"Smell The Flower and Blow Out The Candle"
Have you ever experienced being cut off in traffic or conversation? Been let down by a friend, family member, or client? Faced unexpected challenges in life, relationships, sales, or health?
How we react in these moments determines our ability to recover and move forward. It starts with a simple practice: Smelling The Flower and Blowing Out The Candle. Take a deep breath in through your nose, then exhale fully through your mouth. Remember to breathe!

from a different perspective.
Maybe even through a trusted advisor's lens.

"Change is not made without inconvenience,
even from worse to better."
Theologian, Richard Hooker
I share this notion quite often with my clients upfront - that it won't be a normal week or "usual routine" while searching for a home, or showing their home for sale, or inspecting a home or the week we're closing escrow.
"You simply have to plan for a disruption to your normal routine at home and at work if you want to change addresses." ~TJN
Your action for today
if you dare break routine,
is to take a different route
on your way home and see what you notice.

"It isn't the burdens of today
that drive men mad.
It is the regrets over yesterday
and the fear of tomorrow.
Regret and fear are twin thieves
who rob us of today."
Author, Robert Hastings
 
 
Your action for today
is to write down
one regret you have
and identify
what you can learn
from what you did
or didn't do.
Ultimately, my regrets
are learning experiences,
they do not cripple me,
they remind me
to make better choices.

doomed to repeat year one over and over.

growth: Take Action: Eat Your Breakfast - 11/24/20 06:37 AM

 
"Feedback is the breakfast of champions."
~ Authors, Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
 
Your action for today
is to ask your spouse or boss
what is one thing they think
you could do better.
 
I have monthly check-ins with my bride
and quarterly check-ins with my broker
asking 3 simple questions for accountability:
 
1. What should I do More Of?
2. What should I do Less Of?
3. What should I Start Doing, which I'm currently not?
 
You have to listen to the answers, 
never respond to them,
unless it's to ask probing questions for clarity.

"Resentment is like drinking poison
and hoping it will kill your enemies."
Nobel Prize Winner, Nelson Mandela
 
Your action for today
is to see if you harbor animosity
towards someone and
see what it would take to let go of it.
 
 
I harbored much anger in my youth.
Today, I either forgive & forget or
settle for peaceful indifference and move on.
I only allow myself one hour to be angry.
Then, I have to do something positive;
like workout, hike or do something kind for
for a family member, friend, client or stranger.
Anger & bitterness is cancer. Live cancer-free.
