One of the biggest pleasures I get these days is helping people.  Especially with short sales and pre-foreclosures.

People who are struggling financially.

Every single day I am in contact with many people who are hoping and praying for a money miracle.

I am NOT trying to be flippant or insensitive in the least.

Those who know me will tell you I am one of the most caring people they know.

But here’s the thing:  If you don’t or can’t move forward, if you’re paralyzed by fear, if you don’t demonstrate some initiative and self-motivation, people will be less inclined to help you.

It’s a fact.

No matter who you are or what your setbacks, you MUST power your way through it.

Believe me.  Take it from one who knows.  You have no other option.

Do that, and angels which you never even knew existed WILL come to your aid.

Again, believe me.  Take it from one who knows.

So how do you take action?

1. Accept the reality.  You are where you are and it’s your responsibility to get yourself out of your situation.

2.  Look for opportunity.  No matter who you are opportunity is like bus stop.  There’s another opportunity coming in about 15 minutes.  It’s up to you to jump on the bus and ride it to whether it leads.

Again, what I am offering sounds simple.  But it’s hard, make no mistake.  But it can be done.  You must make a concerted, deliberate, massive effort.  But YOU CAN DO IT.

If I can, you can too.

During 2 Weeks to Wealth in NJ (where I still am conducting my 4-day Short Sale Bootcamp), a soon-to-be client commented to me to me the other day and said:

“It’s easy for you to be happy. You have whatever you want.

You get to take cool trips, have a nice business and get to hang out with nationally respected people like Loral Langemeier and Harry Dent.

Me on the other hand… my house is over financed and in foreclosure, I have $112,000 in credit card debt and no job…my life sucks… it’s easy for you.”

He WAS 100% correct. It is easy for me. Why?

I have a very specific strategy for it.

Here it is: My happiness is tied to finding cool things that inspire me. That’s why cool things that inspire me keep showing up.

I’m not advocating we live our lives in a huge dome, like Jim Carey in “The Truman Show”. A complete fabrication of the perfect life and perfect world.

I’m not talking about poking holes in reality or allowing a tiny seepage of positive thoughts to temporarily enter your mind.

I’m talking a full frontal onslaught of thoughts that conjure up words like flow, optimism, resilience, courage, virtues, energy, flourishing, strengths, happiness, curiosity, meaning, subjective well-being, forgiveness, and even joy.

Dang, that’s a novel idea to actually have joy in your life, not from things that your environment produces but things to be deliberately grateful for.

The same honest joy that came from the little girl who was reunited with her sweet little puppy that she thought she lost that I told you about earlier.

Sure, this strategy takes effort. I remind myself of these thoughts when i go into one of my temporary neurotic compulsive and self indulgent spiraling moments of panic. Panic and guilt for not getting things done fast enough… often and simultaneously fighting overwhelm that’s all over me like a bad rash.

Then I simmer down and get back to my “why”.

To make a living or make a difference … Which one do I choose?

I choose happiness every time… that comes from all the little things… minuscule little occurrence’s …maybe the picture of Allie on my i-phone… or thoughts of skinny dippin’ with my honey back home…

Moments that give me great jolts of inspiration–during even the biggest storms.

To make a living or make a difference … Which one do you want? Which one do you choose? Because it is always a decision…

I am truly inspired by what I do. Not to make a living, but to make a difference.

As I write this message from my hotel room in New Jersey this morning getting ready for 2 Weeks to Wealthand then onto my 4-Day Short Sales Bootcamp, I am thinking about:

… this past week of travel, speaking and television interviews…

… and weekend with my wife on a boat…

… and my daughter Allie starting high school as a stranger in a strange land…

… especially the little puppy dog that we found and had to give back to the sweet little girl who was given and lost it at her eleventh birthday party as a gift . (Just after my dogs fell in love with her…)

All in a week’s time…

That’s real wealth to me… and I wouldn’t trade it for all the money in the world.

At the last 2 Weeks to Wealth in Atlanta, it was amazing.

People came away with so many breakthroughs and ideas… people came away inspired and motivated. Harry Dent, Loral Langemeier, Todd Morgan and myself are confident it will absolutely happen again.
