How To Use Your Pain To Achieve Great Success
I know people don’t like pain.
I know I don’t.
We avoid it at all costs.
That’s why many people avoid diets, doctors, and dentists.
Because we don’t like pain.
But let me give you a startling fact.
You need pain to survive.
You need pain to succeed in life.
In fact, all permanent success comes from pain.
Any success that doesn’t come from pain will be short-lived.
Check out Lotto Winners.
Yesterday, I was reading the story of Michael, a garbage collector who won $15 Million from Lotto. But after just a few years, he lost all his money and is now trying to get his old job back as a garbage collector.
Another guy named Jack won a staggering $315 Million from Lotto. But he too lost everything after less than 10 years. But he didn’t only lose the money—he also lost his family.
They’re not alone. Go ahead, google “Lotto winners lose money” and you’ll get hundreds of true-to-life tragic stories.
In fact, many Lotto winners say it was a nightmare and wish they never won. Because of winning, their marriages broke up, their families disintegrated, their children turned to drugs, and they lost all their happiness.
Easy come, easy go.
I repeat: Real success comes from pain.
If it didn’t come from pain, it isn’t real success.
Hypothermia
Let me talk about Hypothermia.
Hypothermia is a physical condition whereby your body’s core temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius and shuts down all functions. Including your ability to feel pain.
Remember Titanic?
Our hero Jack died of hypothermia.
And many people who escaped Titanic before it sank eventually died of hypothermia in the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Because they could no longer feel the pain, they just slept and drowned.
Mountain Climbers conquering in Mt. Everest, who get trapped in sub-zero temperature, try hard to wake themselves up. They intentionally give themselves pain to survive.
What does this have to do with you?
Let me explain.
Do You Suffer From Spiritual Hypothermia?
I know of people who have Spiritual Hypothermia.
They’ve become so comfortable in life.
They’ve become soft. They’ve become lax. They’ve become sleepy. And their life has become meaningless. They have no more burning dreams in their lives. And they’ve started to die a slow death.
Why?
There’s no pain in their life.
I now realize that pain is essential to grow in any area of your life—spiritually, relationally, or financially.
How do you wake up from spiritual hypothermia? Pain.
In fact, there are three sources of inner pain.
The 3 Sources Of Inner Pain
The first pain comes from Grief.
The second pain comes from Greed.
And the third pain comes from Giving.
Let me discuss grief first.
First Source Of Inner Pain: Grief
I can’t prove this with a scientific research.
But from the past 30+ years of meeting first-generation financially successful people, 90% of them went through intense pain before they achieved success. And they were able to use that inner pain to fuel their rise to the top.
Let me share with you 4 very successful people and how they used their pain to become successful in life.
Zig Ziglar
Zig Ziglar is a bestselling author and one of the most well-loved motivational speakers in the world.
Yet he grew in poverty. Zig was number 10 of 12 children. And to make things worse, his father died when he was 6 years old.
And life was very hard.
As a small child, he had to work. He worked in a grocery store from 4:30 in the morning to 11:00 near midnight everyday. In case you can’t do the math, that’s an 18-hour workday. For a kid!
Fast forward a few years later, poverty still followed him.
When Zig got married, he applied as a salesman.
But for the first two years, he couldn’t sell his products.
So he had to sell his furniture just so he and his wife could eat. When his daughter was born, the hospital bill was $64. He didn’t even have $64—and had to go out and sell something so he could take his family home.
It was these hardships that fueled his desire to succeed in life.
And succeed, he did. In one year, he became the number one salesman of his company. And later on, he set up his own company and became very successful in life.
Mary Kay Ash
When her marriage failed, Mary Kay was a single mother with 3 kids. And she could hardly make ends meet.
At that time, she was working as a saleswoman in Stanley Home Products, but she wasn’t doing too well in her job. When the company had an annual sales conference, she wanted so badly to go. But she had no money.
