How To Live A Wonderful Life


Yes, You Can Make Blessings Happen Everyday.


Marowe was interviewed on TV yesterday.


Bishop Tagle’s show on ABC-5 wanted to ask her some questions. So they sent a TV crew to the house, complete with lights, cameras, and a truckload of stuff.


Obviously, that doesn’t appeal to her at all. Being interviewed on TV is as appealing to her as being trapped in a steel cage with a thousand giant tarantulas crawling all over her body.


She doesn’t like the spotlight. She has never given a talk in her entire life. (Okay, that’s not true. Once, she was asked to give an 8-minute talk to kindergarten kids. Two weeks before that talk, she was so stressed, I couldn’t talk to her.)


In the TV interview, she was asked a question that she has heard a hundred times before. “How is it like being married to the Bo Sanchez?”


This morning, she was so relieved that the interview was over, she hugged me and giggled, “Bo, doesn’t anyone ever ask you, How is it like being married to the Marowe Sanchez?”


“No one,” I smiled, “but if someone were to ask me, I’d say, absolutely wonderful and phenomenal and fantastic.”


It’s really true.


Not just my family life though.


My whole life is really wonderful.


Today, it’s popular to be a little angsty. “Teenage angst” is very “in” today, even among 40 year olds who still think they’re teenagers. And you see it in how they look—black nail polish, black circles around their eyes, and a cigarette in their black lips. You’d rarely see them smile. (Don’t get me wrong. It’s not the style that bothers me. You can wear black all you want. It’s the negative, surly, snobbish attitude that steals a lot of life from them.)


Some Christians have their own version of holy angst. These good-hearted people like to focus on their sufferings as a way of pleasing God. They like to moan and groan about how difficult life is, thinking they earn brownie points in Heaven.


Sheesh.


Well, excuse me, but I don’t have angst.


I’m happy with my life.


Each day, I wake up expecting miracles to happen.


I also expect the sun to rise, the day to be lovely, and my friends to be terrific. And most of the time, that’s exactly how it happens.


Sure, once in a while, it doesn’t happen that way. Hey, I can’t win all the time. That’s okay. All I have to do is wait for the next beautiful morning.


Don’t get me wrong. I’ve got problems.


But here’s the key: I don’t focus on them.


I acknowledge that they’re there. But I move on and focus on my blessings instead.


Because I believe my mind is a magnet.


Thoughts attract.


If I always think of my blessings, I attract more blessings.


If I always think of my problems, I attract more problems.


Dear friends, I pray that you attract more blessings in your life today.


May your dreams come true,


Bo Sanchez

PS3. Bo will be going to London and Scotland on June 17-22, 2008. E-mail Chelle at chelle.crisanto@gmail.com if you wish to help organize a Feast in those areas.



PS4. Do you want to earn money through your own business? And do you want to earn money through the internet? This February, two powerful seminars can change your financial life!


If you’re an entrepreneur (or would like to be one), save yourself from costly mistakes! On February 8 & 9, Rudy Torres and Bo Sanchez will give the Truly Rich Super Direct Marketing Program! (Why Marketing? It’s the lifeblood of all businesses. Most businesses fail because of poor marketing.) Who is Rudy Torres? He’s a Marketing Guru who grossed P9M just by marketing one product in 9 months—all by himself! Rudy will teach you the same powerful strategies that he used that can supercharge your own business. What can easily cost you P125,000 if you attended similar direct marketing seminars, you can now get for P9750 only! We have brought the price down to serve more people. (Special Couples or Business Partners Price is P8750 only per person.)


And if you want to earn money through the internet, then this is what you’ve been waiting for. On February 15 & 16, Jomar Hilario and Bo Sanchez will give the Truly Rich Hands-On Internet Marketing Workshop. Why hands-on? By the end of the workshop, you will already have a working website that will start earning money for you. Jomar Hilario is the young man who sold P2M worth of tickets for a concert—all done in 30 days—just by using email. A Seminar like this without the “hands-on” part will cost you P85,000 per person in the US. You can now get that same seminar—plus hands-on coaching (value: priceless) for P9750 only. (Special Couples or Business Partners Price is P8750 only per person!)


Attention: “2 Seminars” Special Price! Because both seminars will greatly increase your chances of business success! Instead of paying P19,500 for both seminars, you will only invest P15,500 per person! (Your BIG Savings: P4,000.00!)


Crazy-Double-Your-Money” Guarantee: If within one year, you don’t earn at least double what you invested for these seminars, we’ll return your money, PLUS P2,000 extra for your lost time in trying out the seminar—no questions asked! That’s how much we believe these seminars will make you succeed!


Note: We highly encourage all participants of any of these two seminars to change their financial mindsets by joining Bo Sanchez’ How To Be Truly Rich Seminar on February 2, 8:30am-12:00noon. (P475 only).


For reservations, call Beckie at (02) 7229562 (Tuesdays-Fridays 9:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m.) or email her at beaconlightevents@gmail.com now. Note: For early birds, save an extra P500 per person! Call now.

  9. Hi Bo, Sometimes you can never really put away your feeling of depression as easily as others would like to think. Its hard to say everythings okay while deep inside you know it isn't. But I can get away from it all even for only a few hours just because of my reading some of your articles. Please dont get tired inspiring other people with your soul-uplifting messages. Hope I could come to your seminars soon. God Bless You always.

    i like this part... yes, we are all truly blessed! we are given every chance to be at peace amidst of whatever situation and circumstances in our life because we had our Father.

