Are You Committed?

Here is a thought I shared with my team and wanted to pass it on...

 

Absolutely convinced

The way to get yourself to do anything is to first accept that you must do it. Until you stop fighting against yourself, you'll never get much done.

It is common and natural to avoid difficult, challenging effort. Even so, you can always choose to allow yourself to make the effort.

You absolutely have the ability to do the necessary work and reach whatever goal you set for yourself. To fully unleash that ability, you just have to fully and sincerely buy into the goal.

It is essential that you completely convince yourself of the worthiness and desirability of what you intend to do. Once you are absolutely convinced, you'll be absolutely
committed.

The most important person to have on your side is you. Once you are truly convinced and committed, you'll be able to get other people convinced and committed.

When it means everything to you, you'll make the commitment to do whatever it takes. And with that total commitment, you'll get it done.

What steps to take

When you see someone who is enormously successful, you
naturally want to know how he or she did it. Although it can certainly be helpful to understand how others achieve, that's not really the most crucial factor.

For your own success, it is even more important to clearly know what you wish to achieve, and to clearly understand why you wish to achieve it. Once you're absolutely certain about what and why, you are absolutely able to figure out how.

Even before you could talk, you were able to figure out how to get what you wanted. As your knowledge and experience have increased, so have your skills for reaching your goals.

If you're having trouble attaining any of those goals, it's not because you don't know how, or because you can't figure it out. The problem is you're not completely clear about exactly what you wish, or not completely sure about why.

It could be that the goal itself is not really yours. If
it's just something you assumed would be nice, that's not
going to give you a strong enough sense of purpose.

Dig deep into your purpose and make sure that what you're
working toward is truly what you desire. Once you're clear
about what and why, you'll know what steps to take.

Best Job In The World!

Thank you for 14 great years

(and Counting!)

You invite me in to your home.  You share with me your goals and dreams.  You allow me to help you make your dreams come true.  We find your first home together.  We help you sell that house to upgrade to that bigger home you’ve always wanted.  You allow me to help your children find their first homes.  You trust me to help sell your parent’s home.  You trust me when you relocate to this new town you’re unfamiliar with.  You allow me to help you retire to the sunshine state.  Together I get to celebrate your victories and strategize for those difficult decisions too.   It is such an honor to help you in times of transition and times of joy. 

 

I want to say THANK YOU and let you know how truly grateful I am!

 
  

The ideal time

"If you wait for the ideal situation, it will never come. If
you create the ideal situation, it will always be, whenever
you choose for it to be.

There are plenty of excuses you can make for why this is not
the time to act. And while you're busy making those excuses,
someone else is busy taking those same actions that you are
merely considering.

The time is right when you make it right. Waiting and hoping
for things to get better will just allow things to get
worse.

If it's important to you, figure out a way to get started on
it now. Because the more you delay, the more you're telling
yourself that it's really not that important.

Why would you want to spend your time setting yourself up
for disappointment? Instead, you can spend that time
marching steadily toward your goals.

The ideal time is when you make it, and what you make it.
Make it now, and make it great."  Chris Heller
