Welcome to my new and improved personal blog. My name is Alwyn Sy, a law graduate, marathoner and volunteer business coach of Create Abundance International Business Community. My passion is running and I want to be financially free to be able to run around the world. Our mission in the community is to spread financial education to the Filipino people. It is also our dream to lay the foundation for First-World Philippines and Filipinos to be world-class entrepreneurs. Aside from helping out in our family's garments business, I am also an International Executive of Nu Skin Enterprises, a company specializing in health, beauty and anti-aging. Hope you enjoy reading some of the articles (business, running and anything under the sun).

Born To Shine

A very empowering speech by the great Nelson Mandela (originally written by Marianne Williamson):




Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves: 
"Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. 

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking 
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you. 
We are all meant to shine, as children do. 
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. 

And as we let our own light shine, 
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, 
Our presence automatically liberates others.
