bosanchez - Are You Ashamed For Who You Are?

 

 

There are people who feel that they don’t deserve to ask for anything.

That’s why I like the story of Elijah and Elisha.

Next to Moses, Elijah was the greatest Old Testament prophet. Elisha was his disciple, his understudy. Think Robin to Batman.

One day, the great prophet says to his disciple, “Ask what I shall do for you before I be taken away from you.”

I love what Elisha said. He replied, “I pray that I get a double portion of your spirit.”

Wow! What guts. What daring. What boldness!

Sometimes, I imagine if Elisha was Filipino. It would have been a very different scenario, believe me.

Because the Pinoy Elisha would have blushed, chuckled, and with a wave of his hand replied, “Oh, nothing at all. You’ve given me so much already.”

And Elijah would have to cajole him, “Come on, Elisha, tell me. What do you want?”

To which the Pinoy Elisha would reply, “Nothing. Really! Nothing at all.”

Elijah would press some more, until Elisha would say, “OK, just give me a itsy-bitsy little, tiny smudge of your anointing. And I’ll be more than happy!”

This is what I call the “Itsy-Bitsy Spirituality”. And it has many devotees.

It’s very Filipino. But I’m sure that it’s a universal phenomenon too.

We need to learn to ask.

Many times, we don’t ask because we think we don’t deserve to ask.

We don’t feel we deserve a good job.

We don’t feel we deserve a good husband.

We don’t feel we deserve a house.

We don’t feel we deserve healing.

We think that we’re small.

 

Ask!

 

May you dreams come true,

lynda - Jane Wurwand, Founder of Dermalogica, this week on Glambition Radio

Jane Wurwand is not only the founder of the #1 brand of skin care in the world, but she’s also changing women’s lives on a global level . I’m thrilled to have her as my guest on today’s episode of Glambition Radio .

Today, Dermalogica boasts sales of more than $250,000 million a year and is sold in 86 countries around the world! It’s a true rags-to-riches story, and she tells all in our interview . What many people may not know about Jane is that she is also fighting to empower women all over the world. She founded FITE , Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship, which invests in local grassroots initiatives to help women and girls become leaders .

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
