I'm on a positive roll tonight.

I am a positive person but tonight I am on a bigger roll of being positive.  Have you ever run into that nasty, mean old person.  Or even that person that is always trying out a new scam or taking advantage of people.

Live is short.  Some people only think of themselves.  Some of the divorces that happen in this country happen because one of the spouses is only thinking of themselves.  The spouse wanting that greener pasture, or wanting that younger or prettier partner.  Or wanting a totally different way of life.

Some people are driven to make lots of money at any cost.  Willing to sell anything even though it may not suit the buyers needs.  Willing to put their needs before the customers.  How many times I heard in mortgage offices " I have to feed and support my family"  I knew some mortgage guys that made $10,000 a loan.  Many times there was no regard for what the customer needed.  It was about what was going to line their pockets.  Over the years I lost some customers because I would not do what they said.  Sometimes it was illegal, sometimes they where buying houses that I knew they could never afford.  They went down the street and got the mortgage, bought the house.  They don't have the houses anymore.

Sometimes we take a path, it is a choice that we make to take shortcuts.  It is your choice in life to be mean, to be nasty.  It's your choice to line our pockets from the pockets of others.  ( You can make lots of money by doing the honest way) It's our choice to do the right thing. To help others.  It is your choice to grow into that mean old nasty person or the person that helps others.  It is your choice to take advantage of people to line your pockets or it's your choice to make the world a little better each month you live.

Will you be remembered as a user or a giver

                                   a volunteer or a hermit

                                   a miserly person or a benevolent person

                                   a person you want to see or a person people avoid

                                   a scammer or some body that is honest

It's your choice what you grow into.

Russ~ How do people make it through life if they are miserable?  Life is just too short to be miserable or unhappy. I love life and I love every day I am given.  Each day is a blessing!

Awesome thoughts.....You're absolutely right, there are some in our industry who can stand up and say that they are responsible for the current state of the mortgage market... Fortunately for me I'm not one of them... I like to sleep at night and I have a conscience...

Thanks for sharing...