  18. Hi Bro. Bo,
    Thanks so much for this inspiring message. Frank Sinatra sings, " Fairy tales can come true, it could happen to you, if you're young at heart..." Yes, i agree , if we focus more on the good things in life, at least life would be a " fairy tale ". They say, if we think much of our problems, we will look older. So why not stay young and think of the good times, good health, good family, good friends and all the good things God has given us. Then Frank S. would be right, we could be " young at heart " and be happy!
    Thanks once more.
    God bless you and your family always.

  20. greetings brother bo,

    let me thank you for saving my life by just my reading your beautiful book (8 secrets of the truly rich) and browsing through your inspirational talks and articles in the net. it made me realize how wrong i am on how i look at life and how i should go about it in this world. bo i've sufferred a lot of hurts and mistakes and loses in my life, from financial to even losing my wife to someone else. but through your works, i saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and now here i am! embracing the goodness and blessings from God that come before me, everyday. it may not be always be a good day, but at least my outlook has changed and shifted, and i now how some tools to battle my usual everyday jitters and stress, i do not allow them anymore to conquer me and take away my joy. it's not easy but i know someday i'll get there completely and in full battle gear. thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for being an instrument of the Lord for saving me. god bless you and your ministry.

    sincerely, monchit

    p.s. just in case do you do a one on one counseling? or maybe even over a cup of coffe chit-chat? please advise po. salamat po muli.

  24. dear bro. Bo,

    Thanks so much for making my day again and again..and again..

    Amidst my seemingly endless financial crisis, just reading your articles and your "God's Daily Word", would be enough to pacify the "angst" of being deep into debt.

    Somehow I am trying to reverse my deepest worries into pure joy..knowing with GOD all will be well.

    Thanks again and GOD bless!!

  25. bo, i just have one question maybe you can help me figure out:
    why do we have to live and suffer from things and what’s the end of it all?

    i shouldn’t be asking this. i should have faith. and i should at least have a positive idea on things i cannot change, control and fully change, but i just wonder. thanks very much hope to read from you…

  29. Bro. Bo

    I carry a heavy loads (financially, emotionally & spiritually) that almost every single day of my life hope is nowhere to be found. I manage to smile though I am aching inside. At other times, I wear different kind of mask to cover up the tears in my heart . I even remember the day I ran, badly looking for somebody to talk with but .... I find no one except GOD. Whew PRAISE GOD the day you were born. You're such an inspiration. Keep empowering people's lives through your great works of preaching, your books, tv programs etc. I am not wondering why God showers you HIS endless blessing because lots & lots of people are also praying for you because you yourself is already a blessing to them & that includes me. Thank You sooooooooooooo much! More power. Keep on smiling......

  30. Hi Bro Bo,

    This is another article of yours that really hit me "bull's eye" -- as always! I've been through so much over the past month that I even sometimes ask God why He wants me to suffer. I even get to the point that I feel jealous of my friends who got whatever they want very easily while me...

    Thanks to the the daily reflections in didache and the daily messages sent to my e-mail which have always lifted me out of these negative thoughts and feeling. It always inspired me to get up and offer everything to HIM in full trust and confidence to HIS goodness.

    So now, I wil make it a habit to count my blessings always and not my problems...so that I will attract more blessings from HIM.

    Once again, thank you for being a great instrument in our quest for spiritual growth..

    God bless you always!

  39. Hi Kuya Bo & Ate Marowe!

    Hope you dont mind me calling you kuya & ate. You see, we had this company sponsored financial wellness seminar and towards the end, the speaker talked about the so-called 'law of attraction' as being the most powerful and blatant law in the universe. And here, i saw your blog about attracting more of what's in our minds. I loved it and eversince that seminar, im trying super hard to ward off any negative thoughts from my mind and surprisingly, my feeling of depression is slowly easing out. it's still here but going away slowly. taking everything on a day-to-day basis.

    i am also trying the wonderful 'trick' of claiming all of the things i want and need and every hoped for. better career, financial wellness, and yes, even the guy that i've been pining for for 4 long years. i believe it will work.

    thank you and sobrang thanks kay Papa God for the two of you.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks for inspiring me through your words. I've read a book "The Secret" and i think its really true that we should practice the law of attraction. We have to focus on what we want and not on the things that we don't want. Thank again I'll leave you a quotable quote from "The Secret" "Affirmative thought is a hundred times powerful than a negative thought"

    ReplyDelete
  41. that's great advice bro. bo! i pray that people will focus on their blessings instead of their incredible expectations, then they will realize how blessed they really are. if you want to know how blessed i am log on to my website: www.deathtomycreditcards.blogspot.com

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yeah, you're soooo right! Think of receiving blessings and attract more blessings! That's the Law of Attraction alright.

    I've read your book How to Find Your One True Love. It was "fact-ually entertaining" and I have passed the book on to my Singaporean friend. She in turn passed in on to her younger sister who passed it on to a cousin (serious!). When we were analyzing a guy-friend's next move, my friend said, "Didn't you read the book, he said..."

    I've also read Truly Rich and all set to be a mililionaire. So when are you coming to Singapore to give the seminar? I hope it is soon.

    All the best to you and your family.

Thank you for inspiring me today, i am very much problematic now because i just got retrenched from my previous job and its very hard to find a new one because of recession.. but because im reading your articles everyday i developed a positive mind...that in situations like this happiness is not a chance but its a choice, also i understand that eventhough you cannot change a situation you can always change your attitude towards that bad situation...before i think that the Lord forsakes me because he made me jobless but now i realize that he loves me so much that he even save me not to stay from my previous job because there's a better job and life for me...Thank brother bo, you are God's gift to all of us...THANK YOU!
