LOST & FOUND: What's Missing?

last sunday, it was a very bed weather theme outside. drizzling just outside and its really hard to open my eyes at a very early time of day. but I still acted in-spite of what im feeling and what my mood was. i got up, took a bath (kahit sobrang lamig) ang dressed up to meet with other very extra-ordinary beings. our meeting place was a mcdonald's branch somewhere in ortigas,i was expecting a very casual type of coaching and mentoring with the greatest coach i've met. i assumed it was just about how to be teh right and almost perfect moderator in one of our activities, but i was wrong. it started out as what i expected but got a bit deep as we went along. then our two coaches started to ask us, "What's missing in you ?" hmmmm,,you know being around these two always made me think and made my mind work extra hours. what was missing in me? i never really thought about that,have you? we all listened for everyone's turn to share what's missing in them,,the typical skills, learnings, growth, more learnings where the usual words i heard and remembered but when my turn came up i was dumb founded, trying my best to think what else could be missing in me? more leaders? more sign ups? more guests? more time? that's what i blurted out, then it came to me from the all mighty T.R.T. (hehehe) dont focus on what i really want but focus on others WHYs,,i wanted to react but i never did,,aha!!! i controlled my feelings,i was confronted with this simple statement,it made me realize i really need to remember all the things that matter to me and i can only achieve them by helping more people around me. i cannot create 1000 new millionaires by focusing on what i want,,i'll say it again,,I CANNOT CREATE 1000 NEW MILLIONAIRES BY FOCUSING ON WHAT I WANT!!! THAT'S IT,,i got it,,true wealth is measured by knowing your flaws and making an inch by inch effort to correct it and sharing what you got form it to others, empowering them and transforming them not fixing them. now i can ask,,you,,what's missing?
