Move Forward

Whenever we go somewhere, we only know so much about where we're headed to.  It's like watching a movie- you know what you'll watch and you sort of have an idea about how the story goes.  But you really never know how good or bad the movie will be until you actually watch it.

I think it's the same for a lot of things.  We decide whether we will move forward or not based on a number of things.  But whatever happens, no matter how much we observe, a blind side will always be there.  So if you're planning to do something, do what you have to do to weigh your pros and cons, and then just go for it.  Go ahead and find out.  Move forward.

Letter to myself 365 days from now

By now, you should have finished graduate school.  No excuses.
You should have been able to set aside money to pay the unit you bought in full upon its turnover to you.
You should be with someone who makes your heart smile everyday.  Someone who makes you want to be a better person.
By now, you should be flawless at your job.  By this time, you should be able to close 2 leases each week
By now, you should be starting to plan your next property acquisition.
You should be a whole lot better in everything now than you were 365 days ago.

Remember to grow up but not grow old.
Explore and do not be afraid.
It's never about what people think, it's about how you feel.

Just Say Yes

Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love

Just say yes
Cause I'm aching and I know you are too
For the touch
Of your warm skin as I breathe you in

Please take my hand
For God's sake, dear
It's all I want

There is always something to be thankful for

Thank You that I am here, living the life that I am living.
Thank You that I have a job that I enjoy doing.
Thank You for my family and my friends.
Thank You for the gift of life and love.

Thank You because right now, my heart is smiling.
Thank You that despite the uncertainty, there is a string of something meaningful to hang on to.
Thank You that even if I am afraid to get hurt, I move forward.
Thank You for another reason to be grateful.
