"Comparison is the death of true self-contentment."
Writer, John Powell

Your action for today is to see if
you are comparing yourself to someone else
at the office, online or elsewhere and ask yourself :
what good is this doing you?
We often only see people's public smile and highlights,
we rarely see the tears and struggles
behind closed doors.

gratitude: 🐾Whiskey's Wisdom: What's In Your Cup? - 03/24/24 08:48 AM
"You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere. Now, why did you spill the coffee? You might say, 'Because someone bumped into me!' But that's the wrong answer. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. If it had been tea, you would have spilled tea. The point is, whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out when life shakes you."

Thankful Thought in Active Rain’s Gratitude Challenge (Entry 3 of 4)
In this post I'll share my gratitude for a very specific coach; Coach Cami. While I am grateful for all my coaches at Buffini & Company I've had over the years, at Ninja Selling, Darren Hardy Insane Workshop, Michael E. Gerber's E-Myth Academy & Dreaming Room, CRS, RCS-D, Mentors and angels along the way, the coach that means the most to me, despite being retired now, is still Coach Cami.

Thankful Thought in Active Rain’s Gratitude Challenge
(Entry 2 of 4)
As we enter November, and we approach Thanksgiving, I can't help but to reflect on what I'm grateful for.
Today I'll share that I'm grateful for my friends. I suppose I'm guilty of  friendship-category's in my mind. I have childhood friends: birth to 8th grade.
I have high school friend's, work friends from 1984-present from many different jobs, I have DJ friends from that 30 year career, I have REALTOR® friends from 1998-present and of course I have client and networking partner friends too from the last 25 years.
My oldest friend is Debbie Spillane-Bohan, … (8 comments)

This is a continuation from:
Grateful For The Struggle (part 1)
(Week 4, Post 3 of the Active Rain Challenge)
 
In part one I discussed some of the challenges in my life and business I was grateful for, because of what they made of me (and revealed about me). Having gone through many challenges successfully also provided perspective and confidence; I did it before, I can do it again. It's allowed me to remain empathetic to how scared people can get for similar obstacles, but remain strong in my own abilities to overcome; here's what I mean:
When many of you and I went … (15 comments)

gratitude: Putting Panic On Pause (A November AR Challenge) - 10/29/22 08:39 AM
Fear is caused by either the threat of immediate physical danger or it's the absence of facts, so we fill in the narrative with worst case scenarios. Fear is also caused by the absence of GRATITUDE in your life.
People say this market is challenging. May I remind you that they were saying that about the Q2-2020-Q1-2022 markets too?! And by the way, "they" always say that, no matter the market, so enough of that painfully tired and droll narrative.
What I'm most grateful for is my perspective I honed from my experience. My ability to appreciate what I do have in spite … (21 comments)

"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness,
not because they never found it,
but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."
Writer and Publisher, William Feather
 
 
Your action for today
is to enjoy a simple pleasure
such as a rich tasting cappuccino,
a quiet walk or a good book.
Make some memories along the way,
there's no prize at the end for most hours worked.
But, there are moments, family & friends
that are our gifts to enjoy on your journey.

gratitude: Get After It: 🎶 "But You Did, But You Did. And I Thank You." 🎵🎼 - 04/30/22 08:09 PM

 
There's a couple old jokes about the guy winning a big award
giving his acceptance speech...
"And I'd like to thank all the people I stepped on to get here..."
or 
"Let me tell you about my 20-year-long journey to my 'overnight success'..."
The point is summed up here:
 
"Few people are successful
unless a lot of other people
want them to be."
 

Judge, Charles Brower
Your action for today
is to think of two people
who want you to succeed
and thank them.

"Envy is the art of counting
the other fellow's blessings
instead of your own."
~ Humor Columnist, Harold Coffin
 
 
Your action for today
is to see if you feel any envy today.
For each thing you feel envious,
write down three blessings instead.
I started being happy for other
agents' success about 10 years into my career,
but as a newbie - 10 years,
I was always comparing
and envious until I realized & appreciated
my own blessings and bounty.
