 Blessings. Spirit of kindness and generosity little reminders of the goodness of people in our lives. Valuable lesson for many who may be striving for legacy or significance. Acts of Kindness and of Service. Believing that only "grand gestures" and solutions to challenges qualify. Kapatid, farthest from the truth. Random Acts of Kindness cause Kindness is always Free. To Smile is a gift to that person. A wave with gigil, vigor and excitement with face mask on.  

 Pasang-awa. Getting a passing grade out of pity. Unpromising, expected very little from him. When what we do is planted by God. Whether it's a business, project, ministry, or marriage. Ignore the critics and keep going. Those rooted in God will never be uprooted. You are God's child. Not even sin can take away our Divine filiation. Confession makes you see the truth of who you are. When was your last confession? Father, Thank You for who I am in Christ. I'm Your beloved. In the face of discouragement Persevere. When you persevere. You inspire others and God gives you what you deserve for your faithfulness in Him.   

 Most memorable experience. Harsh realities of communities in our country. Inspired to do something more. Be more active. Every opportunity to speak and share. So much more we can do. Sharing to people of means How to help - Donate, make time to volunteer in charity works. We're only human. Let's not forget humanity around us. Give children opportunities for a good education.

As followers of Jesus, we might find it easy to take credit for talents we possess, leadership skills we display or even for our kind deeds to others. But those qualities are possible only because of God' grace. In Jeremiah 9 we find the prophet lamenting the lack of humility and the unrepentant hearts of the people. He wrote that the Lord says we shouldn't boast of our wisdom, our strengths or our riches, but only that we might understand and know that He is the Lord who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth. Our hearts fill with gratitude as we realize the true identity of the True Giver. Father Almighty from Whom all things come from. Ever good and perfect gift is from the Father (James 1:17). All of the credit all of the praise belongs to the Giver of good gifts. Dear Father, Thank You for the good gifts. You so graciously give. We are created to give God glory.  

 Spend time wisely with the right people. A good alliance with people of success. Don't be angry with anything you can't control or solve. Accept it and adjust accordingly. Use reason to rise up to a superior level. Do you spend more than you make? The physical world isn't your real world. We have our Spiritual world and world of ideas. Put your self- esteem on things you can control. Not on the outcome of your efforts. Never blame or criticize anyone. You've got it. You can do it. You can make it. You can achieve anything if you aren't afraid to start as a beginner. All winners were once a beginner. Starting all over again. The truth to power. To re-conquer yourself. Knowing you did your best. Greatest victory is to conquer yourself. Don't let worldly passions and desires dictate you. Use good judgement. Doing what is Right cause it's the right thing to do. Following God's will, Pleasing to God and Glorifying God. Diminish your worldly passions of tempo...

 Without Prayer our time and energy goes to the non-essentials, not important and not a priority. St. Paul described it; I don't understand what I do. For what I want I don't do. But what I hate I do.Romans 7:15. Prayer gives us the Grace we need to do what we should and avoid what we shouldn't "The Grace comes from Christ" John 1:17. From a vigorous prayer life, we receive grace upon grace. John 1:16.

 Start with the end goal in mind. Gain alignment on what needs to be done. With the end goal in mind develop strategy by focusing on identified strengths and gaps. The next step of a deep dive is to address the gaps. No progress if only a hazy goal. Having ambition - To triple growth - A bold target. Project with a clear shape and form to break the challenge down to a granular level. The way towards building a strong strategy that can orient the actions and guide execution with a clear direction.

 Fight hard enough for happiness. Appreciate all the world has to offer. Brighten another person's life. Happiness of giving. A perfectly imperfect marriage. Failure molding you to be the best version of you. No adversity... only opportunity. No disability...only a different ability. Think life is hard and unfair? Take another hard look at it again. Realize how blessed you are. Happiness lies in gratitude. Anticipate a customer's problem motivates him to call you.
