Stop Watering the Bald Spots of Your Life and Plant New Seeds

THIS is summer right here. As a teacher with time off during the summer, I have the opportunity to take on new projects. It’s an exciting time to shift gears. But first, I always take a much needed mental break and spend some #qualitytime with the fam. I’ll get back to grinding and hustling and all that good stuff soon but right now... THIS! ...

There are no “Lone Ranger” success stories. Everyone who has and will do something of value has a network of people who support and encourage their vision. Today is our final day of the school year for our students. Summer is here!!! 😁😁😁 I’ve found myself reflecting a lot this week on all that’s been accomplished this year. None of it would have been possible on my own. Even if there weren’t specific people actively engaged in the planning and orchestrating of certain things, there were hundreds of people (family, church, friends) that we’re supporting, encouraging, praying, and listening week in and week out. If you think you’re doing it alone, you’re not looking hard enough. Even the Lone Ranger had Tonto. ... ... ... #loneranger #tonto #yourenotalone #family dmbsc #bsc #buildstrongcommunities #5branches #buildingstrongcommunities #buildingstrongcommunity #strongertogether #lookup #humbleyourself #humility #philly #whyilovephilly #loveyourcommunity #motivation #thinkandgrowrich #prayer #bscfamily #loveyofamily #lovequotes #loveyofam #familygoals #babyphotography #babypics #nakedbaby

A question was posed to me this weekend, “When you sit down to a meal, just how thankful are you?” Not sure why but it took me back a bit, made me think. I’m a busy man. I’m constantly struggling over the daily balance of engage/retreat. And for me, the retreat portion often takes a back seat to the engage part of my life. If you’re an ambitious or driven person, you’ve probably felt the same. However, the retreat has to happen. We must find time to reflect on what has happened in our lives, find time to process it, and above all, search every ounce of it in gratitude. There are so many blessings in our lives that we take for granted, especially here in the United States. If we continue to grow in thankfulness than our ability to read and act in tough situations will grow as well. Our maturity to understand people, to love and to serve them is based on our level of gratitude. I pray we will all be able to find time to retreat, reflect, and give thanks to God and all that He has put in our lives. ... ... #thankfulness #maturity #faith #peace #joy #love #fruits #fruitsofthespirit #bsc #bscfaith #philly #servephilly #smallbusiness #grateful #gratitude #whyilovephilly #eastoaklane

With the requirements of starting a business (real estate or otherwise), feeling isolated comes with the territory. Late hours, confusion, frustration, big victories, colossal failures... it’s all part of the process. But when we take a step back we realize that we are more supported than we think. When we gain perspective we see that these moments are only temporary and that the work we do now is bringing us into greater friendship and fellowship with others and with God. Not sure if any of this makes sense to you, but I thought I’d share nonetheless. ... ... ... #realestate #realestatelife #rei215 #215rei #phillyrealestate #215realestate #reiphilly #buyandhold #landlordlife #landlord #bsc #frankford #huntingpark #philly #whyilovephilly #smallbusiness #startabusiness #itslonelyatthetop