So she borrowed money to go there. She also brought with her a bag of biscuits. That was what she ate for the three days conference.
But in that conference, she saw a salesperson go up on stage to receive the Number One Salesperson of the Year Award. When she saw that, she went up to Mr. Stanley, the owner of the company, and told him that she’ll be the next person who will win that award. He smiled and said, “I believe you will.”
The following year, she did go up that stage to receive the Number One Salesperson of the Year award.
Later on, she built her own company, Mary Kay Cosmetics.
When she died in 2003, that single mother’s company had 800,000 saleswomen and making $2 Billion in annual sales.
Anthony Robbins
Tony Robbins grew up in a poor family.
He would steal food in grocery stores—just to be able to eat.
He couldn’t even pay for his rented room.
His electricity was always about to be cut off.
And he couldn’t answer the phone because he owed money from everyone he knew.
One of his most painful experiences was falling in love with a lady, but watching another suitor win her heart. The suitor picked her up in a very expensive car. Tony knew the girl loved him, but she also wanted to be comfortable. He knew he couldn’t provide this for her, and he felt totally worthless.
All this pain became his driving force to get out of is hole.
Tony eventually started 15 companies and created phenomenal success. This once-upon-a-time janitor has become an advisor to three US Presidents, including President Clinton, and other heads of states, such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterrand, and Nelson Mandela.
Joe Girard
Joe Girard had one business failure after another.
One day, he found himself without a job, without money, without savings. He experienced a whole year of poverty.
One morning, his wife told him, “Joe, we have no more food. And our kids are now out on the street begging.”
That day, Joe left the house, applied as a car salesman.
He resolved in his heart that he had to sell a car that day so he could feed his hungry kids.
Before the day was over, he sold a car. He borrowed $10 from his manager. He rushed home with a brown bag of groceries. He was so happy that his family had food to eat that day.
All this pain became a burning fire in him to change his life.
In a few years, he became the Guiness Book of World Records’ greatest car salesman in the world. The typical car salesman sold 7 cars a month. Joe Girard sold 6 cars a day. Or 150 cars every single month.
Use Your Pain From Grief
Pain is fuel.
But like real fuel, it can do two things.
Fuel can catch a spark and explode, destroying everything around it. Or it can be harnessed in an engine and power a rocket to the moon.
What am I saying? Pain can destroy you or develop you.
It depends on how you respond to your pain.
If you respond with faith, pain can be the inner driving force that can change your life. Pain can be your fuel to rocket your launch to success.
Right now, you may be experiencing a lot of pain.
Perhaps you’re family life is a mess.
Perhaps you’re job situation is very tough.
Perhaps you always have no money.
Friend, this is not the end of your story.
You can overcome.
You can rise above your problems.
You can use your pain and make it fuel for you to succeed in life. You can rocket your way out of your pain and into prosperity.
But just as a warning, let me talk about the second source of pain…
Second Source Of Pain: Greed
Greed is painful.
Greed will not let you sleep, rest, or become complacent.
Some rich people become rich because of greed.
Perhaps they started with grief. Perhaps they grew up poor and had so much pain making ends meet—and this started their journey to wealth.
But after awhile, greed took over.
No matter how much money they have, they want more and more and more. They’re never satisfied. Their greed keeps manufacturing pain. They want bigger homes and bigger cars and bigger yachts and bigger diamonds.
But this kind of inner pain is deadly. It’s the pain that will ultimately kill. Because greed leads to empty success.
I compare Greed to Gluttony.
I know someone who is obese.
He weighs 340 pounds.
And yet every time I see him, I see him eating.
Every time we meet, I see him holding a hamburger, a cheesecake, a burrito, or a bag of chips.
I ask him, “Why are you still eating?”
While chewing, he says, “(Chomp) I can’t (Chomp) stop (Chomp) eating.”
“But it’s killing you!”
“I (Chomp) know (Chomp).”
In the same way, a greedy person is so obsessed with money, he doesn’t stop working even if his way of working is killing him.
