Michael McGrath asked:


Do you realize that the vast majority of your negative thinking is subliminal or below your conscious awareness? If you have heard great stories about people who have used the Law of Attraction and created their dreams simply by visualizing and then taking seemingly simple steps forward but have been unable to emulate their success following the same plan then what you have is a lot of subconscious resistance!

There are thousands of subconscious, subliminal programs that are active within your brain every moment of the day. They are either working for you or against you. Chances are, if you’re reading this and are not a member of the richest 2% of the planet, then you are like 98% of the rest of the planet and are unaware of these silent success killers.

Perhaps you are not aware that your brain and physiology are hard-wired for success. You were born a person who tries and succeeds. Just look at how you learned the seemingly impossible tasks of walking and talking. It never entered your infantile brain that you could not succeed yet, as an adult, with far greater intellect and reasoning skills; you are conditioned to accept failure and possibly believe it is pointless to even try.

From those early beginnings of being born a winner, slowly but surely, the world taught you how to fail. It is not natural for you to fail. Your natural state is one of success, joy and growth. You can regain that wonder you had as a child and that unshakable belief in yourself and your abilities. All you need do is identify those self-defeating patterns of thought and feeling which silently run on automatic in the background noise of your mind.

If you sit quietly and contemplate your beliefs and attitude towards your dreams and inner desires you will be shocked at just how much negativity you have allowed into your consciousness. Unfortunately our negative thoughts are mostly subliminal in nature. Most the time they can be so subtle that they go unnoticed for an entire lifetime. If you have not achieved the success you dream of or are not living your life with joy and appreciation for the things you have achieved then you are certainly carrying around a large amount of subliminal negativity.

Now these beliefs and patterns of negative thinking are not your natural state and were most certainly given to you, initially, by well-meaning parents and peers. However, if they are allowed to remain active within your mind they will cause havoc with your life and undo any attempts you make to create the life you desire.

I am sure if you give it some thought you will be able to identify the sources of these negative beliefs, thoughts and feelings. However, this approach is totally unnecessary and can in fact keep you stuck thinking and feeling in the same way. You do not need to know how or why these negative beliefs became ingrained in your consciousness and part of your belief system. You just need to identify them and then remove them!

Take a good look at what you have in life right now. This is your demonstration. Whatever you have in life or wherever you find yourself it is a direct result of how you think and feel about yourself and your place in the world. If you are content and like that then you have no need to change anything.

However, if you think there are areas that could be improved or even completely changed for the better then it is important for you to begin to understand exactly how you currently think and feel about those areas.

List all the important areas of your life, relationships, career, finances, health, hobbies and see what comes to mind as you contemplate how these things are now. This will show you how you have been thinking, feeling and creating up to this point.

It is also important to become conscious of how you are viewing yourself and how you are treating yourself internally. Most times when our life is not working in a way we want it to, it is merely because we are disapproving of ourselves in one form or another. Practise giving yourself some approval. Give yourself this approval for no particular reason, just make the decision and do it. It is a very pleasurable experience and can have dramatic positive affects that reverberate through your life.

When you have identified your negative views about yourself and your world and acknowledge that you have created your own experiences through your thoughts and feelings it is just a matter of reprogramming your mind. This can be achieved through such things as subliminal programming, hypnosis, sound technologies or just visualization.

Keep in mind that it is your natural state of being to be a winner. You were born that way and it is only your negative programming that hinders you from being, doing and having everything you desire. So begin to take stock of your beliefs by looking at your demonstration (those things, people, situations and circumstances that now surround you) and start to reprogram them. Practise giving yourself approval just because you want to! You don’t need a reason. You disapprove of yourself for no reason most of the time so try turning that on its head for a change.

Take this approach to life and you will transform your world.

Bob Corcoran asked:


“They will never forget you ’til somebody new comes along. Where you been lately? There’s a new kid in town. Everybody loves him, don’t they? Now he’s holding her, and you’re still around. Oh, my, my there’s a new kid in town.” Lyrics to New Kid in Town by the Eagles.

