Then that simply means you’re hanging out with Especially tiny ones. the wrong crowd. When I ask kids aged three, four, Here’s my message: Don’t settle! or five, “What do you want to be when Because you get what you settle for. you grow up?” the most common Hey, I found that this works with money as well. answer I get is, “I don’t know.” Which Here’s my belief: God has programmed His entire is understandable. They’re still creation to give us what we clearly and specifically figuring out what they want in life. (But I keep ask for. askingI this question anyway to help them start So if you ask, “Give me money,” God’s creation envisioning their future.) will be asking, “How much?” But when I ask adults in their 30s, 40s, and 50s The universe could deliver to you 25 centavos or what they want in life, the most common answer I P25 million.

So I ask them, “Any husband? Isn’t that too Be specific. general?” And with a laugh, they answer, “Yes, Bo. And don’t settle. I’m desperate. Any husband will do.” Many people ask for nothing. And that’s what they get: Any husband. And consequently, they end up getting it. Which is pretty dangerous if you ask me. One of the craziest e-mails I’ve ever received was from a single woman who wrote, “Brother Bo, May your dreams come true, I caught my boyfriend cheating on me twice with another girl. What should I do? Should I break up with him? But the thing is, he’s really a good person.” I wrote back, “But he was unfaithful to you twice!” In another e-mail, a single woman asked me, “Brother Bo, my boyfriend is a drunkard. When he gets drunk, he gets violent and beats me up. What should I do? Because when he’s not drunk, he’s a really good person.” For some people, “good” means someone who doesn’t kill you with a butcher knife. When you pray for a spouse, don’t just ask for a “good” husband or a “good” wife. Because “good” can mean so many things. Be specific! Say, “I want a husband who is faithful. A husband who is responsible. A husband who is financially stable. A husband who is free from addictions and alcoholism…” I can hear you now: “But Bo, you’ve just Bo's outfit courtesy of Elite Garments/SOLO of Elite courtesy outfit Bo's scratched off 99 percent of the men I know!” KERYGMA November 2017 1 mailroom Bo Sanchez’s “The Boss” September 2017 article ("Love Such dynamic process may Is Your Identity") was an interesting, enlightening, and really pave the way to face life's inspiring piece to read and ponder. challenges with solid emotional He rightly makes a clear distinction between spiritual and spiritual resilience that one maturity and religious maturity.
