Sabay lang binili ang mga cactus na to, pero bakit kaya magkaiba ang naging height nila after a couple of months? 🌵 🌵

It’s probably because the taller one has been exposed outside with fresh air & sunlight (and some extra care) 🌞

While the other one was placed inside a room kinda neglected.

It’s the same with us,
Environment plays a big role in our growth

Are you living up to your full potential? 💪

Or are you being limited because of the environment that you’re in?

Most of us have read quotes like:

“You are the average of the 5 people you are always with.” 🧍‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏼‍♂️🧍🏽‍♂️🧍🏾‍♂️🧍🏿‍♂️

“Birds of the same feather flock together.” 🦅

“Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are.”

Madami pang quotes that will tell you to be mindful of the people you hang out with.

Proximity is power! 💥

You wanna be a Millionaire? 💰
Sino sa madalas mong kasama ang Milyonaro?

You want to have a Business?
sinong kilala mong negosyante?

You want to pass the Board Exam?
Bakit sumasama ka pa sa nagyayaya sayo lagi mag Valorant? 🔫

You want to lose weight?
And yet you spend alot of time with friends who loves Milk Tea and samgyeopsal?

Actually kahit di mo sila kasama, kung ang setup naman ng environment mo ay mali,
I promise you are bound to fail with that setup.

For example you plan to lose weight, and yet your fridge is filled with all your favorite foods, makalimot ka lang ng 1 second nasa bibig mo na yung Hershey’s Kisses, alangan naman iluwa mopa sayang naman. 🤣

If you have big goals, 🥅
Then don’t spend time with small minded people because they will laugh at your Goals.

While people who are in the same mission as you will cheer for you!
Infact the ones who were able to accomplish that same goal will encourage you and tell you that You CAN DO it too.

Chito Miranda : Nung nagsisimula pa lang kami bilang banda, di kami binabayaran para tumugtog.

Like most bands sa underground/indie music scene nung time na yun, wala kaming talent fee.

Masaya na kami basta makatugtog kung saan saan, kahit walang bayad.

Sa katunayan, abonado pa nga kami kasi sagot namin ang pamasahe namin papuntang gigs (or sagot ni Dindin yung gas kasi may kotse sya hehe), at sagot din namin yung pagkain at drinks namin kung saan man kami tutugtog.

We did that for years.

The 1st time we got paid was at Club Dredd. Naimbitahan kami bilang front act, and we agreed to play for free as usual, but after playing, the owner (Patrick Reidenbach) decided to pay us P300.

I guess natuwa sya sa amin.

Either that, or naawa lang talaga sya. Kasi ang sabi nya sa amin, "gamitin ninyo yan pang-practice".

P300 meant 3 hours na practice time sa Alberto's Band Rehearsal Studio.

After a few more months, we got paid again.

This time we got P800.

And this was during the so-called "Golden Age" of Pinoy Bands nung 90's.

We weren't earning at all but we couldn't care less. We had no money to buy our own instruments, but we kept on playing. We had no intentions of quitting school (or in Dar's case: his day job), and hindi namin inisip na kelangan kumita kami sa pagbabanda.

We did it simply because it was fun.

1996 nung naglabas kami ng album. 1997 na nung unang nakabili ng sariling gitara si Gab worth P6000.

Can you imagine? 4 years na kaming tumutugtog, at 1 year na kaming may album, bago kami mabayaran ng enough money para maka-afford ng sariling gitara si Gab.

Si Gloc nga dati, nakakadalawang album na, pero nagtatrabaho pa rin sya bilang waiter. Pero di sya sumuko. He focused on what he wanted to achieve and worked hard for it. (ngayon kaya na nya bilin yung restaurant. hehe!)

Ganun kasi talaga yun. Kelangan mo paghirapan.

Kung mataas ang pangarap mo, then you need to work harder than everyone else...kasi kung ganun lang kadali yun, then everyone else would be doing it.

Ganun din sa pag nenegosyo, madalas sa umpisa lugi ka dahil puro ka abono. At hindi palaging bawi agad ang pinuhunan mo. Minsan few years ang bibilangin. Pero kung mahal mo ang ginagawa mo, mas magiging magaan ang operations.

By age 25 You should be smart enough to realize this:

1.. Stay silent. Not everything needs to be said.

2.. Silence is better than unnecessary drama.

3.. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete. Competition is a weakness.

4.. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

5.. Your current job doesn't care about you. They only pay you enough to kill your dreams.

6.. Free yourself from society's advice, most of them have no idea of what they're doing.

7.. Influence most people drift through life. They have no purpose, no direction, and zero intent. Learn their needs. Lead them.

8. It's better to have 1 friend who's;

Happy for you
Supports your win
Encourage your dreams
Than a bunch of acquittances who are

Lazy
Self-centered
Jealous of your success

9. You'll be 10x happier if you forgive your parents and stop blaming them.

10. No one will ever come save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility.

11.Your inner circle should be more focused on your faith to God, starting a family and success.

