There are a lot of times when I hear other people who are working outside of our industry talk about how hard times are for themselves and for their families right now. As I'm sure you are well aware many people all across the great expanse of the United States are in trouble financially. A lot of people from all walks of life, and all types of backgrounds are suffering because of the state of our local and national economy.
I've seen first hand accounts personally as I've completed countless BPO's. I've felt it as I spoke to a neighbor who was crying because her family is facing foreclosure. I've watched it happen to regular people and astonishingly I've even learned that it has personally affected numerous local real estate professionals. I'd feel sad as I'd see their name noted within the MLS listing information as they try to sell their home before the ground falls out beneath their feet.
For me I have learned so much from these experiences and from being on the other side of the fence as a BPO and REO Agent.
Although, I try to extend my heartfelt sympathy and a bit of optimism to those that are facing a hard situation, I can't help but feel as if I am so thankful to be able to be where I'm at in my life right now and in my career.
I guess that I wanted to vent a little bit about this, because I have encountered this feeling a lot in the last few months.
Even though so much in life depends on being in the 'right place at the right time.' I feel that it is more important to be able to stop from time to time and pay attention to what is happening around you.
Whether things are happening around you that you can or cannot control directly, if you are willing to, you can gain an amazing amount of appreciation for all that you value and hold dear in your life....
I've a lot to be thankful for.....do you?
