WIN OVER THE ENEMY

The way of God’s kingdom is to win over by reason, dialogue and love. Winning over also “eliminates” the enemy because it resolves the enmity, and so the enemy is transformed into a friend.Fr. Joel Jason

This is one of the best advices regarding winning over. We were taught in this world to fight with or enemies and win over but it turns out that we still feel bad because someone still got hurt. When Jesus came, he showed us how to love our enemy. Very unusual and is not easy to do but a very good thing to learn. Winning over is stopping the cycle of violence and revenge by showing mercy and understanding to those who need it. For the Father in heaven will bless us in living His teachings.

Take the higher road. Forgive.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Grant that I may not so much seek to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

One day I was furious upon receiving an email. Some people do not know how to make a powerful request instead they push you authoritatively just like an egoistic power play.  As I calm myself, I called my mom. She quickly understands my point and reminds me to put my energy into positive things instead of wasting it to nonsense ones.

This morning I read the readings, First reading is somewhat related to the feelings that I felt that time and the message is to forgive.  Funny that the priest’s message in the mass yesterday was to read the bible; according to him it has all the answers to our concerns.

Sometimes it is very hard to go on and live a righteous life because the people around us always mock us, make fun out of us, belittle or abilities and steal our dreams. But we can free our self from this by believing in our own ability, being with like minded people and continuously building our own self esteem so that we will be strong enough in facing adversaries. Let us be busy honing or craft and perfecting the talent and abilities given to us. It will be the Lord who will bless us and always guide us to the right path. It can also help to know that those people who do the unkind things to others are those deeply wounded and is just longing for acceptance as well. Let us understand their current situation wishing that someday they will also have their peace!

going through the changes

As I have said last week,I wanted to do some changes...but then again, all changes will face some resistance. It tests us on how serious we are in undergoing the change that we want...Well, for the pictures, obviously, I still don't have pictures...i am not comfortable taking pictures using my phone...and i don't have a digicam that come in handy...for this, i have 2 options, to be comfortable with my phone or buy a new cam...well its workable anyway.

When I posted my last blog, a friend recommended a site that teaches better ways to do blogging. Its good but then again, I can't find enough time to listen to the audio and do the tasks. However, i did started with day 1 and 2 even if i already have day 7 in my mail. The video thought me that even name of my blog site is important. Knowing that, i wonder if i can still change this blog site. Peace!

For the regular updates, no commitment yet but Im doing my best to create a post at least once a week then I am hoping that I can increase the frequency...

I am still positive that I can do this... someday, I will also be known in the online community

boring

One of my goals this year is to increase my online presence. One of the things that though of is reviving this blog site. Initially I just want some avenue to express  my thoughts. But when I saw my site before I sleep. I saw that its boring!

SAD to hear but the 1st step to change is awarenes....I would accept suggestions to further make this site more exciting and informative. However these are ythe few things that I thought of:

1. I will add pictures...some people bare visual and would be attractive to pictures..i need to have my own camera again...

2. Have a theme or build a story...like some people who do projects where people could go back regularly....I am thinking of fashion blogs, sharing my own fashion sense, beauty regimens, self improvement and i am open to more suggestions

3. Commitment to make the regular schedule of blogging. 

I am hoping this will be the last boring blog that i will write...haha...

Organizing my room project

Ever since I was a child I like keeping all sorts of things…all my toys, all my dresses, shirts, gifts. All of them are kept in my box. Once a year I looked at my boxes and try to sort out which will stay and which will be thrown away. Usually it happens after classes. But now that I am grown up, I organize my room more often, especially when we have visitors and when my eyes got sore by all of the stuffs piling in my table.

Just last week, we have a new room mate and she is kind of organized than me. With all the piles that I am seeing in my table I got embarrassed and I want to clean my table and the whole room more often. I started with this last week however I still need some more tools to help me organize. I bought some more this lunch and hopefully this will clean the table later.

Having a clean room is actually a good practice, same as with our self; we should always keep a clean heart. We should regularly throw our baggages. They   are not helpful. Having a clean heart gave us peace of mind and happiness. At the end of the day its starts with a goal until we make it part of our life…

Sometimes

Its not happy to see myself busy doing things that are temporary and not lasting. Now that I know my options and that I deserve more, I am not satisfied anymore with what is available. The reason why I should be busy with things that will create my future just the way i like it.

