“What do you do when your dreams are bigger than your resources?” Option 1: Adjust your dreams to match your resources. Option 2: Adjust your resources to match your dreams. Bo Sanchez posed this question during his talk last Sunday at The Feast PICC. The house was divided. The majority chose Option number 2. Here’s Bo’s answer: It depends. You need to discern.

Three Lessons from PGH: An Early Christmas Story
Last Saturday, about 50 people from Mentor Philippines, OWWA scholars, and PLDT Customer Care gathered together in PGH (Philippines General Hospital) to celebrate early Christmas with the sick children in PGH Wards 9 and 11.

Why Mere Dreaming is Not Enough
Three friends Juan, Pedro, and Pepito went to a far flung barrio up north of the Philippines and they found one boiled egg. The problem is, there are three of them and there is only one boiled egg. And so they agreed that they will sleep first and dream. The person who will go farthest in his dream will win the boiled egg. And so the three of them went to sleep. The next morning, they got together. Juan was very excited to share his dream. He said, “I dreamed I was in Boracay. White sands… the sun was shining with all its splendor. Oh, I can still…
