So In my previous post I told you that 33+ hours kinda put this week in a blur for me, which is so crazy true, and after my 33+ hours I went to bed and got some good rest, so good that I missed my Tuesday morning meeting at the elementary school. No I wasn’t taking my kids to school! Although having more children is in “The Experience List”. (More on The Experience List later)
Instead there is an elementary school one block from my 4plex and one day when researching how my post on Zillow looked for an apartment that I had for rent, I noticed that Zillow made it a point to say that the crime area was high and that the elementary school was a “D” level school. Needless to say this just fu#$%ng pissed me off! How am I supposed to get great renters if everything around my property is shitty? This just isn’t acceptable to me. Something MUST change. I must find a way to get great renters. And in my emotional state I thought of everything that I had read and listened to about business, managing, life management, and attaining filthy rich success….. and something hit me like a freight train. It’s a saying from Peter Diamandis. It’s a quote that seems to constantly pulse and resonate within me from time to time, and at that moment of trying to formulate a path to success I couldn’t help but to remember Peter’s quote…. “If you want to make a billion dollars, then help a billion people” – still hits me now even as I write these words-
But yea, so all of a sudden I knew that if I wanted great renters that I would have to help the community. So I decided that I need to go to the elementary school and ask how I (as an investor in the neighborhood) How can I help the community? How can I help the school to be better? How can I use my time in a positive way to affect positive change? I don’t know what I can do, but Fuck! I gotta try right?
Now back to the beginning of today’s post………..So I missed my morning meeting? Why? because I did 30+ hours the day before and didn’t hear my alarm. Uuuuuggghhhhh Fudge! This will not happen again! Needless to say I was pissed that I missed something that I consider to be important. Now how did I recover from it. First I bitched and whined for a short time, then after enough self mental beatings, I remembered something Tony Robbins once said about a moment in his own life when he had these same emotions. He (Tony Robbins) was living in a million dollar castle (Yes MILLION dollar fucking CASTLE) over looking the ocean. Hard to have a bad day when you have the life of a millionaire king right? LOL, but as I learned from Jim Rohn. Painfully, “It rains on every one.” “Problems are not gifts solely designated for the poor”. So, he (Tony) had just gotten home and was upset because of a Santa Claus long list of all the people that he needed to call and things that he needed to sort and do but did not want to get done. He just wasn’t in the mood and needed to break the funk. He needed to turn a bad mood into a good mood. So how does someone do this??? You must change focus, change behavior, change physical state, even if it means stripping your clothes and running around the neighborhood naked, change everything possible to create a new state of mind. What did Tony do to get in the mood to make phone calls. He decided to take his phone to the hottub and make a couple of calls from his hottub. A couple of calls led to a few more calls, and a few more calls lead to him getting something done.
Sadly I have no hottub so how did I stop from being pissed about missing my meeting? I remembered that my day wasn’t over, I remembered that it’s about the larger picture, I decided to remember that for me, if something doesn’t happen in the manner that I want then it was meant to be and that it is only setting me up for something better than what I was trying to do. It may sound frivolous, pie in the sky, or too simple of an answer, but the truth is this…… You MUST believe that there is ALWAYS something great about to happen. And that after every storm, there is sunshine, after every pain there is relief, after every sad moment there is joy, after every long night, there is a beautiful morning. So (its really not a far stretch to believe) it’s only in the cards that if I missed an important meeting that there is an even better and more important meeting going to happen for me. This is how successful people think. It’s not easy to do unless you practice. It’s mental work, but if you practice, and understand that its like working out, you will build mental muscle (resilience) and will soon enough result in the ability to bounce back faster, my goal is to cut my bitching and whining time down to 1 second. Currently it fluxes from 10 minutes to several hours, depending on how well I was able to mentally set up and start my day. But even though its a large gap , I can see that gap beginning to shrink.
The only thing stopping me from me and my millions is my own thoughts and beliefs of how I view my own personal life. I must stay positive, I must stay focused, I must remember that I have a purpose, and I must always connect and attach to things that will propel me closer to my dreams. This is a must. Because without knowing, I am always one step from falling off the edge of the cliff. I am human. But if I practice, conscientiously practice, then nothing can stop me. Not even my own caveman mind!
On my next post I will show how I turned this bad emotion into a meeting at a high school to begin work on giving back to the hood that I grew up in. If I can save at least one amazing beautiful person (from the hood I grew up in) from not letting their surroundings dictate their belief of themselves, then hopefully God will know that him putting me here on this earth wasn’t all for naught…….. Part 3 in the works – The DJ In The Hood.
