Could there be Gifts Behind Your Complaints?
Happy Monday! How are you coping with the new normal? Whether you continue to work from home today or you need to get back to work in the office, take care! Today, I’d like to talk about the gift behind complaints. I remember the “me” before. I was too shy, too introverted. I’ve always been shy ever since I was young. Even when I already became an author, I was still too shy. When people approached me or talked to me, I wanted to hide. Huhu! After I wrote my first book and my first few books, so many people wanted to treat me to lunch or dinner or snacks.…

What do you care about the most these days?
Happy Monday! 🙂  Happy Easter! 🙂 How are you? Today, I just want to listen to you. I just want to hear from you. During this corona virus crisis, what do you care the most? What excites you? What scares you? How can I help you? In the past few weeks, I’ve been doing Zoom calls, meetings, and WhatsApp calls with my family, friends, fellow speakers, and fellow authors. A number of fellow speakers and authors from different countries reached out to me and asked me to help them share their message as an online course, online events, or as email newsletters. I’ve also consulted a lot of fellow authors/speakers…

A Lesson on Humility and Obedience: Covid Edition plus CLOY Hangover
Happy Monday! Let me tell you an old story that is still relevant today. There was an army commander named Naaman of Syria. He was well respected, just like Capt. Ri of Crash Landing on You. While Naaman was well-esteemed, he was a leper. One day, a little girl, their maid, told Naaman’s wife that someone from the land of Israel can cure Naaman. The wife told Naaman, and Naaman obeyed. He asked his King for permission to go to Israel and he was granted the permission. Upon reaching Israel, Elisha, the man who was supposed to cure him didn’t even meet Naaman in person. He just sent the message…

2019 Year In Review : Gratitude List
Wow! 2019 is over and we’re now welcoming a new decade. I love looking back at the year that was and recall all the things and moments I am grateful for. This has now become a yearly habit for me. Here are the links to my previous Year In review for 2012201420172018 My word of the year for 2019 was LOOK. My prayer was to see who or what God wanted me to see. My professional theme for 2019 was: Go Global. Words are so powerful. In 2019, I indeed found what I was looking for and I saw who I was looking for. I also…

Happy Love Month!
Happy Monday! How are you? January flew by so fast.Last month, so many things happened in Australia, the Philippines, China, the U.S. and the rest of the world. My two realizations last week were: First, “We get affected by our environment and what we focus on.” Last Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, I was so immersed in social media and in checking updates about the novel coronavirus. As a result, I got scared to even go out of the house. I did something crazy last Friday. I canceled all my appointments simply because I didn’t have a mask and alcohol! Since we get affected by our environment and what we…

Do you want to write a book in 2020?
Happy Thursday! How are you? What’s in your bucket list this 2020? I remember In January 2019, I went to Chennai, India to give a talk for the Professional Speakers Summit in India. It was my first time to go to India and I was so happy to talk about “How to Write a Book.” This was a photo from that event. In February 2020, I’m flying to Namibia, Africa. I was chosen to speak at the biggest summit for global speakers. Guess what my topic would be: I’ll give a masterclass on Book Writing! It is such a beautiful experience to share book writing to a global audience. I…

Here’s a new habit in 2020 I’m so excited about. :)
Happy Tuesday. 🙂 How are you? Before anything else, I’d like to invite you to pray for Australia. Here’s a short visualization/prayer: God, we visualize an outpour of rain in Australia. We see children joyfully playing in the rain. We visualize families and friends feeling so happy and loved because of the rain. We see animals running and playing around in their natural habitat. Thank You, God! What new habit do you want to adopt in 2020? I bought the audio version of Robin Sharma’s book The 5AM Club. I haven’t finished the book yet, but I was convinced that waking up at 5am is a good idea. 🙂 So…

I’m so grateful for you! :)
Happy Tuesday! 🙂 Hope you’re having a beautiful week so far. THANK YOU! I’m writing this short article to say, THANK YOU! Thank you for being part of my life. Thank you for reading my articles. Thank you for being you. Last Saturday, I celebrated my birthday. Every time I celebrate my birthday, I engage my friends and my team and we think of doing something special. In my previous birthdays, we’ve had seminars-for-a cause, and so on. This year, we had the World Gratitude Summit, an online summit wherein I interviewed some of the world’s experts when it comes to gratitude. It was a two-day online summit participated by…

My birthday gift for you :)
Happy Monday! 🙂 Are you familiar with the hit movie The Secret? I had a chance to interview two of the teachers featured in that movie. One of them is Jack Canfield, the bestselling author of the book series Chicken Soup for the Soul. That book sold over 500 million copies in more than 100 countries worldwide. 500 million! Woah! The other person I interviewed is Dr. John Demartini. In my interview with them, they shared how powerful gratitude is and how it helps us succeed and be happy. Gratitude is so simple, right? But it’s so powerful at the same time. Aside from Jack Canfield and Dr. John Demartini, I also sat down with some…

Let’s celebrate something today! :)
Happy Tuesday! 🙂 How’s your start of the week so far? Last night, the plants my interior designer ordered for our condo finally arrived. I was (and still am) so happy! There were a total of 10 outdoor plants for our veranda plus 1 indoor plant. Words are powerful, so I decided to name our indoor plant, JOY. I have 10 outdoor plants which I plan to name Gratitude, Laughter, Gentle, Courage, Radiant, Beautiful, and so on! Hehe! 🙂 Every time I see JOY, I imagine what it feels like to feel a deep sense of joy and to smile and to laugh. Plus, the quote “Let’s celebrate something today”…
