Back in Florida, yesterday I had to work on a lot of chores making up for the time spent last week in Atlanta. Real estate investing is composed of many tasks and actions that aren’t necessarily exciting but are very needed in order to keep the ball rolling. Yet I returned very motivated from event in Georgia so I decided that from now on every day is going to be a special day, no matter the circumstances and so my wish became true.
Meet Pete and his master. A very cute parrot who likes to show off.
This is the type of encounters that would never happen in Italy or Europe for that matter: wild life and animals are everywhere in Florida and it feels totally different to live here than anywhere else. But the lesson here is that you can always meet extraordinary people in your life even if you are just going to ordinary places. You just need to keep your eyes open and be ready to welcome them as they appear.

I had gone to a self storage facility in order to get a bigger space for storing some of the materials we use for staging houses when we sell them and I met Pete, a very beautiful parrot, with his master who enjoys greatly going around with a big bird constantly on his shoulder.
My kids were with with me and the had a very good time seeing this kind of piratesque character. I had just finished telling the clerk at the office in the self storage facility that living in the USA was quite different than living in Italy, and here it comes a parrot through the door.
Life is made of people and when you decide to live it fully you will always encounter someone who can change it or at least make it better. I personally don’t believe things happen by “accident” but they do happen suddenly at times and you must “be there” when they do. “Being there” includes also paying attention and being ready to capture new ideas, connections, opportunities.
