Report Card of Life

It can seem harsh to think that every aspect of our life is reporting back to us like grades on a report card as to how well we are doing in living and applying the universal rules governing all that we are creating in our life.




In my early years of elementary, middle, and high school I was not a particularly good student. My report cards definitely reflected this fact. "Robert, you can do anything you put your mind to, if you would just put your mind to something…anything!" was the common plea of my parents at this time of my life. School and studying didn't interest me much however and my grades reflected this fact.




Little did I know as a young man that all of life was much like school; there are multiple subjects and the better we learn and apply the rules the better grade or results we will get out of life.




In school, the better you study and understand the lessons, the better grade you get when tested. It seems self-evident that real life, life after school, operates upon specific rules/laws, yet for many years I was not interested in really studying the necessary lessons to learn how to be successful in every aspect of my life.




We all can readily spout off our A,B,C's and much of the book learning of our school education, yet can we readily spout off the universal laws and truths that govern how we are getting everything that we are getting in life?




Our report card of life reveals how well we are doing in our interpersonal relationships, our finances, our spiritual growth, our peace of mind, our joy, our health, our ability to manifest the desires of our heart. I know that many of us are getting A's or B's in one or two of these classes, but the rest…




It can be easier to think that the manifestations of our life are too random and out of our control to ever truly master and get "straight A's." Yet many of us partake in self-help seminars, read books on getting better results in various aspects of our life, go to church to learn, and follow teachers and gurus in the hope that we can figure out what we missed in the school of life in order to get an A.




We all live life, yet often we wish for someone to write the book titled, "Life for Dummies" because life seems so complex and unfair. The real truths/rules/laws of life are simple. Life does not require a Ph.D., it does however require consistency and accuracy in applying them!




As a business owner, Speaker and Realtor, people come to me for help for every issue involving business concepts sort of like they do coming to see a doctor. The true definition of doctor is not healer, but teacher. So much of the time I am presented with people who will fight to the death to hold onto medicines, ideas, life concepts, unforgiveness, and other self-deprecating thoughts, never realizing that those same issues are what is giving them such bad grades!




Why hold onto beliefs and life concepts that are not working for you? I occasionally say to them "So how is that belief working for you?" just hopefully to open the window of their mind just enough to help them see what their belief is creating.




Do I personally get "Straight A's" in every aspect of my life now? No, yet I am getting better grades all the time as I study diligently and apply the lessons in the textbook of life.




Life is not made up of random events. Like it or not you are much more in direct control of what experiences and results you keep getting in your life. Unlike your school report card, the Report Card of Life is updated within each moment, based upon your ability to continue to do what is necessary to maintain the continual stream of creation of that which is truly wanted.




Thankfully it is not like a Credit Report which tracks all the mistakes and less than perfect times in your past, and limits your access to manifesting everything you want in the now moment!




I have written this and other educational posts on my blog to inspire you to really understand and consistently apply the life lessons necessary in order to live a happy, healthy, prosperous life.




The path is set in front of you - will you take the path or create your own ?

North Dallas Homes

Recent homes sold over a million have sold at 80% or less of list price! The two new homes on Wesgrove were sold at auction on 9/16! Though showings are slow, sales are stronger under $700,000 and values have gone up! We are dealing with a pickier buyer these days who want a perfect house, low rates, and a low price if renovating is needed! INTEREST RATES ARE VERY VERY LOW NOW. Strong credit rating is required. Be sure to deal with a reputable, experienced Realtor and lender! Appraisals are tough with either LOW comparables!. Hopefully this burst of activity will last through the fall/winter this year........ If you need information on activity in your area I can help! Your referrals are sincerely appreciated.

CASH for Clunkers

Cash rebates for clunker vehicles were such a smash hit, the government is at it again - this time offering you cash for your worn-out household appliances. The $300-million federal program - administered through the states - will provide consumers with a cash rebate of up to 15% of the cost of each new Energy Star-rated refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, clothes washer, water heater and room air conditioner. Expect rebates to run from $100 to $250, depending on the cost of the appliance. But wait - there's more. The program also covers central AC/heating systems, providing rebates of up to $1,500 for Energy Star-rated replacement systems plus a federal income tax credit of up to $1,500 on purchases made by the end of this year. Though a few states - Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and Rhode Island - have jumped the gun and already have the incentives in play, most other states will launch the program later this month. States' shares of the federal program are based on population. Ca...

The insanity of moving

* Are you moving or planning a move ? Here are my ideas of moving and how to prepare yourself. Moving is never easy, and factoring in some useful moving tips might mean that you never have to say you are sorry. There can be a lot of trauma and heartbreak involved in leaving a familiar domestic environment and settling into a strange one. We tend to develop an attachment to familiar surroundings and people. However, when there is no other option but to move to a new home, there are two reasons for following some moving tips for the process: Planning the move and streamlining the process in advance will save time, money and effort. Following a plan will keep anxieties about moving and nagging feelings of regret at bay. If you have a sizeable household to move across the state, you will of course need the services of a moving company. You can contract such services or choose to do it yourself via the U-Haul option. Either option will entail involving other family members, as well as frien...
