The Only Key To Happiness. (Everything Else Is Fake.)
I have an announcement to make: God wants you to be happy. In fact, I believe God has already lined up the right blessings, the right miracles, and the right people to bless your life.
Especially the right people.
Why right people?
Because God wants you to be happy by having happy relationships.
He really only has one strategy to make you happy. He has no backup plan in case it fails. It’s through happy relationships or bust.
If you don’t have happy relationships, you’ll never be happy.
No matter how rich you are.
No matter how religious you are.
No matter how much you achieve in life.
No matter how beautiful you are.
No matter how intelligent you get.
At the end of the day, your life is all about relationships.
In other words, your life is all about love.
That’s why the greatest commandments are about love.
Because He wants you to be happy.
Listen To Older People
When John Izzo interviewed 235 older people, he found out that their most common regret is not taking enough risks.
But what was the most painful regret?
Failure in relationships.
When I talk to older people, I’ve heard this same regret too.
“I didn’t spend enough time with my family.”
“I didn’t put people before things.”
“I didn’t express my love.”
“I didn’t apologize and repair a broken relationship.”
Our most painful regret is that we didn’t love enough.
That’s why the Bible says, Let love be your highest goal. (1 Corinthians 14:1) More than anything else, love must be our most important dream.
Often, Dying Men Are Wise Men
One day, I visited a doctor who was battling with cancer.
His own doctors told he had six months to live.
When I saw him, he had all the signs of success: Big house, big cars, big job…
But he told me something that struck me deeply.
He said, “Brother Bo, please pray for me. I’m in pain. But the physical pain I experience is nothing compared to the hurt in my heart…”
He wept for a long time.
He finally blurted it out, “Bo, my kids don’t even want to visit me.”
I was shocked. “Why?” I asked.
“I can’t blame them. My children and I never had a good relationship. When they were growing up, I didn’t have time for them. I was so busy with my job. I’d go home impatient. I blew my top often. When I was angry, I couldn’t control my mouth. So I’ve said nasty things to my children that I wish I never said. Sadly, I can’t take back my words.”
He kept sobbing.
I prayed for him.
We were alone in his room. And it seemed like he was going to die alone.
I couldn’t help comparing this scene with the last years of my father. He was always surrounded by his kids and grandkids. Everyday, we were there with him.
Friend, how do you want to die?
You determine that by what you prioritize today.
Why The Kings Of Israel Failed
I found something interesting in the Bible.
In the span of 300 years, Israel had 43 Kings. You know some of them: King Saul, King David, King Solomon, etc…
But out of 42 Kings, only 8 were considered “good” Kings.
That’s pretty sad.
That means 34 kings were spiritually bankrupt.
Why?
Here’s the crux of the problem: Fathers were busy building their kingdoms, they had no time to build their sons.
Like anywhere else in the world, Kings passed their throne to their sons. Usually, a bad King begets another bad King.
And that’s the same problem today.
Fathers don’t have time for their sons. And daughters.
Fathers aren’t leading their families to God.
Fathers aren’t mentoring their children.
Love Circle Prayer
I created a special ritual that you can do for the next 7 days.
I call it the “Love Circle Prayer”.
Here’s my big promise: If you do this for the next 7 days, you will change. And your relationships will change.
Before I tell you why, let me tell you how.
There are three steps…
Step 1: Be Grateful For You
Select one stone to represent you. While holding it, thank God for who you are and the blessings of the day. (Example: “Thank you Lord for protecting me from an accident this morning; Thank you Lord that I was able to finish my report and my boss likes it…”) After praying, place the stone at the middle of the “Love Circle” Card.
Step 2: Be Grateful For The Love You Received
Select a stone for each loved one in your life. Hold each stone and thank God for how this person blessed you. (Example: “Thank you Lord for my wife’s unconditional love for me.”; “Thank you Lord for my mother’s gift of life to me.”) Place the stone at the outside circle. Repeat for each stone.
Step 3: Be Grateful For The Love You Gave
Hold each stone representing each of your loved ones, and thank God for how you were able to show love to that person. (Example: “Thank you Lord I was able to spend time with my son today”; “Thank you Lord I was able to tell my father I loved him today.”) As you do this, move the stone from the outer circle to the inner circle. Note: If you weren’t able to show your love to that person that day, plan how you can do it the next day.
Pray the Love Circle Prayer in the evening before you sleep. Do this for 7 days. This will change you and transform your relationships.
Why This Ritual Will Change Your Life
If you do this for 7 days, you’ll be changed.
How? By the power of gratitude.
For 7 days, you’re reprogramming your mind to look at the way your loved ones bless you. And not how they irritate you.
One day, I gave a retreat for married couples.
I asked them to write 10 wonderful qualities they see in their spouse. Immediately, they complained. “Ten? That’s too much!”
But they were kidding. All of them went to work, writing the answers. Except for one woman.
She came up to me and said, “Bo, there’s no redeemable quality in my husband.”
I said, “That’s impossible.”
“I’m telling you Bo, my husband is a creature from outer space. He’s an alien life form.”
“You can’t think of one thing that’s good about him?” I asked.
She said, “Well, I can think of one thing. He’s got good tastes. After all, he chose me.”
I smiled. “Write that down. Anything else?”
The Power Of Gratitude
“That’s it,” she said. “Nothing else.”
“I’ll help you to joggle your brain,” I said. “Does he help you at home?”
“No. He’s lazy.”
“Does he cook?” I asked.
She shook her head. “Are you kidding me? Of course not. He knows how to eat. And he eats like a monster…”
That’s when she stopped.
“You know, come to think about it, I feed my husband anything and he’s happy. I fry him an egg—and he’s content. I’m writing this down…”
She wrote it, “Mababaw ang kanyang kaligayahan.” (He’s easy to please.)