But then again at present I must finish all things fast to be able to attain the life that i want. unless I stop doing foolish things that do not contribute to what i want, my precious time will continuously be wasted instead of being efficient. This is very ideal but i will not stop until its done. I may be tired already but i know He will give me strength until this journey is over and it will all be worth it. Not just to have time and money freedom but to have the ability to help other people BIG time, being able to help the many instead of only few.

Creating a new habit

I was dead tired yesterday. I had dinner with friends at a shabu shabu resto...its fun, my first time. after dinner we had tea at my favorite tea house...we chat until midnight and when i got home, i just wanted to sleep. after fixing myself, i hurriedly went on to my bed and effortlessly fall a sleep. when suddenly i heard the alarm!!! it was like a nap and i really want to sleep more....i stopped y alarm and went back to bed...after few minutes i forced myself up so that i can take a bath before my housemate. i was actually in the middle of going back to sleep or taking a bath when a thought struck me...I am training to be an entrepreneur and in business there are no paid leaves unless i establish my passive income streams.  I am on my 1st week of waking up early and as i expected, i am tested if i am serious. i know i can make this new habit and same i way i can change my life to be better for me and my love ones....

Good news everyday!

As I browse the net last night, I was strucked by a comment that I read from a friend. It was good news! I was caught off guard and noticeable surprised and then I commented it was good news to finally settle all things. I kept on reminding myself that it was good news, but I know I was affected as I tell my story to everybody.

Its funny how I reminisce and just now I was reminded by the article that I read yesterday to live in the now. This makes us enjoy our current situation, thus we find happiness easily.

Today as I start a new day, I asked guidance from the Lord, to help me live in my present situation. Though I am focusing in having a better life in the next 3 – 5 years, appreciating my current situation will make this journey even more memorable.

I thank the Lord for my current job. Though I stayed in one company for the last 6 years, I am still grateful that I was able to learn many things from the different positions that I had and the many people that I worked with. Each person contributed something for my growth.

I thank the Lord for my family, who has been very supportive ever since. Though we are not perfect, we still complement each other. I thank the lord as well for the protective parents that I have, they always have my best interest. Sometimes we do not understand them but at the end of the day they know better.

I thank the Lord for my business partners; they have been good friends as well for the past 2 years. I am looking forward for many more years of doing business and a better life for all of us. Soon we can also help other people change their life and create the life they always dream of.

I thank the Lord for the business that I have, it gives me growth that I need to succeed. And soon I know that I will also have the time freedom to do the things that I love and be with the people that matters most to me.

Above, are just some of the things that I am grateful about and I know that If I will remind myself to be at the present, my days will be more brighter, exciting and full of surprises. I am happy for everyone’s success. Let us count our blessings and be a blessing to our neighbors.

New Year's Reolution

Happy New Year Everyone!

Its now almost the end of week 1 for January and I am quite sure that time will fly by fast once again and for all we know its Christmas again. Nut before that day came, I have some new success habits to create. This success habits will support my Goal of becoming Ruby by My birthday month.

My schedule is suppose to be like this: I wake up at 5 am to give me enough time to wake up  to my senses, cook breakfast, do some laundries while listening to audio books. I just encountered some struggles using my phone for playing the audio book. I think it would be better if I buy a CD player or speaker to blast the audio book while I do those tasks. At around 7 AM, I should be done with my morning regimen and is ready to go to Don Bosco church for the morning mass. After the mass, Ill do my work as Pre-sales engineer in FPI and after office Ill focus myself in finding business partners by doing the demo and doing the presentation. And just before I retire at night, I have to make my presence higher in the online community. I will update my blog sites until I earn followers and become known in the community. For this year, I am also looking at being more active in twitter and FB as I upgrade my gadgets.

This 2012 will be bright for me because I choose to be my own new self, Happy and financially free.

how time pass by

Christmas season is fast approaching. I can still recall the last time it was Christmas. This is how time is passing through. As I review, it becomes fast when a lot of things are happening, when everyday is a new memory that we create. I have a lot of activities, working for 8 hours, business for the next 8 hours and sleep, travel, personal stuffs with the next 8 hours. It may look like very tiring…but actually I know it will all be worth it. This is the same time schedule that I have since high school and as I remember, I did prettily accomplish much.

