Mortgage rates slid down again this week but remain elevated compared to this time last year. Potential homebuyers have been watching rates closely and are waiting to come off the sidelines. However, inventory challenges persist as the number of existing homes for sale remains very low. Though, a re...

Friendly Reminder to get in the game this week and stop waiting for the perfect opportunity, rather make an imperfect opportunity work and take the lessons learned along the way to grow in your space.

Don’t get it twisted - the world doesn’t revolve around any of us.

Money will be made, markets will move, and power will ebb and flow with or without you participating in it’s exchange.

If you aren’t actively participating, you forfeit your legitimate right to learn how the game is currently being played and you will find yourself in a constant state of catching up in identifying what the future of your space looks like.

Those actively in the space will always develop faster because they are getting real time “game” experience getting “full speed” repetitions in the area of expertise.

You can’t theorize and expect to beat those who are doing.

Imperfect Action Beats Perfect Inaction Every time. Get in the Game

You are more capable than you could ever imagine, you are just your greatest obstacle.

None of us go through life without reaching roadblocks.

The most successful of us overcome by methodically overcoming those roadblocks and inculcating lessons learned from the process of overcoming such that we never have to encounter the same roadblock, or can easily identify the symptoms of that roadblock coming before it can ever arrive.

Methodical study of self is key to creating a mental state capable of quickly overcoming obstacles. Developing an iterative learning style as it pertains to conflict resolution (and preemptively - conflict identification) allows you to more efficiently overcome the roadblocks that are congruent to leading a life worth living.

Leveling up your life requires some struggle, because struggle is required for growth. Lean into that growth and you will see your process of development increase exponentially.

Many of us have heard the old adage - “proper preparation prevents poor performance,” but what few recognize, and only a handful have experienced - is that when you continually sharpen your sword and remain ready to take advantage of any and all opportunities in your field, those opportunities always find a way to connecting themselves to you.

Preparing is an active measure - it requires you to align yourself with the right people (in real life, AND through building community via social media), and learning and honing the right skills (Udemy, Khan Academy, and all other sorts of online courses make this easier than EVER before.)

Even when you feel as if you are in lull periods - take time to build toward what is to come next. Read that book, take that course, refuse to skip that workout, make that piece of content. You’ll see that by preparing for your opportunity before it presents itself - you’re more than prepared for the moment that it arrives.

Maximize Efficiency in the things you don’t enjoy, so that you can allocate more time to those things that you do.

Time Freedom is the only Currency that matters nowadays.

Utilize tools, programming, and deliberate planning to make the time consuming tasks of your life, less so.

If you are struggling with being overloaded by menial tasks - I’d be more than happy to help you organize your life to maximize efficiency of the small tasks. When you have more time to be fully and unapologetically you - the world gets a better product out of you, don’t wait for more time to become available because it never will, create that time by improving your processes.✊🏾

Goals Surpassed, Vision Exceeded.

On a day dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of those who have given the most honorable of gifts a service member has to give, I am thankful. Their example guides me daily in my pursuit of excellence, their sacrifice humbles me in my road to becoming a man worth following.
Sadly, this means I get no more free promotions in the Navy, but LT Thompson (or Money Bags Nav as my QM’s call me) has a nice ring to it.

Psalm 133: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

Your community plays a large role in defining your blessings, and plays a even greater role in helping you define your ability to bless. Align your tribe to match God’s purpose for your life and watch your life immediately shift to reflect according to the energy of those you are amongst. There is power in operating within a team - use that power for good!

Majesty - impressive stateliness, dignity, or beauty.
Majesty requires purpose, purpose requires vision, vision requires understanding, understanding requires discernment.

As I sat at the base of this castle, I could not help but imagine whether when this castle was constructed 425 years ago by Terasawa Hirotaka that he’d have been able to fathom, let alone imagine that a black king working on behalf of a nation that only 70 years prior had been at war with his motherland would be visiting this castle and taking inspiration for his own vision of what life was meant to be. This is the beauty and inherent power of Majesty.

In order to truly appreciate the beauty of life, those things that are truly “majestic,” we must have the ability to understand what separates the outstanding from the mundane. To create something amongst ourselves that is of this same quality - it is necessary to transfer the insight of what is true and dignified, align it with our own purpose, and pursue its ex*****on with unmatched veracity.

Find beauty in the journey and strive to leave your own majestic mark upon the Earth - you never know who will find inspiration in your journey and your creations generations later!
