left the hospital in tears to gather up all the family members, so that everyone would get a chance to tell Grandmother Good-bye.
As my father was driving down the highway, he passed a soldier in uniform hitchhiking home to his family. Deep in grief, my father had no inclination at that moment to do a good deed. Yet it was almost as if something outside himself pulled him to a stop, and he waited as the stranger climbed into the car.
My father was too upset to even ask the soldier his name, but the soldier noticed my father’s tears right away and inquired about them. Through his tears, my father told this stranger that his mother was lying in a hospital dying because the doctors had been unable to locate her blood type, AB-, and if they did not locate her blood type before nightfall, she would surely die.
It got very quiet in the car. Then this unidentified soldier extended his hand out to my father, palm up. Resting in the palm of his hand were the dog tags from around his neck. The blood type on the tags was AB-. The soldier told my father to turn the car around and get him to the hospital.
My grandmother lived until 1996, 47 years later, and to this day no one in the family knows this soldier’s name. But my father has often wondered, was he a soldier or an angel in uniform?

Offer with Pride

Hello,

Jeff Miller didn't mind if Rafael Roxas keep rejecting him. It didn't bother him. He never felt offended. He is aware that every time RAfael Roxas said NO to him RAfael Roxas is rejecting to the UNLIMITED WEALTH he has been looking for over the years.

Jeff Miller never felt he is being turned down because he is VERY confident that he is offering a business opportunity that could make anyone RICH just like Rafael Roxas

Jeff Miller offered his Melaleuca business with PRIDE until Rafael Roxas ended up joining his Business Melaleuca.

Today, Rafael Roxas can now say I AM RICH. THANK YOU MELALEUCA.

See you tomorrow.

Dont give up

Hello,

I admire Jeff Miller who consistently and kept calling Rafael Roxas offering his Company Melaleuca. Rafael Roxas rejected Jeff several times until he asked him to Stop calling and leave him alone. Yet in the end Rafael Roxas ended up Joining Melaleuca. Today Rafael Roxas is so thankful to Jeff Miller.

Jeff Miller helped Rafael Roxas life including the whole family. In Rafael Roxas CD release June 2009 he mentioned her mother is now living a life by design. His mom now own a nice house, a nice car and has money in the bank.

If Jeff give up on Rafael Roxas, maybe he is still out there working hard and broke.

What do you think?

One more time

Hello,

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time

By: Thomas Edison, 1847-1931Inventor and Entrepreneur.


Rafael Roxas, featured in Melaleuca Leadership in Action magazine June 2009 ranked # one again in the executive leadership. I have been reading and following up articles about him. His story is he has been in different business for almost 20 years like the age of Melaleuca. While he was on different business , Jeff Miller, the person who introduced Melaleuca to him called him almost every six offering Melaleuca to him but he kept rejecting him until Rafael get tired of Jeff Miller and said. Will you please stop calling me. Please leave me alone. However, Rafael was still not getting success in his previous Company, so he said I'm DONE. That is it. No more business.

Until one day he found himself calling Jeff Miller to give himself One more time. And at last he found the perfect business in Melaleuca. And now he is very successful and now enjoying the life he had been dreaming. And that is because he TRY ONE MORE TIME.

Rafael Roxas is such a huge INSPIRATION to me.

Till next time

Hello,

"Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret."

Do everything in you power to appreciate everyone who deserves your appreciation. You could make a huge positive change to them. Who knows they have been long waiting for you.

What do you do for a living?

Hello,

What do you do for a living? How long you been doing that? How much you make? Are you worth what you make.

I work as a Collection Representative. I do the job because I need money and that was the only choice I had at that time I need a job . They pay is great. I don't like it and I hate it . But that was yesterday. Because today, I grow and matured in this job with values worth more than a million.

Why is that? I talk to less than a hundred people everyday for 8 hrs. This people has different personality wherein I see myself in them. The more I see myself in other people, the more I am aware to make a decision to change for the good. The money I received for doing the job is Great but the values I learned from this job is worth millions.

Do you see values in your job.

Mistakes your guide to success

Hello,

People make mistakes. That is okay as long as you don't intentionally did it. Mistakes are indication that there is room for improvement. The more you make mistakes the more you learn, the more you learn the closer you are to achieve your goal.

Feel free to do what you want and not worry with the outcome. As Michael Jordan said. "JUST DO IT" Do you know that he failed before he become famous. What if he quit along the way. do you think there will be Michael Jordan today?

So let us enjoy life. Let go of the stress. Be happy and comfortable finding your purpose.

Be not afraid, Have faith

Hello,

Today is Sunday. We went to the church.

Our visiting priests today is Dante Lumabas from the Philippines.

His homily is about Faith. Do not be afraid. If you are afraid you are limiting yourself to enjoy amazing miracles in life. You are missing the joy and reward of doing the unknown.

He shared his experience in Poland wherein he was asked to deliver a homily. People don't understand English . He does his homily to whatever little he knows about their language. And with the help of an interpreter he finished his homily in 5 minutes. After the homily he was surprised that people stood up and gave him a warm applause. He further hear people telling how good he was. That happened because he trust in god. He do what he was asked and put his faith. Obviously, God was with him when he stood up in front without knowing what to say.

