OK!

Problems are problems . . . and they are all around us, right?

Issues never show up at the right time.

Often, the problems you dread the most show up and stop your train.

Why is this?

Some say that what you think expands . . .

Even if you're thinking of something you DON'T want to happen, the sheer nature of the fact that you are giving it that much mental energy draws you towards that thing you don't want.

So maybe the first step to avoiding problems is to stop trying so hard to avoid them . . .

Use all that good energy CREATING - CONSTRUCTING a "healthy" path towards your goals.

This is sometimes easier said than done because the blasted truth is that we're all here together and the more people involved in a project, the higher likelihood that one of the silly humans is going find or create problems.

 . . . and then the whole shebang shifts into a "problem avoidance" mode.

So let's deal with the reality that problems ARE going to show up.

What then?

Do you let the problem derail  you completely and control your very existence until it is solved or you find yourself in isolation because the people around you are tired of hearing your whining?

I have a very low threshold of tolerance for whining and have been quoted: "Quit Whining and go out there and DO something PRODUCTIVE!"

In real estate transactions, there are many opportunities for problems to arise. The size and complexity of any problem is always in direct proportion to the amount of energy the parties to the problem will give it.

Life's too short!

I know a few folks who actually have made a career of creating problems for themselves. These are very intelligent people whose careers are stagnant because they are mired in a never ending flow of problems.

Good builders know not to build a house on a fresh water spring because that will create perpetual water problems in the basement/foundation.

Don't build your life and career on top of a well of problems.

Create

Innovate

Solve

and let those around you know to take their whining elsewhere . . .and move on from the problem.

and mostly just be nice.

I'm just sayin'

Best,

b
