42 Days Left - Focus on My Preaching Skills



Things had been quite different lately, especially on the way I manage my work and my team. Like what I said, I'm now focusing on harnessing my skills in writing and preaching or putting it simply: touching lives.

As you know, we have been writing much on our upcoming book. So how about my preaching skills?

Simple, I give simple talks  to my people in anyway I can.

Every morning we have a pep-talk. And honestly for me, its just the most awaited part of my work! Pep-talk is where the whole team would gather around discuss what happened the previous day, share to them the events and plans, or any other important information dissemination. But instead of all these, what I do is to share them  stories, and positive inputs about work and about life and life purpose. Most of them came from not-so-well-off families. Financially struggling, and lack direction in life. And it's such a great feeling looking at them listening intently and seriously when I talk to them about life truths and principles!


My common topics would be that they are all  meant for greater things - living beyond the ordinary. I also give much emphasis on how important for me their tasks. All they have to do is to perfect their small tasks and responsibilities and leave the rest to me. As long as they perfect that then we can bring the whole team forward. I would keep on reminding them, for the past 8 monhts, if you can perfect the small things then can you be able to handle bigger things.

Improvements? Not much. Maybe it would really take enough time and individual focus. But what I'm confidently sure is I have made them uplift themselves from not just mere workers but team members. Plus, the respect I gained from them is assuring.

Aside from the pep-talks, I also shoot some simple truths if I can in our conversations. When they complain, give opinions, or start a talk, I always, in any way I can, inject to them something positive. Those moments that they would bow their head in silence and smile. Gotcha!

And so, instead of complaining on my work as in my other post, there's something I look forward to everyday. It may not be much, but the experience is gratifying. Plus, I get to focus on my life skills. Remember, what you focus on grows!

58 Days More - Jack of All of Trades , Master of None



I am very grateful that God created a creature like me. I can say that I can do a lot of things. Here's a few of them:
1. I can draw and paint
2. I play the guitar quite well
3. I can compose and arrange songs
4. I can create and edit videos and movies
5. I can act
6. I can write articles
7. I can speak in public
8. I can dance (?)
9. I can counsel and give a good advice
10. I can mold clays
11. I can clean a house superbly!

Looking at these, I have said that I can, but however I didn't say that "I am very good" at or "I master this and that".(By the way, if you're interested of my skills you can contact me and we could make some good business..hehehe)

Ideally, if you have a business it should be something where you can be very good at. It should be your forte. The aspect where you are the master. Lately, these days, I discovered what my forte is. I'm not sure yet but I'm having a strong hunch that it is.

Here are the top 5 of my abilities that I can say has the potential to be my "forte"
1. Drawing and Paint
2.Guitar and Music
3. Making Videos
4. Writing

Which among these can be a very great tool for me to inspire people being my life mission?
All.

However, which among these can I do all day without getting paid and still get good results?
Guitar and Music, Writing, Motivational Speaking.


However, which among the three can I see myself clearly where I can inspire a lot of people easily?


These two can be the very tools I can fulfill my mission in life. I still can't distinguish which of the two will stand out, but I've got a feeling they both come together. This two will be my focus for the next coming months. I haven't got any feedback of how good am I at public speaking but the feeling I get when I see peoples faces just astounds me. However, I'm really not confident of my writing skills but with Kuya and Jan's "discovery" and acknowledging of my capabilities high sky rocketed my enthusiasm. (Super Thanks!)

So let the door of words, thoughts, and speeches be formally open.