If the real estate industry had a sign hanging over it, it would likely say, “Come in, We’re Open!”

And yes indeed, they are coming in.

Who can blame them? Soaring home values, low interest rates, record sales and corporate downsizing have all helped to open the floodgates to the industry.

And what I see flowing through those gates is a new breed of REALTOR®, one with sharp business acumen, real world corporate experience, solid time management skills and an attitude that says, “I’m going to win.”

I suspect many will win. And here are some reasons why.

1. They have a plan. I mean a real business plan that will help them get and keep customers. A plan that will help them make things happen. A plan that will help their business (yes, they see selling real estate as a real business) run efficiently and smoothly. A plan that won’t allow them to sit and wait for the phone to ring.

They’ve done their homework, they’ve interviewed brokers and agents, economists and others about the marketplace. And from that research, they’ve created a vision that fits their personality, their morals and their work ethic.

It’s clearly one of the biggest mistakes some new REALTORsmake: not doing research. It’s the first steps to a winning plan. There’s so much to know, and yet, some come in without knowing the fundamentals and they think it’ll be easy. They don’t know the number of hours they need to put in - especially when they’re first starting out - to make a living selling real estate. Floor time alone won’t cut it.

One thing that really amazes me as I travel around the country working with REALTORsof all stripes is this: very few of them have a plan. They’ve just hopped into the real estate river and let the current take them where it may. No boat and certainly no rudders.

I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it here again, plan your work and work your plan. You’ll be amazed how much those seven words can change the size of your savings account.

2. They’re not going to go it alone. Let me ask you this, if you were opening a restaurant, would you plan to be the chef, the host, the busboy, the waiter? Of course not.

And these new Realtors know coming in know this fact: that their most valuable asset in their new career is time. And to maximize the use of that time, they’ve adopted a team mentality. So they’ll create a team that lets them focus their efforts on listing and selling real estate, not pushing papers or filing. Remember this: REALTORs® only perform four dollar-producing tasks: list, prospect, sell and negotiate. The rest are non-dollar producing activities.

As I mentioned earlier, many of these new REALTORs®are coming from a business background, mostly middle management, where teams took care of business. They understand teams, how they work and how they can be used to make serious cash in real estate.

I’ve seen them just about every day of my consulting business, REALTORs® who’ve chosen to be the cook, the host, the waiter, they try to do everything. They’re easy to spot. They look frazzled and unprofessional and I suspect their wallets are thin because they’re not spending their time wisely.

3. They’re not afraid to ask for help. This is a first cousin to teamwork. The smarter new REALTORs® know they don’t have all the answers and they’re not afraid to ask for - or spend money for - help from consultants.

Many of my clients have sharp, top-notched business minds yet are new to real estate. But here’s the deal: no matter how smart they are, they’re not ashamed to ask for help, and they know getting an expert second opinion usually pays big dividends.

It’s no secret that there’s a big learning curve in real estate and these new folks know that. That’s why you see so many consulting firms for real estate. (Incidentally, that’s what prompted me to start my business; I saw a niche for affordable consulting in the industry.)

I also believe the brokers who offer solid training and mentoring programs will get their fair share of this new talent entering the industry.

So whether you’re new to real estate or a veteran looking to polish your skills, I can promise you that having a plan, assembling a team and getting help are proven ways to boost your career in real estate. I encourage you to start today. It’s never too late to get a jump on being more successful!

Best of luck to you!

Louis Bonaventura asked:


People live every day in fear. Fear of losing their wealth, fear of losing their loved ones, fear of making the wrong decisions, fear of being themselves, fear of growing up, fear of making a commitment. The list goes on and on.

The leading cause of people not fulfilling their dreams is NOT the fear of failure; it’s the fear of success! The fear of actually accomplishing what they set out to do. The fear of living life to the fullest may have paralyzed you. This will cause you to never really try in your business, or if you do try, to sabotage your efforts so you never have to face your fear of success.

