Recently, someone asked me about my "Bucket List". I am sure that some of you have seen the movie, and are familiar with the term. I have not seen the movie yet, but I am familiar with the plot.
I do have a "Life List". I have it posted on a website called, Superviva. I am amazed that I have been able to cross some things off my list. It's exciting to write and commit to things you used to only dream of. It's as if admitting them and writing them down has some magical power that propels you in the direction of achieving them. Or maybe it's just that by writing them down, it makes you ask yourself the question, "Why Not?" If nothing else, it seems to provide some direction in my life.
I'm a huge promoter of goal setting and thinking positive. I believe that your brain doesn't know the difference between what's real, and what you tell it. What do I mean by that? Well, let's say that you want to lose some weight. If you constantly profess that you cannot walk by a piece of chocolate without eating it, every time you walk by chocolate you will probably eat it. If you proclaim that you can eat a piece of cake and gain 3 pounds, your brain hears you and can make it happen.
What if you said something like, "I am in control of what I eat, and every day I am losing weight and getting healthier". Try saying that out loud at least 20 times every morning for the next week, and see if your chocolate cravings suddenly have no power over you.
At this point, you are wondering what any of this has to do with helping you get your home sold, or finding just the right home for you to buy. Or, if you are an agent, how does this help you in your business?
Believe me, it applies! Having a positive outlook will make a huge difference in the way you see situations that arise, help you keep an open mind and be able to "think outside the box" and get the task completed. I want you to believe that whatever obstacles are against you, you can overcome them. It absolutely CAN be done! But first, you must believe! Whatever the mind can believe, it can achieve!
