I'm generally considered to be the guy that people come to for a fill up on motivation. I strive to see the bright side in the worst news, and concentrate on it. Some people even accuse me of "putting a spin" on reality, which, as an O'Reilly fan, I find offensive. I have been known to make the stats work in my favor though.
Negativity is abundant in society today. It's easy to find, and easier still to succumb to. I choose to fight against it by looking for the positive things, and building a life preserver out of them. The waves of chaos and uncertainty are mammoths, and I'll do anything I must to stay afloat.
I had no less than three people today tell me I must be crazy to be in real estate right now. This is not a new occurrence, but one I grow weary of nonetheless. I guess every time the sea gets rough, I'm supposed to find another beach? I LOVE real estate, and I enjoy a challenge. I paddle out and attack the monolithic waves every chance I get. Why would I bail out now?
All that being said, I reached a point today when even I was beginning to wonder if I can keep going. A series of events occurred today that made the waters a bit more than choppy, and I felt the currents of despair beginning to suck me under. Was all the effort worth it?
I took a deep breath, told myself to suck it up, and pushed on. I'm still trying to shake the lingering gloominess that I narrowly avoided today. By tomorrow I am sure I will be my usual self assured, confident (ok, fine: cocky!) self, and everything will be fine, because I will MAKE it be fine. So while my tank may be a little low today, I can always fill back up. A good night's sleep oughtta do the trick!
Worst case scenario, I go back to Cally and become a full time surfer! Radical...
