Caught yourself daydreaming? That's great!

The mind is a beautiful thing, a vast collection of thoughts, ideas and dreams. It dwarfs any of the world's supercomputers when it comes to processing and storing one's life, each and every moment of it. I read that the mind is so powerful, that it does not really forget ANYTHING. That's right, the mind, your memory, never forgets. All the things that you see, hear, taste, smell and feel are all inside your head right now.

The time when you got the your first dog. (I'm not a dog person, I just assumed many are)

When you first saw the most amazing bonsai ever made. (That would be cool-a 100 year old bonsai)

The smell of the most disgusting food that you ever saw, but in a peculiar way, tasted rather good.

(Dinuguan maybe? I hope Andrew Zimmern (www.andrewzimmern.com) recommend Dinuguan to his viewers)

Felt the sun shining down on you as you bask in the glory of a guilt-free weekend get away.

(When will the next one be?)

It is just a matter of accessing that information. Not surprising though is that the memories that you tend to remember easily are those that gave you great joy or sadness or excitement or fear or gratitude or anxiety.

So, one can really be in control of everything that he thinks of, because you have a whole lot of information just idly standing by in your head, it's up to you to make good use of it.

I have a habit of daydreaming, A LOT. Most of my daydreams include scenes when I'm opening my 100 door apartments in the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, France and London. I also daydream about checks coming to my mail and my phone ringing off the hook because of buyers and sellers of good deal properties. Another would be crossing the finish line of an Iron Man triathlon event. But what I'm most fond of is a day dream when I'm spending time with my family, my parents (that includes my in-laws), friends, my siblings with their own children and with my beloved wife and our own children which I will call vessels of happiness and grace.

It is said that the things that you think most of and often, materializes. You send vibrations to the universe, influencing matter and molecules to move and come into action so that your visions, thoughts and dreams come into reality.

I'd like for you to do the same thing, visualize all the things that you want to happen to you and the people you love. Help these daydreams by writing them down and posting them on your wall, printing out pictures so you will be constantly reminded by the things that you want to have or be.

In all things, persevere,

Massive Actions

July 10, 2010

Saturday

13:40

I'm inside my therapy room right now and I decided to write my daily reflection since I missed my chance this morning and I wasn't able to jog also because I woke up at 6:25am. Yes, even in my first sentence, I HAVE SO MANY EXCUSES. I could've jogged if only slept earlier. I could've written down my reflection for the day if I stopped, and gave the 15min session I have for myself to reflect on where I am now, what am I doing with my life and in what direction I want it to go.

So many excuses, that even myself, am aware, are only minions of procrastination.

You haven't done the dishes? Prepared your clothes for the out of town trip? Haven't payed the bills? All these are excuses that each and everyone of us encounter. But what about the excuses that are hindering me from being a successful real estate investor? What's my excuse about this now?

Anthony, are you aware of what you are doing to yourself?

You are slowly killing your future, shortening its life time, a future wherein you and your family as well as thousands of people you can help are financially free and literate.

Do you really want to let all those people down? Are you really going to let yourself down?

I didn't mean for my first daily reflection to be a scolding but I'm just glad I decided to go through with this. I looked at the time and I still have 7 minutes before my 15 minute "me time" is over. My point is, I know you are scared of what might happen! I know I'm scared of what will happen to the future. I will be successful, but it also entails that I take care of far greater responsibilities than what I'm handling right now.

On my way to the clinic, I told Jep, "How come we talk about getting involved in the stock market? Starting our own business? Doing real estate and putting up our own clinic? " And she said, "That's true, is this normal?". "I don't think the rich people do just normal things, they do extraordinary things that's why they are rich" I replied. Then I told her, "You know what, rich people don't consider what they do on a day-to-day basis extraordinary, what poor people consider extraordinary, I just plain simple and normal to the rich. That's the difference between the poor and the rich, the rich ACT while the poor do not".

Take all the time that you need to figure out what you are doing and what you want to do. You have to take MASSIVE ACTIONS now. And yes, I could not emphasize on the time frame enough;

TAKE MASSIVE ACTIONS NOW.

In all things, persevere,