Release your fear and enjoy life. Trust in the process.

Till next time,

Bernadette

Breathe, RELAX

Breathe, relax.

Quick and easy. Breathe and ejoy life. Do you know that a second to breath would quickly shift the direction of one's feelings. You may not notice it but it creates a better outlook.

What is happening around us doesn't matter. We can not change where and what we have but we can change everything around us in a second if we want to. WHY IS THAT? To begin with, breathe. Then RELAX, take it easy. Then focus on finding for the good and be greatful. The more good you find , the more greatful you are, the more greatful you feel, the more you feel you are living in a perfect world wherever you are.

Till next time.

The road to Wealth

Hello,

The road to wealth is very challenging.

Yesterday, I was happy. Today sI am down again when I received letter from creditors that they are increasing her minimum payment from 2% to 5%. I don't even know where and how to come up with a minimum payment.

However, in a moment I quickly get back and said. Where I am right now is exactly where I should be. This is the road to wealth. The journey is very challenging yet the reward is so promising. The end of the road is Ocean of unlimited abundance and prosperity.

With that I am so inspired to get back to face and embrace my daily challenge.

Solid Recovery

hello,

This week was very challenging for me. I was so down but I quickly get back,

Do you want to know why?

I practice the theory of Solid Recovery by Ralph Marston.

Each setback provides an opportunity to recover. And each time you recover, you grow stronger. The route to your goal is not a straight line. There will be many times along the way when you find yourself off course.

When that happens, it can seem like your destination is unreachable. Doubt, fear and apathy will take hold if you let them.

The key is not to let them. For as hopeless as the situation may feel, there are actions you can take that will enable you to quickly get back on track.

Much of the substance of achievement is in becoming skilled at making a quick and solid recovery. Each setback gives you the chance to practice and strengthen and refine that valuable skill. Know that whatever has slowed you down can provide you with a way to move more effectively forward. Quickly get back up, and feel the new strength you've gained.

Come join me as I move forward to reach your destination.

Till next time,

Bernadette

What are you thinking

Hello,

Dale Carnegie, 1888-1955 Writer and Lecturer

Remember, happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.

So what are you thinking?

Happiness is the foundation to survive. It is a magical feeling to handle challenge with EASE.

Do you claim happiness. How do you find happiness. Where does happiness comes from?

I am happy because I have a family, I have kids so whatever my challenge be , I can managed because I have such a HUGE WHY to be happy.


Till next time,

Bernadette

Life is an endless source of Richness

Hello,

I was so quiet in the past two days but now I am back in the game. Excited, happy, enthusiastic and having so much FUN.

Why? According to Ralph Marston, LIFE IS AN ENDLESS SOURCE OF RICHNESS. Everything that comes your way in some way or another add to that richness. I learned to embrace challenge and believe everything happens for a reason. Richness is not on the amout of money or availability of finances that I have right now but it is in my ability to be creative to produce richness with fun and joy in the midst of challenges.

Are you having fun while being challenged?

Till next time.

The Power of Now.

The Power of Now.

I am still down that I need help. I went to pray. I listened to the voices. I practised the mind body and soul connection.

Today, I heard the power of now.

Now is the time to connect to the universe. Now, is the time to come back and stay focus. Let go of your worries. Focus on creating income to exceeds expenses. Clear the mind with negative thoughts and fill in positive affirmation. The mind is like a computer. What you put in is what you get. Use your energy to be creative. Take action. Do not process. Feel the feeling of having that money on your hand right now.. The mind will attract exactly what you think.

Join me in my moment in the power of now.

Till next time.

Synchronistic events

Hello,

Today is Sunday. I went to church with my family. I am feeling better with my affirmations.

The visiting priest Fr Rizalino Valles delivered a meaningful that synchronize exactly where I am today. I feel the message was made exclusively for me, I feel god was talking to me during the mass through the priest. I attentively listened and closely watched the priest body movement that I don't want to miss anything. I approach the priest after mass to tell him how I liked his homily. .

The message goes this way. The country is currently challenged. This challenge is an occasion to come closer to god. God has been sleeping into our bones. This is an opportunity to wake him up in our body. He will wipe up your fear worry and all your negative thoughts and feelings. Call on God and he will give you PEACE.

Call mother mary. She will walk with you to reach your goal..

Have you experienced god or your divine power was talking to you.

Good For you

Good For you.

Hello, I am back.

My son was playing when he accidentally bump his head into the kitchen counter. I immediately attended to him while he was crying and said. Damian, GOOD FOR YOU. You must be growing. Be thankful because you just learned a VALUABLE lesson. This is an opportunity for you to practice paying attention to simple details. The younger you start learning, the better.

I further said. Damian, mom work at home, Our home is my office. I am always at home but I am working. I will not babysit you. I will watch you but be responsible to yourself because mom will not always be at your side.

How do you treat your kids in this situation ?

Until next time,

Bernadette
