Creating A Personal Space That Pulls You Forward

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

Multi Color OutfitThe defining thing between success and failure in both our business life and personal lives is thought to sometimes have to do with our talient, ability or some say intelligence. It really has to do with our space management. What is in our ENVIRONMENT. Our one and only for us personal environment. So to that end

Create A Personal Space That Pulls You Forward.

Whether you realize it or not probably 90% of where you are at today is:

  "the sum total of your personal choices"

Where do you want to go? What does success mean to you? What does it and happiness LOOK like?

Surround yourself with people, education, situations and activities that reflect your desires. Learn from the experts who are already where you want to go. Dress and talk and think like those where you are going and it will rub off on you. Alter your habits and daily activities that fill your time and your life will head in the direction you want it to.

Make sure your world NURTURES the person YOU want to become in the future even more than where you are at NOW.

The key word in that thought is NURTURE. If your personal space is not nuturing to you it must change for you to be your best. Identify what is not nurturing and give that area MUCH LESS OF YOUR TIME.

A good environment, a GREAT YOU!

Hi Gary...Thank goodness for the choices I've made (both good and bad) for they've led me to where I am today.  I'm a believer!

Wow -- this one really hits home.  Beside the emphasis on the nuturing environment... I also like this phrase.

 

"Learn from the experts who are already where you want to go."

This makes a lot of sense. Make sure your environment nurtures you or change it. I really need to go through some piles of papers that haven't been nurturing me at all.

It is important to think these things through.  I recently moved my home office to a space that gives me more privacy and a better view out the window, but only after making the move did I realize I'm too far away from our incredible sound system to enjoy my music to its fullest. Still working on a resolution!

Gary, wonderful post that everyone should read.  I am a great believer that environment affects us and molds our future.  So important to nurture ourselves through our environment.  Sometimes it may require us to make difficult choices.  Thanks for the inspiration and reminder,

Really like the pic Gary.  And yes, it's very healthy to have your life nurtured by the right sources in the right time and space.

So true. People don't give our surrounds or people in our immediate circle a critical enough eye.

This is true. I'v been neglecting my personal space because I don't have the money to make essential repairs.  But it just FEELS terrible.  I have been addressing this as much as is affordable over the past couple months.

This sounds like an addendum to the Law of Attraction - which says to always make the choice that feels better.

Gary: We are we are today, have what we have today because of the choices we made or did not make. Nurture your thoughts and good things happen.

I think a lot of it starts in the head.  How do you respond to our circumstances?  Can you be at peace even when the seas are rough?

This is a very thoughtful post!  Surrounding ourselves with those who represent what we aim to be and do makes sense!
