Real Estate Investing Weekly Wisdom #289 - Win Dean's iPhone 5

Something I've had to learn but has helped me so much in life is...

To Thy own self be true.

This means being true to who you are, your own beliefs and philosophies, and NOT pretending to be someone or something else only to please other people.

Cheaters never win and winners never cheat.

You are never so wise that you don't need a
mentor.

Don't bite off more than you can chew because nobody looks attractive spitting it back out.

Very cool Dean. It is clear to see that you want to raise your kids in the proper way! I would add:

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourself.

Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Have a great week all!
Brant

Today is the Best day of your life!

Nice List, I love it.

Focus on the person you want to become..not on the mistakes from your past.

Sometimes we just have to encourage ourselves.

Always encourage and compliment others.

Linda

Dean that was a excellent list, Getting kids to get involved at a young age is wonderful.especially items that you shared with everyone.My addition is Always have confidence in yourself,dont say I cant, because it always works out for best.if you at lefast try. Thanks Carol in Texas

Treat others as you would want to be treated.

Life is very interesting. In the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.

None of you truly believes until he or she wishes for their brother and sister what they wish for themselves.

Take responsibility for what's yours - your actions, your words, your triggers, your family, your feelings.

1. Anything worth doing is worth doing to the best of your ability
2. Make it right the first time, and you will not have to do it over again

Negative outcomes are a learning opportunity, not a failure

Be genuine with yourself and others!

I printed out your philosophies and posted them on my office wall. Thanks for another great weekly wisdom. I will use this in my life this week. Big decisions to make.

Love what you do and do what you love. it's that simple.

Everything else will fall into place when you do!

Have a great week!

Here's my lesson, that took a long time to really lean and understand:

It is what it is, BUT - It Becomes What YOU Make Of It.

Thomas Goodwin

"My biggest challenges are also my biggest opportunities".

Not earth shattering, but something I try to be aware & make use of.

Thanks again Dean! I would add: 1)Do what is right, especially when no one is watching & 2)Have you hugged your keiki(child) today? Hug your keiki at least once a day.

Yep, made me well up this morning watching your video. You are so genuine and transparent, always willing to share your treasures with us. You are a good daddy and a good leader.
Here's an add:
Talk to God everyday and then be still and listen.

Look for the best in people. Everyone has different strengths. Help them learn to appreciate and foster their strengths.

Thanks Dean. Great list everybody

This is one that you need to write and stick on your bathroom mirror and say it everyday..

"Reality is nothing more than what we choose it to be"

I don't believe in good or bad news, news is just news. What you do with and what you learn from what has come your way is what determines whether it's bad or good.

Dean nice list.
My addition

Keep improving and going forward cause the if not result is regression.

Life has no Problems-Only challenges that need solutions to be overcome.

I have literally omitted the word "problem" my vocabulary and replaced it with the word "Challenge"-reminding me that we need to find a solution to overcome the challenge set before us

Do NOT do to others as they do to you, Most people do not realize or think about what they are doing before they do it.

Hi Dean,
My mother listened to your weekly wisdom,her comment to me was: I Don't remember raising him!
I wish more people would follow these examples. Great Job.
Tony

Thank you Dean- that was a lot of wonderful philosophies in a nutshell. If I would add one it would be that if you are just comfortable in what you are doing, then it is time to challenge yourself, to do something new, and step out of your comfort zone.
Thanks again, Linda

What a great exercise in putting your core beliefs to paper and sharing. One thing in life above all else should be that you stand by your principals and having the desire to always want to do the right thing for all and not for any selfish reasons. If your not sure whats right then follow that wisdom of listening with your ears and not your mouth. The truth and direction will eventually surface. Thanks again Dean

First, thanks for sharing. Here are some things I believe in and some of them are extensions of what you said:

The harder you work, the luckier you get

If it is worth doing, it is worth doing it right

It is unacceptable not to do the right thing once you know what the right thing is

Be a positive, uplifting, inspiring type of person. (D.G.)

Side step that party and make a beeline for the library! or meeting, or deal.

Create a personalized daily rituals that empower you. Master these habits!

Be Super-Spectacular and create or join something that has intrinsic EXCELLENCE that contributes on a Global arena.
