Leading by Example. Wise words from Jeff Benson and ReMax Realty 100

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker

 Every Monday morning I have come to look forward to Jeff Benson's message. I wanted to share this with fellow Waukesha County Wisconsin real estate agents, the cyber community in Waukesha County Wisconsin, and everyone who reads this. It made me think hard. I am a grateful man, and I have come to realize that life truly is attitude and gratitude. It is an honor to work for Jeff Benson who owns the ReMax Realty 100 offices. My personal growth has excelled in th last week and when I read this message this morning it allowed me to take a step back and I wanted to thank anyone that has always been there for me. Some I may not thank you as often as I should. Thanks to Jeff Benson for writing this and truly leading by example, and with his heart. Please take his advice and thank someone or better yet, give them a hug. I most certainly did. I wish to thank my friend and Gail for raising such a great son. The credit does go to her.

 

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE:

 

Welcome to this edition of My Monday Morning Message..... I hope you all are having a nice LONG relaxing weekend. I know I sure am! This week would be a great week to work on relationships. Do you treat all the people in your life in that special way they deserve. If not, start. We all go through life and with the hustle and bustle of living we forget to make sure we do not take for granted those special people that are around us. It could be a spouse or significant other. It could be your children or your parents. It could be your best friend or a co-worker. It could be a total stranger. Let's take 5 minutes and realize that we are never too busy to look into the eyes of the person we love for just a few more seconds each day. Let's take 5 minutes and realize that we are never too busy to spend just a few more minutes playing with a child or talking to a parent. Let's take 5 minutes and realize that we are never too busy to help a friend with a problem they are having and actually pay attention. Let's not be so busy in life that we miss it!!!

 

Happy Columbus Day !!!

 

 

ENCOURAGEMENT CORNER...

 

Echo or Life

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!"

Hopefully this gratitude will come from the heart and not just a "that's a nice shirt" remark that was so popular for a while.  People know the difference and will spot it immediately.  I agree it is so important to take note and acknowledge anothers efforts and life.  Mark
