There is a dimension (not the twilight zone) Where we as humans are elevated beyond our normal selves. Napolian Hill called it “a higher Plane”
I have been there, when your hot your hot, you are also on a higher level of consciousness, or on a higher plane.
You have heard of the guy who picks the car up to free someone trapped, and the woman who runs for help at Olympic record speed. Feats that under normal circumstances would have been impossible.
If someone could remain on that plane of thought for any extended period of time, the things you could do. There are certain things that trigger this higher consciousness. Fear,anger,and love. Love being I believe the strongest.
I took some time off one summer and decided that I wanted to learn how to sell cars.
I got a job at A Ford dealership and along with four other newbees we were trained. I was muddling along not having a very good close, ratio ,I really had Issues with the arrogant,rude,condescending asst. sales manager, to the point where one morning I walked in with the attitude that this wasn’t a Job this was a joke. I had decided the first degrading remark out of the asst. sales managers mouth I was going to knock him into next week, pick up my things and go home. A funny thing happened, Since I completely lost all caring I also lost all nervousness. The first people that came in I went up and talked to them as if I had known them all my life. They bought. The next the same until at the end of the day the asst. manager had all the sales people standing at the windows watching me.” do my majic”He started using me as a training tool for the others. I was on a higher plane of thought.
In Real Estate, The pure satisfaction of knowing you are helping people, along with a pureness of heart, can lift you up into a higher plane. Find someone that you can establish as a kindred spirit, where your mind and theirs work together as one . This is real power.
I was on a social site and received the following quote, and was asked if it inspired me .
This is what lifts us up.
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Plow The Field
When my youngest grandson was just a baby, I bought him his first tractor. Understood that I came from a long line of farmers ,to check profession down my family tree it was a straight limb ,of agriculture. This particular tractor was not just any run of the mill generic type ,Oh no. John Deere of course, with a very unique feature, in that it had a button that when pushed a very authoritative voice (Which I thought sounded like my Dad ) said “plow the field“. When I say it sounded authoritative like my Dad, understand that my Dad was an Air Force Captain in WW11 When my dad said to do something there was no mistake, no question and definitely no hesitation. I didn’t even have to ask how high I already knew the answer.
I guess even at a young age and maybe especially at a young age we need to teach A positive mental attitude.To plow the field meant lets get the job done.
To me, that tractor stood for the fundamental keys to my parents successes ,work ethic, and spirit, handed down from their parents ,and down the line. The guiding force that helped settled the west, Made farms and ranches out of the endless prarie,And kept families together throughout the hard times which were many.
The weak turn back and the faithful plow in. Nothing states the intention of going ahead better than plowing .The initial preparation of the ground for the planting of the seed. Plowing was the initial tillage in the preparation of the seedbed. To plant a crop you had to prepare the seedbed so that it was ready for the seed Any thought of quitting, any thought of turning back, was completely squelched as soon as you plowed the field.
Indecision, and hesitation are stopped cold with the affirmation “Plow the field”
What good advice for anyone who has lost there way “Plow the field”
What do you do when times get rough “Plow the field”
From marriage counseling to how to win a football game. To making it through rough times in Real Estate.Stop everything, put everything in perspective, and start at the beginning with the basics . Lets not sit around lets get busy and“ Plow the field”David Shriver

