Ted Funding: While real estate class (and school in general) is never the first place youâd want to spend your #extramoney, if that overhead is necessary to furthering #yourdreams , why not make it happen?
The key is to not look at refund money as âspending money.â When we #shift our #perspective on extra cash from one for #pleasures to one for lifeâs #gameplan, weâll begin to start taking less trips and start #jumpstarting more dreams.

Itâs a shame that we so often overlook whatâs #deepinside of ourselves, in pursuit of external #validation. We crave #possessions and #worldly #success. We crave validation from others. Our attention is ever diverted away from whatâs going on inside. Why?
Because itâs not a bowl of cherries in there.
As much as we know that, deep down, we are innocent, vulnerable and sweet, there is often a wall of negativity and #self-sabotage that stands in the way of our deeper truth.
It is this wall of negativity that you must penetrate if you want to live in touch with your true self. How do you go about it?
When the negative thoughts within harangue you, try these 5 methods for moving past themâŚ
Try it. Take a paper and pen, then begin recording the stream of thoughts that pass through your mind. Donât attempt to edit your thoughtsâŚjust write. When the stream of thoughts is coming to an end, ask yourself, âHow do I sum all this up?â Then, record the next thing that comes to mind.
This final thought is a worth knowing. If it is positive, then youâve just handed yourself a piece of inspiration. If itâs negative, then you now have a negative belief to address that may be getting in your way. Address it!
Complete the following sentence with at least three answers that come to mind:
What I most need to know about myself isâŚ.
One of the answers will probably point in a productive direction in your growth as a person. If itâs positive, take inspiration. If itâs negative, find your humility and take on the challenge of dealing with it.
There are people in your life that know you and care about you. When was the last time you asked one of them for personal feedback? Most of us never act proactively to learn from one of the best resources around â other people.
What do you think is one of my finest qualities?
What do you think I need to work on as a person?
Ask sincerely. If youâre bold enough to inquire, youâll learn more about who you are through the eyes of others.
Itâs not as difficult as it might seem. Hereâs on thing to try. Take out a sheet of paper and put at the top: My Purpose in Life, For Now, IsâŚâŚ
Then, write! Keep writing until you hit on an idea that grabs you, emotionally. Yes, get past all the surface thoughts and youâll soon come across an idea that sparks deeper emotions in you. Stop there. You may have just run across something valuable. Savor that thought. It could be your purpose at this time in your life.
5. #Groundyourself and #listen
I believe that all of us have the inner wisdom we need â if we will listen. Again, itâs the negative voices inside that tend to drown out the deeper message. One good way to get past these voices is to ground yourself before turning your attention inward.
Hereâs how to do it: Sit comfortably and listen to the background sounds in the room. They might include the sound of a fan blowing, your computer humming or the sound of distant traffic. Pick one mundane, consistent background noise â white noise. Just listen to it until you feel a slight settling within yourself.
After you settle, then turn your attention inward and simply listen for any words of wisdom you need at this time. Try it!
Yes, it all takes a little #conscious effort. Surprisingly little! Yet, whatâs more surprising, given the rewards, is that so few of us are willing to put in that effort.
But you will, wonât you?
