Never too late to start a new adventure and make a dream come true.My mantra ever since. This is actually coming from my own experience. I never did let my age get in the way of my dreams. Imagine: transitioning careers at age 36. Starting from scratch. Experiencing rejections time and again because I was […]
Never hide. - Rayban One of the most memorable advertising campaigns I have ever worked on when I was still doing marketing and advertising for a living. Who would have known years later, the said tagline will still ring true? If you have been following me on social media or watching me go on-air for […]
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.So how many times have you heard this popular saying? In my case, I lost count. Seriously. Simply because, it's one thing I tell myself regularly when faced with uncertainty and challenging times. Part of my own set of affirmations, you may say. Come to think of […]
Question: what do you get from stressing over things, in general?Answer: None.So why do it time and again? Beats me. Haha! But seriously: do you find yourself so often worrying about alot of things that you feel so overwhelmed, unhappy and lost? This is because you are holding on to a lot of things (and […]
I have always loved writing.And this is an understatement. I fondly remember how I discovered my love for writing accidentally when I was tapped to join the school paper way back then in High School as a writer for the Sports Section. Me, in sports. Yes, I know. Haha! But that particular experience started it […]
You are exactly where you are meant to be.I always say this to my coachees and mentees so that they will learn to be comfortable in embracing the current space they're in, no matter how that looks like. I know, easier said than done. Much like being compassionate, or changing behaviors you have gotten used […]
Things don't go always as planned.And that's a fact. At the end of the day, there are things far beyond our control: the future, unforeseen situations, emerging trends and even the behavior of people, among others. And the lost of control over these things brings about "unwanted" change, most of which cause us stress and […]
Health is wealth.This is perhaps one of the sayings we all grew up with. I remember writing this down back then in grade school when I was answering a friend's autograph book (my, my, I missed this!). This alongside my other favorite motto then "time is gold." Haha! I am sure you can all relate. […]
Keep going. Keep growing.This has been my mantra since after I celebrated my 42nd better last August 12 in Bangkok. And yes, I had a grand time as I took my coaching hat off for almost two weeks and just let myself enjoy each and every moment with my loved ones during that trip. What […]
Based on actual experience: There will always be at least one person who will hate you for no reason at all, regardless if you're not doing anything wrong. Can relate? Quite factual actually. I have yet to be in a space where politics does not exist and gossiping is a thing of the past. And […]
Reflect on this: why does it seem harder to forgive ourselves than others when things go wrong?Interesting question right? But very much relatable. Oftentimes we beat ourselves up relentlessly whenever we experience failures, disappointments and unforeseen situations, most of which beyond our control. And as we do this, we forget this very important fact: that […]
Freedom is priceless.And that’s a fact. I have always believed that you cannot be truly happy unless you’re free. For the longest time, you have subscribed to what people around you and the society have imposed on you as your reality. A reality that fits you inside a box that has little or no room […]