She kept on writing 8 more good qualities about her husband.
And in five minutes, I saw a physical transformation.
Her face changed. She was so happy. She pointed to her list and said, “Bo, puwede na yung Mister ko!”
But in those five minutes, her husband didn’t change.
She did.
That’s the power of gratitude.
That’s why I believe that this “Love Circle Prayer” will change you. Each night, you’ll learn how to be grateful for you and your loved ones.
And one more thing…
The Power Of Love
This ritual will also “force” you to show your love more.
Because in Step 3 (Be Grateful For The Love You Give), you’ll be thanking God for the opportunity to show love.
Just as a warning, let me tell you the story.
One day, there was a lion who called for a meeting with the animals. He said, “Each of you will tell a joke. But everyone must laugh or I’ll eat the one who told the joke.”
The monkey, who knew he was very funny, went up first and told his joke. When he reached the punchline, everyone cracked up. Everyone that is, except one animal: The turtle. He didn’t laugh.
The lion shook his head. He pounced on the monkey and ate him in one gulp. All the animals gasped. The lion called out, “Next!”
The parrot believed he was really funny so he stepped in front and told his joke. When he reached his punchline, all the animals laughed. Except the turtle!
And to everyone’s horror, the lion gobbled up the parrot.
All the animals were angry at the turtle! But they couldn’t say anything in front of the lion.
“Next!” the lion said.
The giraffe stepped up, trembling. He started telling his joke when the turtle began to laugh really hard!
The animals looked at him wondering what he was doing.
The lion asked the turtle, “What’s wrong with you? Giraffe hasn’t reached his punchline yet!”
The turtle said, “Haha! I can’t help it. The monkey’s joke was sooooo funny!”
Give Love, But Don’t Expect
An Instant Response
Let’s say you’re a father.
And you’ve not really been spending time with your kids.
But because of the ritual, you’ve decided to hangout with them. However, you find out that your kids don’t want to hangout with you!
It’ll be frustrating. But don’t give up.
Your kids are turtles. In due time, your children will “get it” and respond to your love.
You Have To Read This Incredible Letter
I just read Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s book, In Praise of Stay-At-Home Moms. If you’re a housewife, I highly recommend her book to you.
In her introduction, she includes a very inspiring letter written by a certain “Lisa”, a Stay-At-Home Mom. I was so touched by the letter, I’m including parts of the letter here.
Dr. Laura,
As I sit to write this letter, my hope is that if just one mother can hear what I have to say and holds her child just a little tighter today, I will have fulfilled my reason for writing.
By the time I was 29 our family was complete. I had three beautiful children, a loving husband, and although never money to spare, we found ways to get by. Although I had my mother and mother-in-law to babysit whenever I needed, by the time my middle son was born, I knew I could not work anymore. Something inside of me told me that I had to spend as much time with my children as I could.
There were many days where I was pulling out my hair, found myself screaming at them, and was totally exhausted by the end of the day, thinking to myself, “Any other work would be a pleasant relief.” But there were also many moments I would never trade in for any job, no matter what the pay. Those moments when your child gives you a smile or a look you never forget, moments when they would give you a kiss, a hug, or just hold your hand for no reason. Those are the moments a mother treasures in her heart forever…
Two years ago my middle son was killed in an auto accident. He was 22 years old. He was away at college when he decided to get in a car where the driver had been drinking; ten minutes later he was dead.
Our lives will never be the same again; the world as we knew it had been destroyed. We miss our son terribly. My husband, surviving two children, and I will never be the same, but we are trying to hold on to each other and pick up the pieces, one piece at a time.
Dr. Laura, there is only one thing I can say. I am so grateful for those moments I had with my son. Those moments, the good as well as the crazy ones, I will forever hold close to my heart. All those precious years I spent with my son now are what help me get through the day.
So please, Dr. Laura, never stop reaching to all the young moms who feel they can’t handle it, are struggling with making it through the day, who believe they “need” to work instead of being with their child, just how much it might someday mean to them to have spent those precious moments with their children. Hopefully other moms can just take my word for it: Don’t let anyone or anything prevent you from holding them, hugging them, playing with them, memorizing their smile, their laughter, their heart.
–Lisa
I’m not saying that all mothers must be fulltime homemakers.
Not all mothers can do that. Many mothers need to hold jobs and run businesses.
But motherhood is your most important role in life.
Listen To Your Older Self
I work from home.
There are advantages and disadvantages.
My advantages? I work in my shorts and T-shirt (air-cooled because of a few holes); I don’t experience traffic between my bed and my desk; I eat healthy home-cooked food; And I can play with my kids anytime I want.
Disadvantage? My kids can play with me anytime they want.
To be honest with you, there are days when I’m torn.
Like when I’m rushing a book or big project.
And my five-year old Francis sees me in front of my computer. He’ll simply walk up to me, sit on my lap, and say, “Daddy, let’s play Plants vs. Zombies (a computer game).”
At that moment, I have a big decision to make.
I could tell him, “Sure son!” Or I could tell him, “Not now, Francis, I’m busy.”
There are days when I’m torn between these two choices.
So I follow a powerful suggestion given in John’s book: When you’re making a decision in life, ask your older self for advice.
Older people are wiser.
Because they’re looking back at their lives.
I imagine myself as a 99 years old guy, sitting on a rocking chair. I approach him and ask, “Excuse me. What do you think should I do?”
And everytime, my 99-year old self will say, “Play with your kids. Your work will always be there. But your kids won’t. They’ll grow up, have their own lives, and walk away. Bo, when you’re my age, you’ll always treasure your time with your kids. You’ll always wish that you spent more time with them.”
Go ahead.
Do the most important thing in the world.
Build your relationships.
And be happy.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

I would do anything to revive my relationship with my wife and children, brother Bo, please continue touching our lives and spreading Gods goodness to all of us.

