Be grateful today!

Some people can’t be grateful today. They’re waiting for something big to happen for them to be grateful. They say, “I’ll be grateful if I win the lotto,” or, “I’ll be grateful if I get promoted,” or, “I’ll be grateful if I have a baby.” 

            Don’t wait to be grateful. Be grateful now!


In the book The Secret by Rhondy Byrne, there is a whole chapter there that speaks about gratitude. It has been said that there is power when we are always grateful. Im not just talking about being grateful to the things that we already have, but to be grateful to the things we don’t’ have yet.


This is one of the secrets of the rich. They always think positive. They look in the future as being done deal. They see the so called universe as one big giant catalog or magazine, where you just look through the pages and choose the things that you want and then believe that they will have it.


Being grateful for things


Let me ask you something, Let’s just imagine that one night, you have this crazy dream, God appeared in front of you, and he said, “Hello my child, do you want to see what would happen to you this year? Come take a peek in this magic well and see for yourself.” You took a peek and you see yourself very wealthy. You have a loving family with you, you live in a beautiful house, and your driving a Mercedes benz or a BMW, you have big savings in the bank, you get to travel in different places, plus you donate 10% of your income to your church every month. What do you think you would be your first words to GOD?


Now I don’t know about you but I  would say THANK YOU LORD! Salamat! You’re the greatest! Then I would do the dance of joy!


However,something happened afterwards. You woke up.


What would you think your attitude would be after that dream. Would you be a different person? Would you start to be grateful? Would you always be happy? What if the next day somebody insulted you at work? Would you mind that person? I think you would start to let go of the small things that doesn’t really matter in your life. After all, it is God who appeared in your dreams, and he said all the things that you want would be given to you.


Friends when we pray, I suggest that don’t just simply ask God for what you want, thank Him already for receiving it. You see we have a word for that. Faith.


“If you have faith as a mustard seed, you would say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will move. Then nothing would be impossible for you.”


Be grateful. Surrender yourself to Gods love.


Enjoy life!

Today, be thankful and think about how RICH you are

      Your family is priceless

  Your time is gold

     Your health is wealth

     And your Savior is the greatest treasure of all

When we think about riches, sometimes we only think of the material things like a luxury car, a big house, jewelries etc. We tend to forget that these are just external things we get from life, like an added bonus. Because when our time is up, we won’t really care much about these things.

Most of the time we think of ourselves us a poor person, we equate riches with money. I believe that if we really want to enjoy and live life it is time that we stop our “scarcity mentality”. we always feel that we are not blessed with God’s riches.

There was an earthquake last month over at the Southern part of the Philippines. It was so strong and it affected a great part of Mindanao and Visayas area. I’ve heard in the news that there was scenes where people simply abandon their cars and look for the best shelter they could find to protect themselves. These make me think that, life is really this way. At the end of our lives we won’t care about our money, cars or business. At the end of our lives, what would really matter is the time we give to our family, the way we shared ourselves with others

Successful expert trainer Brendon Burchard says it all .He said that at the end of our lives, there are three things that we really ask ourselves and those are, did we live? did we love? and did we matter?

Enjoy life, have an abundant mentality.

Make Everyday your birthday!

“Do you get that excited, special feeling when it’s your birthday? I want you to feel like that every day. I want you to live expectantly, awaiting gifts and blessings to come your way.” - GOD

Im the type of person who feels so excited when my birthday comes. My birthday is Sept 19 by the way, I know it is still far, so you still have about 7 months to buy me a present. Okay na sa akin ang mercedez benz! (Mercedes benz is fine with me.) Make it black or silver hehe. Ei, did you know that when you buy a Mercedes this days, you get to have a free iphone 4s.

So in case you guys wants a new iphone. You know what to do. Buy a Mercedes!

There are two reasons why I’m excited when my birthday is near, and that is first, when the month September comes, the “ber” season just means Christmas is just around the corner and second I’m so excited with the gifts that will be given to me. Yes like a little kid, I still have fun opening presents.

Birthdays are fun! But the fun does not need to end on the day itself. Everyday can be our birthday if everytime we wake up in the morning, we always think of the blessings and gifts that will come our way.

We have to expect happiness, we have to expect love, expect abundance because what we expect we attract. Let me share what one of my mentors told me.

He said that when you wake up everyday and you look at yourself in the mirror, you should see someone. That someone should be you. If you see somebody else, I suggest you run! But in case you do see “you” tell that person, “something good will happen to you today”! I know it may sound a little bit silly, but if you say this with all your heart, and you actually believe in it. Something within you will feel different. You will begin your day with much joy and happiness.

When you feel joy, you naturally attract joyful things around you. Then when the day ends, you will come to realize that indeed something goog happened to you within that day.

If you don’t believe in this, I suggest you do the opposite. Everyday, you tell yourself, “something bad will happen to me today”. See what happens.

There are so much in store for you.

In God’s eyes, everyday is your birthday.

May you aim high, live life, love God.

Words are powerful

"It’s not the quantity of words that’s important – it’s the quality, the quality. The quality of your words will determine the quality of your life – including the life of the people around you” – God

We all have the tendency to say something bad to someone, especially when we are right. We give no regard to the other person’s feelings. I know, because I too sometimes act the same way.

I remember once, when I was driving and there was this guy pushing a big cart, filled with junk. He was actually in the middle of the road, oblivious of the traffic he is causing. When I finally got the chance to overtake him, I rolled down my window and gave him the “finger”, and shouted some obscene words towards him. I was so mad.

However, minutes later, I suddenly stopped and thought to myself, man was I bad to that guy, he must also be having a bad day like me. But amidst my regret, I could no longer go back to the man and apologize to him because he is already gone.

How many times did this happen to you? Where you said something not nice, you said it because you were hurt or you were irritated or you were just simply being a mean to someone.

They always say that it is when you are right where you are actually the meanest.

Let’s choose our words.

Make your words a blessing, not a curse.

May you aim high, live life and love God,

Ludwig Weigand
