The short answer is “Yes, you can.”
How do I know? Because I am.
Yes you have problems. Everyone does. I was doomed to crutches, canes, and wheelchairs. I’ve had cancers & other diseases. I should be dead (several times over). I’ve been penniless & broke (over and over). I’ve been homeless. I’ve been cold. I’ve been hungry. I’ve had IRS problems. I’ve filed bankruptcy. Face it, we all have had crap happen…it’s part of life…it’s part of growth. What we do and how we react when faced with adversity is who we really are.
Many people ask how I could possibly accomplish so many things such as: Acquire, renovate, rent, and sell real estate both as an investor and realtor®; prepare & present seminars, training, and classes; write books and articles; read books and articles; grocery shop; cook meals; clean house; bike ride, rollerblade, and walk my dog Maggie at least 3 times per day. That’s in addition to running five companies and having a great social life. I have stated many times that I could write a very thick novel for each year of my life since age 13 (my lucky number), packed with things that the average person would never be able to accomplish, enjoy, and learn from as I have.
My life has been and will continue to be fully abundant as I enjoy all the gifts God has given me. I see the best in everybody and everything. So many people envy me – there are a lot of haters out there! I hear the lies, put downs, and viciousness toward me. Right now people reading this are getting really mad. Why? Because they are angry about their own, non-productive and useless lives and vent it toward me.
What I don’t advertise is that there are many more times that adversity has struck me than the normal person. Several near death experiences and many health issues have been overwhelming. Financial gain, ruin, gain, ruin, and gain again have been devastating. The secret was keeping a positive attitude through it all. Keep watching and reading this blog and you will learn some of the details of the muck I have had to overcome.
O.K. Now we can talk about you. How can you have an amazing fun filled life from this day forward?
You CAN change if you really want to. The question is do you really want to? If you want drastic results you have to take drastic actions. If you make minor mediocre changes, chances are that nothing will change at all.
You don’t have to make a whole lot of changes all at once, just take it one step at a time. But ensure that each step is a big drastic change.
If you are like most people you have developed habits over the years that have become part of your daily routine. It’s going to take a while to change things around. It’s going to take time…the one thing that we all wish we had more of. What would you do if you had an extra 4-6 hours of time each and every day?
You would have more time for meeting new people, time for exercise, time for actually speaking and building a strong relationship with your kids, spouse, and friends. You would have more time to develop a business, or simply just think and ponder.
You must take drastic action for drastic results. Step 1: Shut off the television. If you are envious of the life I have then stop living the lives of the television characters. Start living your own life. I don’t watch television. When Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, I had no idea. Her death, although sad, did not affect my personal life or my finances. I stepped out of my rented Cape Cod cottage a couple of day later and met my neighbors discussing the funeral. They were amazed that I had no idea of her death. You see I didn’t have television, radio, or any other instrument of bad news. It didn’t matter to me. Likewise when dictator Muammar Gaddafi died four days ago and Libya is now liberated, I didn’t get the news until I overheard it in a discussion about another topic this morning. It doesn’t affect me.How much time have you wasted listening, watching, and learning more about this news item that will not directly affect your personal or financial life? If you used that time to build your personal relationships or think of a new way to build a better mouse trap, or took the time to meditate and pray, you would be much better off.