Thankfully, there is another kind of inner pain.
A beautiful, liberating, and transformational pain.
Third Source Of Inner Pain: Giving
Giving is self-imposed pain.
Giving is voluntarily chosen.
By the way, when you give, and you don’t experience pain, you didn’t really give. Your giving is fake.
When you give, it must hurt you.
When you give, it must shake you up.
When you give, it must disturb your existence.
When you give, it must wake you up from your complacency.
When you give, it must rock your world so much, it creates a hunger in you to keep on earning money so that you can keep on giving.
The Bible says, I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing. (2 Samuel 24:24)
That is why this pain heals.
This pain gives joy.
This pain blesses you.
It’s a cheerful pain!
This pain comes when you give.
Why?
Success Must Have A Reason
Success must have a reason.
And I have found my reason for Success!
I’ve asked this question many times: Why do I keep working, striving, dreaming, growing, expanding, and increasing?
I have enough. Really.
My family and I have clothes on our back.
We have a roof over our heads.
We’ve got food on our table three times a day.
We even have family vacations.
I repeat: We’re okay.
Why do I keep working? Why do I keep expanding my businesses? Why do I try to earn more?
There’s only one answer: So I can give more.
So I can love more.
So I contribute more to God’s work.
So I can give more to God’s poor.
Oh believe me, I’ll never run out of dreams!
The dream of the Kingdom is like the burning bush in my heart—unquenchable and eternal.
I pray that you find your reason for success.
I pray you transform your pain—either from grief or giving—into fuel. Fuel to reach your dreams.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Keep on inspiring others..
eLviN
A lot of factors coming my way, distracting me to earn more…..and there’s so much pain in it. Somehow, i get paralyzed….:-(
I know that this whole thing will help me achieve something - help others, serve others, serve my family and be happy. I long to experience the real joy in giving…
Thank you Brother Bo for this brilliant blog…..i was empowered by this wonderful wisdom….Thank you so much
Bo
thanks for always reminding me that pain is necessary to succeed in life and thanks for writing about stories of other people u knew who succeed in life despite pain.
Thanks for another very inspiring article.
I was really inspired by this: “when you give, and you don’t experience pain, you didn’t really give. Your giving is fake.”
Thanks!
Janmck
Maraming Salamat Kuya Bo.
I hope mas dumami pa ang magbasa ng mga blogs mo, kasi, very inspiring at educational.
Thanks Bro. Bo for this inspiring post. This helps me lot in understanding why we need to suffer and experience PAIN in our LIFE.
Goodbless you more.
Bea
Thanks Bo for that very enlightening message.
More power and God Bless,
Flor
your truly inspirational. i am looking forward to meet you soon.
I’m in deep pain right now Bo and everybody’s condemning me from all the wrong decisions I made in the past…coz Im now suffering the consequences.
I no longer know what to do.
There are offers for me to move on but those people are taking advantage on my weaknesses.
I BADLY NEED AN ADVICE but i believe the pain I’m feeling right now will be an instrument for me to keep on holding on to God and to move on to be able to succeed.
Thanks again Bo for this wonderful article, My family and I also enjoyed hearing your talk on this at the Feast at the PICC. Thanks for the T3 series, we look forward to the start of “Wish” this coming Sunday.
As what I often hear, we need to “Give until it hurts!”. Pain can also fuel one’s passion and it can really sustain one until success is reached.
Thanks for being a blessing!
Thaks brother BO very inspiring message that can able to change the mindsetting of every person who read this
you reminded meof what Father Gerry Juarez told us in one of our marriage encounter several years ago when my husband Benjie was still alive… he said ” no pena… no gana” translated in English is ” no pain.. no gain”.You are absolutely right, pain is what will make you feel happy and successful. God bless you BO… more power!!
i have also experienced this recently. I’m glad that i made God smile when i gave because i gave something that i wanted. God indeed answers my prayers of giving me opportunities to have a generous heart. thank you for this BO! Thank you LORD :]
Hi Bo!