Class reunion/ Power of laws of attraction
As an econ of American rural American life we go to high School class reunions. It may be a little red neckey but that’s ok with me If the shoe fits don’t put it on E/Bay. Actually I had maintained an aloof attitude all these years as this Big 40 was the first I had attended.
Maybe it was the guilt of missing the tenth as Billy succumbed toHodgenkins before the 15th,Maybe it was a haunting feeling of aloneness going through a divorce for the first and hopefully last time. Or maybe It was just Paul calling me out of the blue, Saying Hey Shrive why don’t we meet out at Stroh’s, stop in at the reunion, and If it gets boring we will split and head over to St Marys look up some old friends ,go to a bar and have some cold ones.
How could you say no to an invitation to guaranteed fun like that . I told him it was a plan I’d be there.
I ended up seeing my arrive time a day early so making my phone calls found out the town fall festival was going on that weekend Called Paul meet you Sat --Ok
I pulled into my Brother in laws around three --My Sister in law whirls out of the house --nice to see ya, the 566 is over there by the barn ---Run it over and pick up the full hay wagon in the field. Dennys bailing seeYa Bye.
I (having just finished showering shaving and making preparations for some serious having a good time attitude)went obediently over to a pretty rough looking Farmall Tractor figured out how to start it and where the gears were and headed over to the hay field to pick up Hay wagons.
I got over thereto the hay field, visited with Denny for just a little, hooked up the wagon and headed back over toward the barn. I caught A glimpse of Paul in the drive way, Beer in hand holding down the fort.
I Brought the wagon over to the barn (surprised my self and backed it first time right next to the elevator That they use to get the bails up into the barn)Talked with Paul for a brief Hello gotta go ( I had not seen him for at least thirty years) Jumped on the tractor and retrieved the last hay wagon from the field .Parked it and the tractor next to the barn And settled down on Paul’s pickup’s, tailgate; much deserving beer in hand.
The plan ---Fall festival party at the park, One of our friends Scott was playing in the band ,Pick up more beer head for the park. What a deal! I always could come up with some great plans.
The band was playing Really good early southern rock, a little Segar, really good music, I was walking around seeing old friends and playing guess who this is, really having a good time, Standing ther talking to Titus and his wife,When a pretty girl comes up to me and says I bet you don’t remember me. I said I bet I do ,As I had Dated her older sister right before I left for Viet Nam U.S.M.C.( If there was any doubt.)So I say you are Janie what’s you’re Sister doing ? She says well she is divorced and living in Tampa ,I said no way!.
I’m gonna have to get her number from you I say. But she was too Quick for me, as she dialed the number on her cell phone and then handed it to me. I said hello, she said who is this ? I said Dave Shriver, She told me later that she almost feinted. So we talked and I called her again, and again and again . She is picking me up in Tampa as soon as I can get down there ,taking a few days off work, and we are going to get reacquainted. Her Name Is Gail, Its funny I never did meet Samantha, Some things are just made, or not made to be. An awful lot of coincidences, or was it just the laws of attraction at work moving the world to put things in proper alignment for my happiness.

Home Based Business
When I was growing up ,my Dad was always looking for the perfect home business. The first enterprise he became involved with was a peanut,,cashew, and m&m route.My Dad had bought the machines, and set out placing them in gas stations, beauty shops, any where people would have time on their hands .Some locations did well some poorly ,and he would move them ,and some would be habitually broken in to .I remember sacks of nickels and lots and lots of stale peanuts and cashews. My mom actually came up with a pecan type pie made out of stale cashews that tasted pretty good. After a while my Dad found a buyer for his route and moved on to something else . I remember a garage full of soap cleaning supplies and misc. I guess my Dad sold some but I know forty years later I still have some concentrate on the shelf in my garage.(Us kids were use to getting at least a case every Christmas.)On to the wood stove made by the same family who developed the Gatling gun one hundred years ago .Long time between Ideas I guess. Finishing out with a little trampoline, that the sales pitch stated,” exercised every muscle in your body with out stress to the bone structure.” My Dad explained to me that I could train for cross country by instead of running just bouncing on my toes on the trampoline. I didn’t buy that. Because every thing that I knew at that point involving conditioning ,and endurance training said that presumption was false. Who knows I could have been an Olympic champion ,but I doubt it.
All these years later I find myself working a home based business. This one doe’s not involve filling and emptying nut machines, warehousing cleaning supplies or bouncing in someone’s living room. What I am involved with makes sense. An Internet business selling soft ware that teaches and promotes Internet marketing This works whether you want to develop yourself to become an aspiring eBay marketing King, or an Internet Real Estate Marketing Professional. You actually use the products you are selling and no warehousing no shipping,(Buyers simply download) And the best Two fold things ,One the most aggressive and consistent training program I have ever seen and two (one Hundred percent Commission)You can even listen in on the training free To give yourself an Idea of whether It is down your alley or not. I have all the links on my main blog page

