If you want to finish a whole season of a Netflix show or any videos uploaded online in half, or even quarter of the time, I have a great hack for you. Given the gift of time, we have more time to spend doing things that we don’t usually do, and that includes watching a few more shows on the internet. If you want to watch your shows in 2x speed, Youtube by default already…
It was my daughter’s birthday yesterday and what I will be writing today is about that. We ordered her favorite toy from UK for her birthday gift without noticing that the delivery time might be longer than usual and might not make it before her birthday. Since she really likes it, what we did was to pray for it to be delivered in time. This is also our way of telling her that there’s nothing…
I know it’s hard not to worry about the future, I’m a worrier myself, but what I’m practicing right now is liberating. Instead of worrying about tomorrow, I pray for what I wanted the day before ending it with may Your will be done. Instead of worrying about today, I pray for God to surprise me as to what gift he will give me today. Instead of being guilty about the past, I ask for…
When I was still teaching drums about 15 years ago, I had a student who was older than me and he asked the question, will I still be able to learn to play the drums? My answer was; as long as you are still breathing, you have the opportunity to learn, so it is up to you if you will learn. If you are thinking of learning something new, don’t let your age, your condition,…
Before we do our evening family prayer, we talk about the things we are grateful for and I’m so happy to see my daughter really thinking about what she is grateful for and sharing it with us. Since every Monday is #gratitudemondays, starting today, I will share what I am grateful for. Today, I am grateful for having the resources to be able to pursue my passion which is playing music, specifically playing the drums.…
It is probably one of the best sayings I’ve heard in a while and the most powerful if we aspire to lead others to Christ. Evangelization is not about us but it’s all about Jesus. If we want to evangelize people, we tell them about our experiences and testimonies rather than telling them they should do this, do that, pray this and pray that. Just like how we found food, let us try to lead…
Giving without expecting something in return is probably the most repeated sayings in our household. Mind you, it’s hard to live by especially if you are coming from a place of scarcity. I used to come from that mindset and it is tiring. If you come from a place of abundance, you’ll hardly expect something in return. Expectations although good in some scenarios like goal setting is not as effective when helping someone. So the…
A few years ago, I always thought that resting is for the weak, now I realize is that resting is for the smart. Just like athletes need to rest their battered bodies and mind, we as normal human beings need rest too. Do not feel guilty not doing anything, because if you are such a doer, doing nothing is actually a lot of work. Rest. Everyone deserves it. Be happy!
When I was just starting out my coaching journey, I have no idea what intuition is although I might have been using it all my life. Intuition, some people call it gut feeling, some call it instinct but whatever it is for you, at one point in your life, I’m quite sure you’ve used it too. Fast forward to today, I am using my intuition as much as possible especially if I am not sure…
