The state of the real estate industry for some has gone from happiness to hopelessness, from abundance to abandonment, from desire to drought, from feast to famine.  We are being led to believe through repetition, trauma and circumstances portrayed through the media that the real estate industry has and continues to fall and experience continual drought and nothing can be done to turn it around. 

I love the story of George Dantzig that Cynthia Kersey wrote about in Unstoppable. As a college student, George studied very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two math problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough and dropped the homework on the professor's desk the next day.

Later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical mind teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer. But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years.

Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

" We need to keep reminding ourself that humans have tremendous reservoirs of potential within them, and therefore we are quite capable of doing anything we set your mind to. All we must do is figure out how, not whether or not we can. And once we have made our mind up to do it, it's amazing how our mind begins to figure out how." 

It certainly looks like we have a dynamic future, This to shall pass..........................