Looking back in my high school years I have no deep desire of being in the honor list but I declared that it can be good to be in the top 10 of the class. As I went on, my habits are consistently aligned with my friends that are in the honor list and in no time I took my place as the 3^rd honorable mention.

In my college years, I have no plans of being academically excellent; it was more of developing me better. True enough I met SCA and things were not the same. It’s now my priority higher than my academics. Sounds weird but it comes from my belief that after college it is really more of whom you know and what you experienced that matter.

In my first 3 years at work, I work hard to prove myself and play hard as well. And I was rewarded when I was dispatched to Darwin, it was one of the best times in my life and honestly I still can’t get over it. It is still in my vocabulary. I slowed down after Darwin but now I am in the momentum. Things are looking brighter and soon I will be able to create more memories with my family and people that matters. There are planting times but soon harvest time will come and everything will be fine and just perfect. Worth it!

GOALS

Goals are like the air that we breathe and the food that we eat.

It is essential to keep us alive and make us look forward for another day to come.

When we were a kid, it is our dreams. It is the life that we want and how we want to contribute. The good thing about being a child is that we do not know any limitation because all things are possible. How I wish we carry that spirit until now. It will rise up my energy and make all things indeed possible. 

Goal Setting

We recently had the goal setting yesterday and It was a wake up call for me. looking back, i lack enthusiasm, belief and energy. Im glad I have finished my executiveship...now the challenge is to maintain. I firmly believe that i can do this and i thank God for  the courage that he gave me...As i declared yesterday that i will be a ruby for my bday, i have faith that this will come true to me and i thank the Lord for it is done...

When Your Resources Run Out, Rejoice!

Exerpt from blogs of Bo Sanchez:

When Your Resources Run Out, Rejoice!

There were two wines used in this party: Man-made wine and God-made wine.

Thank God that the man-made wine ran out.

Because if not, the God-made wine wouldn’t have appeared.

In the same way, there’ll be days when your resources will run out. When your own strength will run out. When your own ideas will run out. When your human connections will run out. When your own money will run out. 

If they run out, rejoice! When resources run out, God-made resources will appear. 

Here’s my belief. Every so often, you need to push yourself beyond the border of what is possible. Every so often, you need to enter the realm of the impossible. Because if you stay in the easy level, you’ll never grow. And God will have no stage to perform His miracles.

You need to dream God-sized dreams that can only happen if you received God-sized blessings. If you dream man-sized dreams, then you don’t need God.

Today, let your limitations open up to His leadership. Let your mess open up to His miracles.

I repeat. There were two kinds of wine in the party. Man-made wine and God-made wine.

Friend, are you tired of man-made wine in your life?

Let God-made wine—the Holy Spirit—work in your life today. 

Surrender.  

        Reflectio:

Looking back, I saw the moments that God has been showering His Blessings to me and my family yet I tend to forgot to ask Him for help whenever I am into a new one; I am now running out of resources for my business. Not just financial but ideas, strategy, partners and enthusiasm. But I know deep in my heart that this is where the Almighty leads me to provide a better future for my family and my future family. I believe that this is my anointing and soon the roots are buried enough to support the growth of my organization. I am inviting the Lord to be my partner in this business, I know that through Him, all things will be possible and that only Him can fulfill the needs of the people around. All that we need to do is let Him show us the way as we do our part in living our life. Thanks Bo for reminding me this, I know that in this time, God is making His miracle for me.

My Goal this July 2011

I am in a game, that is to maintain my qualification process better yet finish it this month! This is a big goal and I am challenged right now to do this.

It was sweet that my family is very supportive of me. My mom is helping me out with the business. My siblings cheer me up for more treat. It was also comforting that my favorite tita see me as very determined and can see the success coming my way.

This milestone is important to me because this is the start of a new life for me and my family. This is the start of our life getting better. but not only for my family, I wish that I can share this blessing to the people close to me. I hope that they take the time to look at this opportunity and together we can all have a better life.

