positive attitude: Take Action: Keep Laughing - 11/02/20 07:03 AM
"You don't stop laughing because you grow old;
you grow old because you stop laughing."
~ Keynote Speaker, Michael Pritchard 
 
 
Your action for today
is to see if you can find
three different opportunities to laugh.
 
😁😂🤣😅😁
 
My first heroes were comedians.
Groucho Mark, Abbot & Costello & George Carlin, etc.
I always sought the laughter to heal my pain and as a way of
connecting my introverted self with others.
 
"I intend to live forever, or die trying." ~ Groucho Marx

to an activity or chore

positive attitude: If You're Happy and You Know It...Tell Your Face! - 08/25/20 06:06 AM
 
Brian Buffini of Buffini & Company Coaching 
always reminds us as we are going
about our days with family, friends and clients
...or just staring back at him on stage from the audience: 
 
"If You're Happy and You Know It...Tell Your Face!"
 
 
Remember to smile...and if your on the phone
let them feel your smile through the phone.
People actually learn better through levity too!
 
😁😃😄😆😂🤣🙂😉
 
My sales manager Richard, at Coldwell Banker called me into his office one day back in 2010, very much during The '07-'11 Crash, after hearing me on the phone all stressed out with a "short sale negotiator"🙄. Apparently was being very vocal about it...who me?
Richard said, "Tommy, you're going … (24 comments)

positive attitude: Take Action: Be The Bean - 07/18/20 06:29 AM
 
"People of character do the right thing,
not because they think it will change the world
but because they refuse to be changed by the world."
~ Ethicist, Michael Josephson
 
Your action for today is is to reflect on a time
when you did the right thing and one where you didn't.
Take time to notice the difference
and how you felt at both times.
 
I was taught by an antidote long ago,
you can be the carrot, the egg or the coffee bean.
 
The world is a boiling pot:
 
You can let it make you soft/weak 
like the carrot turns in boiling water
 
You can let it make … (8 comments)

positive attitude: Take Action: Mind Your Own Garden - 07/09/20 10:24 PM
Below are some shots from my garden.
 
"Criticizing another's garden
doesn't keep the weeds out of your own."
An Unknown Author
 
 
Your action for today is to see
where you might be doing the same thing
for which you are criticizing others.
 
 
I take two steps forward, one step back sometimes with 
criticizing others. I have to remain conscious and vigilant.
So funny how negativity is natural default
and being positive takes so much effort.
 
Design an extraordinary day!

positive attitude: Take Action: Choose To Be Joyful - 07/04/20 08:56 AM
Happy Independence Day!!!
 
 
"Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you."
American Writer and Lecturer, Dale Carnegie
 
Your action for today is to see how you can choose to be happy
regardless of what happens to you during the day.
 
We live in a country of advanced citizenship, 
it challenges you to pursue your happiness;
it doesn't provide happiness, only the opportunity to pursue it.
You have to take the action steps and be vigilant about your it.
 
 
I argue happiness is an externally triggered feeling, it comes and it goes.
Joy is an internal, consistent feeling if you first know, accept and love who you … (6 comments)

positive attitude: I'm Over The Magnified Virus Image; But How Are We Looking Magnified? - 04/19/20 06:07 PM
We've Seen the Virus Magnified;
How Are We Looking Magnified?
The Magnifying Glass... 
Is it Revealing Our Character or Our Cracks?
 
The pandemic is a magnifying glass and it's trained on us - mankind.
It has exposed people, revealed who they are during change, uncertainty and fear.
Some folks are very Positive and Uplifting, others are Chicken Little and their sky is falling.
Some people have vanished-where'd they go?
They do not return calls, texts or emails...why?
Others are more present than ever, funny and encouraging calls, posts and videos, etc.
Some people are performing amazing acts of kindness, charitable efforts and fun videos to lift our spirits. Other are spreading selfish negativity, doubt and fear.

positive attitude: Pause, Plan, Pivot, Proceed! - 03/28/20 01:05 PM
Pause, Plan, Pivot, Proceed!
I’m sharing a philosophy I practice, born of deeply personal events in my life. I’m not preaching at you, nor do I seek converts; I'm simply sharing and I know you can think for yourself...chew the meat and spit out the bones.
I will not buy into the media sensationalized hype, I will not abide negative chicken little people and I will not cower in fear even, though I am aware of the seriousness of this virus and the state of the world. I believe the responsible thing to do is stay home, stay healthy and not hoard supplies. I understand … (26 comments)

positive attitude: Uncertain Times? Certainly Not! - 03/23/20 09:25 AM
Uncertain Times?  Certainly Not!
 Remaining positive and productive while staying informed.
 
 
I certainly am going to work out daily, as usual. Staying healthy is critical. I just won't do it at the gym. (5 mile hikes with my dog have been my exercise of choice 5x week).
I certainly will shower and dress for work each day. I just have a really short commute to my home office across the hall.
I certainly will limit my exposure to sensationalized, fear mongering news. I will stay informed through a balanced and trusted "mutual fund" of resources.
I certainly will work in my business per "usual". I just won't … (45 comments)

positive attitude: The Fertile Soil of Failure? - 03/31/17 05:28 AM
 
The Fertile Soil of Your Business.
The Fertile Soil of Your Mind.
The Fertile Soil That Failing Forward Can Gift You...
 
 
I recently interviewed Buffini & Company 's CEO, Dermot Buffini on my co-hosted Mail-Right Real Estate Agent Podcast. Dermot (self proclaimed "student of the game") and I covered a lot of fertile ground and topics. But, one of the most poignant moments for me personally is when I asked him about overcoming set backs. The mindset and methodology of staying the course and being OK with the journey getting off course, yet the direction remaining True North to your goal. The straight line of the journey becoming a … (18 comments)
