What is your word of the year?
Happy Tuesday! 🙂 How are you? Last Saturday, I attended the quarterly closed-door mastermind meeting with Bro. Bo Sanchez and the TrulyRichClub mentors. He led the group to annual planning. Here’s something I learned from him, as echoed by my friend Maan. Review your 2018 and list down the positive and negative things that happened to you. Then do more of the positive and less of the negative. I loved it because it’s pretty much the same with what we do. To make this year our best year ever, we need to write down our Gratitude and Gold. Gratitude means the blessings or the positive things that happened to us while Gold means the lessons you learned…

What are your limiting beliefs?
Two years ago, I’ve had my first ever dance recital. Okay, it was not just a recital. It was a dance concert held at Star Theater in Pasay City. It was not just a dance concert. It was a Douglas Nierras Dance Concert. What was so special about this dance concert? I was never a dancer. I remember when I was still an employee. I joined a dance class sponsored by our company. Day 1, I was able to follow the steps. Day 2, I couldn’t follow the steps anymore. So I stopped attending the dance classes. I had this mindset: I’m not a dancer. I can never dance. Every time I would be invited to…

Last December 2017, I went on an all-expense paid trip to Dubai, plus a professional fee for my speaking engagement. I was with my best friend, her mom, and her mom’s best friends. There were five of us. But that’s not the secret I’m talking about. Here’s our photo at Dubai Desert Safari. The five of us loved Dubai so…

A Christmas Gift for OFWs
I was in Dubai a few weeks ago and I met this young IT professional while riding a van from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. She was worried because her company closed down and now she has to look for another job before her visa expires. Just a few weeks prior to that, I was in Singapore to attend a conference. One Sunday, I decided to hang out in a park. There were so many Filipinos who were having a picnic. It was their day off. Then I noticed a Filipina in her 50’s who was sitting by herself. While everyone else was with a group of friends, she was there,…

Three Things I Discovered about Happiness that Awed Me
How are you? What does happiness mean to you? When I was much younger, happiness to me means achieving my goals, getting what I want, being treated well, etc. As I grow, I realized what real happiness means. Lately, I’ve experienced three setbacks that made me appreciate what real happiness is. Setback #1: When I got home a few nights ago, I found out that we had no electricity. Normally, I’d be tempted to get upset. Instead, I smiled and said,“Wow! This is going to be a unique experience. It’s camping night tonight. What an adventure.” Takeaway #1: Happiness is finding something amusing in a seemingly not-so-good situation. (Btw, our electricity was back…
