OfflineSo many things run through my head as I move along day to day. I have this dream of being financially free...
It goes something like this:
I wake up proud of myself in the morning for the real estate deal I made the day before which filled my bank account with 5k, adding to the nice amount already existing in the "virtual" pocket of money safety, I prepare my 2 year old little girl for the day as usual, my husband and I plan to take a trip to see our family in Missouri, the coffee aroma fills our well lit, beautiful "green" home as I go to our dock outside to enjoy my coffee and cigarette, I watch our beautiful dogs play in our big yard. I take out my camera to photograph the mist rising from the waterway welcoming the day.
I dream of the success to come and yet it is hard to see that it is still a dream, not reality. I am alone in this game, no coaches, no money to "invest", and yet I must keep trying and move forward always!
I decided to commit my spare time (which is small) to flipping house/contracts over a year ago, and still no money to make it real.
I can't be discouraged, frightened, or overwhelmed by self-defeating thoughts. I hold this dream like my child (only less diapers and not near as much love). The thought of my first deal, wether it be assignment, double closing, rental, or what, I tell myself it is going to happen soon.
Hello and welcome. What a beautiful dream and remember dreams come true every day. I'm looking forward to hearing about your journey in REI. You may not have coaches or money to invest right now but you will reach your goal one way or another. There are so many helpful and knowledgable people on this website who are willing to help you.
I wish you much success in REI.

That dream is beautiful! I want to sit out there with you and enjoy the morning!!
Yet it is something that you can surely make reality. I have learned this past year to dream bigger than I ever let myself before. And I realized that I had been LIMITING myself with what I HAD been dreaming of. The next step is to take the steps necessary to make it your reality. Believe me, there have been so many things that would pop into my mind over the last year or two, and then I just set out out to make them happen, whether it be slow or fast, just determined, going around obstacles as they showed up! LOL
So set your course. The only way you won't get to where you want to be is if you keep the dream in your head.
Looking forward to seeing a photo of you on your dock.

D-R-E-A-M, This is very simple easy to spell word But a lot of people in this country don't believe in Dreams anymore. A lot of people already gave up there dreams because of Frustrations and Continuing Failures.
Great to know that you still believe in DREAMS Adrian, I myself still do and will never give up my Dreams. Let's go on and continue with our journey.

Everytime you repeat the words "I CAN DO IT" with conviction, you cancel or override your fear and increase your confidence. By repeating this affirmation over and over, you can eventually build your courage and confidence to the point where you are unafraid. -Brian Tracy-
Thank you all for your comments of encouragement and warmth. I CAN DO IT! This will be my mantra.
Love and success to all!
Adrian
Those who succeed are those who complete the course. Dreaming is the beginning of reality, if it is worked on diligently. Adrian it is great to dream, we only have to remember to wake up and put those dreams into action to realize success. All the best on your RE journey. God Bless.
