Self First, how far up in the ladder of importance do you place yourself?
It's a good question because many people place themselves way too low and find that they are living a life that is less than satisfactory.
Self First is not selfish
Going through your life in that fashion is not really living it is just existing and there is more to life than that.
If we don't take care of our self then we won't be our best to be able to help others.
It's true, even on an airline they instruct you to put your mask on first before helping someone else.
So many times we let things get in the way of all the beautiful things in our lives, we forget to put the oxygen mask on. Let's face it, things get in the way because we let them. The things that are really important always get done, unfortunately we put ourselves to far down the ladder of importance and that is due to many factors:
Stress of a job,
Having enough money at the end of the month
keeping the family healthy
Less than optimal Nutrition (fast food)
All of these things are stressful and seem to be more important than we are ourselves. How do we get it all done when we are not taking care of ourself?
Not putting our self first is more selfish than just taking a moment to do the things that you need to be happy and healthy.
Keeping up with so many things generally keeps us distracted and unable to focus on the things we really want.
Like more time to just "smell the coffee",
To be there for the people you love,
and the freedom that comes when your finances are all taken care of.
I'm sure you can relate because I find that we all want the same things and that is to be happy, so if we all want that, then no matter what it is that makes us happy, we all want the same thing, to be happy.
The trick isn't finding the thing that makes us happy, that isn't hard to find if you don't know what that is try something new.
We happen to love Investing in Real Estate especially when we found out how simple it is. We were builders for 30 years and we thought of real estate in the form of building houses and sub-divisions. There is so much liability there, we knew that wasn't the place for us to retire from.
When the economy changed, we thought we would never return to real estate in the way of owning a business again. We knew we would invest in some ways and keep some of the investments we had.
Because the changes in the housing market were so deep and severe it really forced many people to think of new ways to make real estate work. It's amazing the difference in the environment when people start using innovation and new ideas to change stagnation.
Now real estate is a great tool for recovery. We all need a place to live, as we are trying to recover there are still some bank foreclosures to get through according to analyst. You don't even need a license to make deals work with these new innovations in real estate.
Even if you have absolutely NO Real Estate Experience we show hundreds of people each year how to build a Real Estate business and to do that without using the cash in their own pockets.
We found that many people didn't even know this was possible, It is and we show people how they can do the same for their self. First they need to put them self higher on the list, make them self first.
This is the first and most important step because you can't help others with their oxygen if you aren't wearing your mask. Fresh air breeds ideas so make sure you take care of yourself, put your self first and then your effectiveness and ability to help somebody else will be increased and even multiplied.
