On HEART WOUNDS and RELATIONSHIPS


Allow me to start by asking one important question:

“Are you really, really, really happy?”

(That’s the title of one of Bro. Bo’s bestselling book)

“Every living human being on this planet, at one point in their life or even at present are experiencing HEART WOUNDS. We tend to do crazy things, like entering into some forms of addiction… its because we have a heart wound – which can only be healed by love. A love found in relationships."

-“Your relationships will determine your happiness and success in every area of your life "

- ..”if you squeeze out the essence of life, you realize that life is all about relationships. ”

- "....relationships ..... They don’t go on autopilot.
Relationships are like wind-up toys.
If you don’t wind it up, the ballerina stops dancing and playing music."

When your relationships aren’t working, it’s because you’ve not been
winding them up.

".. at the end of the day, that’s what life is all about... I’ve realized that if you fail in your relationships, you fail in life.”

- “Work on your relationships… Relationships need renewal or they die...”

NOTE: One last thing, the relationship that Bro. Bo is referring to is not confined only to the common “husband and wife” relationship. There’s more….

How’s your relationship with, GOD, YOURSELF AND OTHERS? …

On Bro. Bo's "Stop Trying to Fix People"


What You Like And What You Don’t Like

Maybe One And The Same Thing



"....the very thing that made you crazy for a person will be the very same thing that will drive you crazy in the years to come."

Proof No. 1: "
If you fell in love with your wife because she was bubbly and the life of the party, today, you want to zip her mouth so that there would be world peace."

Proof No. 2: "
If you fell in love with your husband because he was quiet, strong, and steady as a rock, today, you want to curse him for being so cold and unresponsive—like you’re talking to a rock."

Proof No. 3: "
If you fell in love with your wife because of her stunning beauty, today, you find yourself pulling your hair in the car, waiting for her because she takes 3 hours just to dress up and put on her make-up"

Proof No. 4: ".... Celfones -
I like the fact that I can call up the 954 people in my phone directory anytime. Useful when I have a flat tire, when I need a prayer, or when I’m on the rooftop because of Typhoon Ondoy...

I don’t like the fact that these 954 people can call me up at anytime—even when I’m lying on a hammock in a tiny island far out in the Pacific Ocean."


"When you accept the other person and become grateful for him, a great miracle happens: The person learns to accept himself too and thus bring healing of his Heart Wound. Changes begin to take place spontaneously"

STOP TRYING TO FIX PEOPLE... START APPRECIATING INSTEAD...


"the only thing you can do is to love the person by creating space for the other person to fix himself."

Fact about Storms

For those who are experiencing their own personal storms in their life, this is a must-read:

Believe that every storm will end. And after the storm, a new morning begins...


In the midst of your loss, be thankful.

I know you’ll complain, “Bo, there’s nothing to be thankful for! I lost half my life!”

Well, be thankful for the other half that you still have.

Don’t focus on what you lost, focus on what you still have.