This is powerful stuff. I’ve always avoided pain in my life, yet at the same time I know it’s impossible to avoid pain altogether. Now, I have a better idea of what to do with the pains I have in my life.
Thank you for this wonderful article. I just want to share this quote from Reggie Leach to all your readers as well:
“Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.”
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
(II Cor. 9:7)
I heard this from one of the Salesian priest when I was still in grade school: “GIVE until it Hurts”.
thanks Bo, you don’t know how much I waited you everyday..to hear uplifting words from you..yes, it’s true that pain is like giving love in the open hand…
Dear Bro. Bo:
Your blog is very inspiring. Just as I am about to scream, unfair and all! I want to use this pain to vindicate for my family’s robbed well-being…
Thank you for allowing to be God’s instrument. I pray that I don’t become bitter, nor be destroyed by the fuel in me. And instead be the source of my success, more for the loved-ones that depend on me. I can somehow see the reason now.
Thank you
I wish my pain could turn into cash and riches and other blessings in my life. I wish to have the fuel that Bo does have in order for him to do all the things that he does or just be the same with other fellows out there who are living their lives to the max by following God’s will for their lives. Thanks for the reminder, Bo.
I am now in real pain how to meet ends for my family. Thank you for allowing me to understand what I am going through. I know I will succeed! God said it!
Thank you Bro. Bo!
I have a group of friends and we are in your forum under the Jobs & Finances thread under Stock investing. We share our thoughts about stock investing and our dream is to attract more of our kababayans to change their perception on stock investing and be an investor in our own country. I have a personal blog about investing as well it is www.investinginphilippines.blogspot.com I share all the things I have learned so far and I hope to reach more Pinoys to go into investing and give more to God in any way they can
Bro. Bo,
Good Day Po!
I am always Thankful for always receiving your articles… YOU ARE REALLY AN IDOL and A BLESSINGS… GOD’S USING YOU TO TOUCH PEOPLE LIVES….
MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE SAFE,HEALTHY,HAPPY and A BLESSED ALWAYS …
MORE POWERS FOR YOU IDOL!
Thank You Bro Bo for this inspiring article once again…This is really true…Giving when it hurts is a genuine act of giving…an act of giving coming from the heart….Give until it hurts no more…
Sir Bo,
Thank you so much for sending me many stories that create positive result to my life. I hope i can have more.
Thank you again for everything
Thank you very much Bro.Bo.at the height of my problems and trials in life…your inspiring words enlightened me…..you feed my hungry soul…every morning i’m excited to open my email just to read new email from u…i always read it between the lines.. thank you very much!!!
Thanks Bro. Bo for the message…. I’m in pain at the moment. Pain that sprang from the possibility of failure and resources wasted!
But as you said, I should respond to my pain positively so I’ll have the chance to succeed.
Bo! Thanks so much for this wonderful article. It reminds me of my days in college. If a professor gave me a very low grade than what I truly deserve, I would get really mad at her, even to the point of cursing her. But then I would say to myself, “Channel your anger, Rose” and then I would convert my anger to efforts of studying and then she I would get higher grades. Usually, I succeeded. Pain is really a fuel, and we must use it to achieve our dreams, not to burn them to ashes.
again thank you..
Graveh! This one’s super inspiring. I was touched. Talking about pain…i’ve been through it….a lot of it! And i’m using it as a driving force in achieving my dreams.
Bro. Bo watch me succeed…soon!
Of course with God’s guidance and blessings.
Dearest Bo Sanchez,
I was moved by these lines in your sharing today;
” I pray that you find your reason for success.
I pray you transform your pain—either from grief or giving—into fuel. Fuel to reach your dreams.
May your dreams come true”
It was like there is a silent angel and a friend that always cares and prays for me & each and everyone who reads your post.
God bless your heart!
