Have you found yourself in a situation that you never expected you would be in and you are stressed out of your mind? You may feel your whole world is crashing in on you and that you have lost everything. You are just plain tired. Do not panic and don’t quit! You are still here in your right mind. Everything else is a bonus.

You may have been in this place before where you have wondered, "How can I get through this?" You could not see it, but somehow you made it. And you will again. Stop ~ take a deep breath! Calm yourself and encourage yourself. Keep in mind, who you had to be and what you had to do in the past to overcome what appeared to be insurmountable odds. You still have that power that makes you a winner. Keep your head up. Come out swinging. Know in your heart of hearts…it’s not over until you win! Because, you have something special! You have GREATNESS within you!!

You do not have to wait for wisdom to befall you in order to know what move to make now. The wisdom, the insight, the answer you have been waiting for is waiting for you. It is already inside of you. In fact, you may have already "heard" it and not believed it. If you want to be clear about this answer, simply write your question, condition, or problem down on a piece of paper tonight, then pick up the paper tomorrow morning and compose a calm, wisdom-filled response. Don't be surprised if you surprise yourself with the answer you receive.

It is never too late to change your mind. As soon as you realize the need to make another choice, admit it to yourself, and then do it. —Iyanla Vanzant

What Warren Buffett’s House Can Teach You About Success

http://www.fool.com/investing/gener...se-can-teach-you-about-suc.aspx#ixzz3Gq41FZRn



Warren Buffett's house is the object of endless fascination when people learn about him -- and for good reason. Buffett is one of the richest people in the world; therefore, it's always surprising to learn that he's lived in the same house for most of his adult life.

Looking more closely, Warren Buffett's house can teach you a lot about success and what's important in life.

Warren Buffett bought his house in Omaha, Nebraska in 1958 for $31,500. The house is stucco, and has five bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Warren Buffett has called his house "the third best investment" he ever made, behind only wedding rings.

In reverse order, here are the biggest lessons we can learn about success from Warren Buffett's house.

What does Warren Buffet's house tell you about how much he's worth? Nothing.

Most people's idea of wealth isn't someone who has a million dollars in the bank; it's of someone spending a million dollars. Too often, people confuse the trappings of wealth with actual wealth.

Warren Buffett is now worth an estimated $68 billion. You can't tell how much someone is worth from his or her house or car. Wealth is about what you don't see.

Warren Buffett's house is the same house he originally bought; but it was not a financial investment in the sense that Warren's goal wasn't appreciation in value. Warren bought a house he could afford, and has called it one of his best investments because, "My family and I gained 52 years of terrific memories with more to come."

Warren didn't lose sight of the idea that a home is for living in rather than for speculation on housing prices. When you mix the two, bad things can happen.
Possessions Don't Bring Happiness

One thing you may notice about Warren Buffett's house is that there is only one. As Warren Buffett wrote in his Giving Pledge:

Some material things make my life more enjoyable; many, however, would not. I like having an expensive private plane, but owning a half-dozen homes would be a burden.

Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends.


"All things considered, the third best investment I ever made was the purchase of my home, though I would have made far more money had I instead rented and used the purchase money to buy stocks," says Buffett.

Success Has Nothing To Do With The House You Live In

There are many definitions of success, but the size of your house has nothing to do with it. While life will have its ups and downs, continuous learning, thinking for yourself, developing good habits, focusing on the long term, and having fun on the journey, is what you need to set yourself up for success in life. It's as simple as that.
