Are you just living in a dream or living your dreams?
Color Commentary for Thursday, June 8, 2017
By E. R. Haas
"You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however."~ Richard Bach
Last week, we talked about the importance of TQ in Sales: How to get and keep more customers by improving your TQ.
If you are a "primary income producer", I urge you to take Kent's and my advice seriously. (We have been VERY successful at this.)
This week, we will be doing a "refresher" course on dreams and dreaming.
Your dreams are critically important in the grand scheme of things—because without them, your life has no future.
Like Richard Bach, I believe that your dreams can come true if you apply sufficient power to make them real. In other words, dreams aren't realized by DREAMING—they are realized by DOING.
Some dreams require little or no power... just enough to insure forward momentum. Other dreams require massive power... applied over decades.
The Power to Dream...
How much dream-achieving personal power do you have? Check your personal Time Prism...
Energy Mission Attitude
Set Goals Make Plans Prioritize
Synergize Organize Optimize Act Now
Why not take 5 minutes today to spot-check your Energy, Mission and Attitude Colors?
These three Colors, at the most basic level, define WHO you are: Your physical and mental Energy level... your sense of purpose, vision and Mission... and your Attitude / disposition towards life... both at home and at work.
These three Colors are critical to not only acheiving your dreams, but giving yourself the right to dream at all.
Since we like to quantify these issues, add up the scores from your three Colors. What do you think your future looks like if you score less than 6 on any of the three? You judge.
What does a low Energy level plus a lack of Mission coupled with a self-defeating Attitude say about your future?
Bright and glowing? Or dim and fading?
The Bottom Line...
If you want to live your dreams, you can. But you'll have to do the work.
My function is to provide you with information, and motivate you to change.
To keep hope alive.
Your role is to look at your life as it is right now, and determine if change is necessary.
If you are happy with your life as it is... if you are actually LIVING your DREAMS... then change is not necessary. Continue the path.
However, if you want to move your life up to the next level, move these three Colors up to 7-8. The difference in your life will be nothing short of staggering.
This year is almost half over. If you want to get it together THIS year, my question is simply this: If not now, when?

My wife because I love her
My ministry because this is God's calling on my life
I have been known to be a Visonary, it works wonderfully but for others in my life, not for myself. Now I will begin on setting myself as the one in charge of the necessay work, the one who indeed is worthy of having the life, the balance, the goals, attitude, the boundaries, the dreams, the focus all for and because of myself. Divorce is the beginning of a major step for me,setting a schedule of my life day to day, boundaries and goals are next, I intend for my life to evolve.

You're an awesome person. What's your passion? What's your vehicle towards your retirement?

Many Spirits and Many Dreams
The dreams, last week I took action on my dream, this week I am having Faith that the dream is a Fact in my life. Myself, I desire only to be and do what God has for me in this life.
Everything is in Gods Hands; we all have to fight the spirit of discouragement within ourselves. The spirits that are around us have to be put away and this is the battle in all our minds.
Everyday is a new day and a new life in the spirit, so make the choice, and choose the Holy Spirit as your Guide.

I am blessed to have accomplished so much. And am even more blessed to see more of my dreams coming true.
Sad - what inspiration will my kids have?
Just a quick response. It does sound like love for your family is a main motivator and you mentioned faithfulness.
In my book helping my children understand the power of love, faithfulness and everyday diligence in life is not a bad inspiration.
For what it's worth...

Dean, by your faithfulness, you provide more inspiration than you realize. You can find a few minutes to get alone with yourself and start with just a few dreams. What the mind can conceive and believe, you will achieve--and receive. Dream and don't give up! So often the perfect home and white picket fence dream of our childhood doesn't happen as soon as we'd hoped and we stop dreaming.
I find myself sometimes thinking negative thoughts about people who do not understand that my mission is to help them. This doesn't help anyone's dream. I must focus on what needs fixing within me. I have a poster in my office that says, "Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday!" I will believe and live that thought.
I understand how you feel. I'm not only a part-time agent, but an adjunct professor of real estate and an RE coach. Yes, the market is not like it has been, but everything is always about change.
I promise you that there are agents who are making tons of money right now---they've just adjusted their sails and moved forward. I honestly believe that an agent's success is 90% attitude and faith. I've even written a book about this, and if you would like, I will happily send you an electronic copy of it for no charge. Just email me at tamara2@surewest.net.
ER is talking about attitude alot in this commentary, so hang on to his every word...he knows what's up!
Wishing you well!

