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.

Get Frustrated!

If you want things to change, you have to be really frustrated, pissed off or down right angry about your current situation. If you are content, happy or comfortable with your current situation then nothing will change.

I am not saying that you have to be frustrated or pissed off all the time, it’s just that you should be uncomfortable enough with your current situation that you can’t stand it any longer and must change it.

Want to lose weight or get fit, this will work only if you are uncomfortable with with your current situation. The same if you’re broke, single or balding. We only come this way once, if you are not happy with your current results. Look at what you have been doing and start to make some changes.

Tired of renting, then save some money for a down payment. Get a gift from a blood relative. Borrow from your retirement savings or sell some stuff on Kijiji. Where there is a will there will always be a way.

Make it a great day.

Cheers,

Pat
