Interesting to see how dramatically different the inventory levels are across the nation. Really makes it feel like you are in a whole different experience depending on where you live. https://www.housingwire.com/articles/why-the-housing-inventory-map-is-so-startling/

This was great! Thanks to this community! Simon Caron talked about his journey and what it truly means to him! Applause 👏 well deserved! I feel honored to be here!

I was on the top only to fall flat circa 2007. $3.1M gone that fateful day Sept 2008. Followed by family illnesses, 11 of the closest family members, including mom & dad and 3 of my Huskies. What could go wrong did.I consider myself fortunate to have my ex-husband as a best friend and a son that is my focus! Then, there was a recommendation from YouTube during the pandemic 😷! Some guy in a truck named Simon. Well, you might know him 🤷🏻‍♀️ I liked what I heard! FF to today! If you see this guy, let him know I’m forever & always grateful. I’m still reaching for the top but since I currently strive for excellence, there’s no stopping! Thanks for everything! 💁🏻‍♀️💙 Now, onward to Vegas for you, virtually for me! You do You!

Simon talks about how “everything is only about the meaning you give it”, and if you think it through he’s more than just right; it’s shocking how much seeing things this way changes the world you inhabit. I’ll give an example: your (everyone’s) nervous system is an electrical signaling network, and it has only two modes: ‘on’ (signal), or ‘off’ (no signal). So, when you perceive a sensation, how do you determine whether it’s pleasurable or painful? For that qualitative information to be real, you would need more signaling modes to convey affective information. Instead, your brain gives these qualities to the sensations post hoc by subconsciously reasoning about the nature of their sources. Therefore, by choosing a better meaning for a sensation, you can “reframe” (Scott Adams’ term) a negative or painful sensation into a neutral (or even pleasant) one. The ability to do this is a superpower, and I personally have used it to great effect in treating a medical issue which I used to experience as agony, but now hardly notice. Thought I’d share that in case anyone else might be benefited by the knowledge. I highly recommend Adams’ book “Reframe Your Brain”, which is where I got most of this from.