Most people live their lives in the grip of this fear and they aren’t even aware that it has control over them! The fear is the one thing that can turn your dreams of financial freedom, loving relationships, and a fulfilling and significant life into a pattern of habits including procrastination, self-sabotage and other bad habits.

Fear is the dominate problem in your life today. The two questions you need to answer to conquer your fear are:

Which fear has the most control over your behavior? Is it the fear of failure, the fear of rejection, the fear of success, or is it all of them?

How do I interrupt the bad habits that I have developed as a means of protection from this fear? How do I interrupt the programming I have within me?

These are the two most significant questions when it comes to overcoming your fears. If you can answer these two questions, your life will forever change!

The reality of fear is that it is human and is a part of life. It’s not going to go away. Some fear is even healthy! It is a gift given to you to keep you safe and bring you closer to your creator.

Every person is born with three instinctive fears. These are: fear of falling, fear of loud noises, and fear of abandonment. These three fears were given to you to help you monitor what is going on around you. Think about it; it is fear that gives you the adrenaline rush that makes you escape from a situation that is really, truly unsafe. It also gives you the same rush that causes you to fight to win.

Faith is born in fear. God knew in His infinite wisdom that fear is what would drive His people back to Him. Although sometimes it is only in times of extreme fear that we look to God and choose Him. Take a look at your own life and think about the times you looked to God for His power and wisdom. Those were probably times of extreme fear. True faith is born from fear!

So what caused the gift of fear to be the number one problem in society today? Why do people let fear control their actions, beliefs and lives? The answer is the difference between reacting to fear and acting in fear. It has everything to do with your belief system.

Children typically react instinctively to fear, which is appropriate behavior at this age. Most adults don’t make the distinction between reacting to fear, as when they were a child, and acting with their intellect when dealing with fear.

People react instinctively to fear by either denying it or running away from it. They miss the power that comes from acting with their intellect, never allowing the fear to become the gift it was intended to be. Learn to act with your intellect by exposing your true fears and the beliefs they represent and free yourself so you can move on with all you are meant to do, have and become!

Owen Smith asked:


When the children begin to toddle, they behave actively and scamper about, and they are unaware of tiredness in whole day. Some parents think that the games are physical activities, so they are not good for intelligence. Actually, it is not so. The children play the games joyously with scientific guide from adults, which is very helpful to intellectual development of children. Games are not only the world of children, but also the world created by them. There are five benefits of games to the intellectual development of children:

Firstly, the convivial, delightful, and vivacious atmosphere is the significant environment to cultivate the initiative, creative spirit and elaborative faculty of children. Joyful emotion of children is an important environmental factor for the formation of growth and sound psychology. The children, who are devoid of the love from parents and are always beaten and scolded by parents, lack convivial atmosphere; therefore, their intellect and health conditions are not fine. The games could build joyful mood and leave profound memory trace in Children’s mind, so they are the active means to develop the intellect of children.

Secondly, games are propitious to the formation of children’s quick response and judgment capability. The children need to make response and judgment in games; however, this kind of response and judgment is quite dramatic and lively. Unconsciously, the children cultivate quick reflection and response ability, which is very helpful to the brain growth for the children in this stage.

Thirdly, games are good for developing children’s imagination and ideation. Some visual games, such as “Hawk snatches chick”, etc, could develop children’s imagination, while the children could consider how to win and why they fail in the game.

Fourthly, the games make for cultivating the interest of physical and intellectual activities from children and inspiring their aspiration to knowledge. In childhood, they often gradually apperceive and cognize the world through some games. The secret of genius lies in strong interest and boundless passion, and the games add a portion of power for the genius.

Fifthly, games redound to train the willpower of positive confidence and effort for children to gain their ends, which is an extremely important psychology quality for children to become useful people. The accomplished scientists and inventors all have striking confidence and willpower; whereas the children have so clinging expression and vigorous energy to capture the victory in the games, which is just the bud to cultivate these two psychology qualities.

