In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends… A quote of John Churton Yes, everyone wants to be your friend when you're on top of the world however the world can be a lonely place when you have issues. I try to reach out to those who are not the life of the party and make sure that they know they are still important to me…
My day started with an email from a service member in Korea. He was looking for a real estate agent and he was just two miles from the DMZ separating North and South Korea. He found me through my blog on ActiveRain. We are now in the pre approval and home search phase of our relationship. I then prepared for my 11:30 listing appointment.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is and life to celebrate... A quote of Oprah Winfrey I have learned through many things in my life; some good, some bad. Each challenge has made me stronger and every pleasant moment has put a smile on my face. We just have to learn that for every unpleasant circumstance there's a pleasant moment waiting to be discovered...
Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people... A quote of Barbara Bush Now there's a lesson that we were taught as small children. Some call it the golden rule, others just the way it should be. We spend so much time to analyzing clients, when in fact we should take it upon ourselves to be positive and to treat others with respect. If we do this, we will already have cleared a major obstacle to reaching our goals...

Without hope, people are only half alive. With hope they dream and think and work… A quote of Charles Sawyer In today's society, many have lost hope and that is truly sad. What happened to the dreamers? The people who thought the sky was the limit. I for one have not forgotten how to dream however I've also not forgotten how to work towards a dream. In our industry oftentimes we help people accomplish their dreams. That is why each day I start with a positive attitude and a smile on my face… This post was authored and picture was taken by Paul (9 comments)
The highest point of achievement yesterday is the starting point of today… The motto of the Paulist Father's
I love this motto for it just gives me hope that each day we can start at a higher level and don't have to resort to climbing the same challenges that we did the day before. I also feel very positive when I read this motto. Try living this way for a week and see what difference this attitude brings to your life... The Paulist Fathers were the first religious community of priests created in North America.
Do a little more than you're paid to. Give a little more than you have to. Try a little harder than you want to. Aim a little higher than you think possible, and give a lot of thanks to god for health, family and friends… A quote of Art Linkletter
Skill to do comes of doing... A quote Ralph Waldo Emerson I have always been a hands on type of person. If all it took for us to fly a plane was to read a book, we would have no cars. I can read a dozen books on the subject but until I actually do it myself I just can't make it work right. Sure we all make mistakes however the more you do something the fewer the mistakes and the more gratification. Go out and do something new today, don't be afraid to make a mistake and learn (4 comments)
Golf is a game in which you yell “fore,” shoot six, and write down five. An Anonymous quote Have you ever played a game that challenges you from start to finish? Where even when you have a rotten day you can't wait till the next outing? They call it golf but I have heard many adjectives added for color...
To finish first you must first finish... A quote of Rick Mears Have you ever heard someone spout incredible plans and what they are going to do with all their profits. Often times these people don't follow through or they lose interest before finishing. I have heard of incredible success from those that set goals, plan to succeed, and follow through to the end. My goal is to be there for the follow through...
If you feel happy, tell your face! A quote of Steve Potter I am one of those people who has a positive attitude and tries to be happy, my face never shows it. The only one who can really draw out a smile is my dog Kiana...
