Your words of encouragement are so appreciated! Being grateful for life and all the positives has really helped distract from the negative things. Hope you enjoy the festival of lights on the boats in Newport!

Thanks again for mentioning perception, I have your quote about perceptions in my profile summary from the first time I heard you talk about perception and reality.

You've touched so many people's lives, that's more valuable than all the riches you've gained! Keep it up!

Happy 4th of July to you and your family!

God bless!

to Dean, his family and all the DGers and their families, as well as all the soldiers out there and their families. it's easy to take our country for granted and our soldiers as well. as the mother of an active soldier, i am reminded that we all need to show our gratitude every day of the year and not just a time or two. we still live in a great country and thank God for the freedoms we enjoy. i am so thankful for this website and the great friends i have made here. this site and the friends are what keep me going most of all.

May everyone have a great and safe holiday weekend! God bless our troops who are serving currently and those that have!

My world is spinning in a downward spiral. However when I get on this site and read your books. I feel there is a little hope. I feel I can, but yet I haven't done any deals. Emotional ups and downs. I need a helping hand, or a push in the right direction.

Anyway thank you for being a light at the end of a tunnel. I just need to find out which path to take in the maze.

getting encouragement from you makes my day!! I really have strengthen my thought process and the way i deal with situations because of you. Thank you for being so selfless and taking the time out of your day to go over and beyond to make sure that you dg fam is motivated and successful. Happy early 4th of july to you and your family. God Bless,

Many times we take life for granted and forget the (God) super power that has us here. Another day is not promised to no one. Therefore, as do the July 4th, everyday we have to be thankful that we have seen another sunrise, another day that will bring us success and happiness. To Dean, his staff, my fellow DGers I must convey sincere thanks for your support, encouragement, inspiration, wisdom and knowledge. Happy 4th of July, Be safe and remember no drinking (alcohol beverages) and driving. God Bless.

Dean

Yes We Can!! Thank you to all of you. Happy 4th to you and your family!

What can I say Dean but Thanks Again! Your E-mail caught me by surprise and at a time that I really needed someone on my side, as it's my turn in the meat grinder right now and life is just kicking my @$$ right now on all fronts. This E-mail seemed to be a little more personal ( not that the others don't reach their goal ) it's just that you're on vacation with your family and you still have it in you to find time to reach out before making breakfast for your family. It's like "elixbrown" said above, You were talking directly to me as I was face down on the mat with the ref' counting 6!7!8!9!. Your tenacity to continue to lead by example screamed GET UP! YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH WORSE! LET'S GO! We've got work to do.... And with that you reversed my whole perception and saved me from a weekend of "dread". Thank You my friend, May you and your family have a fantastic July 4th here in Newport Beach, enjoy the boatlight show in a boat crusing along if you can, take the ferry across to Balboa Island and the kids to the Fun Zone and enjoy the walks on both piers, watch out for the riptides while in the water and try to secure some beach front property for us while you're here, Yeah! The D.G. Family Timeshare - Newport Beach, Ca., Yeah!,That sounds good to me! What da ya think Rina!? Have Fun, Be Safe and we'll talk to you soon Dean, Thanks Again!, Manny

Dean, thank you so much for your continuing words of encouragement! To be greatful always is the key to NEVER taking things for granted.I will keep pressing on, and serching for ways around the circumstances that visits my life!
I wish you,your family and my DG family a very happy 4th of July.... Now get of your computer and relax!!!

I LOVE how we lift eachother up!

Lorenzo

Dean like you always tell us life have a lot of up and down. But you take that ride on that roll coaster once min you up and the next you down. I tell myself this is a test and if you let the test bet you your dream die. So I'm saying keep encouragement us to move forward. Dean have a Happy 4 with your family. God Bless

Angie

Each step you take you are closer to you dream

I pray that you and your family have a great and safe 4th and thanks for all you do.

Happy 4th to you too Dean! Family time is very precious, and don't worry, I have 2 teenagers and they still love being around us! Enjoy your vacation!

Hey, I came across a potential development deal in Newport, and I going to try to PM it to you. It is too big for me alone, it is not on the MLS and only went out to a select group of people, somehow I am on the list??

Dean, I hope you and your family enjoy plenty of free days on your vacation! You deserve a ton of them. Thank you for always taking the time to inspire us and encourage us to always reach higher than we ever dreamed possible!
Living with an attitude of gratitude daily for all I have. Much love to everyone for a save and joyous holiday!

Happy 4th of July to you and your family! Have a fun and fantastic vacation! Thank you for everything you do to help so many of us. I love the 'Yes you can' in the title of this post, they are strong and powerful words. It's so cool that you make breakfast for your little ones you are creating memories that will last a lifetime. You mention being grateful often. How true and important this is.

Thanks again for taking time away from your family to give us some more great in site. It really helps when you talk about the reality of life in general. And to let us know that no matter were we are at its not always going to be easy. The difference between wining and losing is what we as people chose to do with it. So each day I have a choice, Am I a winner today, Or do i chose to be a loser.

Randy

Dean,
Once again you have brought light to me and my little world. Throughtout the last few weeks I have been on this site everyday and when I seem to hit a bump in my road I get an email from you that seems to be talking DIRECTLY to me. I can be selfish at times so on this note, you ARE talking to me and I appreciate that so much! I needed that today and I want to say thanks from the bottom of my heart and soul.

