“From the ashes of disaster grew the roses of a new life.”
☝️ loving this line!

When you realize that all your material achievements are of value only in comparison with those who don’t have them, this is joy that springs from another’s deprivation. Can you really call this joy? Isn’t it actually a kind of sickness? It is time everyone addressed this. If you were alone on this planet, what would you want for yourself? Ask yourself this question and see where it takes you.

There was pain. Terrible, unbearable pain. But pain is a natural phenomenon, & it is good. Without it you wouldn’t know if your leg was chopped off. But suffering is another matter altogether. Pain is bad enough; why make it worse with suffering? Suffering is entirely self-created. And every human being has the choice: to suffer or not to suffer. It doesn’t take much intelligence to choose the latter.

Most people think peace and joy are the goals of the spiritual life. This is a fallacy.
Peace and joy are not things you attain at the end of life. They are the basis of your life. If you consider peace to be the ultimate goal, you will only “rest in peace”!

Let us start with a single question:what do we consider to be a state of well-being?
Very simply, well-being is just deep sense of pleasantness within.If your body feels pleasant,we call this health.If your mind becomes pleasant,we call this peace.If your emotions become pleasant,we call this love.If your life energies become pleasant,we call this bliss.This is all that you are seeking: pleasantness within & without.

POUT
~Sara Holbrook

No use
acting nice to me
when I’m stuck
in a pout.
I can’t let
your niceness in
until my madness
wears
out.

Written cutely 😄😍

A passion for something and when it goes beyond......

One of the favorites 📚

There is always a way to make your dreams come true.....as long as they are truely your dreams.

In early day of real estate deal,there r trial/error.But é each mistake,I got smarter.I started to see pattern,discover formula,system& develop network of ppl.It took time&work but the more I pursue my dream,the luckier I feel & more magical opportunity presented itself to me
Maybe there's bit of luck& magic in success.But its from working hard & being prepared.The drive & desire help overcome obstacles& be prepared

FINAL THOUGHTS

3 Incomes In the world of accounting, there are three different types of income:
1. Ordinary earned
2. Portfolio
3. Passive
The key to financial freedom & great wealth is a person’s ability to convert earned income into passive/portfolio income.
“Ordinary earned income is money you work for, and passive and portfolio income is money working for you.”

5)Finding good deal,right business,right ppl,right investor,or whatever is just like dating.U must go to market & talk to lot of ppl,make lot of offer,counteroffer,negotiate,reject,accept
6)Walk/drive certain area once a month for 10 min
7)Shop 4 bargain in all market
8)Look in right places
9)Look for ppl who want to buy 1st.Then look for ppl who wanna sell
10)Think big
11)Learn from history
12)Action beat inaction

STILL WANT MORE? HERE R SOME TO DO'S
1)Stop doing wt u r doing
Definition of insanity is doing same thing over & over & expecting different result.Stop doing wt isn’t working & look for smth new.Look for new ideas.
For new investing ideas,I go to bookstores & search for books on different & unique subjects
2)Find someone who has done wt u want to do
3)Take classes,read, & attend seminars
4)Make lots of offers

7.Be Indian giver:power of getting smth for nth
8.Use assets to buy luxuries:power of focus
9.Choose heroes:power of myth
10.Teach & u shall receive:power of giving
Process of thinking of wt I want & how I could giv that to someone else,breaks free torrent of bounty.Whenever I feel ppl aren’t smiling,I begin smiling & saying hello.Like magic, I’m surrounded by smiling ppl.It‘s true ur world is only mirror of u

We live in Information Age.Inform is priceless.Good broker should provide u é information & take time to educate u.I‘ve several brokers who do it 4 me.Some taught me when I‘d little or no money,& I‘m till é them today.Wt I pay them is tiny in compariso é what kind of money I can make coz of infor they provide.I love it when my real estate broker/stockbroker make lot money coz it usually means I made lot mone

6.Pay ur brokers well:power of good advice
My rich dad believed in paying professionals well, & I‘ve adopted that policy also.Today, I‘ve expensive attorneys,accountants,real estate brokers, & stockbrokers.Y? Coz if, & I do mean if,ppl r professionals, their services should make u money. & the more money they make, the more money I make.

5. Pay yourself first: the power of self-discipline

If you cannot get control of yourself, do not try to get rich.

The three most important management skills necessary to start your own business are management of:
1. Cash flow
2. People
3. Personal time

4. Master a formula and then learn a new one: the power of learning quickly
Most of us have heard the saying, “U are what u eat.” I have a different slant. I say, “U become what U study.” In other words, be careful what u learn, because ur mind is so powerful that u become what u put in your head. For eg, if u study cooking, u then tend to cook. If u don’t wanna be a cook anymore, u need to study smth else

3.Choose friends carefully:power of association
Dun listen to poor/frightened ppl.I‘ve such friends & while I love them dearly,they r Chicken Littles of life.To them,when it comes to money,esp investments,it’s always”The sky is falling!”They can always tell u y smth won’t work.But ppl who blindly accept doom-and-gloom information r also Chicken Littles.As old saying goes,Birds of a feather flock together

2. Make daily choices: the power of choice
Invest 1st in education. In reality, only real asset u have is your mind, most powerful tool we‘ve dominion over. Each of us has choice of what we put in our brain once we’re old enough. U can watch TV, read golf magazines, or go to ceramics class or class on financial planning. U choose.Most ppl simply buy investments rather than 1st investing in learning abt investing

A reason or purpose is combination of “wants” & “don’t wants.”
If they’re not strong enough,then reality of road ahead may be greater than ur reasons.I‘ve lost money & been set back many times,but it’s deep emotional reasons that kept me standing up & going forward.I wanted to be free by age 40,but it took me until I was 47
I’ve learned that,without strong reason or purpose,anything in life is hard.

GETTING STARTED
There is gold everywhere. Most people are not trained to see it.
10 steps as a process to develop your God-given powers, powers over which only you have control.
1. Find a reason greater than reality: the power of spirit

Overcoming Bad Habits
Our lives are a reflection of our habits more than our education.

Overcoming Arrogance
What I know makes me money. What I don’t know loses me money. Every time I have been arrogant, I have lost money. Coz when I’m arrogant, I truly believe that what I dunno isn’t important

Overcoming Laziness
Rich dad believed that the words “I can’t afford it” shut down your brain. “How can I afford it?” opens up possibilities, excitement, and dreams.

Overcoming Fear
Fear of losing money is real. Everyone has it. Even the rich. But it’s not having fear that is the problem. It’s how u handle fear. It’s how u handle losing. It’s how u handle failure that makes the difference in one’s life. Failure inspires winners. Failure defeats losers.

Overcoming Cynicism
Our doubts often paralyze us.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
The primary difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they manage fear.

There are five main reasons why financially literate people may still not develop abundant asset columns that could produce a large cash flow.
The five reasons are:
1. Fear
2. Cynicism
3. Laziness
4. Bad habits
5. Arrogance

LESSON 6: WORK TO LEARN — DON'T WORK FOR MONEY

Job security meant everything to my educated dad. Learning meant everything to my rich dad.

The main management skills needed for success are:
1. Management of cash flow
2. Management of systems
3. Management of people

1. Find an opportunity that everyone else missed
U see with ur mind what others miss with their eyes.
2. Raise money
The average person only goes to the bank. This second type of investor needs to know how to raise capital, and there are many ways that don’t require a bank.
3. Organize smart people

Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. Most people never win because they’re more afraid of losing. That is why I found school so silly. In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.
