Dear God,
When I stand at the beginning
of a new day, bless me with vision
to see the best of things to come...
Wisdom to make good decisions...
and most of all, faith that you are
walking with me every step of the
way. Amen.

What are the daily habits of billionaires?
ABS-CBNnews.com
MANILA, Philippines – The world’s richest and most successful people also get 24 hours a day, but what do they do in those hours that define their success?
ANC’s financial advisor Salve Duplito said the world’s richest man, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, uses most of his hours reading the Wall St. Journal, New York Times and the Economist.
The 58-year-old Gates also reads at least 100 emails per day.
His net worth is estimated at $76 billion, according to Forbes.
Carlos Slim, the second richest man in the world, wakes up early every day to drive himself to work.
The Mexican business magnate also personally makes daily phone calls to his associates.
His net worth is valued at $72 billion.
Zara’s Amancio Ortega, meanwhile, goes to the same coffee shop everyday, wears simple clothes, and eats lunch with his employees in the company canteen.
Like Slim, American billionaire Warren Buffett also drives himself to work everyday, and at 83 years old, he still arrives at his desk like clockwork at 8:30 a.m.
Duplito, citing Thomas Corley’s book Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, said although the wealthy come from widely different backgrounds, studies show that they have common habits that separate them from those living in poverty.
Among these habits are waking up early, reading, and writing down goals.
According to Corley’s study, 44% of the wealthy wakes up 3 hours before work while only 3% of the poor do so.
Reading is also a habit of the wealthy with 86% of them reading reams of information on a daily basis compared to only 26% of the poor.
Most wealthy and successful individuals spend their reading time of at least 30 minutes or more each day for education and career.
Wealthy people are also more goal-oriented, studies show, with 81% of them maintaining a to-do list compared to only 19% of the poor.
Eighty percent of the wealthy and successful are also focused on achieving a single goal compared to 12% of the poor.
Corley’s study also showed that most wealthy people avoid watching reality TV compared to 78% of the poor that do.
Duplito noted that this is an indication that “the huge divide between the haves and the have-nots is not money, but the mindset.”
“Mindset is also the one thing that can help a poor person get out of poverty. If a person knows how not to live poor even when he doesn’t have cash, eventually success and wealth will be well within his reach,” she added.

Inspirational Thought...
God will sometimes break the
strongest bone in our life
where we think we are very
strong.
So that from then on, we will
say that the strongest part of
who we are is GOD...
not our career, not our love
life, not our family, nor our
friends, not who we are.
But GOD Alone!

Be thankful....
Be thankful that sunrises and
sunsets are free, or else we
couldn't afford them.
Be thankful that behind every
storm is surely the rainbow
of hope and future sunshine.
Be thankful for our mistakes,
life would be boring if we
are all perfect.
Be thankful for stress so that
we be reminded to relax and
balance our life.
Have a thousand reasons to
be thankful!

CRUMPLED MONEY
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill?”
Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you – but first, let me do this.”
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.
“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the
ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”
Still the hands went into the air.
“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by …WHO WE ARE.
You are special – don’t ever forget it

The Astronomer
An Astronomer used to walk every night to gaze upon the stars. It happened one night that, with his whole thoughts rapt up in the skies, he fell into a well. One who heard his cries ran up to him and said:
"While you are trying to pry into the mysteries of heaven, you overlook the common objects under your feet."
Moral lesson: We should never look so high as to miss seeing the things that are around us.