Happy 4th of July to everyone and GOD bless all of you. Keep coming to this site, read all the posts, ask questions and reach for help if you need it. There is alot of people that come to this site and your post just may hit a cord and they just may respond to you offering this or that. Be grateful and keep working at it as if its the last thing you will do on this earth. Just remember one thing, you took the first step and ordered Deans Books, you took a leap of faith... now don't let yourself down by only doing it half way. YOU MUST DO IT FOR YOU NOW because if you dont you will be in the same place in the weeks / years to come. This site has so much to offer... put the work in and read the site, follow the suggestions and I am sure we will all be where we truly want to be... happy!

Closing my little book, but thank you to everyone that has been a insperation (sp) to me and has helped me through some rough spots... I appreciate all of you!

During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4.

In a remarkable coincidence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence to later serve as President of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. [Wikipedia] See the Movie "1776".

The Fourth of July is the day we give thanks to those who fought and gave their lives for these United States of America then and presently. To everyone out here in DG Country enjoy your 4th and make it a safe one - God Bless.

Yes, I can do it. I CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT. It's true. Just looked at a bunch of properties yesterday and my very experienced agent was even feeling discouraged at the market here. I got home and my air conditioning had broken down on the hottest day of the year so far. It's 110 in Phoenix! It's JULY!!! So how much will that cost?!?!?

But even in the heat last night, I looked at my comps again and told my agent that those are still good deals...the comps show it and I know that sometimes the best money can be made at the bottom of the market. SO LET'S DO IT!

We all need a few words of encouragement now and again, so thanks Dean!

Happy Early 4th to All as well & GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Gratitude. I am immensely grateful for my health, my talents, my wife, my pets, my intuition, my foresight, my spirituality, my humor, my creativity, my enthusiasm, and All of you!

I and the family are sitting here, (well as of the moment just I and Roxy our Rottweiller) listening to the stir of aerial bombardment. I am in Chicago so it sometimes tends to be quite loud, late and lengthy with the celebrations, bbq's etc. Doggie has calmed down somewhat, thankfully, without the use of meds .

I was out back with the Mrs. yesterday playing gardener and pruner.
Rather quiet, though mid-afternoon to early evening we agreed to tidy up the large Rose-of-Sharon trees in the yard. Upon coming to my aide with the stepladder, my wife struck up a conversation with the elderly neighbor man from across the alleyway. My wife noticed there was a large or noticeable amount of discarded goods near the trash of his house and asked: "Did you guys get water?", in relation to the monsoon like rains we'd been having. Now, knowledgeable of the fact that we have this property for sale. The elderly man snapped: "Actually, we're gonna sell ours before you sell yours"
OK...I thought, this coming from the gentlemen that's been living there for more than 45 years. I thought just to chalk it up to sneyd, obnoxious and rude remarks. This is the same man that exclaimed to me while I was modernizing and beautifying the detached garage:"Whatcha doin' all that for? It's ONLY a garage!". WELL, here it came, like a loaded gun, like an upper cut to the ribs, like a train with a cowscoop. He proceeded to tell us how his 42yr young daughter has cancer. Stage 1, ovarian or uterus. With today's technology and medical breakthroughs, everyone should be like: snip, cut, tuck, done, piece of cake. However, for my wife and I it's more like hearing the absolute worst. This, being due to the "Double-Wammy" of both her mother, and my mother passing within a few recent years of the terrible "C".
Anyways, apologies for my vivid painting of the scenario, I tend to be, well, vivid.

Along with the trash heaped up by the neighbor's cans, we seen a bed. Thought it was from a few neighbors further down. Now this WAS NOT a 5yr old kids bed that was stained, or had broken springs, or was ripped, or rotted. On the contrary this particular bed had to be OVER 50 years old, it was a twin sized, perhaps from her childhood, in "aged" condition. The daughter had been using this for most of her adolescent and well into her adult life.

It Turns out, that our older neighbor (The Father) stated:"I decided to get "her" a New Bed". It took a monumental or benchmark tragedy to have this man part with some of his stockpiled, hoarded finances to get something such as a bed for his daughter. Let me just say, I know for fact, this person to be comfortably financed enough to make it to regular trips to the casino boats, bingo events and so on.

I am not judging my neighbor. I am using their experience to be that much more GRATEFUL for everyone & everything I have the luxury of having.

Knowing Life is Short, Our Days are Numbered, and You Can't Take It with You has helped me evolve and not only change my life but others as well. Most friends and family have grown to dislike the "New & Improved" J&J. However, it seems like now we have other neighbors and strangers fighting over who gets to spend time with us these days. I don't know if this is good, bad or ugly. But, I embrace change now, try ever so hard to excercise self-control, keep patient, and I will always remain ABUNDANTLY GRATEFUL.

Just wanna wish you and your family, Dean....as well as the entire DG family a happy and safe 4th of July. Hope you're enjoying your time in my awesome state of California and that you're getting in much rest and relaxation. Looking forward to the BIG surprise that's on its way....I'M TOTALLY EXCITED FOR IT!! Thank you again for sharing your motivational message with us. I, as well as a lot of other people really needed to hear it from the best guy ever! ; ) Take care and looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Andre

I need to find a little mantra to get through these hard times. I wake up and have immediate anxiety. Getting married in 7 days! That might have something to do with it. There is a whole list of other challenges that I won't dump here including structural, plumbing, and financial issues. Sounds like the real estate investment business doesn't it?

Proud to be an American! Thank you to each one of you who have served in the armed forces and to your family for the sacifices they've made to keep us free and safe.

For you all going through a rough time. I love this 3 minute video. Make sure your sound is on.

As you can see, we all appreciate that you took time to send this message of encouragement to all of us. I'm also very glad to see how precious the time with your family is. Enjoy California and have a great Fourth.
