At the age of 14, she won a reality singing contest, entitled “Star for a Night”(2003) of IBC Channel 13. After winning, she signed a 10-year recording contract with Viva Records and released her debut album, “Popstar: A Dream Come True” on September of 2003, and reached 7x platinum.

In the same year, she staged another sold-out major solo concert in Araneta Coliseum, entitled “Sarah Geronimo in Motion” and went again abroad to have concert tours.

People say that everything happens for a reason, and a more skeptical mind might respond with, “What nonsense!” But on the other hand, what a great idea - whether or not it is true! Regardless of religious or philosophical background, this is a belief that anyone can use, even if it’s false.

Nobody can prove that everything happens for a reason, and when you consider some of the truly terrible things that happen to people, it sometimes seems almost rude to even suggest it. But its truth or falseness is relatively unimportant compared to its usefulness. You see, as a personal belief, it can not only improve your outlook on life, but make your response to it more productive.

If you lost your job, for example, and you think there must be a reason, you start looking for it. The result? Perhaps you find your “true purpose” in life, or get a better job, but in any case you don’t get demotivated. People who don’t think things happen for a reason are probably more likely to be devastated by such “bad luck,” rather than use is as an opportunity to better their lives.

The “true purpose” above is put in quotation marks because this is another idea that may be nonsense, but can be useful nonetheless. If for some people it gives life more meaning, it may lead to more life satisfaction. Another such belief is one we tell children: “You can be anything you want to be.”

Nonsense!

And easily proven wrong. You can think of many reasons why some people can never do some things in life. But the general idea can be very motivating, right? Tell a child there are only some things she can do, and she’ll likely start ruling out many things that are really possible for her.

Such beliefs are what I call “useful lies,” because whether they are true or not generally can’t be proven (perhaps it’s actually true that everything happens for a reason), but they serve a purpose. Some of these can be blatantly silly, but they organize one’s thinking in a way that leads to more productive results in both thinking and the action that follows. Someone who believes he was “meant” to be a writer, for example, won’t get discouraged from a writing career as easily as someone who just “tries” writing.