Another inspiring article. Keep it up, God is blessing many people through you.
thanks Bo! God bless you more and continue to be a blessing ^_^
Thanks Bo for sharing God’s wisdom.
There is truth in the saying NO PAIN, NO GAIN. Funny how we always seem to forget this.
From the very day of our birth, pain has already been a great motivator.
God bless!
Dear bro. Bo,
Thanks so much again for this amazing article. God’s wisdom really flows through you and blessing others like me..this writing is a Word of God artistically designed & made applicable to our present situation…really great..Again, i learned from it esp. in the three sources of pain: Grief, Greed & Giving. I praise God for it made clear for me now that the source of the many pains i am experiencing in my life is giving..It hurts but it heals and most of all, it gives me JOY!
I thank God so much because of you being a blessing to us!
Thanks Bro Bo for this inspiring message since it has struck me. I am a salesman too of office equipments and many times I feel empty even if I have high sales or not. It seems there is something missing and through your inspiring insight, I have every reason to do my best in everything I do. Thank you and more power.
thank you for this inspirational note…this is so perfect for my life right now with all the things happening to me…thank you for giving me hope this Monday…=)
Brother Bo,
THanks for the inspiration.
i admit i’ am in the state of hypothermia i feel so numb.. no happiness no pain…no feelings.. and i was like a living dead and i don’t even know if still believe in God and to myself..i feel like a wind no gravity no everything..but after reading this i told to my self wake up…dream..feel…live
Thank you for making us realize that we should not fear pain and believe that we can turn pain into success. God bless!
Hi Kuya Bo,
Thank you! Wow! I do not know why, but thank you, thank you. Because your article today is very fitting to the present situation I have right now. You are an angel to my heart. You always inspire me everyday of my life. Thank you for all your prayers Kuya Bo. I love you. God Bless you always and your family.
Hi Kuya Bo,
Thank you! Wow! I do not know why, but thank you, thank you. Because your article today is very fitting to the present situation I have right now. You are an angel to my heart. You always inspire me everyday of my life. Thank you for all the prayers Kuya Bo. I love you. God Bless you always and your family.
very inspiring, truly i didn’t waste my time reading, though i have an exam tomorrow.
more powers Bo.
God bless you more.
Thanks for the inspiring article. I know a lot of people who experienced pain and later on turned to greed. My husband’s aunt who is a doctor living here in the U.S. for 20 years, and every time someone asks her for help, she always say”wala akong pera.” How I wish everyone could turn their unpleasant experience of pain into becoming more like Jesus Christ who despite of all the pain He experienced on earth being crucified, still embrace sinners with all His heart.
You never cease to impress me every time Bro. Bo. So much in fact that I’m becoming more of an advocate of your vision. It’s limitless and I’ll never see the end of it. It may sound crazy to others, but with you and those who follow your vision, it’s just a prayer away.
God will find ways for these things to take place in His accordance… and I’m heading there one inch at a time.
God bless you Bro. Bo. Continue to inspire us with your vision.
gud eve Bro. bo,
WoW! thnks for that mind-blowing message,,now i know what to do with my pains…great blog..
more power!!!
Thanks again brother Bo for this inspirational letter
I know someone who is really experiencing financial, physical and relational pain but can\’t manage to use it as a fuel to reach his dreams and what he wanted, better he is not using it to destroy himself. Everytime he wanted to rise, his wrong decision from the past keeps haunting him not because he has not yet forgiven his mistakes but because every time he applies for work they all required at least 2nd year college which will always remind him of his wrong decision. May God continue to bless you and your family!:)
Many thanks Bro. Bo for explaining us what will be the return when we get in pain in life, it really empowered me so much..
Hope you will always continue to inspire more people, like me..God bless you and your ministry…

Thanks again Bro. Bo you always inspire me.
God Bless & More Power!!!!!
