i love reading books…right now, on my bedside is the book Decision Making and God’s will. I am really learning a lot from it
especially on practical ways of applying God’s word in my daily situation. The bottom line is still praying and reading God’s word
to know his will. The book im reading however give’s a very clear explanation of what can be found as guidelines, commands directly
from God’s word, and what can’t be found. Like the word doesnt give you driving direction to a place you want to go, rather God gives wisdom from the bible so that
you will know what to do when you are lost or need road direction.
I believe the bible provides all direction we need to succeed in life, but some of it doesnt speak of
examples we can emulate, or direct instruction to follow, instead, it teaches principles to apply in making a decision.
Thanks to Andy who gave me this book.

I have been meeting people the last few days who are living a great life at retirement time and they shared with me why.
One is Ma’am V who just acquired a $ 600K luxury condo and Sir F who bought at least 3 vacation condotels and buying more.
They have travelled the world with their families spending quality time and love and keep travelling to this day and have sent their children to ivy league schools. Also, they own a lot of rental properties in America, Canada, Mexico, Caribean and now have been investing in the Philippines. They are both Filipinos.
They say it all boils down to “SAVING”, consistently.
Today as i open the net to check my mail, i saw this link on Yahoo’s front page. This explains in figures what we
should be saving to be able to travel and have investments in the future and have a great retirement.
Based on the article, I should be saving at least $671 a month…check how much should you save to have a $1 Million on retirement.
Similarly, author Al Sembrano who wrote 10 Secrets of the rich say the same thing… You can
get his book at any National Bookstore, Powerbooks or online at http://sikreto.com

I enjoy reading, I believe that one of the best ways to learn from others experiences is by reading books. We can’t meet all the people we want to learn from, but we can surely buy the books they wrote that tells us their story or shares their perspectives that can help us view life and our situation in a different way. I am currently reading (again) the book that Kuya Boy Magnaye gave me, I really appreciate their family who has always been a blessing to me and my family too. Thanks to Laurie-Len, kuya Boy’s sister who brought it from California.
I am learning about the reasons why we really must tap and use our potentials! And that the environment and the people we live in and hang around with matters a lot with respect to achieving our goals. We must be at the right place, at the right time and with the right people, and most of have the right mindset. This book Living life without limits by TD Jakes captures the essence and importance of having all the God desired for us! You and I have a purpose and a destiny to live! It’s a must read.
