In Expecting Great Things

I had an amazing day!

I have learned over and over again how positive thoughts can change your life but I never really fully applied it in my life. Just recently, because I have been reading more often and listening to audio more frequently, I decided to fully incorporate positivity in my life. The moment I wake up, I am grateful for the most amazing things that will happen the whole day and I end my day by saying a heartfelt thank you for everything that did happen that day. If it felt that nothing good happened, I try as much to find even the slightest good news. Even the fact that I was able to drink cold water when it's hot outside or that a friend gave me free candies. I learned to see the best in everything and dismissed the things that will give me worry. If I find myself worried, I pray, and then I listen to audios to boost my energy and be back to being excited.

It paid off and I am excited to more amazing things that will happen.

Today, I signed a contract with my new business partner! I am really so excited!

This morning, I said to myself - sincerely and genuinely - Today is going to be great, I just know it!

Thank you for this amazing day and may you always have an amazing day as mine!

Buenas Dias!

Of Soul Of Success

I welcomed June 2013 by attending our S7S Training and it has been a day of learning, realization and change. I am so excited and pumped up that I know my June is going to be great!

The Soul of Success:
1. Accept who you are -- because you can be anything that you wanted to be.
2. Let things be -- because the only thing that you can control is yourself.

Of A Life Well-Lived

My grandfather passed away early this morning. He was the only grandfather I knew back when I was growing up, I met my other grandfather just a few years ago.

He was my mom's dad, and we lovingly call him Lolo Roging. I got to know him as someone strict and stern. In some occasions (and there were quite a few) that he drinks, he was a jolly person. When he was a bit drunk and all the grandchildren were visiting, he would bring all fourteen of us to a halo-halo (a Filipino sweet delicacy consisting of red and white beans, jellies of red and green color, fruits like bananas, mango, jack fruit and melons and with lots of ice and milk, topped with leche flan (caramel cream), ube (sweet taro) and ice cream -- in short, a yummy treat!) and whatever else we would want. He would wake up the next day wondering where his money went and my grandmother would smile as she tells him what happened.
I remember those times when he would pick us girls at a party saying that it was already late for us to be staying there (it was just 8pm and the party hasn't even started it). My sister went to her prom and my lolo, being the sweet person that he is, stayed until the event was over.
One thing that I admire about him is that he was a one woman man. He loved Lola (grandmother) so much, that even when he was at his prime, he would not be able to sleep without Lola by his side. They married when Lola was sixteen and they were together for more than fifty years. Whenever Lola was out of town visiting any of us, he calls her everyday. He taught me that there are indeed men out there who are loyal and is capable of loving one person for the rest of their life.
He always felt that he was never given the chance to reach his full potential. He worked for the government for many years but never got to build so much for himself. He lived an honest life and that is why he served without putting money in his pocket. He did try his best to provide for his family.

For me, he lived well. He is loved by his family. He is loved by his friends. He is admired by many.

Lolo, thank you for teaching me a lot of things. That integrity is very important especially in dealing with people and that loving someone means accepting everything about them. Thank you for showing me that giving means not expecting something in return and that life is meant to be lived one day at a time.

I love you. We will miss you. I pray that you are happier where you are now. May you rest in peace.

Of Faith And Loyalty

I never realized that my understanding of the word "loyalty" has been by far, quite shallow and biased.

Of Public Speaking Experiences

I was asked to co-host the recently concluded Fly In Event of S7S Philippines last April 21st at the Insular Life Building.

In Celebrating My Birthday

Thank you!

Of Humility And Leadership

Humbleness can only be expected from the great!

Of Trust And Forgiveness

I am NOT a fan of Sarah Geronimo anymore, as of the moment, I am now one of her BIGGEST fans. The movie It Takes A Man And A Woman shows how much Sarah is maturing as an actress.

Sarah should be given more roles and story plot such as this one.

Of Rules For Happiness

"Feel your emotions but never feed it."

Happiness is a choice, but how hard is it really, for most people to chose to be happy?

I attended The Feast Pasig celebration and I agree with Bro. Obet Cabrillas when he said that each of us can have a sophisticated or simple rules for happiness:
1. "I am happy when I already get what I want" or "I am happy whenever I take a step closer to my dreams."
2. "I am happy when everything goes my way" or "I am happy when all things happen for my good."

Bro. Obet made a lot of sense, if we put a high standard on happiness, it would be hard for us to be truly happy. Choose instead to find Happiness in small things and you'll be amazed at how things work out.

If you want to be happy, be. Buenas Dias!

Of Being Truly Rich

They say that there are three kinds of RICH people:
1. The FILTHY Rich
2. The GUILTY Rich
3. and The TRULY Rich

It is a given that we must all earn a living to feed our family and provide the people that we love the best life that we could possible give them. The question, is that, are we are aiming to be rich?

The irony of life is that, most people wants to be rich, but not everyone can be one. Why?

It all boils down to MINDSET.

Filthy rich people are those who are so rich but they have hatred and anger in their hearts.
Guilty rich people are those who are earning a lot of money, but because they associate being rich to being bad, they are unhappy.
Truly rich people are those who are rich and they they use their riches to bless, help and inspire other people so that others may be rich and blessed as well.

