| Have you ever wondered why the rich tend to get richer, while most middle class Americans are struggling to keep up. It is no coincidence and we don't believe that rich people are any smarter; however, they do possess certain qualities that set them apart. 1. They are clear about what they want. They focus their attention on those things and not on things they don't want. It is best if you write your goals down on paper and look at them every day. 2. They don't give up. With persistence and determination, you are bound to succeed. 3. They look at problems as opportunities in disguise. 4. They realise that in life there are sometimes adversities, but they know there is always the seed of an equivalent benefit. As we head in to 2007, write down what you'd like to have in your life. Whether it is a new car, a home in Maui, a better job, improved health, a new soul mate, or whatever, make your list. The important thing is for you to believe that it is achievable, and that it is something you truly want. Remember that the "Law of Attraction" is immutable. As Napoleon Hill wrote, "Think and Grow Rich". Whatever you think about and focus your attention on is what you will bring in to your life. Of course, we are not talking strictly about material things, but on quality of life as well, so please be sure to include on your list things such as a more loving and peaceful world. Together, we can be an instrument for change. Have a wonderful week. Mahalo Nui Loa,The Smith Team Greg, Ken and Jeremy Smith  P.S. In case you are wondering how the above relates to real estate on Maui, we believe and, in fact, know that there is a direct correlation between how people feel and the state of the market. If people are focused on negativity and lack, that is what they are going to see. Maui is an absolutely incredible place to live and work. We feel especially blessed and fortunate that we have the opportunity to reside here, and we want to share that with like minded positive individuals. |
