Hello everyone! I have not been able to write so many posts this week, but it will most likely turn out for the best. I have three deals in escrow. Each of them have gone through the wringer this week, going to close, then falling through, then NOT falling through. Back and forth, I have been on my toes all week. But let me expand that thought a bit.
When the first transaction went haywire, I wanted to come in here, and blog about it. I sat down to write, and nothing came. BLANK! When the second one went the same direction, I cried. I cried my eyes out like a baby. I wanted to come here and moan and groan. I wanted to tell you all about what a horrible day I was having. Only I was out of town, without a computer. So when number three joined the rest of the deals, I knew that I was going to quit real estate. I have worked 7 months in the business working REALLY hard at this career, to have three deals fall through! I was finally going to receive compensation for my hard work, and it was going out the window? I didn't know what to do. I wanted to cry. But I was past that point; I was numb. Too past the unbelief to even write about it. I came to the computer, just to make a few comments, and then walk away. I couldn't do it, write about my failures? It just hurt too much.
But then I came to a realization before the end of the week. Notice how many times the word "I" was in that paragraph? Those deals were falling through, and it was all about "ME" What about my clients? What were they going to do, if I gave up and died? Not only that, what would I be doing instead of Real Estate? Even with the heartache, there has never been a job that I have done that I felt so satisfied when something went right. So, I picked my self up, dusted myself off, and decided that I would work every angle. But if the answer would still be NO, I would let it go. I would let it go, and be at peace.
I don't know if everything will go through with these deals, I won't for a few more weeks. Until the papers are signed, nothing is for sure. But at least now I can walk away knowing that I did all that I could do, and I didn't sit back, and do nothing. I didn't feel sorry for myself. I worked and I tried, and I can be proud of my accomplishment in that, even if that is the only compensation I receive.
