Getting to Know Myself
Practicing real estate on Coronado Island since 1998, I often feel no matter how hard I try, I am just not good enough. Lose a listing to our competitor, or we didn't get the (overpriced) listing sold, seller e refused to adjust the price. As soon as listing term expires, re-listed with another brokerage after all the marketing dollars $$$ we spent and many Sunday afternoons at their property...
The list goes on... and the journey is endless. However, the other day I came across something, it just clicked with me. I read it to myself daily (at least that's my goal).
Getting to know myself is my most rewarding and powerful adventure. It is a day-to-day task, it does not happen once and for all because I evolve. Today I will try to get out of my own way and allow the deeper pulse of life and love and spiritual energy to flow through me. I often attempt to rid my personality of what I perceive to be undesirable aspects, to get them out of me once and for all. I wanted to change myself to please clients and to accommodate the business aspect of my life. But today I wonder if rather than get rid of parts of myself, perhaps I need to learn to work with these troublesome areas and reintegrate them in a new way.
It need not be my goal today to get rid of pieces of myself I dislike, but instead to work with them and transform them into something better through attention, care, self-honesty and self-forgiveness. I am loving and forgiving towards others, why not carry a more loving and caring attitude toward myself?
Why not? I am good enough. Really.
