Choices.......

The Whittingham Team (RE/MAX Results Realty) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:38:07 -0800

Read this

LET IT REALLY SINK IN......

THEN CHOOSE .

John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!'

He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!'

'You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?'

He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood

I choose to be in a good mood.'

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or...I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested.

'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.

You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.'

I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw him about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?'

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.'

'Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?' I asked.

He continued, '...the paramedics were great.

They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.'

'What did you do?' I asked.

'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity''

Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'

He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude...I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Matthew 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Charging the Human Battery.....

The Whittingham Team (RE/MAX Results Realty) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:58:09 -0800

An Excerpt from
Charging the Human Battery
by Mac Anderson

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday morning. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.

A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it:

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind; he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles." I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say.

"Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It's too bad you missed your daughter's dance recital," he continued; "Let me tell you something that has helped me keep my own priorities." And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles."

"You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.

Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3,900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part.

It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail," he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1,000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear.

Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life.

There's nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight.

Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time.

It was nice to meet you Tom. I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. This is a 75 year old man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!"

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter.

Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast."

"What brought this on?" she asked with a smile.

"Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles."

Clean Home.............

The Whittingham Team (RE/MAX Results Realty) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 18:51:49 -0800

CLEAN FACT

Most people are turned off by even the smallest amount of clutter, lack of cleanliness, or odor when looking at homes to purchase. Sellers lose thousands of dollars because they do not adequately clean their homes or rid them of offensive odors.

If your home is squeaky clean, you will be able to sell your home faster and net hundreds, if not thousands of dollars more. If you are planning on moving, why not get rid of that old junk now so that your house will actually appear larger? Make more space.

Odors must be eliminated, especially if you have dogs, cats, young children in diapers, or if you are a smoker. You may not notice the smell, but the buyers do!

Most agents have a difficult time communicating to their sellers about odor and home cleanliness.

When you employ us to represent you and your property, we will advise you of all of these factors that can have a negative effect on your homes market performance. Our comprehensive home check system will always give you just the advice you need to stage your home for a top dollar sale.

Thank You,

"Because I'm the founder of Successories ©, some people think that this guy probably never has a negative thought. How wrong they would be! Like every human being, I have doubts, fears, and disappointments in my life. As a leader, however, we must manage our attitudes. Do we need to be perfect? Of course not. But, we can never underestimate the influence that our actions and our attitudes will have on our team."

Precious moments with your children...where did they go? Lost minutes

wondering where the years went. Sound familiar? If you are on

With the disaster in Haiti

The Whittingham Team (RE/MAX Results Realty) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 04:43:12 -0800

This needed to be posted...............

Dear Friend and /or Colleague:

With the disaster in Haiti, as members of Meadowridge Rotary, we would like to make you aware of the Rotary Shelterbox program. The Shelterbox provides an immediate solution to enable families to start rebuilding their lives. The Shelterbox contains everything a family up to ten needs to provide short term relief and a start to reestablishing their lives. Attached is a more detailed description of all of the items that come in a Shelterbox.

Our Rotary Club has undertaken a fundraising campaign to provide as many of these boxes as we can to the people of Haiti who are currently sleeping on the streets. The Rotary Shelterbox teams are already on the ground in Haiti, and boxes are being assembled and shipped from points around the world to Haiti.

Each Shelterbox costs $1,000 and we would ask you to consider making a contribution to assist our fundraising efforts. There are many worthwhile fundraising efforts underway, but we have chosen the Rotary Shelterbox program as our way of assisting the people of Haiti. We are asking everyone we know to consider making a donation, and to activate their friends and colleagues to do the same.

Our club will be setting up a Shelterbox Village in Maple Ridge's Memorial Peace Park next weekend - Friday, January 22 & Saturday, January 23 to demonstrate the effectiveness of providing this relief. Following is a Facebook Link - share this with your Facebook friends and family. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=252616669860&ref=mf#/event.php?eid=252616669860&ref=mf

Tax receipts will be provided for any donation over $20 and we are able to accept cash, cheques or credit cards. Please make cheques payable to Meadowridge Rotary Foundation and forward to PO Box 333, Maple Ridge, BC V2X 7G2 or call Mary at 604 466 3333. We are hoping to collect all we can by next weekend. Please consider donating as much as you possible can and help bring relief to a family in Haiti!

Best Regards

Mary & Gordy Robson

My Pink Gloves

The Whittingham Team (RE/MAX Results Realty) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 04:24:11 -0800

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST VIEW.............

ENJOY “ Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it. When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer?”
