Dear Mr. Lloyd,
I’m glad to have seen your column. I also read
your blog and I’ve learn so much about your works and indeed
it’s great to know that you’re doing all these stuffs. By the
way, I’ve been in my day job for eight years now but it seems like
I don’t enjoy it. How do you think can I solve this? Thanks.

Dear friend,
First, let me thank you for your time reading my
blog. I thank God that you’ve learned from those writings.
For your question, I only have a short share of
story to tell you. If you want to be happy, you have to appreciate
small accomplishments and achievement that you had. You don’t have
to look around for those grand successes. It’s just about you and
your perception of what success really means.
I finally got a Blackberry Handheld. It’s one
goal that I set and achieve for my self. It’s another miracle
unveiled before my very eyes. We can get what we desire if we will
just commit our selves to get it (or attract it).
This “corporate phone” used by executives
all around the world as a status symbol somehow reduced the painful
event that I experienced even prior to the D! Day of John Maxwell
Leadership Summit Live Simulcast. I have to tell you it was never
easy to get through it all. I know I managed to hang on with Him
totally guiding me and my spirit to just hang on.
Still many people are puzzled of what really
transpired. And until now, I keep it to myself except for some
really close friends. I don’t want to badmouth other people for I
know that God has His own unique way of rewarding the people are
doing well and “punishing” those who don’t.
Anyway, two days ago my staff and I talked to
the owner of the building where we are to move in July. It was a
great negotiation and I could never find the best deal anywhere else
other than that. I was able to get what I want without compromising
the “need” of the one I negotiate with.
We canvassed for some construction materials and
office furniture to make up our new home. We’re very excited to
move in because we can sense countless opportunities on their way.
Right after John Maxwell experience, we feel that those challenges
really intend to make us stronger as a team. It was a personal
battle for me but when I realized that many people get hurt of the
situation, and many still come out to show their concern, I thought
it was never a one-man battle. It’s a team!
And so I’d like to thank those souls who
stayed by me. I really appreciate your prayers. They made me
stronger. I can’t imagine what could have happened were it not for
your words of encouragement!
Hmmm. Welcome, Blackberry! Join me as we explore
a new ocean of challenges and opportunities.
This story is just one way to stay happy.
Appreciate every little thing that comes into your life and you’ll
see how happy life really is.
Your life coach,
BigL
