Are You Single? It’s Good News!

Disclaimer: This article is not for everybody. This is for single people out there. If you have a partner at present, it’s good news. If you don’t have a partner yet, it’s also good news!

Confession, I’m a no-girlfriend-since-birth man. I really am! I was raised up to truly focus on my studies.

I remember my mom telling me “Son, study hard because [formal] education is the most important thing we can bestow upon you.”

Because I came from poor beginnings, I took my mom’s advice seriously. I understood what she was trying to point out to me. And so, I graduated First Honorable Mention in elementary and Salutatorian in high school. In college, I was listed in the Dean’s List in two of my eight semesters.

During my school days, I never courted a woman. Can you imagine how difficult it was for me AND for the girls around me? :)

But I did have crush to some of them.

When I started to work I said to myself, “Hey, school’s finished and I now earn my own money. I can court a woman I like!”

Then I saw myself constructing a plan, doing some research, interviewing people asking for their advice to court a friend. She’s beautiful, kind, down-to-earth and family centered.

But before the planning and researching stage, I normally visit her as a friend. We go out as friends. We talk and text over the phone as friends.

Then I blurted it out. I said, “I want to court you.” (One of the things I learned in leadership is to be clear to the people around you.)

She denied.

I pressed on. Of course I asked her “Why?”

But it didn’t take long and I stopped.

And then I was enlightened by a timely quote I read, “Just wait, the right one will come along. If they haven’t yet, maybe it’s because God wants you to love yourself more first.”

I realized that instead of spending my time with a single person at such a young age, I started to work on improving myself, my gifts and my talents.

I started to go to the gym to work out.

I lead people to serve patients for their medicine needs.

Last month, I attended seminar about Organic Farming (I dream of having one). And I encourage you even just to visit the farm. It’s awesome and amazing experience!

A few days ago, I bought the cheapest model of guitar from the music store. Because I didn’t have the time to study how to play the instrument years ago, I believe I now have it, the time. It is one of my fondest dreams to play “bahay kubo.” (Don’t laugh too hard).

This coming November, I’m scheduled to attend conference about entrepreneurship. I’m excited!

I focus on growing myself more, on taking time to care for myself.

Preacher Bo Sanchez keeps on talking about “love tank”. He said, “I believe that each of us has a ‘love tank’ from where we scoop up and dispense love to others.  If we keep on giving love to others, our love tanks will soon be empty—so we need to replenish that tank.”

If you’re single, use your time to discover more about yourself.

To grow as a person you dream to be.

To expand your territories. To serve more people.

To love yourself.

And I believe, soon you will attract the person harmonious for your life.

Have a blessed weekend!

Why We Need to Detoxify our Body, Emotion and Spirit?

This is the greatest time in all of human history to be alive.

One of my supreme goals is to live to be 100 years old. This is so that I can enjoy the very most that life has to give for the very longest possible time with excellent health, high levels of energy, and freedom from illness and disease of any kind.

Just a few days ago, I had the privilege to actually live inside an organic farm even for a short period of time. Almost everything there is organic.

The soil is organic. The fertilizer is organic. The plants are organic. The chickens are organic. The pigs are organic. The food is organic. Even the people living inside the farm are organic.

I’m not kidding! They eat and breathe organically.

And from what I observed, they are happy people.

Detoxify our Body

Back when I was studying, most of my college life, I lived alone in a room my family rented near the school.

Because I was alone, I did the laundry, maintained the room clean and cooked and washed the dishes.

Yes! I cooked my own breakfast. Can you believe that?

My breakfast usually is a cycle of fried hotdog, fried bacon, fried ham, fried hotdog, fried chicken nuggets, fried longanissa and… did I mention fried hotdog?

All were processed food. And I dreaded to eat vegetables.

That was me.

Today, fruits are part of my daily diet. And after that living-in-the-farm experience, I make it a point to eat vegetables. I realized I need meat as a source for my protein requirement, but vegetable is also important.

This helps me to be more energetic, more enthusiastic and more positive in my physical outlook.

But detoxifying our body alone is incomplete.

Detoxify our Emotions

Our emotion plays a role in the way we live our lives.

We might be healthy in our body but if our emotions are sick, our body will be sick as well. Just give it some time.

If all you do is imagine your fears everyday, guess what will happen into your body, it will give way and be sick as well.

If you’re sick in your beliefs, if you believe that you’re ugly, you’re no good, no one will like you, and no one will love you, your body will cave in and die as well.

I believe that we need to love ourselves and acknowledge our needs. We ought to have self love by allowing only positive and encouraging things into our lives.

Philosopher Zig Ziglar said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.”

Your mind is like a garden, if you do not deliberately plant flowers and tend carefully, weeds will grow without any encouragement at all.

We need to detoxify our body and emotions. But the last part is the most important dimension of our life to detoxify.

Detoxify our Spirit

Preacher Bo Sanchez said, “Spirit is the deepest part of you that is connected to God. When you are not connected to God, you have no peace, you have guilt, and you have burdens. And what happens, your body manifests all that guilt and manifest all that confusion. I’ve seen many people when they reconcile to God, when they repent on their sin, they get healed in their body. Slowly, diseases fall.”

May you live longer life. 

Have a blessed weekend!
