Everything You Need To Be Happy Is Within You By: Bro.Bo Sanchez

Bo’s Note: I’m still dizzy with a “spiritual” hangover.  Why?  We ended our 4-Day KerygmaConference 2013 yesterday—and it was beyond amazing.  Imagine: 20,000 happy people were there yesterday—now inspired and ready to bless the world.  I’ll tell you more about it some other time.  Before I end, I just want to give a big THANK YOU to the 1300+ fantastic volunteers who made our Conference historic!  I love you, guys.  You’re amazing!   And now, for my message…

Everything You Need To Be Happy Is Within You

It was Sydney Smith who said, To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.  I believe him.

At the end of the day, there’s only one thing that can make you happy.  It’s called love.

A cliché?  So what?  It’s the truth.

You’re born for love. 

You’re designed for it.  Every cell of your body, every part of your soul is created for love.  I’m shouting it from the rooftops: Only love can make you truly happy…

       Surround yourself with love.  And practice it daily!

People in their deathbeds never say, “I wish I bought a Ferrari,” or “I wish I spent more time in my office…”  Listen to people in their dying hour and you’d hear the same regret: “I wish I spent more time loving…,”

I believe that relationships are the most important things in our lives—more important than all the wealth in the world.

By the way, how many of you have tried to quench your thirst with salt water?

Don’t bother trying.  It doesn’t work.

The only thing that saltwater does is make you even thirstier.

Money is like saltwater.   No amount of money will quench your inner thirst for love and happiness.  It’ll only make you thirstier.  You want more and more and more until you drop dead from spiritual malnutrition.

       Learn to love everyday!

       Let this be your highest ambition in life: To be a great lover!

       So when the money comes, you’ll make money a servant of love.  (As a financial mentor, I always teach people to earn more money—so that we can use money to love more.)

       Everything you need to be happy is within you.

Ask yourself: Are you a loving person?  Are you kind, generous, forgiving?  Do you love yourself too?  Rate yourself from 1 to 10, with 10 being most loving.  You’ll notice that your score will be your score for personal happiness too. 

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

Let Money Make You Holy By: Bro.Bo Sanchez

      Yes, money can make you holier!

      This can be a shock to some of you.

      I’ve met people who say, “Earning too much money means I’ll not be pleasing to God anymore.”

      I don’t agree.

      I believe that if you handle money the way God wants you to handle money, and then it’ll draw you closer to Him. 

       There’s a big difference between sayings, “I want to get rich for myself!” and “I want to earn more so I can bless the world!”

       The gulf between these two is astronomical.

       One will give you peace.  The other, misery.

       The latter will give you wings for your flight to Heaven.  The former?  A special necklace with a ten-ton boulder as pendant.

      Personally, I’ve made my choice a long time ago.

      I want the wings!

      I want to earn money and love God with every cent I have.

      Because of these beliefs, for many years now, I give a lot of my income away, and have enormous joy doing so.

      Friends, you have a choice.

       You can let money make you evil and corrupt and selfish and miserable.  Or you can let money make you closer to God and happy forever.  As the Bible says, Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.  (2 Corinthians 9:10)

      Ask yourself: Has your money made you holier?  Or has it made you un-holier?

Work On Your Soul First—

And Later On, Your Money

      Remember: If you’re spiritual and emotional life can’t handle the financial blessing, it will destroy you.  Because your spiritual and emotional life is the basis for your financial life.

      Why? I believe a healthy spiritual and emotional life will make you faithful, loyal, humble, loving, honest, and responsible—stuff you need for earning AND managing your money.

      Let me tell you a story about my friend Sally (You know this isn’t her real name.)  For years, Sally was struggling financially.  Because she couldn’t keep a stable job.  I remember she even had to borrow money from me to attend our prayer meetings.

      One day, Sally’s father was killed in an accident at work—and his company was partly at fault.  The company was afraid of being sued and so gave my friend’s family millions in an out-of-court settlement.

       Sally was now awash with a sea of money!  From someone who had no transportation money to attend a prayer meeting, she now drove a brand new car.  Ironically, she stopped attending the prayer meeting because she said she became too busy with her “new” life.

       But after two years, we were shocked to hear that Sally sold her car as all the money she had was now gone. 

       Soon, Sally went back to begging for transportation money so that she could attend our prayer meetings again.

       Such a sad story.

       What happened?

      Sally’s spiritual and emotional life wasn’t ready for the amount of money she received.

       I urge you: Work on your soul first—and later—your wallet.

      May your dreams come true,

      Bo Sanchez