12.You don't need 100 self-help books. All you need is actions and self-discipline.

Believe in your heart and soul that you are capable of big things in your life.

The only thing that is standing in your way is yourself.

Bakit nga ba nag papa picture tayo sa hindi natin afford?

Bukod sa na appreciate ko yung bagay na iyon

Siguro sa iba kalokohan or kayabangan

And for me.

Sabi ng isang mentor ko

Learn swim with the sharks

I adopt ko yung anong meron sa kanila

Sumama ka sa mga ahead sayo

Yung tunay na matutunan ka,

Itanong natin sa kanila kung paano nila nagawa,

Umupo sa mga bagay na meron sila na wala ka.

Pumikit ka at ifeel mo yung mga bagay na iyon

At gawin mong inspiration and fuel para mag sikap

We’re all the same meron silang 24hrs per day

And also us.

The thing is kung ano yung values and pagsisikap na ginagawa nila

dapat iadopt ko at i copy

And consistency is the key.

TRY WHAT OTHERS ARE AFRAID OF DOING

A general life ethos for all,

As long as it doesn't harm you or anyone,

Do it, try it.

It's better to fail 10 times and hit once,

Rather than you waiting for that 1 grand opporunitity.

That once in a lifetime opportunity will never come if you don't ever try anything.

The first step is always to try something.

Opportunities and success only comes to those who try

Sabi nga sa Movie na " A Most Violent Year ( 2014 )"

"When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can't do."

True Humility and Wisdom

God granted King Solomon, the great King of Israel, wisdom beyond measure. From this, King Solomon penned much of the book of Proverbs, providing insight and knowledge regarding right living before God.

Solomon begins the book of Proverbs with this statement:

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7 ESV

He repeats this truth in our Verse of the Day:

“The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.”
Proverbs 22:4 ESV

King Solomon had more riches than we can imagine. He was honored among the nations and had a full and prosperous life. We might not be kings, but the truth of this statement is timeless.

Hundreds of years later, Paul wrote a prayer for the Christians in his letter to the Ephesians that can provide context for Proverbs 22:4.

“…the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe … ”
Ephesians 1:17-19 ESV

His prayer teaches us that by coming to God and His Word with humility, God will give us spiritual wisdom and knowledge. And because of our faith in Him, God honors us and gives us riches that only come with belonging in Christ Jesus. He blesses us because of His great love.

It is through humility and a holy fear of God that we receive His promises of riches, honor, and life. Some of those promises will come to pass on earth, but all of them will be fulfilled when Jesus returns one day. And as we see the fulfillment of God’s promises, our response will be to give God the glory.

Good morning🧡

Naranasan mo na bang matambakan ng pagkarami-raming trabaho at di mo na alam kung ano ang uunahin mo? Being too stressed and tired oftentimes blur our priorities and vision. Kaya kapag overwhelmed ka na sa dami ng responsibilidad at gawain, panahon na para ikaw ay huminto at muling magfocus.

Ang taong focused sa kanyang trabaho ay mas productive kaysa sa taong napakaraming pinagkakaabalahan pero wala namang natatapos. Lahat naman tayo ay may limitadong panahon lamang. Kung gusto mong maging matalino sa paggamit ng iyong oras, kailangang-kailangan na matuto kang mag-focus. Saan naman tayo dapat magfocus?

1) Focus on your priorities. Napakahalagang maglaan ng ilang sandali sa simula ng araw mo para i-identify at i-review kung ano ang mga trabahong dapat mong unahin at tutukan. When you know your priorities it becomes easier to stay focused. Ang sabi ni Andy Stanley sa kanyang aklat na The Principle of Path: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be “We don’t drift in good directions. We discipline and prioritize ourselves there.”

2) Focus on your work. Hindi naman masama ang mag-sideline. Kung talagang hindi mapagkasya ang iyong sweldo pantustos sa mga pangangailangan ng pamilya mo, talagang kailangang mayroon kang iba bang sources of income. But make sure that your sideline does not make you lose your focus on your full-time work. Ang sabi nga ni
Alexander Graham Bell, "Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus."

3) Focus on your relationship with God. Isang quotation mula sa "Our Daily Bread" ay ganito ang sinasabi, "The only way to see life clearly is to focus on Christ." Sa isang seminar na aking ibinigay sa ilang kawani ng gobyerno na malapit ng magretiro, tinanong ko sila kung ano ang kanilang plano kapag retired na sila. Marami ang nagsabing, magiging seryoso na sila sa kanilang relationship sa Diyos. Di mo kailangang maghintay ng retirement age bago mo bigyang pansin o halaga ang ugnayan mo sa Diyos. Di nga ba't ang paalala sa atin sa Matthew 6:33 ay "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.". Kapag naka-focus sa Diyos ang ating buhay, your priorities become clearer and your work more meaningful and happier.

Mahalaga na tayo ay may right focus. Focus on your priorities, focus on your work and focus on your relationship with God.

Focus Is Important
