Motivational Monday - Unleash the Power of NOW! 💥⏰

Thank you so much, Wayne Martin - you know I'm always honored to be featured in AR's Bananatude group!

Hi Ray Henson! I hope you're enjoying your 'spare' time on the pickleball courts! I know, at some point in my life, I'll be joining in on the pickleball craze! 

I'm the same way about punctuality and spending that extra time doing ANYTHING - knowing I'm there and ready. I arrived at a showing this morning about 20 minutes early and made a couple of calls and checked text messages and emails and felt ZERO pressure as I was showing my clients when they arrived. It makes a WORLD of difference in my world - and I am certain, my blood pressure too!

Hi Lori Mode! YES! Just turning it off is exactly what I do. There's nothing in our business that is an emergency and giving whomever I'm with, my undivided attention is so important to me. I give that same courtesy to everyone!

Oh, the multitasking requirement bar really has been raised over the years, hasn't it, George Souto!

Oh, you are spot-on, Pat Starnes-Front Gate Realty - attention deficit is exactly what we all have become! I'm with you, leaving my phone home when I take a walk gives me so much more peace and makes me better at dealing with situations afterwards. 

Oh, I'm so ashamed of mine, TODD PICCONI INLANDEMPIRE & SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY, CA - it's taken me over 3 years to park both of our vehicles in the garage and it's still a hot mess!

I did have a contractor out to make a repair one day and I apologized for my messy garage as we were walking towards the garage for something he needed to get to. He said, "You know you can't trust anyone with a clean garage, don't you?!" I promised to use that to put my clients at ease whose garages are in need of organizing! LOL

Thank you so much, Jeff Dowler, CRS! It's a task that I battle nearly every day - there are simply more distractions than ever and it remains a challenge for me! As for listening, I think being a nurse made that a 'habit' for me and it has carried through to my current business and definitely my personal life.

I fuss all of the time about my MIL, who has always been one who listens to respond and it has forever driven me CRAZY!  I love her but, I don't love that about her! She will ask a question, I answer and then she follows up with another question that I answered in my original answer...and she does it ALL of the time. 🤦‍♀️

And you are spot-on, Myrl Jeffcoat! As my parents use to say, "you have one mouth and two ears for a reason!"

And, thank you for the feature, Myrl. I truly appreciate it!

Here's some interesting information on both he and his wife who continued his mission work after his death at SUCH a young age (28), Endre Barath, Jr. 

That TRULY is a wonderful gift to give oneself, Anna "Banana" Kruchten - without a doubt! I love being outdoors too - it truly does cleanse the mind and the soul.

Oh, that is so very true, Candice A. Donofrio - and I'd much rather live it than be distracted and miss half of it!