What kind of rich person would you want to be.
Made you think, right? Buenos Dias!

Of Fear And Faith

Today, February 28, 2013 has been a day of excitement, gratitude, nervousness, courage and faith.

Excitement because I know that my March is going to be very big. Bigger than my February.
Gratitude because God has been so generous to me this month that I am humbled by all of His blessings.
Nervousness because I can see that my future is so bright and the understanding that I can make things happen is just so overwhelming.
Courage because I know that whatever is happening now is meant to happen because there are no accidents in life.
and Faith, because even if there is fear in my heart, I know that what is yet to come have already been laid out.

In Belief And Possibilities

My million dollar circle member mentors talked about two things today: Belief and Possibilities.

Of Choices And Circumstances

"If you do not make a choice in your life, your circumstances will make a choice for you." ~John Maxwell

Life happens to all of us. The difference with the successful and those who are not is not in who gets through life without problems, but in who responds to life as a victor or a victim. There is not one person in this world who is not without a problem. I believe that what separates the successful from the not so successful is that single decision of choosing the kind of life you would want to live, no matter what life throws at us.

"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude toward the problem." ~Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean

Most people go through life thinking that they are where they are because of their circumstances. They were born poor. They were not able to finish school. They don't know enough. They only know a certain skill. They don't know how to sell. They are not confident enough. They don't know how to talk to people. They are busy. They just had a family. They need to work late hours. They have so many bills to pay. They are taking care of a sick relative. The list goes on. They live their lives believing that they have no choice. In reality, they have a choice, they were just afraid to do something different in their lives, because no matter how difficult life is for them, they are in their comfort zones.

Sad, isn't it? People would rather do the difficult stuff than the uncomfortable. Difficult stuff gives you permission to complain, that's easy to do. Uncomfortability pushes you to grow, that's hard.

Exercise your freedom to choose. Your life is based on the choices you make. Choose to be great and your life will be great. Make a choice now, and your circumstances will change. Wait for your circumstances to change, and it will forever stay the same running around in circles.

Make a choice, now. Fix your life. Buenas dias!

Of Money And Choices

Money is never a requirement for the best life, but it can give you more choices so that you can truly experience and live the best life that you can have.

In Looking For Opportunities

For the past few days, I have been meeting a lot of people for a project that I am working on. I am expanding my business and is growing a brand from a billion to 5 billion dollars in 3 years.

I learned two things that made me excited about what I am doing.

What struck me was the kind of people that shows up - mostly 40's and above, earning quite well with their job and those who are in a good position with their companies. Those who usually cancel the appointment are young people or those who are just simple employees. My mentor is right, successful people become successful because they are the ones who keep their commitments and they are the ones who are always open to new opportunities. Those who I believe, really needs the opportunity, are those who are not really open or is not even looking.

Another thing was the question that, why do people in their 40's, 50's and even 60's still look for other opportunities? I mean, one should already be made and enjoying their lives at that age, right? It made me think a very simple yet profound truth: if I stay at work and do the best I can on my job, I will get promoted, earn a good income but at the age of 40 or 50, I would still be looking for an opportunity that will help me reach my dreams (if ever I still believe in dreams).

I was sharing this to my mentor a while ago at our monthly Fast Start Training. I was telling him about what I realized about life and my choices. One, if you are looking for business partners, look for those who are already successful, not just because they are your friends. It's best if they are both. Second, if I do what everyone else is doing, then I will get the result of everyone else. It is very easy to know your future, look at those ahead of you who are doing what you are doing. It you like their life, keep doing what you are doing, if not, then do something else.

I am so thankful that I made a wonderful choice of being in business. I hope that you are also excited about the choices you made in your life.

Buenas dias.

In Planning The Year

If you want to really make 2013 your year, plan it ahead and do whatever it takes.

In Minding Your Business

What is stopping from doing something that can actually change your life?

In Becoming Blue Diamond

I just came home from a 2 day leadership camp. It was both confronting and life-changing.

Of The New Year

The whole sky lit up because of the colorful fireworks and the whole night went to life because of the sound of celebration. It was an amazing welcome for a year filled with possibilities, hope and memories yet to come.

I am always excited with the new year, because it teaches us to let go of the past and look forward to the future as we enjoy the present moment.

New Year's Resolutions are so overrated. Most people seem to have the same resolution every year. This year, I didn't have any resolution, but I do have a definite goal with date as to when I will accomplish it. It's scary, it's nerve wracking and yes, it is prone to failure. But in my opinion, I would rather take the risk of making mistakes than not to have done anything and find myself in the same position as I was last year. 

This year, 2013, my goal is to become a Blue Diamond Executive. I already believe that I am one, my next step is to put it into reality. The one thing I am most grateful for is that I have family and friends who also believe that I am capable of achieving my goals. I am indeed blessed.

I have only one dream, I want to change my life for the better so that I can be able to touch more lives and help people change their lives for the better, as well.

Here is to an amazing 2013! Happy New Year everyone! Buenas dias!
