Manila TOT

I am here in Manila for the PCFC-sponsored Training of Trainers. We're staying at the Pearl Manila Hotel in Ermita, Manila.

Meet daw mi ISS friends on Thursday night. Hope lingaw!

I'm thankful coz I'm here in the training, we have access to internet. I resolved a very important matter. Kung didto pa ko sa ofc, di ko kahirit sa internet, strikto na man.

I may be planning for a Bangkok holiday this Christmas pohon. All depends...

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
