PODCAST EP 034 - PRESENCE & Completing Your Custom Home

Apr 14

Presence

I remember my first boss, Bob Miller, who was my mentor when starting at 18. I worked for him for 11 years, and he taught me a valuable lesson about showing up. I wore a whole business "get up" for most of the years. Regardless of the situation, my boss emphasized the significance of showing up, being professional, and following through. I find that "Showing Up" is a crucial lesson that applies to any aspect of our lives. We can only achieve what we show up for, and if we perceive building a custom home as far off, our attitude and actions towards it will reflect that distance.

If you aspire to build a custom home, your focus will be taking steps toward that goal. On the other hand, if your current plan is to acquire enough funds, actively earning money is your current path toward creating that custom home. When you invest your attention in this process, you're no longer in a dream or a mental state but rather in the present reality of the process. Bringing this aspect of existence into the current reality is entirely up to you and your choice.

Here are key things to listen out for:

● Being present with your custom home process

● The importance of being present in life

Notable Quotes

● Wherever I'm at, I love my wife; that's my goal of what I want to do. I want to exude my presence in this world as a loving entity toward her, and first, I want to do that by loving myself.

● You may compare yourself to others who have more resources or connections. Still, everyone can work towards their dream of a custom home.

● When working through the design, go for your ultimate goal for your space, and then if you need to take a step back from what you can currently do, do that.

● When you search for a property, make an offer, and open a bank account to save for the down payment, you are opening yourself up to the possibility of these things happening in the present. This process is essential to achieving your dream of owning a house.

● As you educate yourself, encounter setbacks, and invest time in the custom home-building process with your loved ones or family, remember that the journey is worth it. Whether you're working on the project by yourself or with others, the experience of creating a personalized home is invaluable.
