Making Money and Dreams

Syempre pa gusto ko rin magka-pera at yumaman.

I want to be rich, who doesn't, right?

Wouldn't you pick-up all those books on "how to be a millionaire", "how to be rich in an instant", "how to meet a rich partner in life", etc.

Well, I'm fond of going to the bookstore to be with books, to look at them, go over the covers and flip the pages of the ones with interesting titles and authors.

What do you know, I came across a bookshelf dedicated to books written by Bo Sanchez. I know the guy because of his reader-friendly books. I buy his books and a couple are still to be read.

I went to the shelf and picked-up the gold-covered book "8 Secrets of the Truly Rich". Why not? I like the gold cover, the words "Secret" and "Rich" and I love the author, hmmmmm. Okay, buy . . . buy. "I like, I buy, heheh."

To my astonishment, I read the book cover-to-cover in a day and with comprehension, mind you. Also to my repeat astonishment, I was able to apply the easy-to-follow, easy-to-understand, easy-to-recall tips in the book. If you forget anything, it is quick to go back to reading the portions of the book.

What is it that struck me?

Dreams, yup, dreams.

I'm not that young. I have been through a lot, failures and accomplishments accounted for. However, in some point in my life, I realized I have stopped dreaming . . . dreaming big dreams . . . impossible dreams.

In his book, Bo details his suggestions on writing down one's dreams and reading them daily. That's how you get committed to the dreams.

Viola! I started to write 10 of my big dreams after finishing the book. I placed a copy at the last page of my "prayer clear book". (I have a clear book where I inserted my daily prayers plus my dreams). This way, when I pray, I get to include my dreams when I read them.

. . . dreams do come true . . .

I have some dreams coming true and others on their way to coming true. Wow, isn't it. "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." That's what I read too.

From what I've learned, we have to want to be rich to be able to give, for we cannot give what we do not have.

Bo challenges us. Earn to give.

By the way, thanks Bro. Bo for giving yourself to us. You are such a blessing! Amen.