As I read this article, things rushed back into my head. It seems I want to immediately go home and hug my children. Scenarios given (i.e. doing computer works; suddenly kids will sit on your lap to request for a game) were exactly one of the moments that happened yesterday. We had a fun time. It simply took us an hour of playing together but I will definitely cherish it for a lifetime. Thank you, Bo for touching my heart.
Bro Bo,
Thanks for the inspiration. I see to it that I would spend my time to my child and my wife. This is lacking on me today, i don’t have time because, i am always thinking of how to resolve all the problems i have. Please pray for me…

Dear Bo,
I’m now facing a big choice in my life!
Should I go overseas to work and leave my wife and one month old son?
The money is not much and I can’t bear to leave my wife and son….
All the sign are telling me to stay, but my parents are asking me not to give up this oppertunity.
I’m very torn and confused.
To disappoint my parents and follow my heart or to go so I can provide my wife and son a better life.
But will they be better of without a husband/father around?
Please anyone comment on this. It has been effecting me as I will have to decide soon.
Dear Bro. Bo,
Thank you for opening my eyes and heart again towards family relationships. This will be a great help to strengthen my relationship with them now that all my 3 kids are growing up. I realized that I have to adjust and be a turtle . Patience is a Virtue. Wealth is Gratitude and Gratitude is Wealth.
Thank God for sending you as one of our blessings to us. I know you are always a blessing to other and I hope I can also be a blessings to others.
God Bless always!
Although, I am always with my kid physically, I am not always there mentally. Thank you for this wake up call.
Bro. Bo,
This talk definitely changedd my entire life forever!
Your Love Circle Prayer changed my perspective in love.
You know what have happened to me the week before you give this talk. I allmost killed myself by attempting to jump into the highest building here in Dasmariñas. Because I have thought and felt that nobody loves me during that moment. Both my mother and my girlfriend deserted me in the place where I was in total isolation. I almost jumped off the rooftop. But then, there I have realized that many people love me. My girlfriend is crying hardly knowing my plan she doesn’t know what to do. My mom was definitely worried what have happened to me because she can’t contact me. My family in Pag-ibig sa Diyos Catholic Community have done everything to delay my suicide attempt. Lastly, My Daddy Coach, Bro. Obet Cabrillas prayed for me and talked to my mom and fiancee to comfort them. That’s how much God Loves me through them. I felt I was very wrong for doing such horrendous act that may destroy my relationship forever with God and be thrown into the fires of hell! I thank God this is the turning point of my Life.
The Sunday afterwards, I almost run enraged while waiting for our Radical Meeting because my Girlfriend still don’t forgive what I have done. I shouted and cursed my girlfriend on phone seen by many people in the hall of Valle Verde. The Security done their job and I do apologize when I come to my senses. I thank God that afterwards, I have been touched by your Talk. It changed my life a much!
Now I’m enjoying a more meaningful relationship with my fiancee. Hoping that once she is here, she would also attend the feast with me regularly. I also have my mother attend the feast after a month of too much prayer and invitation. I was definitely surprised that after our confrontation before going to PICC, she have treated me and my friends into a restaurant in SM Mall of Asia. I have gained many friends, closest bestfriend to be exact. and I expressed too much love in every people around me.
Bro. Bo I have told you that your suggestion with regards to joining the Radical Training is rejected. I have been talked by Daddy Coach Obet that because of the side comments of other people observing me. My application was declined. However, Daddy Coach ensured me that he will still perosnally coach me and form me. Once I have changed my attitude and behavior. I might join the Radical Training Batch 3 this coming September or October. God knows that Its not yet the right time for me to undergo training. But I’m definitely hoping that some time, your prophecy about me will be fulfilled through your training. I’m very thankful because THE FEAST IS REALLY A PLACE WHERE GREATEST MIRACLES HAPPEN! See you next week at The Feast Manila Bay!
To live and to die for Jesus Christ my king!
+All for the Greater Glory and Love of God!

Dear Bo,
Thank you for a wonderful article on the importance of relationships. I’m nearing that age when the “evenings get me down,” and getting stock of what my next 20 years would be after retiremen is a priority. I have great plans for my six children, even if they already have their own families and their own lives to take care of. I have always tried my best to be a blessing to them. But one thing is sure, they are a blessing to me.
Salamat sa Diyos.
hi bro.Bo power morning can i ask a favor can you write some article regarding about a single ladies like me…im broken hearted right now..ill keep reading ur article every day…to lighten my life thanks,and God Bless always…
Thank for very much, Bo.
My husband works abroad. I and our two children is living with my parents while he’s away. Definitely, there are times when I wish he’d just stay here and be with us but I can not deny the fact that we couldn’t have gotten by if not for his job.
For both of us, this is a great sacrifice especially on the part of my husband. He only sees his children in videos, he had practically watched them growing through the pictures and videos I very frequently take and send out to him. He has never held our second baby at all, she’s now turning 8 months old. By the time he comes home, he has missed the full infanthood of our second daughter, which was the same experience he had with the first.
We can not stay this way forever though. Yes, we do need the money, but I do want my husband to experience this joy that he would never find elsewhere except from our daughters. So we are making up plans to save, or be able to find a better opportunity, so that someday, we could finally live together as family and not have financial problems as well.
We never stop communicating as well, using all means from email to cell phone. This way, our love for each other never dies and though he is away and I don’t see him, I KNOW and I am SURE that he loves me and his daughters very much.
Sometimes, this form of sacrifice outweighs the physical presence. But if the wife loves the husband as well, she’d do everything she can to appease this and make plans to eventually end this distance…
Truly love begets love
thanks God for giving Bo the gift of wisdom
God bless
Hi, Bo!
It’s really beautiful ! This is really an article full of wisdom. You were sent by God to do this for us.
