For more than twenty-five years, Coach John's life has evolved around helping people, young and old, in finding their ways through life. He designed modules and trained speakers. He travelled extensively giving talks, seminars, retreats and personal life coaching. This blog speaks his mind, a product of his love for life.

Reality Bites

written by john bejoSometime ago, a friend asked me if my blog targets a certain kind of person. My answer is: 'Yes' and 'No'

The nature of my blog is to motivate and inspire by connecting, convincing and confronting. It is the product of my struggles, pains, faith and occasional victories. That’s where its grip.

The stories I share here are either based on true to life stories or fables or anecdotes. So, if a person feels a certain post is addressed specifically to her or him, I am sorry, but my message is always for everyone who comes here. God puts us in a certain situation to learn, contemplate and share. Those situations  are gifts  where douses of inspirations come from. (Contemplare et contemplata aliis tradere)

Paranoia turns everything into poison, devours its host then salivates the people around it.

If somebody is stung by anything posted here, then that message must really be for that person; but it could be for anybody else including me. A lie does not bite, reality does.

I will write and continue what I have been doing. On the wall of Mother Teresa's home for abandoned children it's written:

“If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway…Winking smile


by John B. Bejo

Father,
Make us steadfast against the onslaught of the enemy.
As we do Your work, we may not be obsessed rewards.
We maybe rags, but even rags can be used to clean dirt.
Use us, talk with us and speak through us
In Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
