bosanchez - Write It Down, 25 Things You Like About Yourself

            I did this the other day and couldn’t stop at 25. 

            I ended up writing 67 things I like about myself.  And since the list is in my journal, I plan to keep adding onto it until I reach100.

            We need to start thanking God for who we are.

            Do start writing your 25. 

            Celebrate who you are.

            This will change your perception of who you are.

            All of a sudden, you realize how special you are.

            And slowly, you’ll start liking yourself a lot.

            Let me tell you why this is very important…

The Most Important Reason

 

            A few years ago, when my son was a bit younger, I remember one afternoon when I was swamped with work.

            I had so many articles to write, so many meetings to plan, so many business concerns…  But my wife said, “Please bring Francis to the barbershop.  He’ll be a ring bearer.”  (That’s the disadvantage of having a cute son.  He gets to be ring bearer a lot.)

            So I put aside all my work in the afternoon and brought him to the barber.

            After the haircut, I was thinking that we were going back home so I could work.  That was when Francis said, “Daddy, I’m hungry.”

            So we marched to his favourite restaurant and he ate chicken and rice at 4 in the afternoon.

            Again, as we were leaving, I was presuming I could now go back to work.  But Francis tugged on my arm again and said, “Daddy, I’m still hungry.”  My gosh.  Where does this little guy put all that food?

            Later on, I realized he was hungry not for food but for love.  Specifically, hungry for Daddy’s love.

            So we kept on walking, visiting other shops, until he saw a playground.  His eyes grew large and said, “Daddy, can I play?”

            I believe life is about moments.  So I bought myself a cup of coffee (just because it fit the entire scene), sat on a park bench, and enjoyed watching my son jump from one slide to another.

            We had the grandest time.

            Why did I disrupt my whole afternoon for Francis?

            Because I’m his father and he’s my son.

            He’s more important than all my work.

            He’s more important than all my ministries.

            He’s more important than all the books I write and all the talks I give.

            Friend, this is the ultimate reason why you need to like yourself.

            Because you have a Father who loves you so much.

            You’re more important than all the stars in the sky.

            You’re more important than all the galaxies of this universe.

            In the heart of God, nothing compares with you.

            If He loves you this much, how can you not like yourself?

            May your dreams come true,

            Bo Sanchez

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