Thanks so much and more power. God bless!!!

Thank you Bo.
More than anything else in this world, I value most my relationship with my Family, Friends, my partner, Office friends and even to people I just meet along the street.
There were time I took them for granted. But they never stopped loving me.
I believe in Love, and in my own way I will express it to each one of them while there is time.
Please include me in your prayers, that love always reign in all my relationship. Thank you.
Bro. Bo
Thank you for inspiring me. At this time, I am in my downfall. Lonely because there is no one beside because I am single. But through this inspiring message, I remembered my two nephews who live with me and asking for my attention. Evenvthough, I am not their mother. They treat me as though I am their playmate. They hold me and kiss whenever I arrived. I should be grateful. I should listen to my older self!
The blessings are pouring!
Thank you Bo
Thanks a lot, Bo. God will continually bless you.
Hi Bro Bo!
Thanks a lot for this wonderful article! I was relieved of my irritation this morning. I already shared your article with my friends and hoping that they will also subscribe to your Soulfood newsletter.
Have a Great day!
Thanks a lot Bro. Bo for this inspiring article. I am and will surely stay with my one and only daughter who is at post cranio.
May I request for prayers for her full recovery, please?
Thanks and More Power!
Thanks Bro. Bo. your blogs are always water for my thirsty soul.. I have two kids and both are panganays.. They’re both with their mothers and I don’t get to see them often.. I really miss them Bro. Bo, How I always wish I could Hug and Kiss them everyday. I will not waste time, I’ll do my best to see them no matter what. God will be my strength..
Hi Bro. Bo,
Thank you for this beautiful blog.

Its really an inspiring article Bro. Bo, but how can i do this if i am the only one who wants to do it? My husband is not open for any changes. Just like your stories, i dont see anything good about HIM. He’s always hurting my feelings and ignoring me as a person. Eventhough i want to do it and make our relationship be full of Love, do you think i can do it alone??? How can we change if both of us are full of heartache and pain??
Hope you can help me ,us…
i love the article especially being with the kids. m just pregnant and will be giving birth in july. i wanted to be a stay home mom and look at my child every second and see her growing. i wanted to.. id love to. but i am an only child. and my parents doesnt have any income. i need to work for them. ill be leaving my child with them in the province and be back here in manila to work. im torn. i honestly dont know the best thing to do. but thanks bo for this very inspiring article.
Hi Brother Bo,
I sent this post’s link to my mom. These past few days she got very busy talking with other people.. That sometimes, when we need her she’s not available. Well, actually, she’s not available for serious talks anymore.
I want her to read this post so that she could realize that her family needs her too.
Hello Bo,
Just wanna say thank u for this wonderful article.. You make my life great with significant existent. Why? for 26 yrs I have been a full time mom. I have 3 loving grown up sons now , all are in college. Many times I regretted why I took a decision like this knowing I’ve been equipped with college degree in a well known university and good looks for that matter (thanks God for it) to get myself a job. Growing in a family where parents are so busy with their business, I made this risky decision to myself to be a full time mom and have time with my kids. Raising up 3 boys was a challenging one and I have made them a responsible and God loving individual. I have become there mentor and there best friend. Although, the journey was not an easy one with my husband being the only breadwinner. At times our life are trembled with financial problems, but faith we have in God hold us on through this days and so we survived. Not to forget, I have a very supportive and a loving husband. Nothing to regret! For me ( being wiser at 50), what matter most is Love - it is indeed the key to happiness! Thanks Bro!
Bro.Bo,
Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring email.
God Bless!
[…] On Bo’s: The Only Key to Happiness May 31, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized — joyaranas @ 3:11 pm http://bosanchez.ph/the-only-key-to-happiness-everything-else-is-fake/ […]
Dear Bo,
The article is very touching! Thank you for inspiring us! Godbless.
Bo,
After reading this article, I began to miss my wife and kids coz right now, I’m here in the middle east as an OFW.
I also get confused on how will I do that to stay with my loved ones in the Philippines and enjoy their hugs & kisses if “Overseas job” is the only way I could do to give them a better life?
Anyway, as St.Paul said in the book of Corinthians that each one of us has to play his role in this world. And therefore I think, this is my role.
I just keep on praying that someday, God will let me stay with my loved ones and have my own business that is enough to feed my family and help others who are less fortunate.
Jesus, King of Mercy, I trust in You.
Let’s praise and exalt Him forever.
Hi Brother Bo,
Thank you so much! I am very close to tears. Indeed, love is the main reason of our existence. Thank you for this very beautiful article. And thank you for reminding us what we often forget. May God be alwasy with you.

Hi Bo! This is really a good buzzer to these busy days. TIme flies so fast and more often, we forget the most important essence of living.

God bless Bo

Dear Bro. Bo,
I am a working mother with 3 children.
I have to work in order to feed them, send them to best schools and meet their basic needs.
I also make sure that i also sustain their spiritual needs by teaching them a prayer which they will pray before they sleep, and or attend a mass every Sunday.
Pls help me Bo to pray for my children’s future , that i hope God will help me raise them as good children
and grow a God fearing persons.
It is difficult to be a working mother, however, thinking of their needs make me realize that i have to gain strength because they are the source of my inspiration.
I accepted to work abroad , and i believe this is God’s plan for me and my children.Whatever His plans for us, i believe He will definitely look for us in every ways.
True happiness is always in our hearts.
More blessings to all of us.
Thanks for the very inspiring article.
its a very inspiring article. Thank you Bo, you always touch my soul.
Thank you so much for sharing this article. I highly believe in the power of gratitude. It always feels great to be grateful no matter what.
Hi Bro. Bo,
This article has really touched my heart. Very Inspiring.
Very enlightening. Thanks for sending me this article.
It reminded me that God loves me and He always wants me to be happy.