STAY AT HOME MOM
When I was growing up I had a stay at home mom. Of course, my moms Idea of Home business was keeping the household finances in order. We always had a huge garden with sweet corn, tomatoes, green beans and about, about any other vegetable you could think of. We had a pretty big patch of strawberrys,and two rows of raspberries. My mom and my aunt canned all we didn’t eat, and also froze a lot of fruits. My dad would buy a five gallon can of Michigan cherries every year and my mom would freeze and can them. We also had a chicken house, which provided fresh eggs every day and chicken dinners on Sunday. My mom sewed most of my two sisters clothes, made them dresses and skirts and blouses, and taught each of them to sew. My mom even found time to volunteer as a 4h club leader where she taught other girls to cook and sew. Sometimes the ways of the past are better, we had a loving nurturing childhood and my mom was always there for me.
In today’s world Because of the financial pressure most moms are forced to seek employment outside the home. Single mothers have an even rougher, row to hoe, as they have to try to balance time at work, to provide for their children, and time with the children, to teach and nurture. Daycare and after school programs can eat up a large percentage of the pay check. Although huge gains have been made ,the pay equality of women still is not usually on par with wages of a man. Some opportunities have been made aware to me, in the field of internet marketing. For a very small investment, a mom can have her own home business which pays 100% commissions,and allow her to do for and care for her children as she wants too. A mom can really be a stay at home with her own career. If you would like to have more information on stepping up and being free, go to http://fortune.davidshriver.net

Corn,Beans,and the Housing Market
When I living on the farm one of the perilous aspects of the profession was, The whipsaw fluctuation of crop prices. Crop prices fluctuated with the weather for sure, but just as much maybe more by the crop forcasters.Every time a crop forecaster would make an announcement---“This years corn crop expected to be a record breaker, The soy bean planting are up 15% so expecting larger than normal harvest.” Announcements like these of course drove the prices down and by the time harvest time came around, It mattered little if the forecasts were nothing than a smell in the wind, as” harvest conditions effect crop” so the forecaster is always right he just changes his story. I know these things although detrimental to the farmer, make wall street people, a lot of money on the futures market .Good or bad that’s one of the reasons young people are not staying in agriculture, which in my way of thinking is a shame. Anyway the reason I point all this out is.
I guess I want some one to tell me Who started the housing market challenge we are now experiencing? Is there someone who took a booming economy, low unemployment, controlled inflation, and a very friendly lending atmosphere, and turned it into a housing slump? I realize oil prices, cut consumer spending, But is that the end-all answer? When is someone going to say” Look, we have an ever growing population, Baby boomers reaching retirement age, and the lowest interest rates in years! OOOPS-----So anybody have a handle on where this whole thing started? leave me a comment---Thanks David Shriver http://flippin.davidshriver.net

TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS
Your conscious is only between about 10% of your mind, the rest of it is what is known as your subconscious. I know that would not surprise my teachers I had in school, I think there would probably be some debate of whether I used my entire 10%of my conscious mind at any time during my schooling years..
Your subconscious is the most powerful thing you own, and the most dangerous one. When you hear of people having anxiety attacks this is totally the subconscious mind taking complete control. Throwing an individual into a complete panic for no reason apparent, to anyone ,but that persons subconscious mind.
If you know how to make it work properly, it will do things for you and help you achieve your goals and dreams. The laws of attraction.
If you do not work it properly, it will fight against you on any thing you want to achieve - including being happy. You also will be using the laws of attraction ,but instead of attracting the goodness into your life ,you will be attracting the bad.
Your subconscious has no personal preference for what is happening on the "outside" it only cares how you are dealing with things .(problems,obstacles,challenges).
If you are dealing with them incorrectly, your mind will "quit" on you, and you will lead a miserable life where everything is a struggle and there is little or no hope at all. Where every problem has no answer, all obstacles are insurmountable, and you end up turning from every challenge.
The subconscious mind can be programmed (basically the secret)By dwelling on the good,----seeing the beauty,----and expecting good .We attract ,what our subconscious mind see‘s.. laws of attraction.
