Many Filipinos do not believe in their own capacity to run a business or to be rich. You might say, “I don’t have the guts to… I am not good at… I am shy… I don’t have the skills to… etc.”
The truth is that most rich people are not special in any way – except that they have more money. They are not any smarter, and they are not necessarily famous singers, actors, actresses, sports stars, or inventors. They are just ordinary people who understand the secret of building wealth – and have put it to work.
And you can do the same… It's simply a question of making a decision and thinking the right thoughts.
If singing, acting, or sports are not your gifts, that doesn’t make you less fortunate. I believe God gave each one of us special gifts. There are things difficult for you to do but there are also things that you do effortlessly.
I don’t think God marked you and me as worthy or unworthy. We choose what labels we tag ourselves with. So if you think you can be a millionaire, you can. And if you think you’ll just be a “thousandaire” (I saw this in one shirt), you can too.
Ask yourself what you are good at, what you enjoy doing, and that will provide service to other people. These are your core gifts, and you can start a business with your core gifts. These gifts that make you special give you the opportunity to bless the world and consequently enrich yourself.
Author Marianne Williamson beautifully put it this way, “We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.”
