Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom #203 - The Power of Now

What a smart kid with great self-esteem. I can tell he's going to be emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, intellectually healthy.

Great video Dean. Love seeing your children, and if we could all try to live in the now, how amazing life could be.

That was a great blog and yes I smiled and laughed. Seems not only are you such an inspiration to us you are doing a great job as a father.

Dean, as they say "the apple does not fall far
from the tree". I also had that same fun when my
boys were small--nothing like it. Thanks for the
reminder.

Hi Dean, Hope all is well

This is Mike Lopez

Wow Brody is not camera shy lol, I have twin girls, hopefully they can meet and play with Brody soon.

Great video, so many times we live in the past instead of living in the now where everything happens. Thanks for reminding us all

Have a great day Bowling

You are right - it made me smile My boys are grown now and this really made me nostalgic for those days - enjoy to the max!

Hi Dean

You are so right......Our future hasn't happened yet....So we need to focus on our present....

Father & Son Day......Nice.....Enjoy......

Regards,
Sharon

Dean,
I have children as well, and this is why I do real estate. I spend much more time with them now, then when I was in the banking industry. It makes me remember why I am doing all of this.

Dean you son is a great little boy. He must be so much fun to be around. Thanks for the tip of the book The Power of Now. I will pick it up and read it. Have fun with your son today and laugh alot wich doesn't seem like that is too hard to do with your family.Enjoy!

Watching Brody and you work together brings out the awesome memories of my boys when they were that young. And again, Thank you Dean, for another awesome weekly wisdom video. After watching the video I grabbed a piece of paper from the printer and made a poster to put on the wall by my desk to remind me everyday to live in the now and not the past or future.

Heck, I think I'll even put reminders in my cell phone. That way when it reminds me through out the day, I'll remember to pass that on to whomever is around at the moment.

Thanks Again !!!

Keep up the great work !

Dean,

As always, I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and helping to motivate me to take action NOW!! I am looking forward to sending you my success story in the not so distant future.

NOW, I must try to close these deals so that I can spend some time with the Children and especially the grandchildren.

Enjoy your little man and keep tickling!!! LOL

Hey Dean Brody is going to be special I can see that as you are. I had sent you a book I wrote a childrens book I hope you got it let me know what you think and I hope your kids will enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing and pointing out that the past was research. I really liked that. It gave me hope for today. I Liked your son, he's real cute. Have loads of fun today with your little one.

Thank you once again Dean. 'The Power of Now' is truly an inspiring book, and a great reminder to be mindful of life and our connections in it. Using our history, our past as 'reference' for our present to build our future is Huge! It's a wonderful way to help us keep our lives in balance and enjoy the present.
Here's to all of our families, may we all be mindful and respectful of each others individuality and beauty.

so true about living in the now, and that Brody has no clue about what could happen!

I have been telling my self for a few days now that I need to live like a child. Reason being is I am getting ready to go on a trip friday, and I do NOT like flying! So if I could just live as a kid, I would have no clue about ANYTHING, but the moment!

D

Dean, your son is adorable!! Yes, children do live in the now. I have three sons, who are not so little anymore, but I remember them as little boys and how they had such enthusiasm for life and everything they did. I also remember what Jesus said about people needing to become like little children in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. It is so important to live in the present because it is the only thing we are promised. There is a saying that yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here yet, but today is a gift which is why it is call the present! We all need to remember that each and every day. Thank you for sharing Brody with all of us!

What a great reminder to live in the now. We also need to remember that there is enough to do for today. We can deal with tomorrow when it gets here.

I wanted to watch the training videos again but I cannot locate them. Con someone help me please?

Couldn't help but smile from the very start of this video. He definitely is not camera shy. Thought it was interesting that while your topic of the Power of Now is so applicable, Brody demonstrated even a 4 yr old has the capacity to think about potential consequences of actions: "If you get tickled and play you may fall down and hit your head, the blood may come out." Yet these "potential" consequences do not keep him from wanting to play tickle with his daddy. This made me think, as a new RE Investor, I must NOT be paralyzed by the idea that I am going to have "blood come out of my head" when I take action, otherwise, I will just end up sitting on my butt, and not having any fun. But only getting bored listening to people who have actually experienced the fruit of their labor. (Brody's expressions toward the end were classic!). Thanks Dean for all your encouragement. God bless you and your family!

Michstan,

Here is the link to the video:

that is so true about living the moment, I have two kids and they get back up after being down like nothing ever happened, they dont think of bad situations just the moment of real time.

real time for them is happy time all the time and laughter which takes stress away and we all need some of that.

love everyone and lets have a fullfiled life!!!

This video is true confirmation of what I was meditating on as I was reading Dean's book. I remembered when God told us we had to be as little children-receive. I was fighting overthinking things. This venture is new for me and if I was truly in "The Know," then I wouldn't be reading Dean's book.

Brody doesn't have JUNK preventing him from being who he is. He's without the worries of tomorrow or society, and we as adults must be the same way. Thanks. NO FEARS!!

This was fun to watch. Your son is so cute Dean. Thanks for sharing.

Great reminder of how we are supposed to live. I now understand why my most favorite book says to "become as these little children."

Brody is adorable! He reminds me of my 3 yr old. Full of energy, personality and funny faces! That was great..I had to watch it twice.

So true about living in the NOW and not focusing on the tomorrow or the past. I must definitely keep that in mind on this journey because it is definitely fear of the future that holds me back.

Thanks for sharing Brody with all of us!! I'm going to go hang out with my little one right now and just enjoy the moment!

Thanks Dean for this video. Life is so much easier with you live it with out fear.

Matthew 18:3
3 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

That was great Dean he is amazing god bless him. I my self have one of each. Son & daughter wish both are the apple of my life & a granddaughter cuties one of them all. It's so true we have to live in the moment and not in the past. Again peace & love to all on the DG & Family.

Hi Dean,
Thank you for sharing your son with us he is sooo cute. What a blessing you and your wife have. I am so glad and really proud of you for taking time to have a daddy day with your children. We need you and your help Dean, but no one needs you more than your wife and Kids.

You are a real blessing to us and I must say THANK YOU to your wife and kids for sharing you with us as I know you are not a 9-5 ontrapaner. I am very close to having the money to get into the program that Nate and I are talking about. I don't only want the trial I am going to work hard to buy the whole program and that program will be the stepping stones to the 2000.00 program I really want to get into.

Next week I will be going to Fresno to learn from my dad how to flip and interview tenants for the rental. What I have learned from you now my father see I am really interested in learning the business and between what I can learn from you and my dad I know I can be a success. If it was not for you and my father seeing me studying your books and videos I don't think my father would have ever taught me the family business. Thanks Dean.

I have to say one of the best things about REI is that you can make your own schedule and fit EVERYTHING you want to do into your life, including time for the little ones! They grow up way too fast, but this career lets you treasure every moment! I had my little grandson with me this week, it is one of the greatest blessings! I LOVE being able to tell me daughter, yes, I can be there for her, and for him. Dean, thanks for making that possible in my life, and congrats on being such an awesome daddy, even while you take the time to be an awesome teacher to all of us!!

God bless!