I'm entering my most challenging season, however (kids out of school for the summer and that "summer vacation" state of mind) and instead of watching it be wasted away, I intend on taking full advantage this summer---something I have never done before.
I find I am the happiest when I am busy and have a lot of tasks that I am working on. I might think about it in the moment and say "I have so much to do" "I'm a little overwhelmed" but honestly those are the times in my life when I am the happiest. When I think about the times where I was just sittng and watching TV or I would put things off for another day.. I was usually depressed! So keep busy out there!
Have you read Success on Purpose? Getting your mission is the first thing to figure out, then you'll find yourself a lot more excited and motivated---at least that's what worked for me.
Best of luck!

Those three "Capstones" are what keep me going and on track. It's been a rough week with kids out of school, but I'm still making it a point to take care of business.
Good question. I had set out to get an ebook written by September 1 and if I keep up at the pace I've done for the past week or two, it won't get done.
Thanks for the simple, plain, straight forward question.
Lee
You know why you are not getting your work done on time... now, discover why you're avoidng work... do you have unfinished businesses/tasks? Do you have regrets? Forgive yourself/others and empower yourself to do something about the tasks at hand.
You have the choice...

It is a bit difficult, because growing up, I did not have it very hard. The only things I really felt I earned were through sports. Everything else just comes amazingly easy for me. In the last 3 days I have been inspired again to achieve my athletic dreams.
The direction of my life is towards personal growth, but still not organized... just getting there. I just need to remind myself to take one step at a time and get rid of junk to free up my life.
I'll be fine.
I am able to give Vinayak excellent education and make him see the world.
I am earning so much money that the above 2 points become easy to manage. right now this is the bggest challenge.

Because my IMAGINATION grows, my DREAMS are more vivid and expansive.
Because my DREAMS grow in richness and detail, my LIFE is guided by the full Expectation of ACHIEVEMENT.
Because my ACHIEVEMENTS grow, I feel alive.
So yes, INSPIRING DREAMS are guiding my life!

The road is long and winding with lots of ups and downs.
Lots of potholes and washouts.
But, knowing where the road leads, I am excited each morning and look forward to the bumps and grind!

Follow through with your dream, even if only putting together plans and ideas.
Do not believe the limits others place on you... even the limits you place on yourself are just artificial barriers. They are not real until you test them... push up against them.
I highly recommend you do the work in Success On Purpose, especially connecting your Values to your Visions and see what empowering Role you need to create to reach your dreams.
Build the ladder.
Put it up against the right wall.
Climb as high as you can!

To survive as a planet, we simply must learn how to control the future, 5-10-50 years out.
This is not the same as controlling everything... controlling what man can is the issue.
We do not need more government... political studies... even entrepreneurial initiatives...
We need more "Futurists" who have a highly developed sense of prescience...
With the power of technology and training, we can create a "crystal ball" with the powers of the all seeing eye!

Why will they help?
Simply, it is the right thing for them to do.

I have a very high risk-tollerance and act on opportunity, not hide from exposure.
If anything I live by the old quote, "we have nothing to fear but fear itself!"

In lieu, of this I've reflected, that I am on my path to recovery and success. I am back to painting, though my poetry has taken a back seat until his death, which prompted a heart felt observance of his life and what he did. He reminded me, that I do my poetry, it is a part of my art, though I'd rather get paid for it. I've been afraid to get published because I was afraid of fear itself.
I realize now, that if I don't do what I need to now, when will I do it? This truly is the case. For all I know I'm sitting on a gold mine. Thank you for the heart felt lesson Jimi and TQ. It's a kick in my butt to do what needs to be done.
Yes, I was positive still - thinking of installing new windows in my home before the winter. I was postive until my father slammed the door in my face when I mentioned my house note was behind. All that time no from my family never told me in order to recieve my unemployment benifits I had to appeal. Oh well.... I will loose again.
In those days Taliban became turbulent and they were breaking Bamian statue in Afganistan .We were alert in Asia Pacific .I was stunned by the activities of Asia Pacific region in those days .I started fighting to take gaurd of the situation .
But I was removed from Singapore by Aug 2001 and the entire control that I established got wiped out after that .I think the attack plan on US was finalized and I got removed from Asia Pacific after that .
I tried my best from Asia Pacific .
In 2001 we fought a lot but due to lack of non cooperation from every front we failed .Net impact was on US .
May be I won't go overseas but Indian Boys can do marvel .Just they need US and European cooperation .

What a great question!
Used to be a 25,000 square foot mansion with 100 acres, 12 car garage filled to the brim, and the entire fam within a stone's throw.
My dream is total freedom, with no reserves.
500 million people improving their TQ each day would be close to the capstone of the dream.
WOW -- that is truly inspiring!
