No Fear

Hi how are you? Let me share to you this story that was shared to me by my friend just a few minutes before i conquered the great WHITE CAVE of Camp 7 together with the fantastic fourth year students of East Visayan Academy.

Don't let Fear Hold You Back

A man eager to know what lies ahead for him went to see a fortune teller.As the fortune teller looked into the magic ball he waited curiously.He noticed that the fortune teller is perspiring and shaking her head as she was looking into the magic ball.Then her facial expression said it all.She said " you will have an accident soon and you will die.How will it happen? the man asked."It will involved a vehicle probably a car, truck, motor bike or anything that has wheels and tires", the fortune teller replied.

The man went home disappointed and he keep on thinking how can he avoid the accident foretold by the woman.For two months he agonized thinking of a way.His death due to vehicular accident keeps running in his thought's day in and day out.Finally he made a decision to lock himself in his house.He never went out because of fear and he just stayed in his house for 3 long months.

One morning he decided to go to the kitchen to get some breakfast.His youngest son had left his toy bus on the stairs.The man stepped on the toy on his way down the stairs.He slipped, rolled down the stairs and knocked his head on the concrete floor and died instantly.It indeed involved a vehicle.

This is just a story but there is something to it.Not about believing the fortune tellers for sure.

Here's the moral of the story:

Don't lock yourself, your dream and your future out of fear.Live a life of purpose.Make use of your core gift.Enjoy your passion.Don't lock yourself away.You are God's redeemed child live not in fear!

How do you see it?

I have seen a lot of people who look like they are bombarded by all the circumstances in the world.They have drooping shoulders that made them look like a human question mark.I met one guy who use to look like an action star but now he looks like a soldier from ancient Mesopotamia because of how he views his circumstance.Let me share to you what i have told him which actually helped him.

Your circumstance are not negative or positive whatever it is.Like Mathematics they are "the givens" and are neutral.But it is your way of thinking and your perspective that made the circumstance in your life appear negative or positive.If you have considered an event in your life as bad, then there must be something good about it.Everything has its opposite.

Take a look at your bag if you are holding one. Your office if you are in your workplace right now.Your room if you are in your house.Did you notice that there is an inside and outside part of it? right ? Lets turn the table and make it more personal.Look at your body.Yes your gorgeous body! ( take a second look he he he) just kidding.It has left and right side, front and back part right?

The law of Polarity says that in everything their is an opposite - it is equal and opposite.If you are five feet from your door, your door is five feet from you.I motivate and inspire people but it does't excuse me from circumstances that made me cry a river, makes me scream makes me scream!(that line is from a song) Here's what i do... i draw a circle and i put at the center my circumstance and i navigate around it until i am on the other side and i look at the situation from there.

Honest! it is much clearer to see things from there.What is your circumstance right now?

got no cell phone load? having a flat tire? you failed in the exams? no date for valentines day?

Every problem, every circumstance can be viewed two ways.The way you look at a circumstance determines the quality of life you live.

Do you find this idea difficult? Look at it from a different perspective.

" Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit" Napoleon Hill

You can manage your life

Have you read of 80/20 % rule? It is one of the most effective concept in time or life management. It is founded by Vilfredo Pareto in 1895.

The principle says that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results, 20% of your customers will account 80% of your sales, 20% of your products or services will account 80% of your profits, 20% of your task will account 80% of the value of what you do and so on.

This means that if you have a list of ten items to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth five or ten times or more than the other eight items put together.The most precious task you can do everyday are more often the most difficult and complex but the rewards can be amazing.

For this reason, you must refuse to work on task in the bottom of 80% while you still have the task in the top 20% left undone.Time management is really life management.It is about taking control over the sequence of events.

It is about having control over what you do next.Your ability to choose between the less important and important will determine your success in life and in your career.

Prayer for Today

Here's something i am dying to share.I'm sharing with you "A Prayer for Today" by W. Heartstill Wilson.

This is the beginning of a new day.

God has given me this day to use as i will.

I can waste it or use it for good, but what i do today is important, because i am exchanging a day of my life for it.

When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving in its place something that i have traded for it.

I want it to be gain, and not loss, good and not evil; success and not failure, in order that i shall not regret the price i have paid for it.

This day is all we have . Is there someone to whom an act of kindness not tomorrow but today could make a world of difference?

Today, whether we spend it well or throw it away, will be gone tomorrow.What is there to do that is worth our effort?

Just One Choice

One choice, just one choice can change your life forever.Simply put, your life today is what your choice have made it, but with your new choices, you can change the direction of your life.

Your choice might be: to change career, to go back to school, to start a business (like me), to change your life style, to stop smoking or not to quit in a relationship.If you have the courage to make a choice today you will see the difference it brings.

That's what my friend and former student Carlo Sumugat did.From being "just" a student, from being "just" a member of the community, from being a typical son who ask allowance from parents he choose to be a leader and make a difference in the lives of the youth. At first people say he is way over his head but he pursued that choice. He then run as president of Youth Federation of Sipalay City and he won.

Seeing the needs of his constituents he made great programs for the youth.That one choice made him somebody in the province of Negros Occidental. He is presently the Vice President of the Sangguniang Kabataan of Negros Occidental.From being a nobody Carlo become a somebody just because he made a choice.

You are one choice away from changing your life.Begin to shift your perspective and make a choice.Make one today and the path to growth will open to you.

vote wisely

Allow me to share with you this story.


Vote wisely on the coming election!

A powerful and influential politician was tragically hit by a car and died while walking down the street.His soul arrives in heaven and was met by St.Peter at the entrance.

Welcome to heaven" says St.Peter. "Before you settle in Mr. Politician i want you to know that there is a little problem.We seldom see politicians around these area, you see, so we're not sure what we will really do with you sir"
"No problem just let me in" says the politician.

"Well,id like to but i have orders from my boss. What we will do is have you spend one day in hell and also a day in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.
"Really, i made up my mind. I want to be in heaven". Says the politician.

"I am so sorry sir but we have rules here". St Peter then escorted the politician to the elevator and they went down, down and down to hell.

The doors opened and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.In the distance is a club house and standing in front of it are his fellow friends in politics.They are having a party.They run to greet him and give him a hug and they went talking about their good times while getting rich at the expense of their constituents.After playing golf they enjoy a great meal of lobster, lukon, lechon, checharon and of course the caviar and some expensive wines.

Also present is the devil, who is very very friendly and has a good time dancing and entertaining the guest.They are having a good time that before he realizes it is time for him to go.
Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator went up and then re-opens at the gate of heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

" Now it's time to visit heaven"

The politician then joined a bunch of contented souls moving from one cloud to another , playing their harp while singing. They are having a good time and, before he realizes another 24 hours is over and St. Peter returns.
"Well then, you've spent a day in hell and a day in heaven. Now choose your eternity"

He reflects for a minute, then the answer: " well, would never have thought it, I mean heaven has been a delightful place, but i think i would be better in hell"

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and goes down, down and down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he is in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees his friends, dresses in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. The devil then appears and put his arms on his neck.

"I don't understand" stammers the politician. Yesterday i was here and there was a golf course and a club house and there was a party. Now all there is a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.

The devil looks at him, smiled and says, " yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted for us!

Vote wisely in the coming elections !!!