After the parents know the benefits and importance of games, they will not think playing the games is a behavior of wasting time and will not always ask the children to spare all their time on playing piano or learning painting and calligraphy. Therefore, in the games, some scrupulous parents could observe children’s ideality, desire, anxiety, etc. The game is the first success for children on culture and psychology; they express their own thought and sentiment which could not deliver in the games, and sometimes, they even depend on games to overcome now or past complicated mental harassment.

In order to make the games have better effect on children’s physical and mental health, parents could combine the games with edifying the thought of children; that is, when children play the games, parents may put forward various questions to make children reflect. Parents also could participate in the games with children, which make children feel more happiness and avail to the sound mentality formation of children. Simultaneously, parents shall pay attention to that physical games should not be too tired while cerebral games should not be too long.

Mailcucan asked:


The order in which you were born into your family strongly influences your personality, researchers have found. The firstborn children in a family tend to be smarter and more achievement oriented according to the theories originally developed by psychiatrist Alfred Adler, and children without any siblings – “only children” – are similar in personality.

Knowing this, and understanding the quirks and idiosyncracies that come with being an only child, will make it easier to attract and hold onto a woman who grew up with brothers or sisters.

1. Make her feel special. This is good advice when it comes to any woman, but especially with the woman who’s an only child. During their formative years, only children are the center of attention in their home. They have no competition for parental affection, and they’re usually praised by adult friends of the family for being bright, attractive and delightful in every way. Many only children grow up with vivid memories of the culture shock they experienced when they started school, and have spent much of their lives feeling deprived of that special attention they received when they were small. If you shower her with undivided attention, she’ll definitely respond.

2. Don’t expect her to quietly sit in the corner. Only children tend to be perfectionists, and they want to be the best at anything they do. If you need to be the “star” of the relationship, with your woman gazing adoringly up at you while you get all the applause, don’t pursue an only child. You can be an equal in a relationship with an only child, but you’ll never be the main event – they demand far too much of the spotlight to willingly give it all up for their partner.

3. Give her space when she needs it. Although it may seem counter to everything in the previous two points, only children need time to be alone. As children, they spent a lot of time on their own reading, playing and entertaining themselves, and as adult they often find being around people all the time emotionally tiring. After spending so much of her time as the center of attention, she’ll need to recharge and refocus by spending time by herself – don’t take it personally, just respect her need to be by herself for awhile. She’ll thank you for it.

4. Be patient when she’s in a perfectionist frenzy. Only children are conscientious, achievement-oriented, and driven, and that can come out in ways that can strain a relationship. A simple dinner party can become a project that rivals a military campaign, involving weeks of planning recipes, frenzied housecleaning, two full days of cooking and a table set so perfectly that Martha Stewart would be jealous, all so she can shrug and say, “Oh, it was nothing” when her guests praise her lavishly. Do your best to tolerate her crazed obsession with every detail, and don’t try to tell her that she’s sweating the small stuff – for only children, there is no small stuff, just a whole lot of things that need to be perfected.

5. Don’t spoil her. While it’s advisable to show an only child a lot of affection, avoid the temptation to indulge her every whim. Only children are experts at getting their own way, and they’ll do it every chance they get. The problem is, they’re so charming that you may not even realize that you’re being pushed around! She’ll make you feel appreciated for doing so many little things for her that you may not even notice how far it’s gone until you suddenly realize that you’re fetching her drinks, massaging her feet, changing the oil in her car and doing her laundry. Make sure that there’s an equal amount of give-and-take in the relationship, or else you’ll find yourself less a true partner than a manservant.

Keep in mind that intellect and creativity are important to only children. A study at Dartmouth University found that new parents fear for their first or only-born children’s physical safety more than they do for their later children, so only children tend to become more interested in indoor activities – reading, writing, art – than outdoor activities. A woman who is an only child will take pride in her intelligence, and won’t stand for being treated as just a “dumb girl” – so laugh at her jokes and compliment her quick mind.

There are challenges to getting involved with an only child, but you’ll find a woman without siblings to be smart, creative and loyal. It’s certainly worth the extra effort to maintain a relationship with such a woman – should she find you worthy!
