Today is a new day. Pick up the phone!

William Ward spoke wisely when he said; "There are three enemies of personal peace: regret over yesterday's mistakes, anxiety over tomorrow's problems, and ingratitude for today's blessings."

With that being said, concerning chasing your dreams and pursuing your goals; don't beat yourself up if you didn't get it right yesterday or don't think you're plans will materialize by tomorrow. Every day is a new beginning, so do your best to get up and make the most of each day. Develop a plan for your day and then work that plan for each day.

One of the most difficult tasks for me to accomplish each day is to pick up the telephone and contact prospects. It seems in my mind, before I'm about to pick up the phone, I am reminded of my freshman year experience in high school wrestling. I'm circling that giant phone analyzing it and breaking out in a sweat looking for that one killer move to pin it down. I hate to admit it, but that 300 pound phone for me is a mighty opponent. It is sometimes difficult to pick up. I don't always make the number of phone calls to prospects that I set for myself. In fact, I don't recall ever making the number of prospect calls that I set for myself on a daily basis. And sometimes I beat myself up for it. I often use any excuse or distraction not to pick it up. But I'm getting better. Each time I tackle that task, it gets a little easier. I become a little more relaxed. I still have to have pep talks with myself in solitude to get in the right frame of mind. Tell myself it's a numbers game. With 7 billion people in this world, I'm bound to find a few that need what I have to offer in real estate investing. I tell myself that if the answer is no, it is not a personal rejection...just the timing is not right.

My point is, today is a new day. You have a fresh start. Whether you're beating yourself up over the phone or anything else...get over it. If you don't believe your going to reach your goal in the time you set...get over it. Be greatful that you have today and make the most of the time and resources you have. Just take some action and it will get easier the more you work at those tasks you try so hard to avoid. Your future depends solely upon the actions you take. If need be, find a mentor or wise counsel. Swallow your pride and ask for help in the areas you're struggling with. Pick up the phone or what ever else you need to do. And press on forward. Your personal dreams and goals are worth pursuing.

To your Success!
