thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Measure Your Wealth
- 07/15/20 07:08 AM
Measure wealth not by the things you have,
but by the things you have for which
you would not take money."
An Unknown Author
Your action for today is to count all those things
you have in your life that are priceless.
You know the old question:
"If your home was on fire,
what would you grab on the way out?"
The last 10 years of my life, despite some major life challenges
and set backs, I've mostly been truly happy.
That has lead me to this answer to that question:
From my heart and my gut...
My Bride, My Son and My Dog
and if there were time, maybe...

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Fail Forward
- 07/13/20 06:26 AM
"My great concern is not whether you have failed,
but whether you are content with your failure."
~ Abraham Lincoln
Your action for today is to review a recent success
you've had and see if you owe some of that success
to a failure from your past.
Failures are Feedback in our "student of life" lives.
They are in fact the feedback that warns... this is not the way.
It doesn't mean you quit, it means try something different.
Don't quit; adjust.

thomas j nelson realtor: Joining The 1,000,000 Points Club...AGAIN!!!
- 07/13/20 05:23 AM
Thanks to the tech issues with Active Rain
and massive June posts & points loss,
I was able to do something pretty unique in the Rain:
I crossed the 1,000,000 point level
for a second time this year!!!
How you ask?
I let a set-back become a set-up
for a comeback.
I didn't stop penning, posting and participating due to the loss.
Setbacks are part of life, marriage, family, business, health, etc.
We need time to process the 5 stages of grief that come with each:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression.
Acceptance
We need to go through these stages for loss: a loved one, a job, a marriage or thousands of points in this case...which … (12 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Eliminate It
- 07/12/20 05:53 AM
"The ability to simplify
means to eliminate the unnecessary
so that the necessary may speak."
~Artist, Hans Hofmann
Your action for today
is to eliminate something that is unnecessary
- from your office, car, home or schedule.
I have done several things to honor thios during
our shelter in place 2020.
Cleaned the office. Cleaned the garage. Organized the book shelves. Tossed out clothes I haven't worn in over a year. Deleted memberships to Facebook Groups I never visit. Eliminated multiple Zoom meetings from my week is the latest. The organization was liberating, gave me a sense of accomplishment and opened up my schedule for … (8 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Just A Little Bit More
- 07/11/20 03:38 PM
"Four short words sum up what has lifted
most successful individuals above the crowd
--'a little bit more.'
They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more."
Writer, A. Lou Vickery
Your action for today is to do one proactive action
that exceeds someones expectations.
My coaches at Buffini & Company have always told me,
"you did it before, you can do it again, but give me
5% more than last time, just 5%"
So whether its more effort, more time, more energy
of the unexpected extras for your spouse,
kids, family or clients...exceeding what is expected
is what is memorable to them. The Wow! factor.
When Virgin America was still around, they taught … (7 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Getting Even
- 07/11/20 08:27 AM
"Getting even throws everything out of balance."
~ Journalist, Joe Browne
Your action for today is to reflect on
whether you are trying to get even with someone.
If you are, notice the cost to you.
It's my Italian/Irish Curse: born into grudges & vendettas
But, I realized a few years back, letting other people's
poor behavior, betrayals or harsh words
rent space in your head or heart
costs only you and often they have no clue.
Getting even to me these days, is how can I
perform a random act of kindness for someone else
that would allow me to pour this negative reaction
into a positive energy & act. My … (4 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: How to Win Your Year in the Next 12 Weeks
- 07/10/20 08:12 PM
I've been using the 12 week year for over 4 years. I've read the book and took the training at Buffini & Company's Peak Experience. My new one starts 8/3/2020. It's a great way to drill down only 3 goals, your most important 3 for the next 3 months. You can start yours anytime, it doesn't have to coincide with the calendar quarters because in between each 12 Week Year, you need to take at least one week off after completion to rest & recharge. This achieve was worth a read for those of you its new too.

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Be Angry
- 07/10/20 05:47 AM
"Anyone can become angry. That is easy.
But to be angry with the right person,
to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose
and in the right way - that's not easy."
~ Aristotle
Your action for today is to see if you are angry
about something or with someone.
If you are, what can you do about it?
Design an extraordinary day!
I have had to forgive in my mind, people I couldn't forgive in person.
I have shared anger to restore the peace.
I have had to forgive some pretty major wrong doings.
I have had to let go of anger, with no resolution.
It's a … (22 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: 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!

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: KAIROS
- 07/09/20 09:39 AM
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those
who cannot read and write,
but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."
~ Futurist, Alvin Toffler
Your action for today is to learn something new --
a new word, a new system or a new tool in your computer program.
I learned a new word this morning:
Kairos - a propitious moment for decision or action.
an Ancient Greek word meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.
The ancient Greeks had two words for time: chronos and kairos.
The former refers to chronological or sequential time, while the latter
signifies a proper or opportune time for action.
And all that means that … (11 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Imagine
- 07/08/20 07:12 AM
"Reality is above all else a variable and nobody is qualified to say that he or she knows exactly what it is.
As a matter of fact, with a firm enough commitment, you can sometimes create a reality which did not exist before."
~ Novelist, Margaret Halsey
Your action for today is to stop for five minutes,
close your eyes and
visualize in detail where you’d like to
see yourself in two years
-- make a commitment to take this time
at least two times a week.
Design an extraordinary day!
While I was dating my bride and
on vacation in Maui in 2000,
I promised her through a vivid visualization,

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Go Away!
- 07/07/20 07:16 AM
"Every now and then go away--for when you come back to
your work, your judgment will be surer."
~ Leonardo DaVinci
Your action for today is to schedule on your calendar
a personal day or two just for yourself.
I think one of the most controversial things I do in Real Estate is take Sundays off religiously (pun intended) and weekly for the last 10 years plus. You can not get me by phone, text or email if it is work related. I made this commitment to my family and I honor it so that they trust and respect me.
Guess what, my clients honor/respect it too, … (12 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor: Take Action: Stand On Your Books
- 07/06/20 06:42 AM
One of my favorite philosophy books ever written. What's one of your favorite books?
"The person who doesn't read good books
has no advantage over the person who can't read."
~ Writer, Mark Twain
Your action for today is to spend 15 minutes reading an interesting book.
One of my favorite thought leaders, authors, speakers is Jim Rohn. Jim always said,
“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” And went on to share, “Books are what you step on to take you to a higher shelf. The higher your stack of books, the higher the shelf you can reach. Want to reach higher? Stack … (6 comments)

"Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.
There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going
to be forward, backwards, or sideways. "
~ Writer, H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Your action for today is to force yourself to finish a project you have been procrastinating on.
That means I'll be finishing the "Spring" Cleaning of my office today.
I work better when I'm surrounded by flow vs. clutter, don't you?
I like my paperwork stacks, I'm visual that way,
but let's be honest, a clean desk is a more productive work space.
What is the project that awaits you?

thomas j nelson realtor: 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)

You know, marvel at your years of membership
in Active Rain; 😉 how long you've been a member.
Active Rain began accepting members May 2006!
The days are long, the years are short...I marvel at over 11 years here.
Do you celebrate your anniversary or how long it is that you have began your Active Rain Membership? Do you celebrate your relationships here? The wisdom shared?