It also made me realize that to be happy is to have “right” blessing, “right” miracles and have happy relationships with “right people.”
God Bless!

hi bro. bo,
Thanks for the very inspiring article, I’ve really learned a lot. You’re such an angel..
Another very inspiring message from Bro. Bo. Especially the later part….I just wished I’m not here in Saudi Arabia while reading that part. This is just my first time here and first time to be away from my family. I only have one son. He is everything to me and I have always valued the times I spend with him. I was just in some desperate financial needs that I decided to work here. I just hope every parent get your message stuck in their hearts. It’s stuck in mine..and it’ s aching.
such an inspiring article Bo! GBU
hi bro bo
thank you for sharing so many inspiring stories or words from God..i really appreciate all of them and it make feel good whenever i read it and ponder How life is important and God is Good.
Now i know kung bakit malayo ang loob ng anak kong panganay sa akin. Kung maibabalik ko lang ang lumipas na panahon, para gawin ang mga aral na ito ay gagawin ko. His now 24yr old at andito ako sa abroad for 18years na, nawawalan na ako ng pag asa para magkalapit kami sa isat isa. Pag umu-uwi ako sa pinas for vacation no matter how i do para mag bonding kami ay no effect sa kanya sya ang umiiwas. Kaya mukhang habang panahon konang regrets ito sa buhay…
Thanks, its more than a food of the soul, I will be confident to anybody i knew and will be friend in the coming days of my life…!
hi Brother Bo,
totoo yun sinulat mo, para nga akong tumingin sa salamin at nakita ko ang pagkululang ko sa mga anak ko. mas mahalaga nga pala sila kaysa sa trabaho. dapat na mabago ko ang sarili ko kasi lumalaki na sila.
i thank god for giving me the opportunity to be reminded,and to learn. mabuti na lang may brother Bo. god bless and more power
bro bo,
touch ako sa love circle mo, actually i am trying my best to express my love to my mother, my mother in law, brothers, sisters, niece, nephews and to my husband, touch ako sa sinabi mo even though walang response from the other party it is better to said so and let them feel your love. how i wish one of this day me and my husband can attend a retreat together.
hi! Brother bo , everytime i read your article i can’t help but cry, your always touch my heart by just reading your book or your blog,you know why ?my life is always related in your blogs, thanks Bro. Bo madalas na eenlightened ako.
Hi! another food for for the soul ang article na ito.. it makes me cry.. How i wish i am with my two kids.. i miss them so much..though i know i am sending my love to them everyday by telephone calls, SMS, chat and email but physicallly and emotionally wala ako sa tabi nila..missing the days talaga kaya lang no choice having an irresponsible husband, i have to go abroad to feed my children and give them good future.
Bro. Bo thank you for being a blessing to others! your artilces are open minded to everyone at tagos sa puso talaga!!!
God Bless us all!
Bro. Bo,
Please do pray for my husband na sana maenlighten sya and would realize the important of the word “FAMILY” .. I’ve been asking the Lord to touch him and show his face in my husband’s dream and deliver HIS message and do good things for God sake.
THanks in advance!
Bro. Bo,
Thank you very much po sa very inspiring article ninyo. My husband worked as a waiter in a luxury ship and I am a fulltime mom in our 1st baby. I worked for almost 8 yrs. due to my risky pregnancy and i decided to resign in my work. After giving birth i decided to work again because of the fact that i envy those working moms at nasanay ako sa trabaho but as the days goes by nararamdaman ko po na mas kelangan ako ng baby ko to take care of him at tapos nabasa ko pa po itong article na ito at sobrang na enlighten po ako at mas masuwerte pa po ako dahil lagi ko kasama ang baby namin unlike with my husband sa webcam lang niya kami madalas makita. THANK YOU VERY MUCH PO!!! GOD BLESS AND MORE POWER!!!
Bro. Bo,
Thank you very much for a very inspiring article,just what i need right now being alone away from my loving family.I happened to be a doctor back home but opted to work as RN in USA for my family.I used to work and take care of my own kids as much i can sa Pinas its not easy but i want to be the one to come and touch them and be with them whenever they need help or get hurt,i wanted to guide them the same way my mother did kahit single mother lang sya.Buti na lang ginawa ko yun noon kasi kahit malayo ako sa kanila x 4 years alam ko na mahal na mahal nila ako at alam nila na mahal na mahal ko rin sila at kaya ako lumayo para sa kanila. im happy that i was a handson mom when they were young kasi makamommy pa rin sila kahit sa webcam lang kami nagkakasamasama sa ngayon . I miss them so much !But the good thing is my husband had is chance to more hands on sa mgabata in my absence .
Thank you very much po and more power!
Bo,
Thanks for reminding us the importance of “Relationship”.
I agree with all you have said and honestly, having no relation at all feels empty.
God is good for providing us all we need!
Dear Bro Bo,
Thanks for another inspiring story..
God bless and more power!
Thanks,
Roz
Thank you once again for the nice article. Yes, sooner or later I’ll be retiring from work abroad to attend my family especially for my sickly daughter’s paternal needs…Have more power in enlightening people’s lives. God bless.
thank you Bro. Bo for that wonderful story… its something that i will apply in my life…
hi Bro. Bo,
as i keep reading your articles, i feel that God continue to bless me and my family. with your articles, i realized that it is worth giving up some of my personal pleasures for my family. i really like your paragraph on “fathers busy building their kingdom but had no time to build their sons”. this should be read by more fathers and even working mothers these days. for in the end i really agree with you that work will always be there but our children - every day that passes is a forgotten past when not spent correctly. so let’s make it very memorable.
Thank you again Bro. Bo and may GBU always!
Hi Bro Bo,
Thanks for sharing the Love Circle, its wonderful and for the encouraging stories that we can learn from. And the grace to know and understand what really matter in life…to have a heart that is full of sooo much gratitude and love…
All the best!
