Every day I speak to someone that is in a sales capacity one way or another.  Title Reps, Loan Officers, Appraisers etc...

Sometimes my call gets sent straight to voicemail and at the end of each message the words "Make it a Great Day" are left as their signature.

I'm sure you have all heard this at some point or another in a conversation with someone.  Today, I saw the words sprawled across a note pad from one of our Title Reps and I started thinking (not a first, I promise you).

What exactly does that mean?  We're told to MAKE IT A GREAT DAY.  Does this mean that regardless of what'sgoing on in the world, we have a choice to make daily?

Does this mean that regardless of what's happening in our current global economic state, we should MAKE it a great day?

The obvious answer of course is a resounding YES!

Why?  Because no man is an Island.  Because what we know to be truth is not what is being sent forth to our community's.  Because if we don't, WHO WILL?

I'm not saying to have a Pollyana approach to life, but in EVERY circumstance, as difficult as it may be at that time, DOES have a silver lining.  The question is, are you looking for it?

It's so easy to go along with what everyone else is saying.  Times are tough.  Yes they are difficult. It is no longer the status quo.  HOWEVER, look at how many people are now able to CREATE the perfect job for themselves.  Look at how many people that were priced out of the market are actually able to purchase now.  Look at how much inventory there is and what choices there are for the move up buyer. 

Financing, while back to a traditional model, is still attainable and people are actually able to AFFORD the home of their dreams. 

That to me is enough to MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!
