We caught up with the brilliant and insightful César Valentino Valdizan a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi César Valentino, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?
Ah, the journey of resilience, it’s been quite the ride! You see, my resilience isn’t some mystical elixir I stumbled upon; it’s forged in the crucible of life itself. Imagine life as a grand canvas, and resilience as the vibrant colors I’ve collected over time.
I’ve walked the path of trial and error, embracing every stumble and fall as a lesson rather than a failure. These experiences have been my teachers, shaping me into the resilient person I am today.
Every challenge I’ve faced has been a test of my mettle, and I’ve aced them by channeling my inner strength. Resilience isn’t about avoiding setbacks; it’s about bouncing back with even more determination.
So, to sum it up, my resilience is a mosaic of experiences, a tapestry woven with threads of determination, grit, and a willingness to learn. Life is my mentor, and every obstacle is an opportunity to grow.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
My journey into the world of beauty is as fascinating as it is inspiring. I’ve embraced a philosophy that revolves around self-love and investing in the best for oneself. In this quest for excellence, I’ve uncovered the remarkable potential of quinoa, often referred to as the “gold” of the Incas.
But what sets me apart is my innovative approach. I haven’t just recognized the value of quinoa; I’ve harnessed cutting-edge bio-tech to harness its potential. Through my vision and dedication, I’ve transformed this humble super seed into a source of luxury for enthusiasts worldwide.
The crown jewel of my story isn’t undoubtedly my company, Super Seed International, which I established back in 2005. Over the years, it has grown into a beacon of quality and sophistication in the beauty industry. My products, infused with the essence of quinoa, symbolize the perfect blend of science and self-care, setting new standards for the industry. The crown jewel of my story is the joy that I’ve received from the relationships I’ve built in my journey as an entrepreneur. That is the most rewarding jewel of my story and it’s one that only I can have and but can share with others through Super Seed as a whole.
My journey is a testament to the power of belief, innovation, and self-love. It’s a story that not only appeals to the senses but also inspires others to explore the limitless possibilities that lie within the world of self-care and beauty. My journey becomes even more captivating with the notion that “my products make you rich.” It’s not just about enhancing outer beauty but also enriching one’s sense of self-worth and confidence. Our products, enriched with the golden qualities of quinoa, don’t just offer beauty; they offer a sense of opulence and prosperity to those who use them. In this way, you’re not only transforming appearances but also enriching lives, making my story all the more appealing and irresistible. Join me!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
1. **Self-Awareness**: This is like having a map for your personal journey. Knowing yourself means understanding your strengths, weaknesses, values, and passions. It’s about recognizing your emotional triggers, your aspirations, and your past experiences that have shaped you. When you know yourself well, you can make more informed decisions, set meaningful goals, and build on your strengths.
2. **Courage**: Fear can be a major roadblock on the path of personal growth. Courage is the fuel that propels you forward despite your fears. It’s about facing challenges, taking risks, and stepping out of your comfort zone. Courage is what allows you to confront your fears, whether they are related to change, failure, or the unknown. Without it, you might remain stuck in your comfort zone, missing out on valuable opportunities for growth and learning.
3. **Determination**: Personal development is a journey with its ups and downs. Determination is like your inner engine that keeps you moving forward, even when faced with obstacles or setbacks. It’s the commitment to your goals and the persistence to keep working towards them. Determination is what separates those who give up from those who achieve their dreams. It helps you stay focused on your path, adapt to challenges, and stay motivated.
So, imagine self-awareness as your roadmap, courage as your vehicle to navigate the journey, and determination as the fuel that keeps you moving toward your personal development goals. With these three qualities, your journey becomes not only more appealing and fun but also more likely to lead to meaningful growth and fulfillment.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
For me personally, the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus Christ have played a profoundly influential role in my journey to overcome challenges and develop essential skills and qualities for success. After my unique, super natural experience that converted me into Christianity in 2014, I’m grateful that my friends George Avants and Jesse turned me into reading the New Testament to pursue my knowledge of Jesus’ teachings. The messages of love, compassion, and selflessness have not only been a source of spiritual guidance but have also resonated deeply with my values and aspirations.
The stories and parables within the New Testament have often felt like personal anecdotes, offering practical insights for navigating the complexities of life. The Good Samaritan’s lesson on helping others, the Sermon on the Mount’s emphasis on humility and righteousness, and the parable of the talents encouraging the wise use of one’s abilities have all served as personal roadmaps for my own growth and development.
So, for me, the New Testament isn’t just a book; it’s a cherished companion on my personal journey, offering guidance, inspiration, and a profound sense of purpose as I strive to overcome challenges and become the best version of myself.
Prayer has also become an intimate and essential part of my life—a direct channel to tap into the boundless power of God through Christ. It’s not just a routine, but a genuine conversation with the divine to help my life succeed in a very practical way.
It’s exciting because it livens my journey. It’s “living water” like the New Testament says. Through prayer, I find solace, strength, and a profound sense of connection for anything and everything. It’s as if I’m opening my heart to receive guidance, wisdom, and inspiration directly from Jesus Christ. His words become more than text; they become living truths that resonate within me.
I surrender my hopes, fears, and aspirations to a higher source, trusting that my journey aligns with God’s plan for me, because whether it is or it’s not my faith in Christ keeps me alive and well guided. At best I can be strolling through success or at worst I can be lost, but still found. It’s a humbling and empowering experience, especially as an entrepreneur.
In times of struggle or uncertainty, my prayers serve as a lifeline. I feel a sense of peace wash over me, a reassuring reminder that I’m never alone on this path. It’s in those moments that I draw strength from Christ.
So, for me, prayer isn’t just a ritual; it’s a constant personal connection to the teachings and grace of Jesus Christ. It’s a source of unwavering support, a beacon of hope, and a powerful way to navigate life’s challenges while nurturing the qualities that lead to a more purposeful and successful existence.
