Sudden Slump?

By
Education & Training with Berman & Pollinger, LLC.

When I see a high performance agent or team hit the skids or slide sideways in business, it is almost always a problem on the personal level.  One of the reoccurring issues is a tap root of bitterness that is held.  In order to break free and get back on track we need to pause the business coaching and start working through the issue. 

One of the fundamental truths we start with is to come to see how staying unresolved with someone or something in your past hurts you far more than it hurts anyone else.  My grandfather, an old preacher, used to have a saying that he would use from time to time in his sermons - "Bitterness is a poison that destroys the vessel in which it's stored far more effectively than on the person on which it is intended to be poured."

When we can see that it is hurting us far more than the other person it enables us to face the very real benefit of forgiveness and letting it go.  Those unresolved issues are an anchor that chains us to our past hurts, disappointments and wounds.  While the anchor holds, we have no hope of sailing on to our dreams.  The former always restricts the latter. 

When we are held up and haunted by the hurts of the past, learn to see them as the cancer they are and learn to forgive and let go. 

It's in your benefit to do so.

 

 

Carpe diem,

Chris

Well put!! It is so true that if you are always looking back at best you stumble ahead.

This is very true; sometimes it takes going through something awful, a misunderstanding, family squabble, etc. and being by yourself for a while, to realize how true the words contained in your blog are..after going through all of the emotions involved, I definitely agree with what you're saying.

Nicely Put! I had an experienced agent tell me early on in my career "look forward to tomorrow, learn form the past and forget it" There have been many times thourghout my career that I have used that advice, though sometimes it is not always that easy.
