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

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
