This is a picture of the Wonderworks building that I have been passing several times a day as I travelled between my hotel and the National Association of Realtors Convention in Orlando. I couldn't help but make the mental comparison between the "upside down building" and the wacky real estate market in which we are currently operating. After listening to some of the best speakers in the real estate industry, there are two thoughts that bubble to the top:

• If you think that you have it bad, look around. There is someone worse off.
• If you can make it in this environment, you'll be awesome when things turn around.

As hard as it may be at times, keep your positive outlook and try to spread it to others. Who knows, if you focus on being a positive influence on others, you may sell an extra home or two.
