In the real estate business and in life we can experience a wide range of emotions in a single day.  It is almost impossible for us to consistently stay balanced 24/7 without some outside intervention.  This intervention can sometimes be caused inadvertently or with purpose.  I personally would rather learn to stay balanced by my own choice and that is why I read quotes.  

These quotes are some of my favorites and help me re focus on what is important when I get off balance.  Some are good for business, personal, spiritual, or just plain funny. It is surprising how a few words and phrases spoken out loud and internalized can have such a profound effect.  I hope you enjoy them and they are helpful for you, I am sure you have read or heard some of them.
