Hope that provides some insight and food for thought. . . . . 

Real estate gives me the feeling that I am in control of my own destiny, and I don't have to rely on others to bring food to my table.When I feel discouraged:I reread Rich Dad Poor Dad and read success stories here on BP.Please share your own "why's" and what you do to stay motivated!
