43 Days More - The Super Amazing Power of Choosing



We already distributed our shirts!!! Wohoooo!!
It's June 18 and we distributed our shirts in a middle of a concert Fete de la Musique held at the Ayala Terraces! Imagine, with super cool bands, and all the lights and all the crowd. (Actually, we never thought that there would be a concert held on that day! Great!) 
And you know,  how many came?

ONLY 6!

Of the 20 who ordered only 6 came! Imagine?

Not bad for starters eh?
We didn't really expect that a only this few came but hey, we had one great mini reunion. We really had a lot of catching up to do with our classmates back in the seminary. Talkin' about the good ol' days is just wonderful!

You see, we really are very optimistic of this. We would really say to ourselves, nothing can stop us! 
Dro was even running on time because our printer started working on it 6 hours before the scheduled release due to some setbacks. We released the shirts an hour late of our set schedule. But still we are positive that we'll find a way of having these picked up. Discouragement is not in our vocabulary!

Today, I choose to CHOSE. 

No matter what happens, bad or good, it's still up to me on what would I do about it. This is one great lesson I learned when I got a copy of Zig Ziglar's book, Top Performance...

In life we chose, whether to react to life - which is negative. Like for example, if the doctor said that the medicine you took reacted on you then that's not a good symptom. But if we respond to life - which is positive then it's the other way around. When the doctor says that you respond to your medicine, then that's an indication that you are healing. 

So no matter what happens in this shirt business, we would respond to it no matter what! People not showing up, messy prints, cellphone loads going zero, we won't react, we respond! And for me, this is the best way to succeed in business, and also in life.

(I started applying this today at work, and hey, with all the headaches lately of peoples attitudes, today was brighter!)

So how about you, will you respond or will you react?
