Recently I recieved the following email from a Realtor responding to the question WHY?:
"In the three years before I became a realtor, as a budding real estate investor, I was involved with three different realtors. Following their advice, or lack of it, ended up costing me a lot of money.
"I originally became a realtor to be the kind of agent that I needed for myself. In the three years since I've been a realtor, I have found that my reason for getting into the real estate profession was not enough to drive me or sustain me.
"In January of 2006, I was diagnosed with Breast cancer. At the time my income was so low that I qualified for the Nashville Breast & Cervical Cancer Program (NBCCP). After four surgeries and thousands of dollars worth of treatment & procedures later, I will soon be approaching my first anniversary of being cancer free!
"It's a little stretch of my imagination to believe that I have received over a million dollars worth of medical care; all at little or no cost to me.
"My BIG WHY didn't come until after I watched "THE SECRET." I later became an advisor for the National Community Foundation which is the fund raising arm for New Life International.
"As an expression of my gratitude for all I have received, I will be tithing 10-50% or more of my commissions to "pay forward" and perpetuate the abilities of the National Breast & Cervical Cancer Program (NBCCP) and the Nashville General and Vanderbilt Hospitals, to serve women like myself. I'm also planning to fund scholarships for the Meharry medical and dental students.
"You are right! It takes a WHY, and sometimes a really BIG WHY to keep going. You don't have to LIVE LARGE to DREAM LARGE and MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!
"Please keep my name confidential. Thank you, also, for holding my vision on to manifestation with me."
Do you know what you want? Do you know WHY you want it?
To your continued success,
Ron, "The Mortgage Doc"
