This week's blog will be on the lifestyle side of property.How do these two topics correlate you may ask? As shelter is a necessity in life, I believe that the two tie in together rather well and not having one makes success and fulfillment within the other very difficult. The inspiration for this week's blog comes from circumstances around me in my own life. This crazy wild ride we call life is full of ups and downs as well as a fair amount of in betweens where we can feel kind of gray and confused,
Professionals in the psychology field will call the energy and vibrations that you as a human emit “a force in the electromagnetic field.” Hippies will call it an “aura” or a” vibe.” No matter which camp you yourself fall into, one thing is for certain, we all have energy that we emit. This energy affects us as well as those around us. Every one of us has been involved with individuals who have a very positive energy, they leave us excited and ready to take on the fires of hell with a squirt gun. We all also have had experiences with people who drain us of all positivity. After being in their presence we feel like the world is collapsing around us, and now all we want to do is go home and go to bed eating the whole tub of ice cream.
The question that begs to be asked by each and every one of us is, “which one am I?” There are days when I myself am a complete drag to be around. Where my attitude sucks, I am mad at the world, and plain and simply you would not want to be around me. This is very unfortunate, but these days happen. Having bad days or moments is normal human behavior. We are emotional creatures, and if every day was the highest of highs, either you have unlocked whatever it was that Indiana Jones was looking for, or maybe rehab should be considered as an option. The problem lies not in being in a bad mood, the problem rather exists in STAYING in a bad mood. I have recently tried to make a point of whenever negativity begins to rise within me, trying to take three deep breaths, sorting my thoughts from my emotions, and conducting a critical analysis as to why it is that I am feeling sour. Qhat I usually find is pretty consistent.
Usually, whatever it is that is making me such a Debbie Downer is either not a real tangible fear or problem for me, or is out of my control. An excellent exercise that I have found personally is to make a list with two columns. In column 1 I write all of my troubles and problems, in column two I list things that I can control today during the next hour and within the present moment. Seldom do the two lists correlate at all.
I tie this into property because I feel and hear an immense amount of unhappy folks in the market today. “This market is ridiculous.” “There is no way we can afford a home right now,” ect. While yes you may feel this, and it may even be true. I am a firm believer in what we emanate out to the universe will come back to us. So in turn, you become correct in what you are thinking and saying, you will not be able to afford that home. I also think this is how an energy vampire comes to be. Radiating their negativity all around them, everywhere they go.
The Solution
Be grateful today, these problems too will come to pass. Stress not about the things you cannot control, because I promise you we are all out here trying to play the same game on the same field with the same rules. Be bold and dare to think. Challenging yourself in order to create discomfort. It is through the discomfort that you will be able to find yourself. In life and property there are a multitude of possibilities and creating happiness and fortune is probably a lot closer than you would think. A great line by property mogul Grant Cardone that I love is to “keep going, you never know when you are just one meeting, one connection, one project, ect. away from your goals. This week's blog was a bit different than most, but this has been on my heart and mind recently and I felt the need to share it with all of you.
