I just can't make this stuff up. I viewed a home today with some clients and the home was very clean and nice. However, when we walked into the living room, it was rather small and had a theme- Deer heads. Yep, that was the theme. The couch was covered in deer pictures and the wall had several of them mounted. The table in the room had what I assume was a fresh one that hadn’t been mounted. It was just sitting on the table staring at me. We also saw other various skulls and animal trophies.
I am not opposed to hunting, but this freaked me out a little. What freaked me out more was when we went downstairs we saw a very large gun case. I have no idea what type of guns these were because I am not a hunter, but they were big- and the case had a key in it, but was left open. That is a huge safety issue. I was just imagining children viewing this home, or criminals, or crazy people, for that matter.
As we entered one of the bedrooms, the ammo was lined up very neatly all over one of the desks. It was very orderly, but out in plain sight. I found that to be weird.
Needless to say, the clients were not interested. One of them has seen hundreds of homes in her lifetime and she commented that this will be one she will not ever forget.
Inspiration- Perspective From A 12 Year Old
Today my son's hockey team tied a crucial game in a tournament that they needed to win in order to make it to the championship. The coach was mad because he said they lacked inspiration. He gave them an assignment to do and have ready before next practice. The assignment was to write a page about what inspiration means and how you find it.
My son is 12 and he inspires me daily. He has a wall with quotes that he finds inspirational. He went to work on his paper and was finished in ten minutes. I asked to see it and was pretty impressed. Here it is and yes, I asked his permission to post. I thought it could apply to a New Year and New Goals for Many.
Inspiration by Bryce DeFazio January 1, 2012
Inspiration to me is that feeling that helps you to push forward to do what you set your mind to, the feeling that helps you to keep your head up even when things get difficult, the feeling that helps you stick together with the people that are on your side fighting with you no matter what the conditions are. Inspiration helps you to achieve your goals and make your dreams reality.
I get inspired by successful people like really good NHL players, and just people that care about their goals and want to reach them, and once they reach them they set higher ones and achieve those. I have idols and look up to them and listen to what they have to say. I want to be like them and get noticed by others and have them start looking up to me and see me as a leader and idolize me. But I can’t do that without inspiration and hard work.
Here are a few quotes from different people that inspire me.
- Have a purpose with everything you do.
- You miss 100% of the shots that you never take.
- Mediocrity is not good enough.
- Make your own luck.
- Never back down.
- Accept adversity, it’s a good thing.
- Don’t pursue happiness, create it.
- Always over deliver and under promise.
- It’s up to you to prove your worth, that you deserve to be here.
- There are no environments where you are only going to win because life just isn't like that.
- The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
- You are not guaranteed tomorrow.
- The only thing that can hold you back is you.
- There are no shortcuts in life.
- No matter how good you think you are, there is always someone better.
- Whether you think you are going to win or lose, you’re right.
Those are quotes from people that inspire me and motivate me to do what I want in life. The message I get from them is that you only live once so you have to make it count or you don’t deserve it. Life is a gift and inspiration helps you to give back by doing what you want to do. You have to set goals and work towards them or you might as well just give up. Quitters never gain anything, I guess they just need to be inspired and push themselves to be winners.
The main person that inspires me is God. He is with me and all of us and grants us the strength to achieve our goals. We just have to use it.
