I think its because of these tapes and their gradual influence that I have been brought to a place in my mind where I finally believe that anything is possible. I've said that in the past but its always felt like something you tell a child to comfort them when they have experience a dissapointment. But now it feels somehow more real than it ever has for me.
I decided to reach out the other day, and I was searching for another way to network and meet new people but at the same time preserve my family life by not traveling all over the city and not spend my hours and sanity on the phone. So I reached out in a very 21st century way (the century, not the realty company). I went on Facebook and began making friend requests.
I think I sent out about 400 that day, not an easy task for someone without the aid of software or an assistant. But I took it farther than that. Anyone can ask people to be "friends" on a social networking site, but I actually reached out to the folks that confirmed me as a "friend." Sent a little note thanking them for accepting me and in turn asking them about themselves. I must say that I'm still at the beginning, but the results are truly amazing. I've already met so many interesting and diverse people that the world seems a much friendlier place to me.
What's more is I'm not one of these guys who makes friends just to sell you something, I'm not opposed to seeing what someone's business is, but I like the little niceities first. How are you? What can you tell me about yourself? Then I ask what has become a power question for me. How can I know if someone I'm talking to would be a good prospect for you? Wow.
You know why that's powerful? Because it says that I'm not out here just for myself, I want success for you too. Its a simple choice that all of us have to make. Do we live in a world of scarcity and desperation? Or do we live in abundance where there is enough wealth, health, and happiness for everyone that wants it?
Oh God I feel like I swallowed an info-mercial. All I'm trying to say without all the new age sentiment, is don't let life beat you down. You've got bills you can't pay, but you're trying, don't stress out, the creditors don't take your life, they just try to spread the fear of something terrible happening that you can't recover from. That's bullshit. I went from a 500 credit score to a 730 in less than a year, and I did it by learning how to fix my credit and making it happen.
The most important assets we have in life are the family that we build, and the space between our ears, and Citibank can't take those away from you unless you give them the power to do it.
Don't give them that power. Keep it and use it to build something lasting for the ones you love.
And reach out and drop me a line, I love to meet new people.