God bless you and Sanchez Family always.
Hi Bro. Bo,
Thank you for being one of my love stones today. You’ve once again grounded me and as a result gained a better perspective about how to go about my life.
Thanks Bo. Will sure do your Circle of Love prayer starting tonight. I’m sure it will bless me just like all the articles I’ve received from you and your ministry.
Godbless,
Vicent
may you and your family and all your ministries will be more blessed for this inspiring article.
god bless!
Hi Bro. Bo,
Once Again, you never fail to be there just when I needed the right words of advice. You are truly God’s messenger. Thank you.
dear bo,
i like this inspiring article for i am a working mom who is everyday thorn with guilt as i leave my daughter with her grandma. off i go to work feeling sad that i have to leave her. mahirap maging nanay. i realized that sobra ng una kong makita ang baby ko noong pinanganak ko siya. doon ko mas na-appreciate yung mama ko at lahat ng mama na nakakasama ko.sa totoo lang mas masarap na yakapin at paulit-ulit na sagutin ang tanong ng anak ko. basta sadya yatang mahirap maging magulang. I just always pray na mapalaki kong may malalim na pagkilala sa diyos ang anak ko. para paglaki niya mas matatag ang kakapitan niya. doon lang tiyak ako mapapanatag.
another good advice bro. Bo, thanks a lot.
Dear Bo,
Im single but dreaming to have a wonderful family in God’s perfect time. I love the inspiring message of this article. This will be my tools & gadgets in the future. More blessings & more power. Thank you.
Bro. Bo,
Thanks so much for the inspiring love note .God bless.
Bro. Bo,
I just gave birth to our third baby last April 13, and i chose to report at the office after 15days… because my relationship to my hubby got shaky… pls pray for us…
Dear Dennis,
As I am reading Bro. Bo’s inspirational article, it gave me a clear picture of myself as a working Mom. We (my family) are here abroad. And I do felt that it is very important that family stays together.
Yes, we do need our jobs to sustain our daily needs but then our priority is our family followed by our job. But there is another way if you don’t want to disappoint your parents, ask your employer to sponsor your family so that you all can be together.
With Bro. Bo’s article … “The Only Key To Happiness”, gave me the clarity of my sometimes shadowed thoughts.
I have been a working ever since, I get so hooked up on my office work, house chores & giving my children an attention that sometimes I cried.. Recently, my 2 year old daughter was diagnosed of Type-1 diabetes.
I was torn into pieces.. I cried, questioned God why? I could not accept it.. I asked God why my baby? Why not me? Why she has to suffer from insulin dose 2x a day?.. Why all those pains??
It took me few months to accept the situation, I accept it whole heartedly knowing that God has a reason why my daughter has to go through this… that my human understanding failed to understand… I put up my faith in him and said everything will be alright.
When I am down, I cried to God alone, I can question him as I am his daughter.. But the most importance is the acceptance, that I accept his wills.
Dennis, I have asked myself… what if I am away from my children. What if she is having this health problem & I am not around? This is the time that she needed me the most.. My 10 years old son still could not completely understand his sister’s condition, that sometimes I snap at him when he has tantrums..
But then, they are the only reasons why I & my husband are trying to work hard. But as much as possible, we want to be together no matter what, as life is too short.
Bro. Bo, when my daughter go hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia my heart tore apart, I get so worried.. I could not give attention to my son. When he wants to have time with me or sometimes I could not give time for his studies though he goes for tutor. Sometime disappointments wraps around me. And I, most of the time is getting angry with my husband for some silly reason due to the stressed that I thought I am the only one whose feeling it, how selfish of me.
Bro. Bo, your articles open up my eyes. I came to realized that whatever I am going through, my husband felt the same way too, though maybe I felt wasted sometime because our children prefers to have me to attend to their needs even though we have a house help but when I reached home from work, I take care of everything.
I often find faults with my husband but you open up my eyes, I completely agree with you, you are right; there are lots of good things in him that cannot be numbered.
Thanks you Bro. Bo! And I hope I have given Dennis a small advice on my own way.
God Bless
Excellent bro.Bo! More power and God Bless.
Dear Bro. Bo,

Bro. Bo,
Thank you for the very inspiring article.
Godbless!
hai po…GodBless…c:
one of my personal favorite newsletter! i super love you Bro. Bo! thank you for sharing your love and gift from God. the message of this is just in the right time and moment of my life. it seems that some questions that bothers me are answered through this!
you are truly enjoying God’s love! stay as you are and continue to be a blessing to others! i love you and your family!
True, leaving your family for a better purpose/ for their own good is a great sacrifice and pain a departing parent can have. ( i was once there… ) If it needs be that one parent has to go overseas, don’t make your parting too long. If it has to be, then visit your spouse and kids at least as frequent as time and situation allows, that they don’t forget your love and your presence in their lives. Don’t be the missing link in the chapter of your family’s life . Time lost and gone can never be undone and recovered. The parent’s ache will always be there, but somehow one day, the children will understand ( like the turtle who laugh last ! ) the sacrifices their parents have undergone out of love for them.
Above all, have strong Faith and Trust in our Lord Jesus ! He Who has redeemed us from the darkness of sin to bring us to the Joy of the Resurrection , will surely, out of His great Love for us, will make all things New, will make all things possible, to work for everyone’s good ! ” With God all things are possible ! ”
We praise and thank God all the days of our lives for His Love and all the beautiful things He has done for us !
To Him all the Glory forever and ever !!!
Have a very good day all !
Jesus loves you always !
Thanks Bro. Bo and family !
