I hardly remember exactly when and how did I start to know about one of my mentors in life, Bo Sanchez. Well, he's a virtual mentor actually since I haven't personally met him. But since I started reading his articles, my thoughts in life have drastically changed and I started to dream big.
Way before, I wasn't very sociable and had very different opinions in life. I thought I had very critical views about other people and at the same time, I thought they did not understand me at all. I felt I was an outsider and therefore I was a snob. I also felt extremely purposeless. My mother pushed me, let me repeat that, she forced me to join Singles for Christ! And there, everyday was like a torture to me! Very extremely unsociable and introvert girl joining a group like that, what did everybody expect?! But there in SFC were some really crazy stuff, well that was what I thought, that they made me do and I survived! The journey to becoming a member was finally over and baptism came. Each new member was asked what gifts from the Holy Spirit would he or she liked. It's in the bible, Corinthians I think and I kinda like this book. Anyway, I chose wisdom. And the journey began...

I believe that that gift was really given to me. I craved and thirsted for it. I wanted to know more about life. I wanted to feel life. I wanted to understand about my religion more importantly my spirituality. I wanted to reach my dreams. I wanted to know my purpose, my mission in life. Not knowing the all these things in life was very painful and I decided that I should start looking for these.

Why I want to become truly rich? The answers to this question have become my goals in life. I mean they're the things that guide my journey called again as life. Bo Sanchez writes so many articles, he calls them practical soulfood, that make me say, "Of course" or "Why haven't I thought about that", or "I knew that!".
So before, I didn't know how to budget. I would buy anything I really want even if that meant no more budget for food and zero balance on my account and pay day was still days ahead. Now, I do the way my mentor budgets his money, the 10%, 20%, and 70% and I'm so happy for myself! I'm so glad I can tithe, I can invest and save, and I can give to my family minus the anger and sulking...
I now dream specifically. That's what my mentor again said, to put details on your dreams. I have big dreams. Some so big I don't know how to really get there but I got specifics in my head. I list my dreams down and I read them everyday, er, almost everyday (sorry I get sumpong every now and then).
Bo Sanchez says that people are blessing magnets. I now know that the universe has ears and that it's like a restaurant you know where people order food :). I mean, I believe that whatever I order, I get, that my thoughts and words have power, that I manifest the power to attract to me the things that I want or not want by just declaring it all religiously. So now, I'm very careful of the words that would come out of my mouth. Also, now I believe it's better not to be realistic. You see, I don't anymore say "I'm poor". I now say "I'm getting ready to be rich" (from my mentor). I say "I'm saving up" instead of "but I don't have money". Complainers get what they complain about (from my mentor again).
Then one of the most important things I learned and still keep learning from my mentor is about Jesus Christ, that this God is extremely generous, loving, happy, and friendly. I now believe that God already put all the blessings here on earth, that all people need to do is to ready themselves to receive those blessings.
Every time I wanted something, I would listen to my heart because my heart would surely know the right time to receive that something.
Then just recently, I met again another mentor. His name is Jomar Hilario. He is now teaching me, again virtually, to earn online. I'm enjoying it. The lessons overwhelm me most of the time but I'm having fun I mean I'm blogging now :).
I've been asking God to help me rediscover my core gift because I totally forgot and it's killing me that I still don't know it yet. But now I think I know what I should do. I mean I will live by the present and I will work with what I have.
I will become truly rich! Thanks to my mentors!
