I haven’t posted as much on my blog in the past month because I have been very focused on creating income through real estate. However, the bank listings have not appeared as fast as I wanted. Last night though, I had a dream with the only asset management company that has hired me. In the dream, they were having a meeting telling all the other representatives that there was going to be alot of work and training in the next months ahead. I have been working two full time jobs completely dedicated to pursuing tasks for my dream of publishing a book.
It is almost finished getting edited and now I asked my brother who is a graphic designer, to do the cover for my book. At the same time, I am going on these bank assignments for this asset management company. The pay is minimal, yet the rewards may be great. It is a whole new ball game for me with both of these businesses. Even though I have been a realtor for 24 years, the business is totally changed. I have gotten all new certifications. All this has required an enormous amount of attention to detail. I am blessed to have this gift (as long as I don’t get distracted.) Continue Reading->
I started this 21 day process because of an idea when I woke up one morning and I followed through with it. Maybe doing this whole process helped me to strengthen even greater my faith and surrender in God. Now that I have recovered from my surgery in June and am able to walk stronger, confronting the thought of losing my house and having to even let go of being a Real Estate Broker is a big thing.
With every miracle, or out of the ordinary occurences that have happened in my life, I can move through this with the faith of steel with God that my own mother has. She is an inspiration by her faith. I have never encountered anyone in my life with this kind of faith. Continue Reading->
Once I start exercising, I really feel the movement of my less than positive thoughts start to shake out. I am glad I didn’t lay down and cover my head in the pillow. Sometimes no matter how upbeat I try to remain, the fact is that the environment out there is not so great. The stock market keeps tanking, the automobile industry is hanging on a thread, just like me. And getting new bank listings is slow motion.
Exercise gets me back in my better state of mind where I continue to believe in all the effort I have done so far with real estate and my dream of publishing my book. I woke up this morning with the thought that I have to believe with all my heart that it has value and never stop believing that, even if my left brain kicks in and starts doubting.
At first I felt I wasn’t productive because I didn’t work on the real estate. But then, I did go to the gym(vital for my well being), and I listened to some teleseminars about publishing and got a better idea how to write my book proposal and other great ideas. Then I started to feel guilty for working on my dream. I think my brain gets confused sometimes. I have surrendered to God that whatever is in my highest good…my own destiny….that I be led. I have the intention of creating my life in a whole new way. No more struggle, just simply led as if by angel wings carrying me to the next step.
My guilt comes from that strong focused work eithic that I always have had and since I have identified myself as a real estate broker for 23 years, it is sometimes hard to identify myself as an author. I did get the sense around nine months ago that I could start identifying as an author, but I suppose the mind plays tricks on me, as “well where is the book?” It is real, it is 95% already created and it already exists. So today I stopped feeling guilty of doing what I was led to do.
I felt much more organized today. My intention and focus is still there. Dealing with credit card companies and falling and getting a gash on the side of my head was not fun. Time to stop, take a break…be still and the centeredness comes back. We are always being tested…tested…and tested………..!!!! You can always find your stillness and by doing so you can find your focus once again. It’s the path of least resistance….letting go and letting God.
