I had the privilege of listening to one of the country's top motivational speaker Ardy Abello at last Sunday's Church service. It was the first time for me to leave my 2-year old daughter Nicole at the kids class. As hard as it may seem, I mustered the courage to leave her without saying goodbye and take confidence in the teachers who were looking after her so I can listen to the message with my husband.
I first got to know Ardy as a trainor in John Maxwell's Building Winning Teams seminar which I attended in 2007 - that was one seminar all 20 of us company representatives would never forget for the fun, energy and learnings we had.
Wise and full of "clean" punchlines, Ardy again had me (and all attendees) agreeing to what he was saying and laughing at his jokes. This 41-year old businessman who co-owns BusinessWorks with Anthony Pangilinan, father of four, husband to one, and Church servant shared what we need in this times of crisis:
1. Continue to work and perform. He quoted Henry Sy in an interview with Inquirer magazine, "In good times I work hard. In bad, I work harder. It is important to be optimistic.
2. It is either we fear crisis or look at it as an opportunity. Fear, he said, is False Evidences Appearing Real. The key is to keep moving forward despite discouragements and negativity, and staying motivated on things.
3. Keep family ties close and have a support system. Despite the hustles of life, it is important to spend good time with your family - spouse, children and relatives. Keep a good set of friends and if possible, a mentor to guide you. -At the end of the day, you need them as a support system.
4. Put your confidence in Him. Many of us work to the best of our abilities, and we get disappointed each time we fail. Trusting in Jesus helps us get back on our feet and try again with renewed strength.
It's important to be kept abreast and adjusted to industry trends. But it is equally significant to keep on a positive view despite the overwhelming negativity around us.
Amen?Amen!
