The Back of Winter Is Broken - The Great Recession is OVER!

By
Industry Observer

Popular news sources are reporting that the recession is over.  

HOORAY !!!Bar Chart Rising

Many bloggers here and elsewhere are waxing dubious about this.  They note that jobs and credit are still both in short supply and predicted to get worse before they get better.  

IF THAT IS YOU THEN...

KNOCK IT OFF!!!

Don't you know you create what you believe?  

We all function better if we drag around an aura of hope instead of a cloud of gloom!

BOTTOM LINE?  It's just like the changing of the seasons on the calendar.  There may still be a few cold days left, after the back of winter is broken, but that very day, each winter, when you know the worst is over... it gives hope of the spring season to come... At least for me.  Likewise, there is a sadness after the longest day of the year, knowing that winter is coming and ever day will take us closer to it.   

So let them report the end of the recession.  Even if there will still be some lingering snowfall in the form of employment reports and such.  A Real Estate Market Recovery is Coming.  

I FOCUS on the TRUTH that the back of the Great Recession IS broken.  And that gives me hope.

A positive attitude goes a long way. I try to stay in a great frame of mind.

I'm with you on this Lonn.  I keep trying to convince my potential buyers of this.

Lonn,

While I agree that optimism is important, it can also be blinding.  Without a healthy dose of reality you're merely dreaming.  It was blind optimism that real estate prices never come down that hurt so many of the speculators and has now buried many homeowners who were merely trying to get in while it was still "affordable."

Lonn, There is always business going on.  If clients have a choice between going business with a person that is upbeat or someone that is negative... While we can't control EVERYTHING we can control our attitude.  I believe having a positive attitude is like carrying your own weather system.  Smells like RAIN,LOL! Thanks Lonn
