Don’t just sit on what you’ve got. Stand up, double down, and go build something insanely great. Love that quote!!! Yes who hasn't had a 'would've, could've, should've' in their life?? It's not a good rabbit hole to go down, but people do it that's for sure. To your point, its important to remember that if chosen a different path or did something different, your life would be different somehow - but what is that somehow? Who knows? Anyway, always a joy to read. The 7 things..makes me feel more in the loop of life as many things you post in that section, I didn't know.
I also love that last paragraph from today. It’s not just about finances, it’s an attitude to be applied in life, IMO, with all the skills and resources you possess. Thank you!
I've got Think DIfferent pictures all over my office. I only ever wanted to create things that were insanely great (I worked for Apple in the 1980s.) The insanely great attitude stayed with me after leaving Apple. I've don't have a Google or a Microsoft to show for it - but I think everything we did made the world a better place. I count my blessings - one of which is not being too $$ rich -- and one of which is having a great, healthy family and friends. One of my favorite party anecdotes is "Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and I were born in 1955. I'm the only one who graduated. What's wrong with that picture?" Haha!
It’s the school of “What ifs and If onlys” that will get you into trouble too. Life doesn’t usually work that way. I should know. I got that diploma from that school many years ago.
I'm currently figuring out my next move. We started investing in real estate in 2011 and sold most of our holdings last year - well, except for one. Sticking to renovation plans was never our strong suit.
That said, we did incredibly well on those sales (especially for the Midwest). Looking back, we should have bought (financed) every property we considered. In hindsight, based on today's prices, every deal I walked away from would have worked.
Love it. Keep it up. Raccoon analogy right there. Don't dream the dream you want to live. Make it a reality and bend it unto your will, till it comes true. You can do it, never doubt yourself.

That is(not graduating)something to think about. It’s the ever inquiring mind that makes the difference I think.

Oh the empire I could have had!
