Looking For Opportunity?… Create It!
November 24th, 2008 categories: Beyond Real Estate
I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of something positive to write about. It’s hard to find good news right now, and frankly I’m sick of all the negative news. I’m a positive person by nature but if the Dow drops another 400 points in one day, I’m going to scream.
My Associate Sarah and I spent the morning discussing how important it is to stay positive, to create opportunities and not fall victim to all of the fearful thinking that so many people are buying into right now.
Now more than ever, it’s critical to expect positive results, to feel and be optimistic. I believe that what you focus on expands, and that our attitudes, good or bad, sets the course for our life’s events.
Things are challenging out there right now, there’s no denying it. But we must stand up to fear and negativity and fight back. One of my favorite quotes is from Gandhi and seems more relevant now than ever…..
“Be the change you want to see in the world”
Great blog!! I truly enjoyed our discussion, as always. Just think of what could be accomplished of everyone could learn to stay focused on the positive. Here is another great quote:
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.”
Earl Nightingale
Thank you, Sarah.
