Focus - Power Quotes Series

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

  Lately I have noticed that a lot of people have been focused on the bad in life. I hear more people talking about how bad the market is instead of focusing their energy to what is good in the market. And they refer to people like myself as wearing blinders. It is not that we do not see the bad, it is that we choose to focus our energy and resources on what is good. And that is how we survive in the market.

It is an amazing thing when you decide to find what is positive in your life and focus on that. I hope that you can find something in today's quotes that will give you the inspiration to move forward. If you have the time, click on the pictures and visit my other blog platforms. Thanks for reading my post and your continued support in a positive place.


"The sun's energy warms the world.
But when you focus it through a magnifying glass it can start a fire.
Focus is so powerful!"
Alan Pariser

"Without goals, you will end up going nowhere, or,. you will end up following someone else's map! Develop your map today - set your goals and focus!"
Catherine Pulsifer, from FOCUS

"We were trained to look at the grades on our report card, rather than focus on the image of the grade we desired. We learned to let our results control our thinking instead of the other way around."
The Law of Attraction

"Too often in life, we focus on the things we cannot do. Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations, health limitations, family limitations, educational limitations, and so on. Sometimes, we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals."
Catherine Pulsifer, from What You Can Do

"Before my accidents, there were ten thousands things I could do. I could spend the rest of my life dwelling on the things that I had lost, but instead I chose to focus on the nine thousand I still had left."
W. Mitchell

"If you stay focused and right on track, you will get to where you want to be."
Michelle C. Ustaszeski

This is great!  Thanks for the lift!  We all could use a little inspiration right now.  It is too easy to become negative right now towards the business because it is our livelihood, when the market goes down the amount and frequency of our pay shifts as well.  That's enough to keep anyone on edge.

However, I am finding that the increased challenge and creativity required to learn how to do things better and keep my business relevant fun!  I am learning a lot about new ways to do business and generate leads, as well as perfecting old strategies with new twists to give them legs in the declining market. Only time will tell if it will produce long term results but it will definitely keep your mind focused on a forward thinking goal which can keep worry & doubt out of the picture!

Danny - Great quotes. We all need to stay focused on positive market areas, we all know there is some bad things in the market but they won't always be.  Need to look on the bright side not the dark side of things.
