RESIGNATION LETTER

     I'm looking for my past resignation letter, but here what I found.....

Dear Manager I'm resigning effective immediate! The  reason for my resignation is what I found in my garage this morning before coming to work.

See for yourself........  

  

It is a beautiful pictures but actually it is a chain letter,  I removed that part because I believe that prayer will unchain not to chain you with a curse. Its all in the mind I talk to one of my spiritual director because I on my own experience how to cursed but He said curse is not real. So my dear friends if you focus your mind and energy for the things that you fear it will come true. So instead of focusing on the negative side...., have faith and believe that you can do all thing through Christ which strengtheneth you. (Philippians 4:13)

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Matthew 7:7)

Here is one of my favorite passage something to reflect on that you can apply to your everyday lives if you want to succeed in all aspect of your life 

James 2:14-26

Faith Without Works Is Dead

¹⁴ What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, whatdoes it profit? ¹⁷ Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

¹⁸ But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your^[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my^[b] works. ¹⁹ You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! ²⁰ But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?^[c]21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? ²² Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? ²³ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”^[d]And he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

²⁵ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

The Multiple Journey and a Detour to the Road Less Travel

   

Noel P. Bueza

Leo Meneses

 New beginnings set my mind to wake up early in the morning and find new opportunities. From South to North I travel a whole full day. After a whole day of walking on hills I went home. Then as I lie my body to rest I received an SMS from a friend of mine asking me if our proposed walking galore will pursue. Since I said yes last time even though half hearted I managed to regain my composure and wake those sleepy hormones. Ride a cab then went at our meeting place. Supposed to be we will go to SMX to visit the Sport and Wellness Festival but to my surprise she went to Megamall thinking that it is the venue. But since it is too late we just enjoy each others company even though we don't pursue our Plan A. But then there's a good purpose for everything and we tour around the area, we met a lucky charm vendor,hoping to be a new business partner. Then we went to Painting Exhibits that we try to elaborate each painting through  an artist view or our own interpretation? True enough as we enjoy that awesome self interpretation of those masterpiece our feet lead us to the "Magnanimity" Exhibit at Art Asia.We met in person the great artist  behind those master piece he is no other than Mr. Noel P. Bueza  a very humble and talented artist but talk liked  an ordinary man. As a curios fellow I ask him what is his inspiration in creating those master piece and he answer me diligently that it is the only talent that he has. For the head of the family who don't finish his study  there's no option but to enrich the only talent that he has to provide for his family that's going bigger that time with five children to support with. I understand where he is coming from because before we talk I hit the rock bottom that I nearly give up to the point of losing my life but thanks God I'm still alive and now I'm talking to one of the greatest artist in the Philippines. Listening to his story is a privilege because its like I'm attending the highest paid educational seminar but here I am getting it for free. And I was inspired to go on and used the talent that I have. Like Mr. Noel Bueza I have no option but to enrich the craft that I have. Since writing is my passion I have to improve it. And he also said that art appreciation is for everybody but to own a masterpiece is a different thing. I understand him but being in Sales and Marketing I learned  one thing that is; don't prejudge. I remember in one of our Seminar in Citibank the speaker told us to don't prejudge yes maybe that house helper is not qualified for the credit card but she might be  the lead so you can get clients.Also as a researcher  I learned that Class A to B very often or not talking to its neighbor because they have busy life, their house is built in with huge gate that they can't see their neighbor, they mind their own business. While the Class C to E are prone to gossip because they can easily reach their neighbor. The word of mouth for Class C to E is a great advertisement. That's why I learned that if you want to sell more, advertise your talent and merchandise; simply talk to a lot of people from all walks of life it will not only profit you financially but also help you in other aspect of your life.

   On that same event we also met Mr. Leo Meneses a master of his own craft.

That night I discover one thing,Philippines is not only reach with natural resources but also with talented artist. But what is the missing link why those talents turned to nothing ?

Like a broomstick let us help each other to conquer all hindrances by being united to do greater things. Because our good Lord  is a God of all great things.

TIME IS REALLY GOLD

   I was sick, alone and broke. Whom should I call for help nothing but my God.

I feel devastated thinking that I'm sick and nobody cares. On this moment I miss my family, because every time  I got sick when I'm home they take care of me. But now you have to take care of yourself or wait for your death. So my motto when I leave our house is "never got sick or you will seek and you will be forsaken!" 

     Thanks God for almost 10 years of leaving alone I manage myself not to mind if I'm sick or not.

After I fix myself and try to regain that power I look at my wallet and found out that I'm not only physically ill but also financially. So the consequences is its time to give up or rise after the storm. At first really I want to give up and left the things that I started but during those times that I never want to pray I just force myself to kneel down and ask. My God and my Father here I am so broke and empty. You are not only my God but my Father as well, you create all things  from the highest sky to the deepest core of an ocean including me if its Your will you can heal me and gave what I'm asking. I cried out loud on that empty room no one can hear but a dumb silence. I just cried, cried and cried after that heartfelt prayer. I regain my composure and look at the things that I have. I had still my life which means since I'm still alive and kicking, I can still do awesome things. A deep silence invoke the room.After that magical moments I organised the things that I have, cleaned my closet, fix my clothes, and I removed the extra baggage that are not important and ready to dispose. On that items for disposal I saw two wrist watch that I found no value because I don't use it. Because its not running  anymore but I just keep it for some reason. But now how I wish I could sell it to have food for that day. Even though I'm not sure if I can sell it or not I went outside and with faith that I can sell it. I confidently talk to the watchmaker and I said I want to sold my watch. He immediately inspect and ask me how much is the price I said 1,000.00 Pesos and he said "oh my dear we will still make it and the materials for this is hard to find because its the old model". To my surprise that watch that I don't gave any value has its own value. So the watchmaker bid it 50% of the price that I gave. I grab it to think that I really need the money. And I said I will get it the moment that I earned money. 

    That moment of reflection I examine myself literally I don't give value to that watch  but in reality yes I never give enough value of my time. I neglect many opportunities. That watch help me to value my time from that moment. Because time is really gold and you can never regain the lost seconds, minutes and hour, day, month and year. Let me borrow this quote from Mother Teresa “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”
