“Some Messages are just Worth Repeating”

 

I was recently touched by a gal that called me regarding a mortgage. She has had her challenges when it came to credit, health issues and a divorce. She is not quite ready for a mortgage, but once she is ready she will be a great homeowner and someone’s neighbor.

 

It seemed every time she shared one of these situations, she immediately went on to say, it could always be worse or how blessed she was.

 

I couldn't help but think how she is right and that she sees the bigger picture. She kept distracting me, as I really want to hear her and the messages that she shared.

 

When we were done, I thanked her for spending the time with me and being a teacher. She was a bit surprised by my statement and told me that she will send me something by which she lives her life.

 

These words are what she sent me and I thought I would share them with you. Enjoy.

lessons learned in life

WOW...those are some great words for us to ponder and strive to live by. I always believe a situation (good or bad) is what it is. Two of my friends and I use that saying quite a bit. So if the situation is what it is you can't change it, but you can make the best of it. Personal outlook has a lot to do with how one handles things. The message you posted is certainly a positive one. Thanks for sharing it. These words just might change someone's outlook.

That's certainly the attitude that all of us need to have. It's so easy to look at what we don't have instead of what we do.

Joe-It is interesting how some have amazing challenges navigating through life and the do it in such a positive manner, and other get thrown off stride by something as minor as a hangnail.