Dear Bo,
i was crying hard when I read this article. i am one of those countless moms who turned back on their careers to take care of their children. i have two wonderful children who became achievers. that’s because i guided them. when i look back at my career, i still feel a little regret. but reading this article confirmed my belief that i made the right decision to be a full-time-mom. i was always around when my children needed me, from their growing up years and up to this time that they are grown up. they still need my loving guidance. thanks Bo for assuring me that i made the right decision. God bless

dear bro Bo,
i learned a lot from this another nice & inspiring article. it’s never late yet to show love to my boyfriend…now my motto is just give and give and never expect something in return..Anyways, the best thing happens when you least expect it….Thank you very much Bro Bo for sharing this…God bless you more
I agree with Bro. Bo. For some reason, I quit work sometime last year, which forced me to be home. I was able to spend three months with my grandma , intentionally connecting with her and letting her now she was always loved. I tried to find work elsewhere in December. When I was not able to, I came home, and was able to spend two weeks with her. She was 89, and I was thinking she might go away any moment. I was right. She passed away two weeks later.
hello bro bo…thanks for always inspiring me with your articles here. God bless!
love this article! rejected po me sa family ko last year pa after 18 years of marriage. dami ko po kasi mistakes, sins, failures na nagawa sa kanila. i pray na mapatawad na po ng mga taong nagawan ko ng mga pagkakasala. ngakikita naman po kami ng mga anak namin paminssn-minsan. pero di na po me allowed tumira sa haus. i still hope and pray for reunion and reconciliation. ty bro bo. Gbu and your love ones.
thank you bo for antoher inspiring aritcle. once again, you made your readers more inspired and happy because of the article you shared. thank you for the advice. it helped me to be more positive instead of to worry about things going on in my life, and appreciate and love more the persons connected to me.
You are such a blessing. God bless. more power.
Very inspiring. I can relate to that, even though I’m still single. In fact, one of the reasons why I remained single (I’m already in my mid 30’s) is because I never experienced any bonding memories with my father. When you wrote about a father regretting, that is exactly the same thing I experience from my father for practically my whole life. That gave me an instant negative reaction every time somebody would ask about my marital status.
Falling in love is such a wonderful thing but every time I began to look at my own family and the times we went through, all those supposedly good feelings when you fall in love just simply went crashing down, and I eventually lost interest in courting a woman or sometimes even stop falling in love. I began too see myself as one not deserving to have a family.
So many women come and go, one of them I deeply love (and I still love her), and I just let them go because of the fear that I would end up having the same dysfunctional and lonely family that I belong. I’m just like a magnet, I draw them close to me, because I want to feel the warmth of love, but when they become too close, I began to repel. in my adult life, I never really have a long lasting relationship because of the life that I have.
But I pray to God that whatever happens to my life, whether I remained single or not, my life must be directed towards Him and to Him alone. Every good thing I receive, I give thanks because they are just a foretaste of greater things to come when I enter His Kingdom. And for every bad thing I receive, I would still give thanks, because it is a reminder that all things here on earth, both good and bad, don’t last forever because we are not meant to live here for eternity, we are all wired to Him and we will eventually go to Him.
Right now, I’m still single and my hopes for having somebody to love is dimming, but I hope that with my recent decision to pour my love to Him would fill up the emptiness and loneliness that I’m feeling right now. And I hope that through your prayers too, Bro. Bo, I can find my peace here on earth. God bless you Bo.
thank you bro bo! for the wonderful article. continue inspiring other people and spreading the Good News. God bless..
hi brod bo,
i’m so inspired by your blog. I’m a working mother for 20 yrs and my husband is a seafarer. we’ve been married for 19 yrs na and i raised my kids alone most of the time. i really managed my time for our kids doing father and mother task. . when my husband arrives, i see to it that i have both time for him and my kids. it’s a very challenging job. my husband spend a quality time to our kids. there were time when our kids got sick, feeling ko nabuntisan ako kasi ako lang mag-isa.
Now my children are 18 (girl), 16 (boy)and 13 (girl), para kaming magka barkada lang. bonding kami palagi kahit sa bahay lang. we sleep in 1 bed, magalit ang 1 kundi siya ang katabi ko . kinabusan kailangan si ate na naman ang katabi ko, kinabukasan c kuya naman katabi ko. ganyan kami since maliit pa sila. can you imagine mga malalaki na sila ngayon. kahit parang sardinas kami sa isang bed basta magkatabi lang kami.
mawala lahat ng pagod pagka gabi nagkwentuhan kami.
tama ka brod bo, quality time talaga.
i teached them to say “i love you” everyday at “i’m sorry” pag nagka sala., “please” pag makisuyo. asking sorry is the hardest thing to do pag hindi ka sanay.
may you continue to be an inspiration to others.
God bless.
gemma
swak na swak itong talk mo Bro.Bo kaya yong dream ko to have an audience w/ you lalo naging intense. I hope one day this will materialize, that is, if i am not “asking for d moon” so to speak or am I. I hope
not inspite of your hectic sched. But if I am, i will try to
understand.
thanks bro bo for always inspiring me with your articles and for letting us see things more clearly….
looking forward for your new article here….
God blessed you and your family always….
Hi Bro. Bo! ^_^
Thank you for reminding me this. I used to live my life by these principles but since I entered med school I realized that relationships weren’t important for me anymore. I hope I’ll still have a chance to rebuild my old relationships. Pray for me.
God bless!
HI all, Hi Bro Bo,
My father pass away recently. Everybody knows I am a daddy’s girl but to my surprise and everyone else’s I accepted my dad’s death whole heartedly.
Because what keeps me going is the thought that when my father was still alive we have the best relationship a father and daughter could ever have.
Granted there are few “tampuhans” but we are bestfriends.
