To be, or not to be.... remarkable!

Here I am,

I’m being away from blogin on the last couple of weeks, and I can tell that I’m being really busy, and write a long list of justifications of not writing, but the fact is that I haven’t write, and that is lack of commitment with myself, so starting today, I’ll try to go back to my original commitment where I stated that I’ll be writing something EVERY day, so here is today’s post:

Yesterday I went to Muvico cinemas with Sol and Sarai and we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, and every time we go to that Movie cinema, my daughters are exited. Also last night my two teen went also to that movie theater to watch a movie and to chill out… My daughters enjoy a place that is more expensive than Weston8 cinemas, that is another theater that is close to our neighborhood and Muvico is always packed. I enjoyed the movie from the characters created in 1957 and brought to live by the wonderful Computer animation graphics and the technology that allows to make any character to look real on the screen.

After the movie a questioned myself: Why if Muvico is farther and more expensive than Weston8 people prefer to go over there, even me?

Because the ambience.

That is a reason why we some times we cannot get our ideas or projects fulfilled. We know those are great ideas, inventions or places… but we don’t wrap them on the right way, with something remarkable. What makes something remarkable is its uniqueness and it takes us extra effort to think for something ‘remarkable’.

How remarkable is your life today? How remarkable are the way you are presenting your life in front of others? How remarkable are, not your projects, but the way you are presenting it to the world?

To really succeed as leader you have to look for remarkable even on the small things on your life, because those are the little things that can turn a simple piece of paper onto a huge mega project.

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it. I remember one of the first things I learned from my grandmother it was the value of my word. "A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

And they lived happily ever after...

This is where most fairy tales end. The prince and princess marry and ride off into the sunset to begin their new life together as husband and wife, a life full of promise, romance, and above all, love. (Check out Shreck, Sleeping beauty, Snow White and others...) But no one has ever told us how this is supposed to happen, or why it succeeds if it does. How a marriage can be a fairy tale come true, and how to "happily ever after" happens? That is only the beginning... Today, I went to the Pete and Julie's wedding... awesome... a dream come true... great service, great sermon by Pastor Garland, a lot of wishes, toasts, music, joy, party and fun... but... that is not and Happy Ending... is just a great beginning. The Best Man said few words, but the most wise words he mentioned was... "I hope you keep Christ as the center of your marriage, if you do that, I'll warranty you a happily ever after life" That's a true that we have to keep in mind not just at th...

The Saints....

According to the Catholic tradition, all the Christian names have a saint, so when you baptize an infant you must give them one saint name to be accepted by the priest. All the saint names are distributed all over the 365 days of the Gregorian calendar and when a new saint is approved by the Vatican, a celebration day is assigned. Why am I explaining all of this? Just because yesterday, was the day of “Saint Arturo”, and immediately I received a phone calls from Mexico, from my sisters, my big brother and two cousins. I used to celebrate my “Saint day” with a big party, and in order to be invited to the celebration, you had to call me by phone, congratulate me, and there you where invited. I was used to receive between 80-120 calls… The first one it was always my mom, I loved that call… I missed that call yesterday. After that, call, after call, and my answer, was “thanks for remember I hope to see you tonight after 9 p.m. will be fun” I used to had live music and some times there was...
