Celebrate Hope

-


It has been said that your attitude not your aptitude will determine your altitude.
Though I fundamentally could not agree more...
Try using that phrase as inspiring motivation for someone wreathing in pain and sorrow.
The point is that knowing something is logical and true does not always mean you are able to embrace it and bring it to fruition on your own. 
Not right then and there anyway.

That is not a practice way to pick ourselves back up when we have been brought to our knees by life.
No...
Getting back up is much more difficult than that. 
Thank goodness "difficult" is not impossible.


Like many other emotions, hope feeds on itself in order to grow. 
To truly take root and help us renew our outlook. 
Through each effort filled movement we make...
With every positive thought...
Hope will grow.
The hardest truth to accept when we are feeling a complete loss of hope is that hope starts as nothing more than a seed.
And that by understanding that regardless of how you may deny it....
The seed that is hope remains inside us even our darkest moments.

All you need is a light source.
Some little thing to begin nurturing the ever present seeds of hope back into the full grown powerhouse you need to sustain your motivation to push.
It can be a person.
It can be anything.

The point is not finding it in its most powerful form.
That is not even realistic.
Instead, look for the small shimmering light around you and gravitate your whole self toward it.
Hold on to those people and ideals as if your life depends on it.
And in truth...
Our lives do depend on hope.
The second most satisfying feeling is to regain hope after you thought it was lost.
The first most satisfying feeling is the opportunity to pay forward some light when you find your way again...
To reach back and be part of the source for someone else. 
A true celebration of hope is to both experience it after it has been lost... and to give someone else.


Dedicated to I.A.S .

It Takes Two to Tango

-
Getting your clients on the same page can be a challenge. It can be similar to teaching a couple how to dance. You can have the best music in the world. Provide the best stage. Showcase the dance floor with beautiful mood lighting. But if the two dancers refuse to tango together… There will be no dance. To have a Tango dance there have to be two partners dancing in sync with each other. Can you picture a Tango where the two partners both try and lead? Or worse, where no one leads? That is what it feels like where you have clients who are not on the same page for what is important when buying a home together. They often will look at you their agent and say the reason they cant make it to the “grand finally” is because of your failure at instruction. You should know better than to believe that . You cannot force a couple dance together. Similarly, you cannot complete a transaction with o...

Follow Your Gut: The real reason why you can trust a "gut feeling"

-
    “A gut feeling is instinctual.” It is either good or bad. That is often as deep as the explanation goes. We are going to go further so you can trust yourself even more… When you feel something in the pit of your stomach that is your bodies reaction to a stimuli that reminds you of everything you have come to know thus far in your life. All in a fraction of a second…whew! Everything that has ever happened to you has been stored in the Cortical Networks of your brain. And your brain sends a message to your stomach. The head makes decisions about a situation, and prompts you to pay attention. But the head is smart (redundant I know) The head is so smart it knows that it will out think itself I it doesn’t enlist help from the part of you incapable of doubt… And with your best interest in mind, the brain sends a command out. To your gut. By sending the memory related information to your stomach. Figuratively conceptualized as ...

To Grow Or To Stay

The Dilemma  If you work hard and make the sacrifices others are either unwilling or unable to make... One day you will find yourself having to make an uncomfortable choice as a contractor. You will eventually reach a crossroads where you have to decide if what you are doing now is the most you will do. The main constraint at this juncture is that you are at the mercy of physics like the rest of us. You can only be physically present in a certain number of places in one day before it becomes very obvious you have maxed out your time. Something big is happening here that many people do not think about. Most people think that if they chose to grow they are putting a lot on the line. Sacrificing family time or temporary income to train people to help you grow but that isn't what will change. If you are at this juncture you have the juggling thing down. The fact you have a decision to make rather than one that way decided by a lack of business proves my point. No, something more is goi...
