I have found in the past that even family and friends can be discouraging in getting difficult things done also.
I hope that you find something in these quotes that will inspire you. Pictures are linked for you to be transported to another world.

danny thornton: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr Rematch - 03/25/08 09:37 AM
It looks like this rematch is about to become a bout. From everything that I see the fight will take place either September the 13th or September the 20th and it looks like it will air on HBO Pay-Per-View. This is being built up as one of the premier fights of 2008 and tickets will surely be sold out way in advance.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has stated that he has reserved the 27,000-seat Home Depot Center, the outdoor home to the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer, for both September 13th and September 20th. He said other … (35 comments)

danny thornton: Day 7 and we are Clear to Close - 03/25/08 07:22 AM
I can never get tired of hearing those three words: Clear To Close. It is like music to my ears. And like any file, it is always a push the last day to make it all work together. Today started early for me just like yesterday, but today has also kept me from ActiveRain until this little break.
The biggest reason is I am a hands on kinda guy and I want to make sure that everything goes as planned and there are no hiccups. Coordinating with the Realtor, Title, and Appraiser to make sure that all is good and clearing … (15 comments)

Each and every day, we are faced with making a decision. Some are as simple as getting out of bed of choosing what to have for breakfast and then some are very complex and can change our life forever or affect someones life around us.
One of the constants about our industry is that this is a daily process that we have to make. No matter how big or small, in the end, it really does matter.

danny thornton: Is your Basement Leaking? - 03/23/08 06:33 AM
When I resided in Florida, we did not have issues with basements because hardly any home had one. Since moving back to Georgia, that is not such the story. I have met a ton of people that have had issues with their basement.
B-Dry® Basement Waterproofing is the type of company that I like to recommend. When you are looking for basement contractors, these are defiantly the guys that you want to call. Since being in business since 1958, they know their stuff. They know it so well, that in 1986 they were given a United States Government Patent!
Now, it … (7 comments)

danny thornton: Baseball highlights - version 3.23 - 03/23/08 04:59 AM
This week, I would like to discuss something that really made me think about baseball and how some players view the game. Now, mind you, I am not a huge Red Sox fan, but after having lived in the Ft Myers Florida area for a few years, they kinda grow on ya.
With that said, something transpired this week that I thought was awesome. For the first time in a long time, the players stood up for fellow staff members (or in this case, sat down). If you have yet to hear the story, here it is in a nut shell.

Destiny is not something to sit back and wait for, it is not a matter of chance, and it is not something that you sit on the counter and play with it later. No, it is made up of choices that we make in our lives daily and it is truly in our hands.
It is up to you where your destiny takes you, so grab a hold and learn to drive, because you control your destiny.

danny thornton: Atlanta's F2 Tornado - 03/20/08 02:14 AM
Last week, Atlanta witnessed a F2 tornado that left our beautiful downtown in shambles. A friend of mine sent me some pictures that just sent chills up and down my spine. 7 years of living in Florida and dealing with the hurricanes sis not prepare me for the tornadoes or hail storms that we have seen here. The city has sustained over 100 million dollars in damage and is in the process of rebuilding. These pictures just show the power that a storm like this has.

On Friday, I tol everyone that I would reveal the three "D"s that rule my life. On Friday, we looked at Determination. On Monday, it was Desire. Today completes the package with it being about Drive. When I was a sale manager for a large mortgage company, I use to teach this as what was needed to obtain success. Without these three in your life and in your career, you are sure to fall short or even reach failure.
With that said, your life and your career are not about falling short nor are they about failure. You are here because … (9 comments)

My good friend Amanda Hall wrote a post called "If you can't write a check write a blog! Blog for a Cause!" and it truly inspired me to do this post.

Yes, it is true, I am truly addicted to this place. Yesterday, I did not have a whole lot of time to be on ActiveRain. For the last 2 days, I had been getting up at 6:30 in the morning to do the doggie deal and get them fed because I have been working on a huge project for my neighbor. He and his wife are buying a house on the beach in Florida and I got the deal. So, I spent a good portion of Saturday of putting it together and even went over and had them sign on the … (28 comments)

Last weekend, on Friday, my series was about determination. In that post, I told everyone that I would finish out the 3 "D"s of a successful person. Desire is the second in this list of 3.
Someone said in the post which 3 "d"s and then named about 10. Being in sales and finance for a long portion of my career and developing and incorporating these 3 into my life, my career, my family, and with my friends is what hass made me who I am today.
With that said, there are many "D"s that we can look at, but these 3 … (12 comments)

As of the time that I am writing this report, there are 9 days, 22 hours, and 56 minutes left before opening day. WOOHOO. All the teams are gearing up to make some final decisions as to who is going to play what position and how much. A lot of the younger players will not make the ball clubs due to the fact the managers do not want them sitting on the bench when they can be down playing every day. But, not to fret because they will be back for the September call ups. For now, let's let them … (9 comments)
