Find Your Place Under The Sun

Today was superduper busy.
Funny I say that because every single day of my life is busy!
Like today, I worked again on my reality TV show, Preacher In Blue Jeans, and boy, it’s huge work. (Remember, you’ll see the first episode on November 1 on this website. Get ready to have fun and be inspired!)
Two dedicated, passionate guys are working with me on this: Randy Borromeo, our Director, and Edwin Marcelo, my cameraman and video-editor.
Oh, I pity Edwin.
Let me tell you what he did.
Yesterday, he captured me with his Sony 3CCD camera, rushed home to edit the film, and uploaded it to the internet. He slept at 4am this morning and woke up at 6am just to finish one thirty minute episode.
By 11am today, he was at my place shooting another one.
Poor guy. But you don’t see it on his face.
Because he loves his work.
And when you do, it isn’t work.
Edwin was telling me he was doing media work years ago, but then lost his way some years back. He ventured into selling insurance. But he was never happy. Until he finally went back to what he loved doing (media work) and viola—he rediscovered his call. He found his place under the sun.
And when you discover your place under the sun, you’re a different person.
You wake up with passion.
You get out of bed ready to conquer the world.
Man, I love working with my team. They’re fantastic guys.
Guess what.
Preacher In Blue Jeans isn’t the only thing I did today.
Are you ready? (Take a deep breath.) I also wrote 3 articles for Kerygma, wrote an article for Fish, wrote 2 project plans, wrote a marketing letter, wrote 27 letters to readers, wrote a blog (this one), and worked on the book I’m currently writing, Secrets Of The Rich.
Whew!
But I love my work too.
Like Edwin, for a time, I got involved in administration and pastoral work in my Catholic Community, the Light of Jesus. I had to do that because I was the founder and presiding elder for many years. But thank God, I finally was able to pass on that work to guys better than me. And I finally returned fulltime to what I was born to do: preaching and writing. I’m still an elder of Light of Jesus (for some reason, they don’t want to kick me out) but I’m no longer the head honcho carrying all the problems of the world.
Yes, I’ve been playing all these years!
I’m having the time of my life and I can’t live any other way.
Gosh, I better end this blog.
It’s almost 1:00am and I need to sleep for another exciting day tomorrow.
In the meantime, find your place under the sun and live with passion!

Indeed it is a stressful world, but it was never an excuse to live our lives the same way.
Your simple words never miss to light up the soul of many.
Indeed, you are a preacher in blue jeans, always reminding us that humans as we are, we trully can inspire one another, in God’s unending love and mercy.
Big Thanks for the inspiration Bro. Bo!
It’s a good thing we can have a daily dose of it starting tom! :grin tj

God bless you Bo! your one man with such overflowing energy. you’ve made me realized there’s no such thing as being tired. You’ve inspired me to live a meaningful life by being of service to others. According to Mother Teresa ” I’ve got the whole of eternity to rest.” Let’s continue making this world a better place to live while we got the chance. You’ve done a great job!!! :zzz [B]i’ve got the wholeof eternity to rest[/B]

i agree 101%…work isn’t work when you love doing it and giving it your all will just come in naturally.

continue to be an inspiration and to be God’s instrument to others, Bro. Bo…just like how your work, the community & the publications inspired me all these years.

God bless you and your family! jn2

You are perfectly right…find your place under the sun, live with passion and just enjoy! CARPE DIEM!

I like this article..:)
I’m still one of those finding my own place under sun. I’m still confused and still looking for where and what my passion is.
Do you have any suggestions on articles/materials that might help me on this. THanks a lot!!!
Guest, on November 12th, 2006 at 10:36 pm Said:

bo, i like this article! I can so relate… I am one of the early twenties gals who are undecided of their direction, who have varied interests and so used to multi tasking and too obedient and receptive to environmental stimuli that makes deciding very hard… the things that i love to do are so varied and are not situanionally and even culturally popular as yet… well bo, reading stuff like this just uplifts me that there is hope… bdw i am also immersing my self in creating a seminar or retreat where people concerned of discovering their core gifts and direction come together and learn. Well in God’s time! tnx a bunch bo!

hi.. just read your article and i really felt different. you see, i have an assignment in my school. it’s to make a reflection regarding to the purpose in life. i have been thinking and wondering what really is the purpose in life. i’ve search every website just to know the answer but still can’t find the right words and meaning for it. until this day, i typed your name and there i started reading every single word that’s in your website and finally my question have been answer. your article “Find your place under the sun” gave me the answer. now i know what’s the purpose in life. is to do good in life and seek God and be in His Spirit. God is soo super duper hyper to the max Good. He simply made a way just for me to the the purpose in life and for me not to be confuse. :grin :grin

wow! thank you bro. Bo for this blog. it inspired me to love my work. i have always known that “Work is love made visible” just as “Food is God’s Love made visible. Actually, I’m still an incoming 3rd yr. college student.
I used to procrastinate on my task but I learned from this. I am still a lion on his lair, I’m just at home this summer and i plan to plan for my next semester in school. Thank you so much for INSPIRING. i know that this could also motivate just like your other works. THANKS A LOT! God Bless!

how does one find his own place under the sun?
lily, on October 15th, 2008 at 9:25 pm Said:

to J.A.
u wont find your place under the sun if you don’t know yourself. Know who you are and what do you really want to do…Pray! OK?

Hi Brother Bo! You really inspired me! The Kerygma conference I attended last year really gave me the BIG PUSH to quit my job(in a bank) and do what I really love. Now, I’m a full time mom who’s enjoying every minute of taking care of my family-my husband, my children,my loved ones. I left a high paying job but everything is all worth it because I have all the time in my hands and a lot of doors of opportunities have been opened. I want to do what are essentials in my life. Thanks again and God Bless you and your family!
You are God’s gift to the world!

Bro. Bo,

It’s the first time I came across your blogs tonight. God is good. As I am going through certain things and some emotional turmoil, I found certain light , comfort, and realizations with your blogs. Thank you so much. From this day on, I’m going to wake up with a whole new perspective of passion to start a new day and to constantly remember the Reason why I chose this life I’m having now, as I go through it’s accompanying challenges and hurdles.

So I’m holding on…thanks so much. The blogs are like wonderful insights and torch guides to me now.

God bless you.

Dear Kuya Bo,

You know kuya, i just started visiting this site last march 24, 2009. That was three days ago. How i really thank HIM, because He just makes me remind to be with HIM again.

At least now, my daily office routine will be more light and in the other side i have this wonderful site every morning to visit, and i am making myself not to make any absence in reading the God’s message you have always send to me every morning. But you know po kuya, this also makes me more communicative by also giving comments on your blogs. That’s why i am reading your blog from the start.

I hope after my younger sister finish her study, i will live my passion.
So that by then i will wake up every morning full of joy and energy to be shared to people i want to be..and people whom God will let me to meet.

Thank you.

“And when you discover your place under the sun, you’re a different person.
You wake up with passion.
You get out of bed ready to conquer the world.”

That statement just blew me away! I always get excited whenever I see people doing what they love to do instead of people who’re doing what they’re told to do cos of other reasons.

More people should discover their inner passions and show everyone how much they can achieve with just doing what they love to do.

Thank you so much for this and God bless you!