This is another heart warming message from you Bro Bo.I believe this message is anointed by God to touch His people on how to overcome pain and eventually turn it into a blessed giving. As an OFW and on my journey to financial freedom, I am passing thru a lot of pains that triggers me to strive more. I am a student of Trace, this is a reminder to keep my motivation to success is not greed but my love to serve His kingdom for all these material possessions are just temporal and our citizenship is in Heaven. God bless you Bro. Bo. In Christ alone. Lito Panis, OFW from Kuwait
Thanks! For a jobless, savings-drained, single mother like me, this is enough fuel… God bless you more!
thanks again for very inspiring blog BROTHER BO^_^
Thank you so much for a very inspiring words. I believe that once you embrace ” PAIN, ” life would be so light and easy to handle… I am experiencing pains in my marriage that sometimes i feel so alone but i always turn to GOD. I always cry , it’s my way of releasing pain in my heart because i don’t want to tell as much as possible anyone except GOD what am feeling deep inside. I want to let the people see that our marriage is fine specially my parents and siblings. I am also protecting my son, he is innocent and i don’t want him to grow up without a father whom he adores so much. In our 14 years of being together , i still hope that someday my husband will realize how much i love him. Probably not this time but someday, somehow and somewhere….Love brings joy, a joy of which roots come from a cross………. Embrace the pain……
thanks bro bo! your blogs are so so inspiring…thanks for inflicting pain in my core being…after reading, i somehow came to life again… ! God bless you, your family and to the entire staff !
Thank you Bo! I hope to speak and share all about this as well.
God bless you more!:)
Thanks Bro. Bo… You are a blessing to my life. Many things have changed in my life since the first time I read your articles and Videos. I’ve been praying to the Lord that He will give me wisdom since my childhood. Now, I found it in you. May God Bless you more that you may also touch more lives. In my own way, I will help you spread God’s word and wisdom.
thanks bro bo. so inspiring. God bless!
Thanks Bo! God must have been using your articles like this to answer my queries. Praise Him!
Hi My Beloved Bro. Bo Sanchez,

hi bro. bo,
i love this blog bro. bo very uplifting. thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you!
Pain is inevitable but it is in pain that God shows us a glimpse of His plan for us.
Thank you for a beautiful article..Bo can I ask your opinion about “Tough Love”? what’s it’s meaning? considered tough love ba na tikisin mo na wag padalhan ng pera ang magulang mo(who are 65 y.o.) in order na wag maging dependent ang mga kapatid mo sa kanila? is it right? Well, my sisters believed in that.. I hope you can enlighten us by writing an article about it.. thanks and God bless you.
True , it’s human instinct to avoid pain and suffering. But one should wonder and be worried if pain does not come one’s way . — ( though difficult it may be / or easier said than done. ) Pain and suffering identifies us with Christ. That’s how Saints became Saints. The crosses that we bear daily, big or small , would prepare us to the heavenly joy that awaits in the life hereafter. It purifies the soul to be worthy of the everlasting joy with God in His Kingdom !
Let us carry our daily crosses with joy !
BE HAPPY ALL !!!
Thanks Bro. Bo and family !
kuya bo, what should I do when that pain of fuel explodes and destroys me? can I still recover? can I still stand? can I still go on? won’t I be destroyed again? won’t I be experiencing pain again?
Thanks Bro. Bo!!! I do remember when every time my family send me to the airport and see my wife and daughter crying really breaks my heart, and the pain of leaving them behind is seem unbearable, its like leading a big part of your life into emptiness, though my heart was strengthen what I could give and the rewards of going overseas may be so much, still, the pain of leaving them behind makes me ask God to give me a new career and really gives me a big desire to find a new source of income. Pa pray naman bro! Hirap ng malayo sa family.Thank you and God Bless!!!
just like ann, ive also experienced what she had experience. for the past 4 years of having pains in my marriage, i can no longer take it, this week and to be exact on 6 Sep 2010, i decided to let go of him. anyway, staying together in one roof would not give any good, for me and my kids as well. i already stopped crying coz i feel crying would only make myself more miserable. now i am focusing on my children’s welfare and more especially to my work which where i get my daily earnings to finance all of my family’s expenses. i now consider myself a single mom and that i pray to God that He will always guide me in whatever decisions i make and all the endeavors me and my children would take.
