bosanchez - Remember Your Greatness And Laugh With God Today

 

           Going home from the beautiful Sagada mountains, we passed by Nueva Vizcaya.

       After 8 hours of travelling in our minivan, my boys were hungry.  So we dropped by at a restaurant for lunch.

       That was when a funny thing happened: All the managers of the store recognized me.

       In their eyes, I was a big celebrity.  It was as though John Lloyd came into the store.  (I must admit, I see a few similarities.  We both have two hands, two feet, two eyes, one nose…)  So they took my photo and asked for my autograph.

        That wasn’t all.  One manager told me, “It’s our 10th Anniversary and we have this big raffle.  Can you do the honor of picking the grand prize?”  The Department of Trade and Industry representative was there, wearing a nice black coat, looking formal and all.

        That was when I realized how ridiculous I looked.

        I was on vacation mode.

        I was wearing puruntong shorts.

        I was in a crummy tee-shirt.

        I wore muddy sandals.

        I didn’t even have a shower that morning because Sagada was freezing.

        And for 4 days, I didn’t shave.

        Just to let you know, my moustache doesn’t look nice.  No matter how I try, I can’t really have a moustache—I have Genghis Khan whiskers that are crooked and point to North, South, East, and West.

        But here was the thing: The people there didn’t see any of that!

        All they saw was Bo Sanchez, the author and speaker.

        Jeepers.

        So there I was, standing beside the DTI guy in a black coat, surrounded by the managers, the staff, and a circle of people—all the while being photographed in my puruntong shorts.

        My point?

        In that restaurant, I had a glimpse of what you and I experience before God.

        When God looks at you, He doesn’t see your external weaknesses.

        He doesn’t see your sins, your failures, and your mistakes.

        He only sees who you really are deep within. 

        He sees your core.

        He sees your greatness.

        When you really think about this incredible greatness within you, how can you not be happy?  How can you not laugh with God?

        The reason we’re not happy is because we forget who we really are.

        Dear friend, when you really think about it, there’s no reason for you not to be happy.  And in His eyes, you’re awesome.

        So decide to be extremely happy.

         Laugh with God today.

         May your dreams come true,

         Bo Sanchez

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
