I'm No Mind Reader

Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

I like to participate in challenges and do so when I can. This one is beyond my pay grade though. Without being political, and I could certainly go there, this is an absolute crap shoot. No one really knows what the impact of a new administration filled with unknowns or too knowns will be. I wish I had an idea but I don't. I am simply hoping that no drastic actions will be taken that impact my income, my social security or my life.

I am doing my best to just live every day in my own community, and make a difference where I am. My goal this year is not to agonize over things beyond my control and instead focus and concentrate on where I am and make a difference there. There are things that happen all over the world that move markets, and more importantly change lives forever. I can't make those things stop or change but I can make my world better. And so I can only predict one thing and that is that while I don't know what will happen next year I do know that I will do everything in my power to make a difference to all I come in contact with both personally and professionally. My course of action is set and I don't plan to fail, so watch out community, you're going to see me work really hard and make a difference. And yes, I do plan on traveling too.

Hi Sheila- very good entry.  We have no control over what happens in the "outside world" but we can control what it is we do.

It is not selfish to take care of yourself regardless of who is in office, but also it is in my opinion selfish if we do not oppose unfairness, bigotry, or hatred.

Controlling the things you can in your own world is as good as any of us can do.

I participated in the challenge.  My prediction for 2017 is UNPREDICTABILITY. It's kind of hard to deny that!

I just returned yesterday from my trip overseas. I flew into Berlin, just days after the Christmas market attack. While my heart ached, it would never have changed my plans. We can't control what others do but we can control how we react to it.

The only predictions I came so far: I phone will come up finally with some revolutionary design and interest rates will remain relatively low.
