Never Ending

The process for learning is never ending. It used to be said that when you grew up ( what ever that means) you would not have to take any more courses, classes or do any studying. However since we are always growing and learning or at least we should be, there is always something new to learn.

Those who read regularly are more creative, less stressed, happier and are paid more than those who do not read on a regular basis. Yes it takes time and we are already quite busy, but this is something you need to make the time to do. It’s just like exercise but for your brain.

A few years ago I would read maybe 5-6 books a year, and was very sporadic in my reading habit. That changed last year when I committed to doing at least 20 minutes a day. Last year as a result I read 25 books and this year my goal is to hit 30. I am also taking courses to keep up with the latest and greatest in the world of mortgage brokering.

Just as life is every changing, we must adapt to the changes around us and reading is the best way to do that. There is no standing still, and reading facebook or twitter updates does not count as actual reading. So if you have read this far you should have at least 5 min a day to read and expand your mind. Start with something lite and fun and go from there.

Today I am thankful for my daily reading habit, all the people and the places I have seen as a result and the continued curiosity to learn more.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.

Learning

If things went right the 1st time you did them how would you ever learn. We crawl before we walk, and walk before we run and frequently we fall in the process. It’s by failing and getting up and doing it again that we learn to perfect our approach.

Today I am thankful for all the learning experiences that have brought me to where I am today, the rejuvenating nature of a mid afternoon nap and the smile that comes from hearing someone’s big bell laugh.

Self Taught

In school you build the foundation, but it’s what you learn in life that allows you to build the house. Life long learners are the ones who truly excel at life. Sure we learn a lot of important things in school like how to read, write and arithmetic. All very important suff. However to truly be successful at life you have to learn much more than that, and you have to continue learning.

Who wants to see a doctor who hasn’t picked up a book to advance his training since they left medical school 30 years ago. I can tell you that I don’t. The same applies to the pharmacist, the mechanic and even your neighbourhood mortgage broker. The only thing constant in life is change, and those who grow and adapt with it are the ones who will thrive.

If you want to improve your lot in life you must learn and adapt to all the changes that are happening around you or else you run the risk of being left behind while everyone else is moving forward. Now more than every there are multitude of options where you can grow and improve your life. Attend an online seminar, watch how to video’s, read, read and then read some more. Constantly push yourself to grow and improve every day.

Today I am thankful for the beautiful summer weather so early in the year, a home surrounded by mature tree’s which keeps us cool and a busy week ahead to keep me focused on moving forward.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