My reason for sharing this : Make the most out of your relationships while you still can because when they’re gone that’s it .You will find strength in the times you spent together. And will still believe that Life is still worth living despite his absence.
thank you for such a wonderful message..it was very inspiring. And I’m going to share it to my family because my parents and my sisters “nagkaron ng mga samaan ng loob”.. I hope this message would help to bring back the happy days.
Bo,
Your article is really a path for me..,God bless you and more power!
thank you Bro.Bo for that very inspirational article. Sakto tlga sa situation ko ngayon! Thanks a lot! God bless!
Dear Brother BO,
Greetings of Peace!
The miracles of God occur everyday and this is what I strongly agree based on your book entitled, “How to Live a Life of Miracles”. Since 2006, I have been an avid fan of your several writings which contributed to my professional growth and healing over a family crisis. As a Muslim woman who loves peace within my family and community, I decided to communicate with you so I can extend my sincere gratitude for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and strong faith in God despite the challenges in life. You know, everytime I viist my daughter in Manila who used to be a UP physical therapy student (now at UP College of Medicine), my trip wouldn’t be complete without visiting National Bookstore inorder to check your latest book. This time, am reading your book entitled, “CHOOSE TO BE WEALTHY”. Your books had enlightened my views and beliefs in life. As a consequence, I have experienced many miracles like loving myself more, implementing a family business and strengthening the stability and harmony within my family. For this, I say, Thank you so much Brother Bo for being an instrument towards my renewed life.
Furthermore, I hope to meet you personally in Manila and discuss the possibility of inviting you to visit our place, Zamboanga City and organize an inspirational seminar. Although, we have different religion, I know that you can touch lives of many people here in Mindanao into creating a better life, just the way you described in your book, How to Conquer Your Goliaths”. I am a nurse by profession and I can feel that through your talk, this will contribute to peace advocacy, changing beliefs into positive thoughts and creating abundance in life so we can a build a better Mindanao especially in the ARMM Region.
Again, thank you Brother Bo and may Almighty God allow us to meet someday.
Very truly yours,
MRS. IRENE P. TILLAH
Hi Bo, Thank you for sharing a lot of inspiration to your readers. I\’m a newbie reader of your site and I enjoy every blessed moment being with you and with God through your websites. My first time to see your website is through the Calamba-on-line blog as i was looking for some places to go in Calamba on my bday after election….You inspired me more than i could ever imagine! You know , i\’m already a subscriber of Godwhispers for the past six months (not knowing it\’s from you) i was blessed to read about it from a crumpled scratch paper at work, i got interested so I subscribe and I’m enjoying the messages from it, not just enjoying but its lifting up my spirit. In today\’s transition at work , it’s quite challenging…almost at the point of giving up….what keeps me going is the fact that I know I’m one of those being who’s been placed in wherever i am right now to offer service in God’s name. It then makes a fulfilled day . Though most of my days are occupied at work, for many years now, i made my days off a time for family. But because of this beginning passion of hearing your talks, I’ve already set up a date with you on June 12 , I’ll be attending your seminar.(~_~). I know that I’ll gain more on that Truly Rich Club seminar and that I’ll be able to have more time with family while learning about financial and spiritual abundance .
More power to you Bo!
Heaven bless you!

Hi Bro. Bo,
My mom was a full time housewife.
Like what you said, not all moms can do that.
That’s true. Some moms need to work and run businesses.
But I’m really thankful that my mom did.
I think it’s one of the noblest thing a mother can do- to be with her children and take care of them and watch them grow and of course protect and guide them.
That’s why I would love to do what my mom did- express love at it’s deepest- by becoming a full-time mom myself someday.
I’m excited.
To become a Wonderful Mom, a Fantastic Wife and a Phenomenal Human being God intended me to be.
God bless Bro. Bo
When we were born, we are the one who is crying and everybody around us is smiling… I hope when I die, I’m the one who is smiling and everybody around me is crying….
“So I follow a powerful suggestion given in John’s book: When you’re making a decision in life, ask your older self for advice.”
Bro. Bo, what a very unique advice. i’ve never seen myself asking advice from MY older self…which is really very clever but mature…..
going back to the article, i almost cried…..now, i value and will value my relationships MORE….i’m in the middle of a family crisis and i think i know now what to do with it….thanks….
thanks for the article. im am currently at a crossroads with my relationships right now. will surely ask my older self for advice when that important moment of making the big decision comes.
Pawi lahat ang pagod ko when i read your blogs…
Thanks Bo!
Hi Bro. Bo,

Hi Bo,
Lately seems Im lost and felt bad coz there were several things happened in my life. I tried to cope those traumatic things and lately there was a special someone that came into my life…im not being good to him most of the time coz I dont like to happened again the traumatic experience in my life last year. Most I caught myself of thinking of many things and reflecting and today when i wake up I saw your blogs online. Now I realized one thing in my life… that my relationship to him is A BIG BLESSING & made me HAPPIEST EVER IN MY LIFE. Right now I dunno how to tell him how much i appreciate and thankful I am for having him in my life coz I been so bad to him … to the point I began to hate myself for hurting him much so i gone shy to show and say that I love him so and appreciate him so much in my life. I want him to know that I APOLOGIZE for everything I done and he’s the biggest blessing I got last CHRISTMAS & THIS NEW YEAR! I thanked Him for being still loving and patient to me. I want him to know that I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND IM THE HAPPIEST WOMAN when I MET HIM and I APPRECIATE him VERY MUCH!
Thanks for your inspiring blogs! Pls always include us to your prayers.I hope thru this I was able to let him know how sorry I am for ally sins. You are indeed a blessing to me, Bro Bo. THANKS.
Sincerely,
OYIN
God is not after one’s happiness. He is after one’s character. He wants a person to be Christ like gradually and eventually that’s why He allows circumstances even painful ones, even the ones that makes us worry, in order to mold a person to be someone He wants him to be.
Thanks for this reminder Bro Bo!
