None Of Us Is Immune From The Sting of Life’s Challenges

By

Facing Life's Challenges

Make no mistake about it.  The recent economic downgrading is the cherry on top of the pie of problems we face daily, whether watching TV, Internet, Smart devices, etc.  And there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

The temptation is to react as quickly as possible.  To make decisions to counteract the possible adverse effects this might have on our lives.

As a Colorado Springs CO Realtor, I am not going to try to sell anyone a residential property in Colorado Springs based upon the principles of fear. I am not going to scare others into thinking that federal and mortgage interest rates are going to soar through the roof, so now is the time to buy before it’s too late to do anything constructive.

The reality is this.  None of us can live in a perpetual state of fear and grief.  We’re not created to live fearfully, for which we have zero control over geo-political events in this world.  Nor can we sustain the onslaught of hopeless news about our future based upon those who make these predictions for our lives.

We believe one of the keys to dealing with all that is happening relates to your ability to deal with change.  Being blessed during these times does not mean that you’re immune from the disparaging trials we all encounter today. Rather, we believe it has to do with your ability to walk in love – being thankfully content (due to God's powerful deliverance of the human spirit) with all that you think and feel and do at any given time in your journey of life.

As a result, we’re here to help look at your real estate needs from different perspectives, specifically those that will create stability over fear for your lives.

Gordon,

Ronald said what I would have said very eloquently.  We have to focus on our little world and make it a wonderful place from which to operate.  From that focus, we can bring more positive attitude to our outer circles, and little by little we can make changes.  Peggy's emphasizes your point well also.  Have a great day.

Great job Gordon. Playing upon person's fears will in the end backfire for realtors. I believe that educationg buyers and sellers gives them the tools to make wise decisions.
