WINNERS KNOW WHEN TO STOP


           Alexander the Great conquered the known world but he did not know when  to stop. That led to his down fall. Pati ba naman yung mga lugar na may malaria sinakop pa niya. Nakagat tuloy siya ng lamok, nagkamalarya, namatay. Mahirap pag pinapalaki mo ang iyong emperyo dahil dumarami ang binabantayan mo.
           May mga kumpanya na ang laki-laki at ang lagu-lago pero hindi tumitigil sa kalalagay ng branch at katakut-takot na mga expansion. Marami ang bumabagsak diyan. Kung kumikita na ng malaki, dapat tama na. Kung expand nang expand pero kulang sa support system, sumasabog ang negosyo.
        
           1Timothy 6:9-10 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money, have wandered from the faith and they pierced themselves with many griefs.

             It is not really money that is the source of all evil but the love of it. On the other hand, lack of money is also the root of many evils. Kaya dapat naman talagang meron ka kahit man lang minimum. Yung mga pamilya na sobrang nasa-sacrifice ang family life nila dahil palaki nang palaki ang negosyo should know when to stop. Kahit naman dumami nang dumami ang pera ninyo, hindi naman kayo kakain ng tatlong kilong baka sa isang kainan lang. Habang yumayaman pa nga kayo, pakonti nang pakonti ang kinakain ninyo dahil ayaw ninyong tumaba. Pag sobrang dami ban g pera ninyo, palalakihan ninyo ang inyong kama na kasinlaki ng basketball court? Komo ba mayaman na kayo ngayon, isang drum na tubig na ang iniinom ninyo? Magsusuot ba kayo ng tatlong kilong kuwintas? Hindi naman. You should know when to stop. Especially if you are paying a high emotional and spiritual price for your continuous enrichment. Know when to stop because more money does not mean more happiness. But I tell you also, no money means no happiness also. We must not romanticize it. Mahirap magpakabanal kapag gutom. Pero pag busog ka na, tama na rin di ba? Dahil kapag hindi ka pa tumigil, impasto na ang kasunod noon. Mahirap din yun.
   
       Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it desirable to seek one’s own honor.
      
       Proverbs 30:8-9 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, “Who is the Lord” Or I may become too poor and steal and so dishonor and the name of my God. Napakagandang mga paalala. Lord, ayoko pong maging mahirap. Baka mapilitan akong magnakaw, mapahiya kayo. Ayoko namang sobrang yumaman dahil baka malimutan ko kayo. So bigyan ninyo na lang po ako ng sapat. Yung tama lang para huwag akong malasing at huwag akong maligaw.
               Winners know their rightful place. They do not talk too much. They do not trust blindly or commit easily. Winners avoid offending people. They make themselves useful and value their good reputation. Winners are above reproach. They are dignified. They avoid negative attention. And they know when to stop.
               We owe it to God  to be winners. Alangan naman yung ating God ay winner, tapos tayo loser. Dapat like Father, like son. Know what it takes to be a winner. Know the marks of a winner. Avoid the ways of losers.