I know that I will get through this, I can make it. I believe that all the help that I need will pour out and make things easier. I will conquer my old self  and a better me will be there ready for service for the people around me.

My Bootcamp experience

Our boot camp was an intense training to remove our baggages and start a new inspired and full of rigor. It was a fun experience when finally i heard the words that i am wanting to hear to make me feel alright and move on. I am now more confident and excited about this business.I came to realize that maybe those words are the only thing that i was waiting for and after 5 years i actually heard it. With this freedom from my past, I believe that my business will now zoom up and that I can start qualifying this month. I am now focused on my future and what it can give me...and my dreams fueled up my desire so that i can be moved with the urgency to help more people as I climb the ladder of success in business. My target is to be executive this July an I believe that my friends, family and the whole universe will conspire to make this happen.

Lord, affirm me in what I'm doing if it's according to Your will.

AND GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH

 

For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. – Acts 5:38

 

“Sister, I’m afraid to take it up as a career,” I told my retreat directress when I realized that I have the gift of writing.

When she asked why, I said, “Because I feel that I’d dry up. I fear that I won’t be able to sustain it.”

“That’s where you are wrong. If it indeed is God’s gift to you, He will see you through.”

And so it came to pass. After 10 years of writing part-time, here I am now, writing full-time for the Lord.

In the same way, after 20 years, Kerygma is still around — changing people’s lives, bringing more souls closer to God and giving birth to Kerygma Conference, the biggest Catholic event of its kind in the country.

It has not been an easy journey — my 10 years orKerygma’s 20 years — but God certainly writes straight with crooked lines. There were financial difficulties, relationship problems and all sorts of trials, but when God is behind the task, nothing can destroy it.

It’s true what my directress said. God will see you through when you’re doing His work. I’m glad I trusted in her wisdom. Tess V. Atienza (svp_tvatienza@yahoo.com)

I personally believe that what I am doing right now is a gift from God. It is a gift that can give me more time to love and more blessings to share. I know that God will lead me to finish my tasks and live a good example.  

 

more responsibilities!

As they said in the book "The magic of thinking Big" Give the job to a busy person and surely he will delivers. I am currently a busy person and yet I took the responsibility to be one of the heads in calling and a maestro team for WC. I will surely deliver and improve each day until I become one the key persons in business. My learnings are now put into action for my development.

First quarter ends

I did got to the executive getaway for CA, i made it happen for Coron...this time I want to qualify for Vietnam and Utah, Kyoto and Paris...Having the end in mind....I will be team elite soon. First milestine is my executiveship. I fall short last december due to working solo. My team is on their way to make my executiveship stable. To keep me on track, lets meet and plan for a great month ahead...

Dreams

It’s been a while since I updated my site. I have been busy in the events of the community. I am thankful for the number of guests that respond to my invitations. I am quite surprised that a lot of them where not in my circle of friends. It is humbling that other people outside from my circle saw me as trustworthy and a leader. I thought this is the same with my circle of friends but then reality hits me that the most people close to me is my best critic. Sad but true. We often are so critical with our friends, instead of being a supportive friend; we give doubts, criticism and negative comments that make us depressed instead of uplifting us. In spite with this experience, I am committed in making myself successful, I have dreams for myself, my family and my community. I have been in a rocky plane at present but I know that the sun will soon shine on me and I will get my 1^st milestone completed. I was reminded last night that it is my desire that make things happen. I want it badly and I believe that my lifeline is on its way. I am thankful that I finished this task and soon I will reach my desired lifestyle.

Thankful to my team

This December is a milestone in my Nuskin business. I am finishing my executiveship this December, I made 4000  points and is ready to maintain 3000 points for the Japan trip. This Feb I will be in El Nido for bonding moments with my leaders, incentive trip to Utah, and soon Paris. There are a lot waiting for 2011. I am thankful for my team in helping me achieve all of this. We compliment each other thus bringing the best from each of us, I have never imagined such opportunities. I am thankful for the community in guiding me in my journey. I am committed to First world Philippines and thus committed to my success and of my leaders. This is a great month, and more great years ahead. If you are interested in attending the wealth course, please fill up this form:
