This week we covered a lot of ground by comparing the returns of real estate against everything from a college education to precious metals. All too often in life we spend an inordinate amount of time and energy investing in things, people and even concepts that don't yield the hoped for results...or worse...actually detract us from trying or achieving those things in life that would bring true happiness and contentment. For this week's 15 minute resolution, we are going to tackle the tough topic of truly pursuing life, liberty and happiness with the help of a bit of introspections and a few telling questions.
1. What advice would you give to your 18 year old self? Face it. Mistakes are the way some of us seem to learn best but that doesn't mean history must continue to repeat itself. What advice would you give yourself if you were to do it all over again? Ignore the warnings of a conservative parent who pushed you into a career you hate? Take a chance on living a life you love by making a radical career change? Whatever it is, write it down and share it with someone else.
2. What assumptions are you still operating under? Fear, indecision and anxiety tend to underpin many of the most important decisions of life...but are they actually based in reason? Technology, time and individual experience changes what seems like "fact" into something that often turns out to be little more than fiction.
3. What myths do you live by? Society, technology, economics, globalization...the world is changing but many people are still operating under the same old sayings their grandparents or even great grandparents did. Does college still pay? Is gold always a safe haven? Re-examine the myths that structure your life to learn how to separate fact from fiction then plan your own journey accordingly.
4. What is holding you back and why? Stand back and take a good hard look at the list you just created to see what is holding you back and why. Perhaps it's fear, unfounded "facts" you have never stopped to re-examine or simply the inability to perceive another way of life...whatever the basis for inaction, it's time to get real with yourself. This week take time to participate in a free webinar or other series to learn how ordinary people just like you are making their dreams come true by investing in real estate.
