Invest in Your Core Gift: Darryl’s Quest for The Voice

Let me take a breather from all the money topics I’ve been blogging lately to give way to a talent and music-related story that I would like to share and promote to my dear readers.

I have always been a supporter of people who are passionate on their craft are appreciating their blessings by using their core gifts to enrich themselves and to inspire others.

My friend, Darryl Shy, now 44 years old, has just been chosen and made it to the first round of the Blind Audtions of The Voice of the Philippines‘ debut run.

His music is just so awesomely powerful. Continue reading Invest in Your Core Gift: Darryl’s Quest for The Voice

This TEDxTalk session from Nick will awaken the hopeless part in you. Just like Nick, I have to admit that there was a time when I wanted to end my life. And I am so grateful to God that He has been faithful to me despite me losing hope when I was younger.

Do we see our real value? Do we look beyond the value of our money? Our investments? our jobs? Our businesses? Our relationships?

Nick tells us to never lose hope. To see the beauty in us. He asserts that the willpower is a driving force for making our big dreams come true. Nick says that if we don’t get a miracle in life, we can always be a miracle to someone else. Continue reading Overcoming Hopelessness – Nick Vujicic at TEDxNoviSad
