Just do something...

Never in a million years did I see myself in the real estate business. I had a career in the music industry before I moved to NC that seemed very sexy at the time. I really had a passion for that. Then I got burnt out, lost the focus, and moved out of NYC. But it probably saved my life. Real estate kind of happened out of boredom here in the mountains. Got a brokers license, and after 2 years I'm one of the top brokers in my office. Never had a passion for it. But through real estate I made great money and I figured out how to get 13-15% back cash-on-cash from my investments with low income housing. HHmmmmm...Obviously, I took a liking to that. And from that experience, I've figured out how to use the same business model for efficiency vacation rentals in the caribbean. Now I'm starting to put that project together with the cash flow from my first investment. So what started as an ordinary real estate license now looks like something very different. The point here is that I just started trying new things that propelled me forward. I had no idea what I wanted at the time. I'm still not really sure and nobody is. But I committed to something that interested me and watched it grow into a passion. If what you do doesn't grab you, try something else. It's that simple. Stop playing by whatever rules you've been programmed with. And nothing happens overnight but if your initial commitment turns into passion over time, I guarantee you will be a success. And if what you begin doing only reveals that you don't like doing it, then that's even better! It puts you one step closer to finding what you actually want! You can't fail forever. It's impossible, no matter how untalented you think you are. The universe won't allow it. When you fall on your face, get up with a smile knowing that you are one face plant closer to greatness!! Just make sure you get up.

Please stop bitching...

News flash genius... when you are bitching, no one cares but you. I can say this because I have a strong penchant for spontaneous outbursts of it. It's always light and fluffy or wrapped in some hysterical quip but it's still bitching. I find myself bitching at cars on the road, in the self-check out register at the grocery store, at people, at people about other people, at the weather, at the fax/printer/scanner, and the list goes on and on. But what does that actually do? We pile up negative feelings and energy over things that we have no control of. ZERO. We carry it throughout the day without really knowing it because it seems small compared to our enormous schedules. But according to the law of attraction, this opens us up to all kinds of negative experiences and closes us off to an unknown number of positive experiences and possibilities. Well, compound this concept by days, weeks, months, and years. What does that negative energy look like on your last day? Pretty ugly, right? Now imagine that for the rest of your life you will meet every negative thought or action with an equal or greater positive thought or action. Then compound that positive energy by days, weeks, months, and years until your last day. What kind of life do you have then? How many amazing positive life experiences did you have just by blocking out the little day-to-day things you had no control over to begin with? These two lives compared side by side, are probably dramatically different in every way. It's kind of like an emotional savings account. Your deposits may look small. But add to it regularly and compound it over a life time, and you will have a HUGE chunk of something in the end. What that something is is up to you.

I am consciously(and begrudgingly) overcoming my own negative energy everyday and meeting it with positive resistance. It is opening me to better personal and business relationships which in turn is attracting both financial and spiritual wealth. And that is nothing to bitch about.
