Be HHWH- Happy Healthy Wealthy and Holy

Day 1

Hi There!

I believe all are in search for true happiness, correct?

Almost all of those who are past 40 seeks also to be healthy, right?

And we all want to be wealthy as well, correct again?

Can we be all of these three plus be Holy as well?

Yes indeed we can be. Do you agree with me?

You may react on this now....

Actually, these state of one's mind and being are inter-connected.

For it is useless to be wealthy if you are not happy.

Your happiness will be incomplete if you are not healthy.

All the first three are physical and material, while the fourth focus on the soul.

Will tackle this more detailed day by day.

I hope to see your comments and reactions.

Day 2

Holistic approach to life therefore is to be Happy Healthy Wealthy and Holy.

Each one poses a challenge for indeed life is full of challenges.

I was born poor. My father is a policeman and my mother did not have any business or work to support the meager income of my tatay. We are twelve and I'm the fifth among the dozen.

But, was I happy then ? Of course I am. Through life's challenges, the days when we have so much hardship and less in life , we have more than enough love to go by with. Nanay loves us all very much and so did our tatay.

Happiness therefore is not a factor directly linked to wealth. When my brothers and sisters talk about our youth when we were still all together as one family, we do remember the difficulties, but more so the fun and happiness we had. Bottom-line, the happiness we have are extracted from our relationships with one another. A loving relationship. A "nurturing relationship".

Bro Bo in his "Feasts" which happens every Sunday at Valle Verde talked about "Unlocking the Secrets to Extreme Happiness". He has this loving relationship or "Nurture Connections" as one of the main factor. You may want to request the March 15 to May 10 , 2009 issue of the Feast Weekly Bulletin at email: feastbulletin@gmail.com.

Another factor to achieve happiness is to always stay positive. Look around you and you will certainly find people who complains a lot, gripes a lot on so many or anything at all. Compare him or her with someone who finds something good in everything that happens. Who do you think is happy?

I read about a German billionaire who lost a lot of money in his stocks investments and was left with just a little over a billion dollars in his estate. You know what he did? He committed suicide by jumping off a rail track to be hit by a speeding commuter train. Why do you think he did that? He focused on what he lost (the negative) rather than be thankful for what remained with him. 1 Billion over $$$ is a lot of money and he did not see it!

We were poor , but we were blessed with good brains. We studied hard and most of us got scholarships that enabled us to finish college. I for one maintained my State Scholarship Grant and completed a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I did not focus on what we did not have, I capitalize on the blessing I posses.

You want to be HAPPY.. those two are enough...but, we will tackle more .. I promise you.

God bless.
