lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day - ACT ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE - 06/02/10 03:01 AM
Meet your Lake Arrowhead Sellers, your best choice for a Realtor, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage.
 
ACT ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE, BUT BE PREPARED TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTS. One of the primary differences between those who achieve greatness in their lives and those who manage only to "get by" is that successful people learned early in life that they were responsible for their own actions. No other person can make you successful or keep you from achieving your goals. Taking the initiative means assuming a leadership role, a position … (3 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day - Success is a cumulative effort - 06/01/10 02:39 AM
Meet your Lake Arrowhead Sellers, your best choice for a Realtor, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage.
THE BEST JOB GOES TO THE ONE WHO CAN GET IT DONE WITHOUT PASSING THE BUCK OR COMING BACK WITH ALIBIS. We often discover that people we view as "overnight successes" have in fact labored for years in obscurity before they were finally recognized and rewarded for their contributions. Success is a cumulative effort; the journey to the top in any field is usually long and requires careful planning. If you want to climb the first rung … (1 comments)

Meaning of  Flag Draped Coffin
 
All  Americans should be given this lesson.  Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought.  
Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud of those who serve to protect  our 'GOD GIVEN' rights and freedoms.
 
Here is how to understand the flag that  laid upon it and is surrendered to … (2 comments)

Your best choice for a Realtor in Lake Arrowhead, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage. WHEN YOU GET YOURSELF UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL, YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN BOSS. We all have moments when we allow others to cause us to react emotionally, especially in anger. Often we regret our response later, and we vow we will never allow ourselves to behave in this fashion again. The next time you feel the anger rising, remind yourself that no one can make you angry or emotional without your consent-indeed, your active participation is required. Those who … (1 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day - IF YOU HAVE MORE ENEMIES THAN FRIENDS, ODDS ARE YOU HAVE EARNED THEM - 05/29/10 02:06 AM
Your best choice for a Realtor in Lake Arrowhead, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage. IF YOU HAVE MORE ENEMIES THAN FRIENDS, THE ODDS ARE A THOUSAND TO ONE YOU HAVE EARNED THEM. Abraham Lincoln once observed, "You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all the time." Regardless of how cleverly you package yourself, others will eventually see through your masquerade and recognize you for what you really are. As a general … (2 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day- Self Respect - 05/28/10 01:38 AM
Your best choice for a Realtor in Lake Arrowhead, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage. SOUND CHARACTER BEGINS WITH KEEN SELF-RESPECT. No one really knows for sure how we develop self-respect, but the experts believe it begins at a very early age. Parents who show their children that they love them unconditionally-just because they are who they are-build a foundation of healthy self-respect that will sustain the children for the rest of their lives. From this foundation comes the moral and ethical structure known as character. Healthy self-respect should not be confused with egotism. … (0 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day- Self Respect - 05/27/10 02:04 AM
SELF-RESPECT IS THE BEST MEANS OF GETTING THE RESPECT OF OTHERS. Have you known people who can’t stand to be alone for any length of time? The chances are good that those folks don’t like themselves very much. They need others around constantly to validate their own existence. Sadly, the people who need others the most are usually those whom others least like to be around. Because they don’t like themselves, other people seldom do either. The surest way to command the respect of others is to become a person you like being around. Identify the characteristics you admire in others … (0 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day- you can control the only things that really matter - 05/26/10 05:21 AM
Your best choice for a Realtor in Lake Arrowhead, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage. DON’T LOOK TO THE STARS FOR THE CAUSE OF YOUR MISFORTUNES LOOK TO YOURSELF TO GET BETTER RESULTS. There are many things you cannot control, but you can control the only things that really matter: your mind and your attitude. External forces have very little to do with success. Those who program themselves for success find a way to succeed even in the most difficult of circumstances. Solutions to most problems come from one source and one source alone: … (2 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day - GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IS BORN OF A STRUGGLE - 05/25/10 02:26 AM
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IS BORN OF A STRUGGLE. "Our strength grows out of our weakness," said Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Not until we are pricked and stung and sorely shot at, awakens the indignation which arms itself with secret forces." Strife and struggle can inspire you to overcome adversity and to propel yourself to real achievement. View every struggle as an opportunity for personal growth. It is the struggle itself, not the result that builds character. If you know you are right, stay the course even though the whole world seems to be against you and everyone you know questions your judgment. When … (2 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Morning Humor - 05/25/10 01:52 AM
A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.  'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?' St. Peter asked.
 
 'Well, I can think of one thing,' the cowboy offered.  'On a trip to the Black Hills out in  South Dakota , I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman.  I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen.  So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground.  I yelled, 'Now, back off or I'll kick the crap out of all of you!'
St. Peter was impressed, 'When did this happen?''Couple of minutes ago.'

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day- Gossip - 05/24/10 04:09 AM
 
THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS TIME ONLY FOR GOSSIP AND SLANDER IS TOO BUSY FOR SUCCESS. Each of us has a finite amount of time, energy, and money; you must choose for yourself how you will spend them. If you elect to squander your resources by demeaning others in an attempt to advance your own interests, you will soon find that so much of your time and energy has been spent on gossip and slander that you have little time left for yourself. If you deal in malicious information, you’ll rarely be trusted. As the saying goes, "Those who talk about … (3 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Charlie Daniels in Current Immigration Issues - 05/24/10 04:05 AM
I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations. I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place.   But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal, it is flat out wrong, and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons. I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact … (0 comments)

lake arrowhead properties: Thought for the Day- POLITENESS - 05/23/10 02:56 AM
POLITENESS USUALLY BEGINS AT HOME OR IT DOESN’T BEGIN AT ALL. Politeness to others is usually born out of respect for the individual, which you learn as a child. When you are treated with respect by other members of the family, you learn to respect them as well. The self-esteem that results from being recognized as a unique person by the people who matter most to you helps you develop the confidence necessary to succeed later in life. Politeness and consideration for others are habits that-once developed-usually stay with you for a lifetime. While common courtesy may seem relatively insignificant in … (5 comments)
