Enjoy Life More

Ok, so for those of you that know me, and those that don't, I have had some major challenges during the last 24 months. 

Challenges can often lead to depressing and negative thoughts which is definitely NOT who I am.  I decided to do something about this so I picked up a book in the airport called "The Happiness Project".

If you haven't read this book I would highly recommend it.  You don't need to be depressed to appreciate it, you just have to want to improve the existing quality of each and every day.

I personally love Grechen's 12 Commandments and in particular, #3.  This is simple and very good advice, simple being the operative word.  Gretchen's Commandments are listed below.

I'd love to know what you think.

 
Here are her Twelve Commandments:
1. Be Gretchen.
2. Let it go.
3. Act the way I want to feel.
4. Do it now.
5. Be polite and be fair.
6. Enjoy the process.
7. Spend out.
8. Identify the problem.
9. Lighten up.
10. Do what ought to be done.
11. No calculation.
12. There is only love

Reverse Begging: Man Gives Away Money at Intersection (Video)

We are all so familiar with those folks that stand on corners of major intersections hoping someone will give them a dollar to two.  I'm always wondering if they are really stranded and/or disabled.  Either way I don't think it would be something I would want to do unless I really had to.

Seeing this video just brought a smile to me face.

So why are you waiting to buy?

Many of the recent sales we have seen are to investors.  Investors know, now is the time to buy.  With abundant investory and low rates smart shoppers are jumping into the market now.