thank you so much mr bo for giving such wonderful write up… it is so inspiring to people like me/us…
more power and mabuhay po kayo!.
thanks Bro. Bo..for this inspiring article…Gusto ko rin ishare ang isang salita dun sa napanood na korean novela na sabi ng isang bida ” GAWING MONG INSPIRASYON ANG MGA PAGHIHIRAP NA NARANASAN MO PARA MALAMPASAN LAHAT ANG PAGSUBOK SA BUHAY”…PAIN…thanks po ulit…
maraming salamat Bro. Bo. You never fail to inspire millions of people. That includes me. God bless you..
hm mm Its my turned..
i experience the pain for another stages in my life.. Pain of love.. i don’t know what to do, at the time.. i saw them in the mass.. i feel all the emotion inside my heart..
but all what i did as god for forgiveness.. coz i did not finish my mass because of that day..
logically speaking i hope i can move on now at this stages.. so that i could use the pain to forget.. him ..
thank you brother Bo.. hope u will pray for me.. and this word i always bring …
if you had a relationship that didn’t work out, don’t just say, “I have a broken heart.” Say, “I have a broken heart but I know the best is yet to come. Someone better will walk into my life and I will find my one true love.”

daghang salamat Bro. Bo..
Everytime I read your message I felt so much happiness and after reading your article I keep silent for me to think my reflections..
“Easy come, easy go.
I repeat: Real success comes from pain.
If it didn’t come from pain, it isn’t real success.”
thank you so much..
Thy will e done!
Dearest Bro. Bo,

Bro Bo,
Right now I am experiencing so much pain, I guess it’s due to spiritual hypothermia. Please do pray for me, I really want to give more to my family especially to my parents who are still working so hard at their age right now. But my problem is I feel that I am losing the enthusiasm, the fire that was keeping me and my dreams so alive before.
Please do pray for me, I hope you can send me an email. Thank you.
Bro. Bo,
Once again thank you for this inspiring message. Everytime i experience pain, i will always remember God’s message thru you. I was really hurt and cried in grief last night after reading a text message from my sister-in-law which is worst than a slap on my both cheeks. It was really painful but i tried to overcome it and prayed that God will help me to forgive and understand her. I will just read your articles to console & comfort me. Thank you & God bless you & your family as always.
thanks bo for this great reminder….I was thinking of committing a suicide brought by financial struggles. I’ve got lots of biils due the next day, I don’t know what to do, I’m in dire pain. But your words came in like a bolt of lightning. I’m awake that it’s never to late, never to late to succeed despite all this pain.
what a relief… we all can use pain as fuel for success…
Dear Bro Bo,
Thank you. You’re God’s gift for all of us…
I realized how selfish I am. I give when it is convenient for me. I’d give my time for my other activities but would say NO to opportunities to serve you. I share what is excess. Sometimes, i don’t give at all because I want to keep more, to save more…
Lord… Teach me to be generous in all aspects of my life.
Hi Bro Bo!!!
Muli mo na naman ginising ang diwa’t damdamin ko Bro Bo, I can’t deny to myself that deep within me, Im in pain cuz I can’t get what I want…a desired man to marry, a succesful career and business and lastly, trust of family and friends..I realize it’s okay that we’re in pain as long as these will serve as inspiration to strive harder in the fulfillment of our dreams…So thank you very much Bro Bo for keep on sharing your thoughts to us as your readers to make our lives be blessed and most of all the learnings how to outwit the challenges and embrace glory and triumph with GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!
Avid reader,

Thanks Bro. Bo.. You reminded me of what Mother of Theresa (Calcutta) once said. Giving what you don’t need is not love at all…
Hi bo
