Good News Friday Podcast Week 29
(5 Minutes and 29 Seconds)

Hello and Welcome back to Good News Friday! Today is Friday February 18th, 2010. My name is Bruce Karasik. 

In Steven Pressfield’s Book “The War of Art,” He tells the story about a woman who learns she has cancer and has six months to live. Within days she quits her job, resumes the dream of writing songs that she gave up to raise a family. She travels the world, and lives out all the dreams and fantasies she had always wanted. Her friends think she is crazy and she herself has never been happier. There is a postscript. The woman’s cancer goes into remission. 

Is that what it takes? Do we have to stare death in the face to make us stand up and live the life we have always wanted to live? If tomorrow morning everyone woke up with the power to take the first step to pursuing his or her dreams, the world would be a very different place. How would your life be different if you lived life to the fullest and did not wait for that “someday” or “one day that may never come? 

So how do we do start living out our dreams? Well, it starts with a thought, a mindset. 

In another one of my favorite books “As a Man Thinketh by James Allen he says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is, and as he continues to think so he remains. All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts. He who cherishes a beautiful vision will one day realize it. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you become. In all human affairs there are efforts and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance is not. Gifts, powers, material, intellectual, and spiritual possessions, are the fruit of effort; they are thoughts completed, objects accomplished, and visions realized. The vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart- this you will build your life by and this you will become.” 

And so I ask you my friends, are you living your life to the fullest? Are you vigorously pursuing your ‘Art”, your life’s purpose, your dreams? Maybe it’s time you start now. In my initial consultations with my clients, my clients share with me what their dreams are, and what is most important to them. And only after knowing what is most important to my clients can I truly help them the most. Maybe your dream is owning your first home, or moving to a bigger home, or a better neighborhood with better schools. But before you act you need a plan and we can help you with that. 

Now more than ever it is important to contact a real professional to get the best advice. So call me or email and I will be happy to talk with you, your friends, your family or your neighbors, about the most current information about the Real Estate and Mortgage market and how it can affect you. Our goal is to save you money when you buy your home this year or refinance at the new lower rates. 

The key to success is having the right advisors and consultants in place so you can have the right strategy. As your trusted Real Estate consultants and advisors, we at the Karasik Team work in our unique ability. My unique ability is consulting, negotiating and overseeing the transaction details.
