My hope is to encourage anyone and everyone that reads this to DREAM BIG and then LIVE YOUR DREAMS!
What will you do with your future? You really only have two choices...
You can choose to just survive, or you can choose to succeed. Know this though, if you do choose to succeed, and you decide to prosper, and commit to focused and clearly defined goals, then anything is and will be possible because YOU were born to succeed! Your very BEST can still be in front of you.
YOUR future is in YOUR hands. Inside you is untapped potential. You have unlimited value and your dreams can definitely come true but ONLY if you believe they can. You are unique and very special which NOBODY can ever take away. You can achieve whatever you put your mind to so choose to enlarge your vision.
Retrain your brain, increase your confidence, attract the GOOD around you, and seize the profitable opportunities in and around your path. Step forward daily and positively engage relationships. Unleash your maximum wealth and don't forget to "DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT!"
Prepare for your success and believe in yourself.
Plan before you do anything. Ask questions and question everything. Avoid the negative and move outside of your comfort zone. Let go of the past and remember, NEVER GIVE UP!!
Share this with anyone you know that might need a bit of encouragement and inspiration in these challenging times. It might make a difference in their day . . . and maybe, just maybe . . . their entire year!
I wish the VERY BEST to you all in 2012~
Life is always a series of choices. We can choose to succeed but it does require work.
Yes, I agree, 2012 is the year to dream it and live it.
It also helps to make a "Vision Board" for yourself. I took a large piece of heavy paper and then cut out pictures of all of the things I've been dreaming about doing, goals I want to achieve, sort of my "bucket list", and things I want (new car, house, etc.) and pasted them onto the heavy paper. I keep it handy where I can see it every day. One of my friends even scans hers into her computer and uses it for her wallpaper. That way you will be reminded of what it is you are trying to accomplish and you will begin to "see yourself" through to achieving your goals.
For me, this is more motivational than a traditional business plan...
Nice post! Thanks for mentioning it!!!
I seen a couple of posts on this same subject lately. I think the New Year and a new beginning makes us all think about making 2012 a better year and leaving our baggage behind as we move ahead in life. Thanks for your post on this subject.
Brad....THANKS for the positve push! Just finished setting my goals for 2012 last night and it WILL be a GREAT year!!! All the very BEST to you!
Hey Brad, thanks for this post! It's always good to hear a strong positive perspective reminding us of the choices we make and the consequences. Best of success to you sir!
Brad, I agree, it is all about choosing, and sticking with it. @ Patti, when I was at Keller Williams we made vision boards. Maybe it's time to make a new one. Thank you for the inspiration. Happy New Year and much success to you in 2012 ! P.S. Like your picture in front of the Golden Gate.
Brad, a good push & i was thinking personally what i wanted for this year..i know professionally for sure but it tends to stifle the other...Have a great 2013...super pic!
Brad:
Thanks for the words of encouragement, love the photo of the Golden Gate, I could not agree more that each & everyone of us is responsible for our daily choices, having a positive attitude is one of the most, important ingredient that one can have when dreaming, believing, and achieving. May success, good health, and prosperity beat a path to your door.
Believe, plan, and implement .. and you will achieve. Very nice inspiration message as we conclude 2011 and move into 2012!
Intention is the point of beginning for everything to fall into place. Most people don't write down their goals so they never achieve their dreams. We choose success and we choose failure. Thanks Brad. Happy Propserous New Year to you. This topic is so important I am suggesting it be featured.
Brad. Many of us will begin the year with a Blast, but not all will be able to finish strong, since some Give Up on their Dreams to early. Thanks for the inspiration this morning. I want to focus on that bull dog mentality. Never, Never, Give Up!
Brad, your inspirational message is well founded in the science of self-improvement. Having clear, discernable goals that are written down is crucial to keep you on track when there is no track to be found. Best to you and yours in the new year.
Thanks for the inspiration and all the best to you and your family in 2012.
Ya gotta have a dream.
Every successful person I know has a big "WHY."
I would never do the things I do if I were still single and childless. That is my inspiration.
Lovely photo of the two of you. I love your attitude, always have enjoyed reading your positive posts. This post is the best. It's a winner and I plan on sharing it with many. Thank you and Happy New Years!
Let me ramble on just one last time for the year....
I really wanted this last post of 2011 to express a positive and meaningful outlook on the year(s) to come. There are so many suffering, losing jobs, homes, spouses, and even their lives. I am border-line obsessed/addicted to helping others, it is the one thing in life that brings me the most joy next to being with my beautiful family.
I have always loved and been very passionate about real estate and technology, but also believe that if you removed every bit of technology from the planet, life would still go on because it's all about people and relationships. That's what really matters the most.
2011 has many great memories which I will nurture and some not so great memories which I will learn from. 2012 is going to be whatever you and I want it to be. It is ours for the taking. The events and memories are ours to create and unfold. To have the VERY BEST YEAR EVER means we will all need to focus on a bigger picture, bigger than ourselves, bigger than our dreams, bigger than life.... and yes, WE CAN DO THIS!
Wishing each and everyone of you a very special, memorable, and most AWESOME NEW YEAR, and may whatever higher power you believe in provide you the strength and knowledge needed to be the BEST and ALL YOU CAN BE in 2012 and beyond.
In closing, always continue on the path of growth and enlightenment, make a difference in this world, DO SOMETHING AMAZING, Live, Laugh, Love, and most of all, ENJOY THE JOURNEY! Until 2012, ActiveBrad signing off... God Bless~
Brad

Brad, I so love this post... DREAM BIG and then LIVE YOUR DREAMS is so right on. People are often afraid to stretch and reach, maybe the fear of failure .... but Dreaming Big and reaching out and grabbing those dreams are so crucial.
As I scroll down all these comments today, (the last day of 2011) and see all your smiling faces, it simply reminds me of why I keep coming back to ActiveRain to blog, to share, to learn, to grow, and to aspire to be more and better each and everyday. It's because of people just like YOU that I have found personal reward and fulfillment on this site.
It is all of YOU who make this site so engaging, so fun, and such a positive place to be. Thank you for giving of the most valuable commodity and gifts ever known to mankind... your love, support, and most of all, your precious time! :-)))
Happy New Year To All~

You 'da Man, Brad! Great to see you again in 2011. Hope you find more good coffee in 2012!
ps - love the photo too! Been to long since I've been to the Bay; gotta keep checking the Alaska Airlines specials!
Very motivitional post and I agree with the philosphy. I believe that we all get only so many "chances" in life and we have either prepared ourselves to take advantage for when they occur or they opportunity is lost.
It's March now and I am just stumbling across this. My first thought was - this was wrote for me...... Great to reblog... thank you......
Marilyn - it WAS wrote for you!!! :-)
