Crisis Management

Crisis Management

 

For some life seems centered around the crisis du jour.  

So it makes sense that real estate mimics life in that aspect for those people.

Well..that is if you let it.  Right?

 

Please understand your crisis might not be my crisis.  

And in fact -- I may not think of it as a crisis at all.  

It’s that perspective thing. Again.

 

I will listen but don’t be upset if your crisis is not going to make it onto my "to do" list.  I simply may not have the time.  

Okay - I haven’t used that particular script…

I have been tempted more than a few times this week.  There is no need to name the players in question.  I am sure we have met them at one time or another.     

 

I get it.  I understand.  Stuff happens.

 

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

Henry Kissinger

 

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Anton Chekhov

 

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

H. G. Wells

 

I do understand there are real crises.  I don’t mean to diminish them.

But let’s face reality.  

 

I have said it before -- real estate is not brain surgery.

 

I repeat it to myself. It's almost a mantra.

 

And then I repeat it again. Just because.

 

Occasionally I add another word.  

 

Perspective. Yes, that's the word I add...yes...really.

 

Note:  I say this to myself  although I am sure there are people who might be able to see the thought bubble appearing over my head.  

 

I admit to eye rolling at times. And with a sigh, it becomes a dangerous combination when left uncontrolled.

 

Just some thoughts from the week.  

Happy Saturday.   

Because a good attitude is within our control even when surrounded by the crisis created by others.
