May I share an interesting lesson that I learned from someone younger than I was, a few years back. She was the daughter of a friend that had been sent to recuperate in the US (I didn't ask why as she was a bit withdrawn on that topic) She wanted to workout so we set up a time and place and gathered a group to be supportive as her English was still not quite comfortable. One day I was under the weather with a head cold and just didn't feel like going and I called and tried to decline my participation for the day. She was past insistant and all the way to adament so I dragged my grumpy person to the gym after swigging a bottle of orange juice, straight. ; )
She proceeded to tell me that I could be doing nothing more important than working the cold out of my system. Humph! was my reply-not having been raised with the benefit of a practising holistic "doctor" for a mother I didn't understand the power of "working out the cold". She was clear what had to happen and "encouraged me" Pushed me past my "want to" stage and into "this kid needs to go home now!" stage. It took one more day for me to realize that it had worked? I am still amazed at what the human body can do when we just ask for it.
I bring up this story because it is almost time for you to consider a slip from those resolutions and instead maybe my little friend's push can be a pay it forward for you to think about asking your body to do a tiny bit more than it did yesterday, just for tommorrow. I couldn't believe that it would really help my ill feelings but, it really truly did. (Darn it!)
So what 3 things can you do tommorrow that will bring in some money yet this month? Maybe the answer is going to workout and mentioning that you are in real estate? Think about it! Life is a L O N G lesson in humility-James Barrie. Even the kids have something to teach us. Oh yes and for those who are curious-that young lady had spent the summer in a vegetarian mode and working out dilligently and at the end of the summer she told me why- she had Hodgkins(Cancer) and she said she had been able to reduce the lump under her arm by diet and exercize. I was priviledged to see her get married a year later and she was a happy, healthy bride!
