meditation and exercise ...how important is to your business.

Meditate and pray on it. 

Meditate 100%I recently read a quote in 4000 Weeks, Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman that said: the capacity to do nothing is indispensable, because if you can't bear the discomfort of not acting, you're far more likely to make poor choices with your time, simply to feel as if you're acting.

On the side I facilitate mindfulness meditation groups at halfway houses all around my city and at NA I tell my story in hopes that it can show others who have gone through what I have, that, life is not over and positive things can happen if you stay on the right path and keep on trucking.

I usually only keep it burning during my meditation, which is about 15 minutes.

We met this accountant through our meditation centre when we were in Florida in early 2015.

Meditate on that one for a moment.

Its like a form of meditation, and the amount of work I get done in a short time is remarkable.  

- currently on podcast episode 34, but the question about what to do as a 23 year old recent college grad from the fire round on episode 26 with Chris Clothier practically spoke to me- studying for my Illinois broker's license and hoping to have that next month- holding zero real estate experience besides some administrative/marketing assistance I performed in the tiny college market of Tuscaloosa, AL during my last year at UA; and- working hourly, living with family, and building my credit to eventually take the leap of faith into a real estate career.My goals:- get licensed/educated- network- pay my dues to the real estate gods by finding an agent or investor to work for in the afternoons and on the weekends- sell real estate and flip commissions into passive $- retire at 50 with bigger pockets, a beach parcel, and a good bookA few topics I am interested in learning about:- macro analysis of local markets- how to add value to the acquisition and selling phases of various real estate investing niches- how to win with the purchase-estimating rehab costs- screening tenants and managing managersFavorite (audio)books:- Meditations, by Marcus AureliusNarrated by Duncan Steen- The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest HemingwayNarrated by Donald Sutherland- Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas AdamsI am posting this right before work so I might not respond until 11 or 3

I market my STR as having meditation / organic gardens.
